You need to register with a written registration form for the Balloon Jam Hamburg. This can be done either through the homepage of the Balloon Jam Hamburg, via email or fax. You cannot register orally. By registering you accept the participation conditions. The registration is binding and can only be cancelled by downtown event. After registering, you will get an automatically sent email that confirms the incoming of the registration. This email is not a conclusion of contract. Only when you got the following email with a confirmation, together with an invoice, it is a conclusion of contract.

The participant is authorized to find another suitable delegate to take over his spot. The enforcement of other harms remains reserved by downtown event.

5. Accomodation/rooms

When booking a bed in a multi-bed-room, you only book a bed and not a room. Downtown event claims the right to distribute the participants into the beds.

Further demands of the participants are not acceptable unless the host or his assistants act in gross negligence.
