Terms and Conditions

Bavarian Outfitters, Sole Proprietor: Constantin von Günther, Munich Last updated: 21 May 2026

Note: This is an English translation of our German General Terms and Conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen / AGB). In case of any conflict or ambiguity between the two versions, the German version shall prevail. The German Cancellation Policy (Widerrufsbelehrung) is the legally binding instrument; the English translation is provided for the convenience of our international customers.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to the rental of traditional Bavarian attire (Tracht) and accessories through Bavarian Outfitters (“Provider”) via the websites bavarian-outfitters.de and dirndl-leihen.de, as well as for reservations and rental contracts concluded in our branches on-site.

Important: We exclusively offer rental items. No sale of garments takes place.

1. Scope and Defense Clause

These Terms and Conditions, in the version applicable at the time of reservation or order, apply exclusively to the legal relationships established through our online shop and at our branches between the Provider and its customers (“Renter”). No verbal side agreements exist. Amendments must be in writing. Conflicting terms and conditions of the Renter are rejected.

3. Presentation of Rental Items

The presentation of rental items in the online shop does not constitute a binding offer by the Provider to conclude a rental contract. The Renter is merely invited to submit a binding offer by way of a reservation or order.

Online, only the selection of size is possible. The garments depicted serve only as an illustration of style and general appearance. The reservation of a specific depicted individual item is not possible.

The final selection of the garment and any fitting take place at the branch. The Provider provides the Renter with a garment in the chosen size and the general type (e.g. Dirndl, Lederhose); the color, pattern, fabric, cut, and other details of the actually provided rental item may differ from the examples shown in the online shop.

4. Reservation, Order, and Conclusion of the Rental Contract

4.1 Free Online Reservation (Pay upon Pickup)

Online reservations via our websites are free of charge and non-binding. No online payment takes place in the regular reservation process. The rental contract is concluded only upon collection of the reserved items at one of our branches and the payment of the rental price made there.

4.2 Order with Hotel Delivery (Advance Payment)

If the Renter wishes to have the rental items delivered to a hotel within the Munich city area, full advance payment of the rental price via our payment service provider Stripe is required.

By submitting the order and successful online payment, the Renter makes a binding offer to conclude a rental contract. The Provider confirms receipt of the order by e-mail; this order confirmation does not necessarily constitute acceptance. Acceptance is made by explicit declaration of acceptance or, at the latest, by delivery of the goods.

The contract is concluded in the German language.

5. Rental Prices, Payment Methods, Due Date

5.1 Rental Prices

The rental prices displayed on the website at the time of reservation or order apply. All prices are Euro final prices and include the applicable statutory value-added tax (VAT).

The rental prices apply for the rental period selected during the order process. The minimum rental period is one day.

5.2 Payment at the Branch (Pay upon Pickup)

Payment of the rental price is made on-site at the branch exclusively by card. Accepted payment methods:

EC/Girocard
common credit cards (Visa, Mastercard)

5.3 Online Payment for Hotel Delivery

For orders with hotel delivery, advance payment via Stripe is mandatory. The total amount (rental price and delivery costs) is due upon order completion and charged immediately.

6. Right of Withdrawal and Cancellation

6.1 Free Reservations (Pay upon Pickup)

A free online reservation does not constitute a binding offer and does not establish a contract. No rental contract is concluded prior to collection at the branch; the reserving party is therefore not under any obligation.

Cancellation of the reservation is not required. If the reserved item is not collected, the reservation expires automatically — without any cost or further obligation for the reserving party. A brief cancellation notice by e-mail or phone is appreciated for organizational reasons, but it is not mandatory.

6.2 Paid Hotel Deliveries — Statutory Right of Withdrawal

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal for distance contracts of prepaid rental with hotel delivery. The cancellation policy below informs you about the conditions, period, and consequences of withdrawal. The model withdrawal form is included as an appendix at the end of these Terms.

Important: You do not need a form to withdraw. A short, informal statement by e-mail to [email protected] informing us that you wish to withdraw from the contract is sufficient. Using the model withdrawal form is optional.

6.3 Paid Hotel Deliveries — Cancellation Outside the Right of Withdrawal

Cancellation outside of the statutory right of withdrawal is not possible for hotel deliveries that have already been paid for.

If the rental item is not accepted on the agreed delivery date, or if delivery is not possible for reasons attributable to the Renter, there is no claim to refund of the rental price already paid.

6.4 Delivery Delays and Non-Availability

If the requested item is unavailable or significant delivery delays occur, the Provider will inform the Renter promptly by phone or e-mail. In such cases, the Renter has the right to withdraw from the contract; payments already made will be refunded in full.

7. Collection, Delivery, and Return

7.1 Collection at the Branch

Rental items can be collected during business hours at one of our branches (see § 2). Current opening hours are listed on the website.

Upon collection, the Renter must verify that the goods are in satisfactory and complete condition. Any defects must be reported to our staff immediately on-site.

7.2 Delivery and Return for Hotel Bookings

We offer delivery of rental items to hotels within the Munich city area for a fee. Delivery outside this area is available upon request for an additional fee.

Restriction to hotels with a reception: Delivery is exclusively made to hotels with a permanently staffed reception that can both accept the items and release them for collection. It must be ensured that the rental items can be reliably received and also handed back out. Delivery to vacation rentals, Airbnb accommodations, private addresses, or comparable accommodations without a permanently staffed reception is excluded. Collection of rental items from such accommodations is also not possible.

