Adolescents over the age of 14 are only permitted to use a user account that has been created by their legal guardian under the name and using the data of the legal guardian, provided that the legal guardian gives their consent to the use. The parent or legal guardian is solely responsible for monitoring the use of his or her user account by the minor.
We reserve the right to make our consent to the setting up of a user account dependent on the presentation of appropriate proof.
(4)Should there be doubts as to the identity of a user, we are entitled to require presentation of appropriate proof of identity from a user for the personal information provided, in order to establish his/her identity and to prevent fraud. The presentation of proof of identity of third parties is expressly prohibited.

5.Fees and Payment Formalities, Executing and Aborting a Transaction
(1)Where a sales contract is concluded between users on our internet marketplace, we shall invoice the vendor for a brokerage fee the amount of which is determined by our price list in force at the time of conclusion of said contract. The brokerage fee is due for payment immediately.
(2)If XXXXX is required, due to country-specific tax regulations applicable to users, to withhold taxes that must be added to the purchase price, XXXXX will add these taxes to the purchase price and remit the tax amount to the respective tax authority.

(3)When executing the transaction and the transfer of title, we as the Merchant of Record shall contact the buyer with regard to the transaction process, shall assist the users and handle any disputes between them concerning the goods, without ourselves being a contracting partner to the sales contract concluded by and between the users.

After successful processing of the payment, the product ordered shall be made available to the buyer via the marketplace. The buyer’s bank account will be debited with reference to the vendor and to us. During the transaction our fee will be directly deducted from the purchase price paid by the buyer to the vendor.

(5)Users may only make payments using their own banking connections and payment methods. Payments may not be made by third parties.
(6)In case of doubts about the identity of a user, XXXXX shall be entitled to suspend a transaction, disbursement of the credit balance and transmission of the XXXXX until the identity of the relevant user has been determined.

In case of repeated or severe breaches, XXXXX shall be entitled to block the user temporarily or permanently. In selecting the measure, the legitimate interests of the user, the nature of the breach and the degree of fault shall be taken especially into account. If a user deceives us as to his/her identity, if payments are made by a third party contrary to these T&Cs of if a user abuses the option of reimbursement of a credit balance, then we shall be entitled to delete the relevant user account immediately.
(2)Users may terminate this Agreement on use of our internet marketplace at any time, we may terminate subject to observance of 14 days’ notice to the end of the month.
(3)Contracts already concluded shall remain unaffected by blocking, deletion or termination and shall be processed in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8.Limitation of Liability, Limitation Period
(1)Our non-contractual liability and liability for breaches of duty is limited to intent and gross negligence.
(2)Claims arising from the contractual relationship between XXXXX and the user shall become statute-barred after one year. The set period shall commence at the end of the year in which the claim arises and the creditor becomes aware, or in the absence of gross negligence should become aware, of the circumstances giving rise to the claim and the identity of the debtor.
(3)The limitations in paragraphs 1 and 2 do not apply to damage arising from injury to the life, body or health of the user that is caused by a negligent breach by XXXXX or by an intentional or negligent breach of duty by a statutory representative or vicarious agent of XXXXX, or to claims based on a breach of material contractual obligations. Material contractual obligations are obligations that enable proper performance of the contract in the first place, a breach of which jeopardizes achievement of the purpose of the contract. In this respect we are liable for any degree of fault. The curtailment of the limitation period does not apply to liability based on intent or gross negligence.
Further liability for damage of any kind is excluded. In particular, we are not liable for the usability of the contents posted by users.
9.Indemnification
The user shall indemnify us in accordance with the statutory provisions against all claims made by third parties against us on the basis of an infringement of their rights, claims arising as a result of the posting of contents by the user.
