Terms of use

This English version is for reading only. The German version is the binding one: Nutzungsbedingungen.

What applies when you use the platform: account, content, moderation, reporting procedure and complaints.

§ 1 What this is about and what these terms apply to

(1) PartABoat, sole proprietorship, proprietor Ekkehard Körbel, Am Würzgarten 12, 65375 Oestrich-Winkel, operates a platform on which private persons offer and find boats and co-ownership shares in boats; brokers can offer boats and shares of their private clients there (§ 4 (8)). These terms of use govern how you can use the platform and what applies in doing so.

(2) A user agreement for the provision of the platform is concluded between you and PartABoat as described in § 4 (2); these terms of use are its content.

(3) If you merely view the platform without registering, you do not conclude a contract with PartABoat. The procedures under §§ 10 and 11 are nevertheless open to you; they are based not on this contract but on the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). PartABoat also offers you the objection under § 12, voluntarily, as it does to everyone else.

(4) The relationship to the contract terms. If you instruct PartABoat to broker your boat or your share, you conclude a brokerage agreement with PartABoat; if you instruct PartABoat to accompany you in acquiring a share, you conclude a service agreement with PartABoat. You conclude each of these contracts in a separate ordering step in which its contract terms are shown to you before conclusion; a listing or an enquiry alone does not establish any of these contracts. To the extent that these contract terms deviate from the terms of use, they take precedence.

(5) PartABoat is not a contracting party to the purchase contract for the boat or the share. This contract is concluded between you and the other private person. If a broker offers the boat or the share, it is concluded between the buyers and the owner for whom the broker lists; the broker does not become the seller.

(6) Terms of yours that contradict these terms do not become part of the contract, even if PartABoat does not expressly object to them.

§ 2 Definitions

For the purposes of these terms:

1. a) Platform means the PartABoat website with all functions available to you there, including the listing search, the enquiry function and the account.
2. b) User means every person who accesses or uses the platform, with or without an account.
3. c) Account means the personal area, protected by access credentials, that you receive after registration.
4. d) Content means everything you post, transmit or store on the platform, in particular listings, texts, images, files and your enquiries to PartABoat.
5. e) Listing means the presentation of a boat or a co-ownership share that a party offering it posts on the platform.
6. f) Restriction means any measure by which PartABoat limits the display of content, removes or demotes content, suspends the use of individual functions or suspends or closes an account.

§ 3 What PartABoat provides to you

(1) Via the platform you can view, filter and save listings and send enquiries about a listing to PartABoat. If you offer a boat or a share, you can post, edit and delete listings; PartABoat publishes a listing as soon as it has been approved under § 9 (3).

(2) Using the platform and the account costs you no money. What the brokerage costs is set out in the respective contract terms and is shown to you before conclusion.

(3) The brokerage services themselves are not the subject of these terms. What PartABoat provides beyond this as an intermediary is set out in the brokerage agreement or in the service agreement, as soon as you have concluded one of them.

(4) PartABoat keeps the platform available. Short interruptions, for example for maintenance or because of faults at service providers, cannot always be avoided; your rights under § 6 (2) remain unaffected by this. PartABoat announces maintenance work that restricts use, to the extent that it can be planned.

§ 4 Registration, account and conclusion of the contract

(1) Anyone who is of full age, has unlimited legal capacity and uses the platform as a private person may register. Brokers can register under paragraph 8.

(2) By submitting the registration form you ask PartABoat for an account. PartABoat then sends you an email with a link; with it you receive these terms of use with the withdrawal instruction and the model withdrawal form in text form. This email is PartABoat’s offer to conclude the user agreement. If you click on the link, you accept it: the user agreement is concluded at that moment and your account is activated. PartABoat then confirms the conclusion of the contract to you by email with date and time. The notice on the website after submission only confirms receipt of your registration.

(3) Your details at registration must be correct and complete. If they change, you correct them in your account.

(4) Your access credentials are personal. You do not pass them on and you keep them in such a way that third parties cannot use them. If you suspect that someone else is using your account, you inform PartABoat without undue delay.

