8. Information on Warranty and Liability

We would like to point out that the competition and the prizes are voluntary services on our part, which are not subject to the same scope of guarantee and liability as, for example, the purchase of such prizes independent of the competition.

Warranty limitations for Prizes: We shall not be liable, subject to our own fault in accordance with the provisions of the liability notices in these conditions of participation, for goods and services won which are not offered on the market by ourselves. In all other respects, the warranty and guarantee conditions of the respective providers of the items and services shall apply, provided that these do not restrict the participants and can be transferred by us to the participants.

Termination or Restriction of the Competition: We would like to point out that the availability and function of the competition can only be guaranteed within the scope of reasonability for us and the participants. The competition may be terminated by us at any time, in particular due to external circumstances and constraints. External circumstances and constraints include, but are not limited to, technical problems, legal changes or mandatory measures by third parties beyond our control.

Differences of Prizes: The prizes shown in the description of the competition may differ from the goods or services presented to the winners, provided that they are equivalent in terms of the prizes described from the point of view of an average participant. According to this, deviations in model, color, locality, etc. may exist.

Liability: The following disclaimers and limitations of liability shall apply to our liability for damages, notwithstanding the other statutory conditions for claims.

Insofar as our liability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of our employees, representatives and vicarious agents as well as of our Sponsor(s). We shall be liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, the breach of which endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract, or for the breach of obligations, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper performance of the competition and on the compliance with which the contracting parties regularly rely (so-called cardinal obligations). In this case, however, we shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical of the respective legal realtionship. We shall not be liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those specified in the preceding sentences. We shall be liable without limitation if the cause of the damage is based on intent or gross negligence. In the case of grossly negligent breach of duty by our vicarious agents, the aforementioned restrictions to the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations shall apply .

The above limitations of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health, in the event of a defect following the granting of quality guarantees for the quality of a product and in the event of fraudulently concealed defects. The liability according to the product liability law remains unaffected.

Legal Recourse: There is no legal recourse with regard to the drawing of the winners and any evaluation of the entries submitted in the competition.

 

9. Subscription to the Newsletter

We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications containing advertising information (hereinafter referred to as "newsletters") only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. Insofar as the contents of the newsletter are specifically described within the framework of registration, they are decisive for the consent of the user. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.

In order to subscribe to our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to enter your e-mail address. We may, however, ask you to provide a name for the purpose of contacting us personally in the newsletter or to provide further information if this is required for the purposes of the newsletter.

The registration to our newsletter takes place in general in a so-called Double-Opt-In procedure. This means that you will receive an e-mail after registration asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with external e-mail addresses.

The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes storing the login and confirmation times as well as the IP address. Likewise the changes of your data stored with the dispatch service provider are logged.

We may store the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before deleting them to provide evidence of prior consent. The processing of these data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual deletion request is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of a consent is confirmed at the same time. In the case of an obligation to permanently observe an objection, we reserve the right to store the e-mail address solely for this purpose in a blacklist.

The sending of the newsletter is based on the consent of the recipients or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing. Insofar as we engage a service provider for sending e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests. The registration procedure is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purpose of demonstrating that it has been conducted in accordance with the law.

Performance measurement: The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file, which is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a mailing service provider, from its server. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are first collected.

This information is used for the technical improvement of our newsletter on the basis of technical data or target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval points (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or access times. This analysis also includes determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. It is, however, neither our endeavour nor, if used, that of the shipping service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