Delivery time — no just-in-time handover: Delivery is made by handover of the rental items to the hotel reception. A precisely timed personal handover directly to the Renter (“just-in-time” delivery) is not possible. The Renter specifies the latest acceptable delivery time during the order process; the Provider is entitled to deliver at any time prior to this point.

Return at the hotel: The return of rental items for hotel bookings is made by depositing them at the hotel reception. The rental items must be ready for collection at the reception by 10:00 a.m. on the agreed return day at the latest, unless a different time has been explicitly agreed in writing.

7.3 General Provisions on Return

The Renter is obliged to return the rental items promptly upon expiry of the agreed rental period. The return is made either:

at the branch where the rental items were collected, during business hours, or
in the case of hotel bookings, in accordance with the provisions in § 7.2.

Return at a branch other than the branch of collection is only possible upon prior explicit written agreement with the Provider.

For collection at the branch, the latest possible return time is communicated to the Renter upon contract conclusion at the branch verbally, additionally in written form via a return card, and by e-mail. The return time so communicated is decisive.

The rental items are only considered returned once the return has been confirmed by an employee of the Provider.

Late return: In the case of late return, the regular daily rental price of the respective garment is due for each commenced additional rental day. The Provider is entitled to invoice these amounts to the Renter.

8. Warranty

The Renter’s warranty rights are governed by general statutory provisions.

The rental items are used textiles which may show typical signs of wear. By concluding the rental contract, the Renter consents to renting used goods.

Leather, as a natural product, is subject to structural variations; certain tolerances are unavoidable but do not diminish the authenticity or quality of the product.

The Provider is entitled to provide the Renter with a different piece of rental goods than originally reserved, provided that this piece corresponds in size and type to the reserved item. Color, structure, material, and pattern may differ.

9. Renter’s Obligations and Liability

From the time of handover to the Renter, the Renter’s agent, or the transport person, the Renter is personally liable for loss, partial loss, damage, and soiling of the rental items.

The rental items may only be used in accordance with the contract. Subletting or transfer of the rental items to third parties for their own contractual purposes is not permitted without the Provider’s express written consent. Independent modifications of the rental items (cutting, sewing, dyeing, etc.) are prohibited.

The Renter undertakes to handle the items with care and to keep them away from open flames and strong heat sources in particular.

The cleaning of typical signs of wear is included in the rental price and is carried out by the Provider.

The following defects are not typical signs of wear but constitute gross soiling or damage: heavy soiling from paints, liquids, blood, oils, grease, adhesives, lacquer, wax, burn marks, holes, tears in leather, fecal matter, or similar.

For damages exceeding typical signs of wear, the Renter is liable — subject to the provisions in § 10 (Worry Free Protection) — for the cleaning or repair costs incurred, and in the case of total loss or complete destruction for the replacement value of the rental items.

Replacement values in case of loss or destruction: In the event of loss (complete or partial) or destruction of individual components of the rental items, the following replacement values become due as liquidated damages:

Item	Replacement value
Lederhose (leather trousers)	229.00 €
Suspenders of the Lederhose	39.90 €
Shirt	29.90 €
Dirndl	199.00 €
Apron	39.90 €
Blouse	19.90 €
Socks	14.90 €
Shoes	59.90 €

These values apply equally to complete or partial loss as well as to willful or non-repairable destruction. The Renter is entitled to prove that the Provider incurred a lesser damage.

10. Worry Free Protection

10.1 Content of the Worry Free Protection

The optionally bookable Worry Free Protection (“All-Inclusive Package”) is a contractual extension of your rental agreement under which the Renter, against an additional fee of EUR 4.90 per item, is released from the Provider’s claims for damages to the extent described in § 10.2. The cases expressly not covered under § 10.3 remain excluded.

10.2 Scope — Included Cases

Under the Worry Free Protection, the Provider waives any claims against the Renter arising from § 9 of these Terms for soiling of any degree of the rental items, including gross soiling such as:

paint, liquids, blood, wine, oils, grease,
adhesives, lacquer, wax,
fecal matter, vomit,
and comparable soiling.

Also included are damages that occur during the proper use of the rental items, such as tears while dancing, small holes, or burn marks from accidental contact (e.g. with cigarettes or sparklers).

10.3 Scope — Expressly Excluded Cases

The following cases are expressly not covered by the Worry Free Protection and remain fully reimbursable by the Renter:

a) Loss and partial loss The complete or partial loss of the rental items or of individual components (e.g. buttons, bodice, apron, hat feathers, belt, etc.).

b) Willful destruction Damage or destruction of the rental items carried out intentionally and with the aim of damaging or destroying the rental item itself. This includes in particular — but not exhaustively:

cutting off or tearing off skirt, trouser, sleeve, or apron parts,
slashing or cutting through fabrics,
intentional setting on fire or burning,
intentional dousing with destructive substances.

In the aforementioned cases, the Renter remains liable in accordance with § 9, up to the replacement value of the rental items.

11. Severability Clause

Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become wholly or partially invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. In place of the invalid provision, a valid provision shall apply that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.

12. Image Rights

All images displayed on our websites are the property of the Provider and/or are subject to its right of use. Duplication, distribution, or commercial exploitation of the images without the Provider’s express written consent is prohibited.

13. Disclaimer for Linked Content

Our websites contain links to third-party websites. The Provider has no influence on the design and content of these linked sites. We expressly do not adopt their content as our own and accept no liability for the content of linked third-party sites.

14. Jurisdiction and Applicable Law

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with the rental contract is — to the extent legally permissible — Munich, Germany.
