The purchase contract for e-tickets is concluded between the customer and the respective museum organizing the event. The business transaction also takes place between the customer and the respective museum. Accordingly, it is not myCulture GmbH, but the respective museum that is responsible for providing the contractually agreed service. The customers' contractual partners in the context of ticket purchases are exclusively companies

1.5. Changes. myCulture expressly reserves the right to change the services offered.
