1. area of application
The house rules – in their current version – apply to the entire premises of „Huxleys Neue Welt“ (hereinafter referred to as „Huxleys“), including all access routes, outdoor areas, open spaces and parking areas. The house rules apply on all days for the visitors of the Huxleys, the employees, the users and their employees.
2. infringements
Violations of the house rules can lead to immediate expulsion, exclusion from the event or a permanent ban from the house. All holders of the domiciliary right and the representatives of the transferred domiciliary right are entitled to this. A permanent house ban can be issued verbally. For documentation purposes, the personal data of the person concerned will be recorded.
3. Aim of the house rules
The house rules are intended to prevent danger or damage to persons and property, to ensure that events run smoothly, and to protect Huxleys from damage and contamination.
4. domiciliary rights / enforcement of the house rules
The domiciliary rights at Huxleys are exercised by the company „Channel Music GmbH“ (hereinafter referred to as „Operator“). By proxy, this is exercised by the manager of the Huxleys and / or the commissioned security service, provided that the house rules have been transferred to them. The right of the operator / the organizer to claim damages against the visitor remains unaffected.
5. access and stay of visitors
The Huxleys is not a generally accessible area. Access and stay at events will only be granted upon presentation of a valid admission ticket / accreditation. All visitors must carry their admission ticket with them during their stay at the Huxleys. This ticket must be presented upon request by the operator / house rights holder and, if necessary, handed over for inspection. Accreditations must be worn visibly at all times; any loss must be reported. The validity and usability of the admission ticket are governed by the general terms and conditions for the purchase of admission tickets of the respective organizer. Visitors who are found at Huxleys without a valid admission ticket / without a valid accreditation may be immediately expelled from the premises without further justification.
The admission ticket loses its validity when leaving the Huxleys. This does not apply to visitors who have been marked as such when leaving. In this case, re-entry is possible in conjunction with the original admission ticket. The visitor must request this circumstance independently. A refusal of re-entry due to serious reasons remains unaffected.
The security service is authorized to carry out access, baggage and personal checks. These can be carried out manually or with the help of detectors (metal probes). The presentation of identification documents may be required.
6. Admission and stay of children / adolescents
The admission and stay of children and adolescents is in principle subject to the currently valid „Youth Protection Act“. The following restrictions / additions apply:
- Children and young people under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a person with parental authority. A person with parental authority is not sufficient. The duty of identification / proof must be observed.
- Adult persons with parental authority may accompany a maximum of 2 children and young people between 14 and 16 years of age in order to ensure the duty of supervision.
Exceptions to this are the responsibility of the operator / the security service (insofar as domiciliary rights have been transferred). - Proof of parental authority must be provided in the form of a fully completed and signed authorisation („Muttizettel“) and a copy of the identity card of the person with parental authority. A subsequently completed or incomplete authorisation does not constitute a valid educational order.
- Children under 6 years of age are generally not admitted to events. This does not apply to events which are explicitly intended for children and young people or which are suitable for families.
- Children and young people generally require a valid admission ticket. Other regulations can be found in the general terms and conditions of the respective organisers.
7. Denial of admission / exclusion from the event
