Exercise after exercise toward the perfect drift: Your adrenaline level is guaranteed to rise on the 120,000-square-meter ice rink in<br />

the C 63 AMG or the CLS 4MATIC you learn to induce targeted oversteer in the drift slalom and thus develop a sense for the grip<br />

and the over- and understeer of the vehicle. You’ll then practice to coordinate steering input and throttle on the skidpad until you<br />

are able to hold the drift for several turns. The day ends with a true program highlight, the Race of Champions. Are you ready to rise<br />

disciplined behavior<br />

Participants are to behave in a disciplined manner during the driving event. The <strong>Mercedes</strong>-<strong>Benz</strong> Driving Events<br />

instructors are authorized to issue instructions to participants for the duration of the driving events.<br />

Self-retention in case of damage<br />

The vehicles placed at the participants’ disposal by <strong>Mercedes</strong>-<strong>Benz</strong> Driving Events are provided with fully<br />

comprehensive insurance coverage including self-retention to the sum of EUR 1,000. In case of damage to the<br />

vehicle provided, the participant shall be obliged to pay this self-retention sum to the organizer. This obligation<br />

may be waived at the organizer’s discretion where damage occurs in a driving exercise in which the participant<br />

has demonstrably followed the instructor’s instructions.<br />

Where claims are not payable by the insurer owing to gross negligence by the participant or if damage which is<br />

not covered by the fully comprehensive insurance arises due to fault on the part of the participant, the participant<br />

shall be liable for all such damage which he or the person accompanying him may cause.<br />

participation fee<br />

In case of bank transfer, the participation fee shall be due on receipt of invoice, but no later than 14 days prior<br />

to the beginning of the event. In case of payment by credit card, the participation fee shall be charged to the<br />

pant<br />

right of retention shall be applicable only where such right is based on claims arising from this contract.<br />

<br />

payable within 4 weeks of receipt of invoice. The remaining balance shall be due no later than 4 weeks before<br />

the event. Dispatch of the flight ticket shall be contingent upon receipt of the full invoice amount.<br />

Accident insurance<br />

Liability<br />

Should statutory responsibility attach to Daimler AG in accordance with these provisions for a case of damage<br />

resulting from ordinary negligence, Daimler AG’s liability shall be limited: liability shall apply only in case of<br />

breach of material contractual duties and shall be limited to typical damage as was foreseeable at the time of<br />

conclusion of the contract. This restriction shall not apply to harm to life, limb or health. Irrespective of any<br />

fault on the part of Daimler AG, any liability of Daimler AG under product liability law shall remain unaffected.<br />

Daimler AG’s statutory agents, vicarious agents and employees shall not be personally liable for damage<br />

caused by ordinary negligence on their part. The same shall apply to the owners of the site at which the<br />

training is carried out or to parties holding other entitlements to the said site. No strict liability in tort shall be<br />

assumed for any defects on the vehicle provided. Access to the training site is not permitted for spectators and<br />

accompanying persons who are not registered as participants; no liability shall be assumed for such persons.<br />

As the on-site team’s attention is devoted to the participants during our events, it is not possible to attend to<br />

spectators and accompanying persons.<br />

15. Final provisions<br />

All agreements must be set down in writing. This requirement shall apply equally to subsidiary agreements and<br />

undertakings and to subsequent contractual amendments. Should a provision of this contract be ineffective<br />

or unfeasible, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this contract. Acting in good faith<br />

and within the bounds of what is reasonable, the contracting parties shall replace such an ineffective provision<br />

with a provision which corresponds as closely as possible to the intended legal and economic effect of the<br />

ineffective provision. Where the contract is concluded with a foreign party, the contractual relationship shall be<br />

subject exclusively to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The sole place of jurisdiction for all claims<br />

arising from this contract shall be Munich, if the participant does not possess a place of general jurisdiction in<br />

Germany, relocates their domicile or usual place of residence out of Germany or if their domicile or usual place<br />

of residence is not known at the time of instituting proceedings.<br />

<strong>Mercedes</strong>-<strong>Benz</strong> Sport<br />

Genuine individualization of the premium class.<br />

There are many good reasons for driving a <strong>Mercedes</strong>: fascinating design, tangible quality<br />

and unmistakable style. The <strong>Mercedes</strong>-<strong>Benz</strong> Sport program highlights the vehicle’s<br />

character even further – in elegant and sporty fashion.<br />

The add-on parts emphasize the sporty character with unerring style; not least because<br />

they were developed in the same place that also created the A-Class: in the<br />

<strong>Mercedes</strong>-<strong>Benz</strong> Technology Center. The product portfolio includes a lip spoiler for the<br />

front and rear fascia, shiny black exterior mirror housings, roof spoiler, chrome-plated<br />

trim elements, a shiny black radiator grille with chrome inserts as well as a sporty<br />

leather-wrapped steering wheel and brushed stainless-steel sport pedals in the interior.<br />
