E-world reserves the right to reject orders at a later stage due to the content or presentation of the draft, without it being possible to derive any compensation claims of any kind due to this.

Any different handover deadlines or agreements must be in writing to be effective.

 3. If, due to force majeure, it is impossible to set up advertising media or if for the same reason advertising media are destroyed or so badly damaged that it is no longer possible to use them before half of the exhibition time has passed, then the hirer shall be exempt from payment of the hire charge. A minor impairment of the advertising spaces hired - possibly due to stand structures, clusters of trees, scaffolding - shall not give any entitlement to a reduction in the hire charge.
