9. LEGAL-CONSEQUENCES RISK / LIABILITY / EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY / WAIVER DECLARATION

9.1. The user of the facility is aware that in handling firearms, in close combat and in tactical training there is an increased risk to health and life. When shooting, accidents with considerable resulting injuries (in the extreme case death) cannot be ruled out even with the greatest care.

9.3. Everyone is responsible for their own conduct, in particular for their conduct with the firearm and for the shot fired by them, and is liable to the full extent for all resulting damage to persons and/or property. For damage outside the intended use, in particular through errant shots (any surface other than the target and the bullet trap), the party causing it is liable. Thus the price for a ceiling, wall or floor shot, for example, is EUR 38, for a lighting fixture EUR 96.
