The supervision of passengers, especially of children, teenagers and persons in need of assistance, is not part of the services of AGT Bus- & Eventlogistik GmbH. If the order confirmation from the bus company differs from the content of your registration, a new offer from AGT Bus- & Eventlogistik GmbH exists, which you can accept within the given period by explicit or conclusive declaration (payment of the owed remuneration), provided that the necessary capacities are free at the time of acceptance.

3. Cancellation of carriage, changes in services and price

2. AGT Bus- & Eventlogistik GmbH is entitled to change the agreed content of the contract of carriage only for legally permissible reasons. Changes or deviations of individual transport services from the agreed content of the transport contract, which are necessary after conclusion of the contract and which are not caused by AGT Bus- & Eventlogistik GmbH, are only permissible insofar as these changes and deviations are not substantial and do not affect the and do not affect the overall nature of the booked transport.

Should this be the case, the customer will be informed immediately, but no later than 21 days before the transport. Price increases thereafter are not permitted.

With regard to the new date, additional costs may arise which are to be borne by the customer. These will be communicated to the customer in writing after intensive examination by AGT Bus- & Eventlogistik GmbH. The implementation of the rebooking can only take place if the customer confirms the rebooking including additional costs in writing by mail or letter.
