4. Use and resale of tickets, contractual penalty
4.1 For safety related reasons, to achieve a widespread supply of tickets at socially acceptable prices and to prevent resale of tickets at inflated prices, in particular to avoid ticket speculation, the Xmas Con can restrict the resale of tickets.
4.2 The customer undertakes and expressly guarantees to purchase and use the tickets exclusively for private purposes. Purchase for commercial or business (i.e. for profit) resale is not permitted. The customer is in particular prohibited from a) offering tickets for sale publicly, in auctions (in particular on the Internet, e.g. on Animexx or Facebook), b) reselling tickets at a price higher than the price paid, c) reselling tickets regularly and/or in a greater number, d) selling or passing tickets to commercial or business resellers and/or ticket agents, e) using or permitting use of tickets for business or commercially without the prior written agreement of the Xmas Con, in particular for advertising purposes, marketing, as a bonus, as promotional giveaway, as a prize or as part of an unauthorised hospitality or package holiday, f) passing tickets to persons who have been banned from the location, where the customer was or must have been aware of this circumstance.

The precise level of the contractual penalty will be determined by the Xmas Con in the individual case in its reasonable discretion and in the event of a dispute its reasonableness will be examined by the competent court. The contractual penalty will be credited against any claims for damages by the Xmas Con arising from the breach. The Xmas Con reserves the right in such case to report in an appropriate manner on the incident including naming the customer, in order to prevent future use of the tickets in breach of contract. In addition to the possible sanctions the Xmas Con may require the customer to pay to it any proceeds or profits achieved from the unauthorised transfer of the tickets in whole or in part.
