Terms and Conditions - Retro-Rento

Last updated: June 2026

§ 1 Scope

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all rental contracts concluded between giant Computer Systems, Marc Breuer (hereinafter "Lessor") and the customer (hereinafter "Lessee") via the platform retro-rento.de. The Lessee's deviating terms and conditions will not be accepted unless the Lessor has expressly agreed to them in writing.

§ 2 Conclusion of contract

The presentation of rental items on the platform does not constitute a binding offer but an invitation to submit an order (invitatio ad offerendum). The Lessee submits a binding offer by completing the order process. The rental contract is concluded when the Lessor confirms the reservation by email.

Prior registration on the platform is required to make a reservation. The Lessee is obliged to provide truthful and complete information when registering.

§ 3 Subject matter of the rental

The Lessor makes the items selected during the order process (retro décor, wedding supplies and similar items) available to the Lessee for the agreed rental period. The condition of the rental items is documented at handover.

§ 4 Rental period, pickup and return

The rental period is set during the reservation. Rental items can only be collected and returned in person at our premises; shipping is not available. The exact pickup date is agreed after the reservation is confirmed.

Return must take place at the agreed return date. In the event of late return, a late fee equal to the daily rental rate per commenced day of delay will be charged, unless the Lessor has expressly agreed to an extension.

§ 5 Prices, tiered pricing and VAT

The prices stated on the platform at the time of reservation apply. Rental prices depend on the booked rental period; tiered daily rates may apply (lower daily rates for longer rental periods). All prices include statutory VAT.

§ 6 Payment

The Lessee may choose from the following payment methods:

Online via Stripe: Payment is processed through the payment service provider Stripe. The charge is made upon reservation confirmation.
Cash on pickup: The total amount (rental fee plus deposit) is to be paid in cash at the time of pickup.

§ 7 Security deposit

A security deposit is required for certain rental items. The amount of the deposit is stated during the order process. The deposit will be refunded after the complete and undamaged return of the rental item. In the event of damage or loss, the deposit will be retained in whole or in part (see § 9). The deposit is payable online via Stripe or in cash on pickup.

§ 8 Lessee's obligations

The Lessee undertakes:

To handle the rental items with care and use them as intended.
To return the rental items completely and punctually at the agreed time.
To use the rental items exclusively personally and not to sublet or transfer them to third parties.
To report any damage or loss to the Lessor immediately.

§ 9 Damage and loss

In the event of damage to or loss of rental items, the Lessee is liable for the resulting damage. The deposit will be retained to cover the damage. If the damage exceeds the deposit amount, the Lessee is obliged to pay the difference. Any further claims for damages by the Lessor remain unaffected.

§ 10 Cancellation

Cancellations must be submitted in writing (by email) to the Lessor. The following cancellation fees apply:

Cancellation more than 14 days before pickup: free of charge
Cancellation 7–14 days before pickup: 25% of the rental price
Cancellation less than 7 days before pickup: 50% of the rental price
Cancellation less than 48 hours before pickup or no-show: 100% of the rental price

Deposits already paid will be refunded in full upon cancellation in all cases.

§ 11 Lessor's liability

The Lessor is liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health, as well as for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence. Otherwise, liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage at the time of conclusion of the contract. Liability for slight negligence in the violation of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) remains unaffected.

§ 12 Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Sales Convention. If the Lessee is a consumer with their habitual residence in another EU member state, any mandatory consumer protection provisions of that state remain unaffected.

The place of jurisdiction for disputes with merchants, legal entities under public law or public law special funds is Fürth.

Should individual provisions of these GTC be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
