A direct contract will only be concluded with self-responsible, independent, commercially local suppliers and service providers (hereinafter referred to as \u201c<em>partner companies<\/em>\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInclusive Partners\u201d are partner companies which the K\u00e4rnten Card customer with a charged K\u00e4rnten Card can visit once (max. 1x) per day free of charge. The exact scope of services can be found on the respective detail page of the tourist destinations and our advertising media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Bonus Partners\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;are partner companies that are subject to a best-price guarantee; they must grant cardholders the same or better conditions than any other individual customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the issuance and the use of the K\u00e4rnten Card, the following conditions apply expressly as agreed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Services, Definitions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the purchase of the K\u00e4rnten Card or the purchase of a K\u00e4rnten Card service package on a pre-existing card equivalent to the purchase of a K\u00e4rnten Card, the respective buyer acquires the right to the services described in the brochure, depending on the card category and subject to the present General Terms and Conditions. These are either inclusive services of the K\u00e4rnten Card inclusive partners, bonus services of the K\u00e4rnten Card bonus partners, or services of the Carinthian transport association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The services of the Carinthian transport association are excluded from the K\u00e4rnten Card seasonal package. The inclusive services comprise the use of the offered services already paid by the purchase of the K\u00e4rnten Card. The bonus services only include the right to a reduction of at least 10% on the admission fee to be paid for the services used. Decisive for the scope and type of service to be claimed is, in addition to the respective card category, always the non-binding content of the K\u00e4rnten Card brochure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.Scope of Services \/ Liability:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All partner companies of the K\u00e4rnten Card act self-responsibly as independent commercial enterprises. The partner companies are obligated to provide cardholders during the campaign period with all their services identified as the K\u00e4rnten Card services in the indicated service quantities and in a timely fashion within their normal business hours as well as according to their General Terms and Conditions. The services of an inclusive company can be used maximum once per day. The exact scope of services can be found on the respective detail page of the tourist destinations and our advertising media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Limitations on the use of the K\u00e4rnten Card services may generally arise from the operating hours of individual partner companies, which do not cover the entire campaign period of the K\u00e4rnten Card, especially due to weather\u2011 and season\u2011related circumstances. Therefore, one shall take the non-binding opening hours indicated in the K\u00e4rnten Card brochure as well as any other information of the partner companies into account (e.g., their website, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IGKC reserves the right to terminate the agreements with individual inclusive partners, bonus partners, and the Carinthian transport association at any time during the campaign period for important reasons without having to compensate the cardholder for the possibility of using the services offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the services of the \u201cNational Park K\u00e4rnten Card\u201d, the conditions of the \u201cHohe Tauern \u2013 die Nationalpark-Region in K\u00e4rnten Tourismus&nbsp;GmbH\u201d apply additionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>4. Toll Roads \/ Shipping Lines \/ Mountain Cable Cars:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using toll roads, every vehicle passenger (motorcycle, car, or bus passenger) must have a valid K\u00e4rnten Card. Otherwise, a proportional road toll will be charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The offer of the shipping lines refers to the trips scheduled according to the timetable and not to special events and special services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The K\u00e4rnten Card is a leisure card and not a sports card. The offer of mountain cable cars therefore does not refer to daily multiple repetitive traffic for sports purposes (e.g., paragliding, tobogganing, cycling, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>5. Issuing Prerequisites:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The K\u00e4rnten Card is issued by authorized sales or issuing offices.

The charging points or points of sale are assisting issuing offices of the IGKC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Park K\u00e4rnten Card is issued free of charge by certain tourist accommodation companies for the duration of the tourist\u2019s stay and can thus not be purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>6.
