24. CONSUMER PROTECTION RIGHTS 

Under the applicable laws, Consumer is a person who purchases goods and services for personal use (hereinafter: “Consumer”). 

Therefore, if you are using the App and registering for an event as a natural person (and not in any professional capacity, nor on behalf of an Enterprise), you fall under the category of Consumer and specific consumer protection rules apply in accordance with the applicable laws.  

24.1. Cooling-off period 

As a general rule, under applicable Consumer protection regulations you have the right to return purchases made online or through other types of distance selling, within 14 days for a full refund. You can do so for any reason – even if you simply changed your mind. 

However, the 14-day cooling off period does not apply to all purchases. Namely, the 14-day cooling off period does not apply to services related to leisure activities (such as concert tickets, theater tickets, or tickets for different events) if the contract stipulates a specific term or period of execution.  

Therefore, Consumers are not entitled to the 14-day cooling off period for the event ticket purchases made via the Bloomberg Events App.  However, Consumers are entitled to a refund in accordance with the generally applicable events cancellation and refund policy, as described in Section 6 of TOU. 

24.2. (Non)conformity of a service and Consumer complaints procedure 

The meaning of (non)conformity of a service may warry depending on the applicable consumer protection law. However, as a general rule, a service is not in conformity with the contract if: 

1) in terms of content, quality and purpose, it does not correspond to the description given by the seller in an advertisement or in another similar way before the conclusion of the contract; 

2) does not correspond to the description given by the seller during the provision of the service, provided that this could have influenced the consumer's decisions; 

3) does not have special properties that were requested by the consumer, and which were or should have been known to the seller at the time of concluding the contract; 

4) does not have regular characteristics of services of the same type; 

5) does not meet the expectations based on the nature of the service and the seller's public promises regarding the special features of the service, especially if they were made through an advertisement; 

6) in terms of content, quality, and purpose, it does not correspond to the description given by a third party on behalf of the seller before the conclusion of the contract, in an advertisement or in another similar way. 

If the Service is not in accordance with the contract, the Consumer can request the seller to perform a corresponding service. 

If the performance of the corresponding Service is impossible or illegal, the Consumer may demand termination of the contract. If the performance of the corresponding Service represents a disproportionate burden on the seller, the Consumer may demand a price reduction or termination of the contract. 

If you think that the Service is not in conformity with the contract, please contact us at ​events@bloombergadria.com ​ 

 

24.3. Out-of-court procedures 

a) If you conclude an Agreement with Arena News (the Republic of Serbia) 

Arena Sport hereby informs the Consumer about the possibility of resolving the dispute out of court, before the Body for out-of-court settlement of disputes, in accordance with the current Law on Consumer Protection. 

The seller is obliged to participate in the out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes initiated by the Consumer. 

In order for the Consumer to initiate the out-of-court dispute resolution procedure, it is necessary that the Consumer: 

1. filed a complaint to the seller or 

2. stated an objection to the seller 

In this regard, the seller has the obligation to: 

• receive the reported complaint 

• electronically confirm the receipt of the complaint, that is, communicate the number under which the Consumer's complaint was filed 

• without delay, and at the latest within eight days from the date of receipt of the complaint, respond to the reported complaint in writing or electronically 

The seller has a deadline for resolving the complaint, which cannot be longer than 15 days, from the day the complaint is submitted. 

After receiving the response to the reported complaint, the Consumer can initiate an out-of-court (or court) procedure for resolving the consumer dispute. The procedure for out-of-court settlement of disputes is urgent. 

Initiating and conducting the procedure for the out-of-court resolution of a consumer dispute does not exclude and does not affect the exercise of the right to judicial protection. 

 

b) If you conclude an Agreement with HD-WIN (the Republic of Croatia) or Arena sport (the Republic of Slovenia) 

According to Regulation 524/2013 on the online resolution of consumer disputes, disputes related to online purchases can be resolved through the ODR platform, which can be accessed here. 

This means that in the event of a problem during an online purchase within the EU, a complaint can be submitted at the above link. 

The platform can be used by both consumers and traders, and complaints can be filed in any of the 23 official languages ​​of the EU. 

We invite Customers to always contact us first via events@bloombergadria.com so that we can help solve the problems as quickly as possible. 

The customer will be answered within the legal term, and in accordance with the applicable laws.
