Terms &
Conditions

BrainLabs GmbH, Brandstrasse 25, 8952 Schlieren, Switzerland, CHE-138.884.414 ("BrainLabs") has developed a Social-Table Concept and Marketplace called Drool ("Drool"). Under the brand "Drool", BrainLabs offers gastronomy, hotel, and event business entrepreneurs ("Partners") the opportunity to develop their own Social-Table creations ("Social-Tables") online and offer those to their guests on the marketplace. Interested users ("Users") can book and pay for tickets for these Social-Tables online and thereafter participate in them.

• By creating a partner profile on Drool, the Partner acknowledges having read, taken notice of, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions of Use.
• BrainLabs reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions of Use from time to time and appropriately inform the Partner thereof. Applicable are the Terms and Conditions of Use as then in effect that are accessible on Drool ([
  ]). By using Drool, the Partner agrees to the applicable Terms and Conditions of Use.
• If Partners disagree with any amendments to the Terms and Conditions of Use, they can contact BrainLabs at [email protected] or via Chat Box and send a request for account termination. The Partner is aware that this may result in certain services becoming no longer available to the Partner. After the account closure, the Partner"'"s profile is also deleted, or a process is carried out that is equivalent to the deletion (such as complete anonymization of all data).

• Partners independently offer services ("Social-Tables") on Drool on the basis of the Social-Table Concept. Drool allows the User to connect with such Partners via the Social- Marketplace and book Social-Tables.
• Drool offers three categories of Social-Table:
  • Drool Public-Table: Basically, all Users may participate in the Drool Public-Table to the extent that relevant tickets are available. This allows Users to enjoy the Partner's relevant service with Users who are unfamiliar to them and so contact Users unfamiliar to them.
  • Drool Private Table: In the case of Drool Private-Tables, the Partner's services are in advance limited to a group of two or four Users who know each other. The focus is on enjoying the service together with trusted persons. For the rest, the Drool Private-Table is identical to the Drool Public-Table.
  • Drool Personal-Table: The Social-Table is designed and customized upon the User's request and is available to him and persons of his choice, who must register previously. This table also can be used to handle catering requests.
• Social-Tables may include other services that, if necessary, are provided by engaging third parties (e.g. provision of a transportation service by the User to the Partner; the "Transportation").

• The contractual relationship that governs the use of Drool by Users is between the User and BrainLabs and is regulated by relevant Terms and Conditions of Use for Users (the "Terms and Conditions of Use for Users"), which are available under this Link, and any further terms on Drool.
• BrainLabs offers Social-Tables on Drool in the name and on behalf of Partners.
• Where the User books Social-Tables through Drool, a contractual relationship arises between the User and the Partner with respect to the Social-Tables in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of Use for Users. BrainLabs is not a party to this contractual relationship and is only involved in its arrangement and performance as an assistant of the Partner. BrainLabs acts always in the name and on behalf of the Partner (direct representation).
• The contractual relationship between the User and the Partner, where this is accor-dingly laid down, is regulated by the Terms and Conditions of Use for Users and any further terms on Drool.

To use Drool, the Partner must register itself on Drool. The registration is verified by BrainLabs. BrainLabs may deny the registration without any reason.

• The Partner has the right to use Drool for its intended purpose. Any alternative use is prohibited.
• BrainLabs may at any time, at its sole discretion, terminate the use of Drool by Partners, refuse the registration, delete the profile, and/or prohibit them the use.
• BrainLabs expressly reserves the right to terminate the operation of Drool at any time, at its sole discretion, without providing any reasons whatsoever.

• Pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Partner may offer Social-Tables on Drool, without involving BrainLabs as far as content is concerned.
• BrainLabs has no obligation to ensure that Partners offer the User such Social-Tables. BrainLabs has full discretion regarding whether, which, how many, and what type of Social-Tables are offered by Partners on Drool.
• The offering of Social-Tables on Drool is as follows:
  • Drool Public-Tables and Drool Private-Tables: The Partner may create a Drool Public-Table and Drool Private-Table on Drool under the provisions of this Agreement. After their creation and any verification by BrainLabs, Drool Public-Tables or Drool Private-Tables are displayed on Drool and, subject to relevant availability, can be booked by the User directly via Drool.
  • The Partner may change relevant offers of Social-Tables until at least one User makes a booking. Thereafter, any change is excluded.
  • With regard to Drool Personal-Tables, the User can express his interest in such a Personal-Table via Drool. BrainLabs will then within a period determined by BrainLabs – usually 72 hours – select up to five suitable Partners and request them to make a relevant offer. The Partner undertakes to respond to such requests within a period of 48 hours. BrainLabs forwards these offers to the User after appropriate verification, within 24 hours, in the name and on behalf of the Partner, without disclosing the identity of the Partner. The offers that the Partner makes available to BrainLabs for forwarding remain binding for a reasonable period – unless otherwise agreed between the Partner and BrainLabs, at least until the end of the eighth business day following the User's initial request. The User can then, if he is still interested, choose the Offer that is attractive to him and make a selection and payment via Drool. The Partner's identity is disclosed after the payment.
• If the User books via Drool a Drool Public-Table, Drool Private-Table, or Drool Personal-Table offered by a Partner, a respective contractual relationship arises between the User and the Partner upon payment of the total fee to BrainLabs (as the Partner's collection point). The booking procedure is completed when BrainLabs issues a ticket for the Partner. The ticket must contain at least the following information:
  • type, subject, place, and time of the Social-Table;
  • information about the Partner;
  • number of booked participation rights;
  • name of the User.
• BrainLabs will provide the Partner with a guest list with names of participating Users before the target date. In addition, the Partner can get information on the status of bookings on Drool.

• (a) On completion of the booking, a contractual relationship between the User and the Partner arises with respect to the User's participation in the Social-Table and with respect to the conduct by the Partner of the Social-Table for the User.
• (b) Such contractual relationship is governed by the relevant provisions of the Terms and Conditions of Use for Users as in effect at the time of the booking. They are incorporated during the booking. The Partner acknowledges having read, understood, taken notice of, and agreed to these terms and conditions. In the event of any inconsistencies, the following order of precedence applies:
  • (i) The Terms and Conditions of Use for Users as then in effect, to the extent rele-vant to the contractual relationship between the User and the Partner.
  • (ii) Any specific terms and conditions of the respective Social-Table as agreed upon during the booking.
• (c) BrainLabs acts in connection with Social-Tables only as a direct representative or assistant of the Partner with regard to the negotiation and conclusion of the agreement and certain other activities as set out in the Terms and Conditions of Use for Users. All information on Drool and all other possible communication of BrainLabs with the User in relation to specific Social-Tables are to be understood as public announcements of BrainLabs in the name of the respective Partner (direct representation). In relation to the booking of, participation in, and conduct of Social-Tables, BrainLabs under no circumstances becomes a party to the agreement (and/or other agreements between the User and the Partner in relation to the booking of, participation in, and conduct of the Social-Table).