(5) There is one account per person.

(6) There is no entitlement to an account. If PartABoat establishes after the conclusion of the contract that the requirements of paragraph 1 or paragraph 8 are not met, PartABoat can terminate the user agreement under § 14 (3); § 14 (4) and (5) apply.

(7) How registration works technically. You fill in the registration form, tick the box consenting to these terms of use and click on “Register”. Until then you can view and change every entry in the form; the form shows you missing or invalid details before it is submitted. You then receive the email under paragraph 2 with the link; with your click on it the contract is concluded and you can sign in. PartABoat stores the version of these terms of use to which you consented; you receive it with the email under paragraph 2 and with the confirmation as a PDF, and on request PartABoat sends it to you again. You can find the version in force at any time under “Terms of use” in the footer. The contract is concluded in German. There are no codes of conduct to which PartABoat has submitted.

(8) If you list as a broker. If you broker boats commercially, you can register in order to offer boats and co-ownership shares of private owners who have instructed you to sell them. If you register for a company, the person filling in the form must be authorised to represent it. The following applies:

1. a) You offer a boat or a share only if its owner has instructed you to sell it, and you prove the instruction to PartABoat in text form on request.
2. b) You offer no boat and no share that belongs wholly or partly to you, and none that belongs to a trader, such as a charter company, a dealer or a shipyard.
3. c) You state in every listing that you are acting as a broker on behalf of the owner and that the owner is selling the boat or the share as a private person and not in the course of a commercial or self-employed professional activity. The listing then visibly carries the notice “On behalf of the client (private person)”.
4. d) You give PartABoat the name and place of residence of the owner before approval. PartABoat does not publish these details and checks the name under § 9 (4a). You inform the owner of this and of PartABoat’s privacy policy.
5. e) You do not demand any remuneration for the brokerage from prospective buyers who come to you via the platform; you agree your remuneration solely with the owner.
6. f) The owner concludes the purchase contract with the buyers; you do not become the seller.

§ 5 Your right of withdrawal

(1) You can withdraw from the user agreement within 14 days without giving reasons. The details are set out in the withdrawal instruction in Annex 1.

(2) If you withdraw, PartABoat ends your access to the platform and deletes your account as soon as it is no longer needed for the performance of a brokerage or service agreement; until then § 14 (6) sentence 3 applies accordingly. No payments are to be refunded for this contract, because you pay no money for using the platform, and you likewise owe no compensation for value for it. Content that you have posted or created and that is not personal data will be made available to you by PartABoat on request, free of charge, in a common, machine-readable format; for personal data the privacy policy applies.

(3) A separate right of withdrawal applies to each brokerage agreement or service agreement, about which you are instructed separately when it is concluded. What consequences a withdrawal from the user agreement has for such a contract is determined by the statutory provisions.

(4) Consumers have the right of withdrawal under this section and under Annex 1. If you use the platform as a broker under § 4 (8), you do not have it.

§ 6 Updates and your rights if something does not work

(1) PartABoat provides the platform during the term of the user agreement and keeps it in a condition conforming to the contract by means of updates, including security updates. PartABoat informs you in a suitable form, for example by a notice on the platform or by email, about an update that is necessary to maintain the condition conforming to the contract.

(2) If PartABoat does not provide the platform or if it is defective, you have the statutory rights. These terms do not restrict these rights and do not shorten any period; for claims for damages and for reimbursement of futile expenses § 15 applies.

(3) PartABoat can change the platform beyond what is necessary to maintain the condition conforming to the contract. This happens only if there is a valid reason for it, and without additional costs for you. Valid reasons are adaptation to a changed legal situation, the prevention of security risks, the discontinuation or replacement of a technology in use, the extension of the platform with new functions and the adaptation of existing functions to a substantially changed number of users or type of use. A change for one of the two last-mentioned reasons may neither remove nor substantially restrict the possibilities of viewing and filtering listings, sending enquiries about a listing to PartABoat and posting listings.

