Last updated: February 20, 2026
These General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) apply to all business relationships between:
Elevia e.U.
Keplerstraße 4/3/12
4040 Linz, Austria
hereinafter referred to as “Elevia”
and
commercial partners, including but not limited to shopping centers, event organizers, markets, municipalities, public venues, companies and other business clients (“Commercial Partners”); and
end customers, visitors, parents, legal guardians and accompanying persons in cases where Elevia operates the attractions directly (“Visitors”).
The applicable section of these GTC depends on the specific contractual relationship.
PART A – B2B
Rental and Cooperation with Commercial Partners
1. Contract Formation
A contract between Elevia and a Commercial Partner is concluded exclusively through written order confirmation, written acceptance of an offer, signed agreement, or another written confirmation by Elevia.
Oral agreements, side agreements, changes or additions are only valid if confirmed in writing by Elevia.
Submitting an inquiry via the website, email, phone, social media or any other communication channel does not constitute a binding booking or contract.
Elevia reserves the right to decline inquiries without giving reasons.
2. Scope of Services
Elevia provides premium rideable animatronic dinosaur attractions, kiddy rides, pop-up attractions and related event services.
The exact scope of services, number of attractions, event duration, location, setup and dismantling times, technical requirements, staffing, transport and any additional services are defined in the respective offer, written confirmation or individual agreement.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, all attractions are intended for indoor use only.
Outdoor use is excluded unless expressly approved by Elevia in writing and only if suitable weather protection, stable ground conditions, power supply and safety measures are provided.
The attractions are CE-marked where legally required. Relevant documentation can be provided upon request where available and applicable.
3. Responsibilities of the Commercial Partner
The Commercial Partner is responsible for providing all necessary conditions for safe delivery, setup, operation and dismantling.
This includes, in particular:
Providing a suitable, level, stable, clean and sufficiently large installation area
Ensuring safe access for delivery, loading, unloading, setup and dismantling
Providing unrestricted access during agreed setup and dismantling times
Ensuring sufficient power supply, unless otherwise agreed
Ensuring that the installation area is free from obstacles, hazards, moisture, unsuitable flooring or other risks
Providing any required permits, approvals or official authorizations
Ensuring compliance with all local, legal, regulatory, fire safety, building and event requirements
Providing appropriate crowd management
and general site safety
Providing barriers, security staff or additional safety measures where required by the location, event concept or authorities, unless otherwise agreed
Ensuring that emergency exits, escape routes and safety zones remain clear
Ensuring event liability insurance and, upon request, providing proof of such insurance
Ensuring the protection of the attractions and equipment outside operating hours, especially against vandalism, unauthorized access, manipulation, theft or damage
The Commercial Partner must inform Elevia in advance of any site-specific restrictions, including but not limited to loading restrictions, access limitations, floor load limits, opening hours, security procedures, elevator dimensions, door widths, fire protection requirements, house rules or technical restrictions.
If the installation area, access, power supply, safety conditions or other circumstances are unsuitable, Elevia may refuse setup, interrupt operation, change the setup or cancel the service, without this giving rise to any claim for damages by the Commercial Partner.
4. Use, Supervision and Safety
The attractions may only be used in accordance with Elevia’s instructions and safety rules.
The Commercial Partner must ensure that Visitors, children, parents, legal guardians, accompanying persons, employees, contractors and third parties comply with all safety rules and staff instructions.
The attractions, controls, cables, batteries, fuses, barriers, decorations, stair platforms, technical components and accessories may not be moved, opened, modified, manipulated, climbed on, pulled, pushed or otherwise interfered with by the Commercial Partner, Visitors or third parties.
Elevia may immediately stop the operation of an attraction if safety instructions are ignored, if Visitors behave improperly, if children are not supervised, if the equipment is at risk, or if Elevia considers continued operation unsafe.
5. Prices, VAT and Payment Terms
All prices are quoted in euros.
Unless otherwise stated, prices are net prices. If Elevia is exempt from VAT under the applicable small business regulation, no VAT will be charged. If VAT becomes applicable, statutory VAT will be added or shown in accordance with applicable law.
The Austrian small business regulation may allow invoices without VAT under certain conditions and turnover thresholds; according to WKO information, small businesses may not show VAT on invoices when using this exemption.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the following payment terms apply:
50% deposit upon contract conclusion
50% balance due no later than 30 days before event start
If a booking is made less than 30 days before the event start, the full amount is due immediately upon contract conclusion, unless otherwise agreed.
Elevia reserves the right to withhold services, refuse setup, interrupt operation or cancel the booking if payments are not received on time.
In case of delayed payment, statutory default interest, reminder fees, collection costs and legal costs may apply.
6. Transport, Setup and Dismantling
Transport, setup and dismantling are carried out by Elevia or by persons or companies commissioned by Elevia, unless otherwise agreed.
Transport costs, travel costs, accommodation costs, parking costs, loading costs, waiting times, special access requirements and additional logistics costs may be charged separately.
The Commercial Partner must ensure suitable truck access, loading areas, parking spaces, access routes, ramps, elevators and sufficient time windows for setup and dismantling.
Waiting times, failed delivery attempts, additional handling, special permits, security delays or other additional costs caused by the Commercial Partner, the venue or third parties may be charged separately.
7. Changes to Location, Time or Scope
Changes to the agreed location, event date, setup time, dismantling time, operating time, attraction selection or scope of services require written approval by Elevia.
Elevia is not obliged to accept changes requested by the Commercial Partner.
If changes result in additional costs, these costs must be borne by the Commercial Partner.
8. Cancellation by Commercial Partner
Cancellations must be made in writing or text form, for example by email.
Unless otherwise agreed, the following cancellation fees apply:
Up to 30 days before event start: 30% of the agreed total price
14 to 30 days before event start: 50% of the agreed total price
Less than 14 days before event start: 100% of the agreed total price
Costs already incurred, including but not limited to transport, logistics, staff planning, accommodation, third-party costs, marketing preparation, permits or custom preparations, are payable separately in addition to the cancellation fee.
The date of receipt of the cancellation by Elevia is decisive.
