Self-retention in case of damageThe vehicles placed at the participants’ disposal by Mercedes-Benz Driving Events are provided with fully comprehensive insurance coverage including self-retention to the sum of EUR 1,000. In case of damage to the vehicle provided, the participant shall be obliged to pay this self-retention sum to the organizer. This obligation may be waived at the organizer’s discretion where damage occurs in a driving exercise in which the participant has demonstrably followed the instructor’s instructions.

Where claims are not payable by the insurer owing to gross negligence by the participant or if damage which is not covered by the fully comprehensive insurance arises due to fault on the part of the participant, the partici-pant shall be liable for all such damage which he or the person accompanying him may cause.

participation feeIn case of bank transfer, the participation fee shall be due on receipt of invoice, but no later than 14 days prior to the beginning of the event. In case of payment by credit card, the participation fee shall be charged to the participant’s account after receipt of invoice (approx. 3 weeks prior to the beginning of the event). The partici-pant may only offset claims where the participant’s counter-claim is undisputed or a valid title is enforceable; a right of retention shall be applicable only where such right is based on claims arising from this contract.The following special provisions apply for Sweden: A deposit corresponding to 50 % of the participation fee is payable within 4 weeks of receipt of invoice. The remaining balance shall be due no later than 4 weeks before the event. Dispatch of the flight ticket shall be contingent upon receipt of the full invoice amount.

• EUR 260,000.– in case of death• EUR 512,000.– in case of invalidity• Allowance of up to EUR 3,000.– for medical expenses• Allowance of up to EUR 3,000.– for recovery costs

LiabilityShould statutory responsibility attach to Daimler AG in accordance with these provisions for a case of damage resulting from ordinary negligence, Daimler AG’s liability shall be limited: liability shall apply only in case of breach of material contractual duties and shall be limited to typical damage as was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract. This restriction shall not apply to harm to life, limb or health. Irrespective of any fault on the part of Daimler AG, any liability of Daimler AG under product liability law shall remain unaffected. Daimler AG’s statutory agents, vicarious agents and employees shall not be personally liable for damage caused by ordinary negligence on their part. The same shall apply to the owners of the site at which the training is carried out or to parties holding other entitlements to the said site. No strict liability in tort shall be assumed for any defects on the vehicle provided. Access to the training site is not permitted for spectators and accompanying persons who are not registered as participants; no liability shall be assumed for such persons. As the on-site team’s attention is devoted to the participants during our events, it is not possible to attend to spectators and accompanying persons.

Final provisionsAll agreements must be set down in writing. This requirement shall apply equally to subsidiary agreements and undertakings and to subsequent contractual amendments. Should a provision of this contract be ineffective or unfeasible, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this contract. Acting in good faith and within the bounds of what is reasonable, the contracting parties shall replace such an ineffective provision with a provision which corresponds as closely as possible to the intended legal and economic effect of the ineffective provision. Where the contract is concluded with a foreign party, the contractual relationship shall be subject exclusively to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The sole place of jurisdiction for all claims arising from this contract shall be Munich, if the participant does not possess a place of general jurisdiction in Germany, relocates their domicile or usual place of residence out of Germany or if their domicile or usual place of residence is not known at the time of instituting proceedings.

Mercedes-Benz SportOriginal-Individualisierung der premium-Class.

Mercedes-Benz SportGenuine individualization of the premium class.

There are many good reasons for driving a Mercedes: fascinating design, tangible qual-ity and unmistakable style. The Mercedes-Benz Sport program highlights the vehicle’s character even further – in elegant and sporty fashion.

The add-on parts emphasize the sporty character with unerring style; not least be-cause they were developed in the same place that also created the A-Class: in the Mercedes-Benz Technology Center. The product portfolio includes a lip spoiler for the front and rear fascia, shiny black exterior mirror housings, roof spoiler, chrome-plated trim elements, a shiny black radiator grille with chrome inserts as well as a sporty leather-wrapped steering wheel and brushed stainless-steel sport pedals in the interior.
