How this application works
Notwithstanding its role as a pure technical service provider as described above, the Provider may provide additional services to any party involved in such interactions, such as packaging, shipping or dispute resolution support.
This application is simply a technical infrastructure or platform that enables interaction between users. The provider is not directly involved in such interactions between users.

Account creation
In order to use the Service, Users may register or create a User Account by providing all data or information required for this purpose completely and truthfully.
The service can also be used without registering or creating a user account. However, this may result in limited availability of certain functions.
The user must ensure that the access data is kept confidential and secure. For this reason, the user must also choose a password that meets the highest security requirements possible through this application.
Upon registration, users agree to be responsible for all actions taken in connection with their username and password.

Due to the blocking or deletion of user accounts, the user shall not incur any claims for damages, indemnification or reimbursement.
The blocking or deletion of accounts for reasons for which the user is responsible does not release the user from the obligation to pay agreed fees or prices.
Content available through this application
Unless otherwise stated or clearly identifiable, all content available through this application is owned and provided by the provider or its licensors.
The Provider shall make every effort to exclude the possibility that the content provided via this application violates applicable legal provisions or the rights of third parties. However, it is not always possible to achieve this result.
In such cases, users are requested to address their complaint preferably to the contact details provided in this document. The right to enforce any claims (out of) court shall remain unaffected.
Rights to the content available through this application
All rights to the content are reserved by the provider.
Users may only use the content to the extent that this is necessary or – even implicitly – intended for the proper use of the service.
In particular, users are not permitted to reproduce, download, distribute beyond the limits defined below, edit, translate, modify, transform, publish, transfer to or license to third parties, or enable third parties – even without the user’s knowledge – to perform said actions via their own device.

In particular, this application might contain third-party advertisements. The Provider does not control or moderate the advertisements displayed through this Application. By clicking on such ads, users establish a connection with such third parties who are responsible for the respective advertising.

Therefore, the Provider reserves the right to take all appropriate measures to protect its legitimate interests, such as denying Users access to this Application or the Service, terminating contracts, reporting objectionable acts taking place through this Application or the Service to the competent authorities – such as judicial or administrative authorities – if Users prove or presumably:
- violate legal regulations, ordinances or these GTC; or
- infringe the rights of third parties; or

TERMS OF SALE
Chargeable products
Some of the products available through this application as part of the service are subject to a fee.
Prices, terms and other conditions applicable to the purchase of such products are described below. In all other respects, reference is made to this application and to the respective sections provided for it.
Product description
Prices, descriptions and availability of the products can be viewed in the appropriate areas through this application and are subject to change without notice.
Although products are represented through this application with the greatest possible technical care, representations of any kind (including graphic representations, images, colors, sounds) are for reference only and do not constitute a warranty as to the characteristics of the purchased product.
The features of the selected product will be explained during the purchase process.
Purchase process
All steps from choosing a product to placing an order are part of the purchase process.
The purchase process includes the following steps:
- The user selects the desired product from the range and checks his own product selection.
- After checking the details of the product selection, the user can place the order by submitting it to the provider.
Order task
When the user places an order, the following applies:
- With placing the order the contract is concluded. Placing the order therefore creates an obligation for the User to pay the price, taxes and any other fees and expenses as indicated on the order page.
- If the purchased product requires the active input of information, such as personal information or data, specifications or special requests, the placing of the order shall constitute an obligation on the part of the user to cooperate accordingly.
- After placing the order, users will receive a confirmation of receipt.
All notifications related to the described purchase process will be sent to the e-mail address provided by the user for this purpose.
Prices
Users will be informed of all fees, taxes and charges (including any shipping charges) to be paid by them during the checkout process and before placing the order.
The prices are displayed via this application as follows:
- either exclusive or inclusive of all applicable fees, taxes and charges, depending on which section the user is currently in.
Payment methods
Information on accepted payment methods will be provided during the checkout process.
Some payment methods may only be available with additional conditions or fees. In these cases, you can find the relevant information in the corresponding section of the service (this application).
Payment methods that are handled by the provider itself are marked accordingly. In this case, the provider collects and stores the data required for payment processing and fulfillment of the associated legal obligations. The User may read the Privacy Policy of the Service (this Application) to learn more about data processing and their rights regarding their own data.
Other payment methods – if available – are managed via third-party services. In such cases, this application does not collect any payment data – e.g. credit card data – but merely receives a message from the third-party service provider concerned once the payment has been successfully made.
If the payment through the available methods fails the provider is not obliged to fulfill the order. Any costs or fees resulting from the failed or refused payment shall be borne by the user.
Authorization for future PayPal payments
When users authorize the PayPal feature that enables future purchases, this application stores an identification code that is linked to the users’ PayPal account. This authorizes this application to automatically process payments for future purchases or recurring installments of past purchases.
This authorization can be revoked at any time, either by contacting the provider or by changing the user settings at PayPal.
Maintenance of the rights of use
Users do not acquire any rights to use the purchased product until the full purchase price has been received by the Provider.
Delivery
Provision of services

This Application is provided and made available solely on an “as is” and “as available” basis. The use of the service is at your own risk. Provider expressly disclaims all conditions, representations and warranties – express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement to the extent permitted by law. Any advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by the User from the Provider or through the Service shall not create any warranty unless expressly stated.

All content downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the Service is downloaded at your own risk. Users are solely responsible for any damage to the User’s computer system or mobile device or loss of data resulting from such download or use of the Service by the User.
The Provider does not warrant or assume responsibility for, nor endorse, any products or services advertised or offered by third parties through the Service or through any hyperlinked website or service. Transactions between users and third-party providers of products or services are neither mediated nor monitored by the provider.
The service could become inaccessible or stop working properly with the user’s web browser, mobile device and/or operating system. The provider cannot be held liable for perceived or actual damages arising from the content, operation or use of this service.
Federal law, some states, and other jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties. The above exclusions may not apply to users. This agreement gives users certain rights, while he could have other rights depending on the jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of liability under the Agreement shall be ineffective to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
Limitation of liability
- To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall the vendor or its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers or employees be liable for
- Any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for lost profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses arising in connection with the service or its unavailability; and

Any liability of Provider, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees for any claims, revenues, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses or costs shall be limited in amount to the amount paid under this Agreement by User to Provider during the preceding 12 months or, if less, over the entire term of this Agreement between Provider and User.
This limitation of liability applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or any other basis, even if the provider has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. These T&Cs confer certain rights on the User, while the User may be entitled to additional rights depending on the legal system. The exclusions and limitations of liability within the framework of the General Terms and Conditions shall be ineffective if prohibited by applicable law.

User agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees from and against any and all claims or demands, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debts and expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, arising out of or in connection with
