6. Requirements for use of the offer

To be able to use the offer and our other services, besides the other requirements specified in these GTC you must, in particular, fulfil / comply with the following conditions:

6.1. The offer is only directed at persons being adults at the moment of the conclusion of the contract / use of the services (whichever is earlier). If we have legitimate doubts that you are an adult, we have the right to request that you submit a certified copy of an identification document.

6.2. Use of the offer is only permissible for end-consumers (“consumers” in the meaning of Article 13 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch - BGB)). We therefore also do not conduct accounting for commercial purposes.

6.3. In order to use the offer you must fulfil certain minimum technical system requirements. You need a web browser with HTML5 support to be able to play back audio files. In particular, you should have a suitable online access that enables you to access the offer (a DSL broadband connection is recommended). The connection costs that arise from the use of the offer are not a part of the offer and you must therefore bear them yourself.

For that purpose, an e-mail address is required and a related password (access data) must be selected. The registration is completed when we confirm successful registration after checking the data provided.

The access data (e-mail address and password) must be carefully stored and protected against access by third parties, and it must not be passed on to any third parties. You are responsible for any careless handling of that data and any losses that may arise as a result.

Any reproduction, dissemination and/or other use of the material and/or our marks requires prior written consent.

8.2. Other statutory termination rights remain unaffected.

9. Liability of Pink Internet GmbH

9.1. We shall be liable without limitation insofar as the losses resulted from wilful misconduct or gross negligence. We shall also be liable for breaches of key obligations due to minor negligence, the violation of which jeopardises the achievement of the objective of the contract, or for breaches of obligations whose fulfilment makes it possible to correctly perform the contract at all and upon whose fulfilment you generally rely. However, in such a situation we shall only be liable for the losses foreseeable under a typical contract. We shall not be liable for breaches due to minor negligence of obligations other than those referred to in the above sentences.

9.2. The above limitations of liability do not apply in the event of loss of life or injury to the body or health, for defects after a guarantee has been provided for the quality/characteristics of the product or in the case of fraudulently concealed defects. The liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produktshaftungsgesetz) remains unaffected.

9.3. If our liability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of our employees and representatives, including directors, shareholders and vicarious agents.

10. Data protection

Besides the information set out in these GTC, the provisions of our privacy policy, which you can access at www.femtasy.com/privacy-policy apply.

11. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

11.1. The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply for all legal relationships between you and us, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If, at the time when you place your order, you have your habitual residence in another country, the applicability of mandatory legal regulations of that country shall remain unaffected by the choice of governing law specified in sentence 1.

11.2. Dispute resolution: The EU Commission has set up an Internet platform for online settlement of disputes. The platform serves as a point of contact for out-of-court settlement of disputes relating to contractual obligations that arise from online purchase contracts. You can find more detailed information via the following link: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Currently, we do not participate in such dispute resolution. If you have any questions or problems with your order, you can of course also contact us directly at support@femtasy.com.
