Terms of Service

1.1 EventCoster (eventcoster.com) is operated by LESPIRANT GmbH, Karlstraße 72, 40210 Düsseldorf, Germany, represented by its managing director Laurent Tran, registered at Amtsgericht Düsseldorf, HRB 77926, VAT ID DE306695058, email info@lespirant.com ("we", "us").

1.2 These Terms apply to your use of EventCoster with a user account. You can browse EventCoster without an account; in that case, sections 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13 and 14 apply accordingly.

1.3 Any terms of yours that differ from these Terms do not apply.

2.1 EventCoster helps you find events and estimate the total cost of attending them (travel, accommodation and related costs), and lets you save and compare trips.

2.2 We are not a travel agency or tour operator and do not sell or arrange travel services. Any booking is made directly between you and the third-party provider (e.g. an airline, hotel or booking platform), under that provider's terms.

2.3 Some links to providers are affiliate links: if you book through them, the provider may pay us a commission. This does not change the price you pay.

2.4 We display travel options using criteria such as price and travel time. Commissions do not influence the order in which options are shown.

3.1 You must be at least 18 years old to create and use an account. By creating an account, you confirm that you are.

3.2 You sign in with your Google or LinkedIn account. We receive your name and e-mail address from that provider, as described in our Privacy Policy.

3.3 When you first sign in (and again whenever we publish a new version of these Terms), we ask you to accept these Terms. The contract for the use of your account is formed when you accept.

3.4 Keep your sign-in credentials secure. You are responsible for activity carried out through your account unless you are not at fault.

3.5 Each person may hold only one account. Accounts are not transferable.

4.1 EventCoster is currently free of charge.

4.2 If we introduce paid features, they will be offered under separate terms, including the price, renewal and cancellation terms, which you must accept before any purchase.

5.1 Costs shown on EventCoster are estimates. They are based on information from third-party providers and public sources, may be cached, and may have changed by the time you book.

5.2 We take reasonable care to keep event information accurate, but we cannot guarantee that events take place as described, or that prices or availability are correct. The provider's offer at the time of booking is decisive.

6.1 You will use EventCoster only for lawful, personal and non-commercial purposes.

6.2 You must not: (a) access, collect or copy content or data from EventCoster by automated means (scraping, bots), except through interfaces we expressly provide; (b) attempt to access other users' data or accounts, or to circumvent security or usage limits; (c) interfere with the operation of the service; or (d) use EventCoster to infringe the rights of others.

6.3 You are responsible for checking travel documents, entry, visa and health requirements, and the terms of the providers you book with.

EventCoster contains links to websites and services of third parties. We have no control over them and are not responsible for their content, availability or services. Their own terms and privacy policies apply.

8.1 The EventCoster service, including its software, design and our own content, is protected by copyright and other rights. You may use it only as intended under these Terms.

8.2 Names, logos and trademarks of events and providers belong to their respective owners.

8.3 Content you enter (for example trip notes) remains yours. You grant us the non-exclusive right to store and process it only as far as needed to provide the service to you.

9.1 We are liable without limitation (a) for intent and gross negligence, (b) for injury to life, body or health, (c) under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), and (d) to the extent we have given a guarantee.

9.2 In cases of slight negligence, we are liable only for the breach of an essential contractual obligation, meaning an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose fulfilment you may regularly rely. In that case, our liability is limited to the damage that is typical for this type of contract and foreseeable.

9.3 Otherwise, our liability is excluded. These limitations also apply to the personal liability of our employees, representatives and agents.

9.4 We are not liable for the services of third-party providers that you book via links on EventCoster (see section 2.2).

We aim to keep EventCoster available but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may change or discontinue features for good reason, for example for technical, legal or security reasons, taking your interests into account.

11.1 The contract runs for an indefinite period.

11.2 You can end it at any time by deleting your account in Privacy Settings. This deletes your account data, as described in our Privacy Policy.

11.3 We may end the contract with 4 weeks' notice. We may suspend or terminate an account without notice for good cause, in particular for serious or repeated breaches of section 6. Where reasonable, we will warn you first.

We may change these Terms for good reason (for example changes in law or new features). We will inform you of changes in good time, and we will ask you to accept the new version before you continue to use your account. If you do not accept, you can delete your account at any time. Your continued use alone does not count as acceptance.

How we process personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy. These Terms do not ask for your consent to data processing.

14.1 These Terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you have your habitual residence.

14.2 If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Düsseldorf, Germany. Consumers may bring proceedings in the courts provided for by law.

15.1 We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
