These General Terms and Conditions shall apply to all contracts concluded with GRT Global Rail Academy and Media GmbH / Trackomedia (hereinafter referred to as "Publisher") on the publication of advertisements, irrespective of whether the person placing the order or customer is a consumer, entrepreneur or merchant. We do not accept any different conditions of the clients or customers. This is also valid, even if we do not expressly object to their inclusion.

Disputes over published advertisements / banners must be raised within one year of conclusion of the contract.

  3. If an order is not fulfilled due to circumstances beyond the publisher's control, the customer shall be reimbursed the full price, irrespective of any further legal obligations. The reimbursement is void if the non-fulfillment is based on force majeure beyond the risk level of the publisher.

Otherwise no guarantee can be given for the inclusion of advertisements in specific numbers, issues or places.

This refusal will also apply if the content of the advertisements or supplements violates laws or official regulations and thus their publication is unreasonable for the publisher. This also applies to orders placed at branch offices, acceptance offices or representatives.

Supplements which, by means of format or presentation, give the reader the impression of a component of the printing unit or contain third-party advertisements are not accepted.
