Any exemptions from these GTC can only be bindingly agreed upon  if the OL accepts these exemptions in writing. Verbal agreements must be in writing to be valid. This also applies to the waiver of this requirement of written form. 
The contracting party hereby undertakes to comply with all measures against the spread of Covid-19 effective as at the day of the event. These measures may also change between the day of the conclusion of the contract and the event, but this does not constitute a reason for cancelling the contract.

Notwithstanding any applicable regulations, the contracting party shall endeavour to ensure that only guests vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus attend the event. As far as possible, the organising company shall only employ vaccinated staff on site as well.

This includes in particular, but is not limited to, theatre performances of any kind and public shows, performances and amusements within the meaning of § 1 of the Vienna Events Act.