(4) PartABoat informs you clearly and comprehensibly about a change under paragraph 3. If it impairs your access to the platform or its usability more than merely insignificantly, PartABoat informs you within a reasonable period in advance on a durable medium, stating the characteristics of the change, its date and your rights. You can then end the user agreement free of charge within 30 days. The period begins on receipt of this information; if the change is made only afterwards, it begins with the change.

§ 7 What is and is not permitted on the platform

(1) You use the platform to offer or acquire a boat or a co-ownership share. It is not there for other purposes.

(2) It is not permitted

1. a) to post or disseminate unlawful content, in particular content that meets the elements of criminal offences, infringes the rights of third parties or violates statutory prohibitions;
2. b) to offer a boat or a share that you are not entitled to dispose of or that does not exist; as a broker you may offer a boat or a share if its owner has instructed you under § 4 (8);
3. c) to pretend to be acting as a private person although you are acting as a business, as a broker to offer a boat or a share that belongs to you or to a trader, or to give incorrect details about the owner, the boat, its condition, its equipment or the price;
4. d) to post images, texts or other content for which you do not hold the necessary rights;
5. e) to use the platform for advertising that has nothing to do with the boat or share offered, or to advertise boats, shares or brokerage services outside the platform in listings and enquiries;
6. f) to harass, threaten or disparage other users;
7. g) to read out or reproduce content of the platform by automated means, to send mass enquiries or to circumvent security precautions;
8. h) to spread malware or to disrupt the operation of the platform;
9. i) to advertise a boat or a share with statements about financial gain, increase in value, or hire or charter earnings, or to hold out the prospect of letting or chartering it to third parties;
10. j) to pass yourself off as another person, to create a further account or to use another person’s account;
11. k) to state in a listing telephone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses or other ways by which prospective buyers can reach you directly;
12. l) to offer anything other than a boat or a co-ownership share in a boat; you may mention accessories sold with the boat in the listing.

(3) If you breach paragraph 2 or 4, PartABoat can take the measures under § 9 (2). Which measure comes into consideration depends on the seriousness and repetition of the breach. For the blocking and closure of your account § 14 (3) to (5) applies in addition.

(4) Your listing may not contain any details about the health, origin, religious or political beliefs, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data or sex life of a person, including about yourself, and no details about other persons, such as names or recognisable faces in photos. PartABoat does not activate a listing with such details until they have been removed.

§ 8 Content you post

(1) The rights in your content remain with you. PartABoat acquires no ownership of it.

(2) You grant PartABoat the non-exclusive right to store and reproduce your content, to edit it to the extent that the presentation requires, and to make it publicly accessible on the platform. The right extends as far as the operation of the platform and the presentation of your listing require, and no further. It ends when the content is removed, at the latest with the end of the user agreement; if a brokerage agreement then continues to carry the listing (§ 14 (6)), it ends with that agreement. After that PartABoat may only store the content: in backup copies until their routine deletion and as evidence, to the extent that PartABoat is legally obliged to do so or needs the content for handling an objection or for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, in each case only for as long as this purpose requires. PartABoat does not make your enquiries publicly accessible. The grant is free of charge.

(3) You post only content for which you hold the necessary rights, in particular in images.

(4) If a third party makes a claim against PartABoat because of content you have posted, and you caused the infringement intentionally or negligently, you indemnify PartABoat against the justified claims of the third party. PartABoat informs you of the claim without undue delay and gives you the opportunity to comment. PartABoat does not acknowledge the claim or conclude a settlement on it without hearing you first. Your duty to indemnify is reduced to the extent that fault on the part of PartABoat contributed to the infringement, for example because PartABoat did not block content without undue delay after being notified of the infringement. Further statutory claims remain unaffected.

(5) Joint responsibility for the data in the listing. You and PartABoat are jointly responsible (Article 26 of the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR) for the personal data you include in your listing, to the extent that the listing is published on the platform. You ensure that you are permitted to include the details. PartABoat checks every listing before activation for details under § 7 (4) and does not activate it with such details. PartABoat gives the information under Articles 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation in its privacy policy. The point of contact for data subjects is PartABoat; if such a request reaches you, you forward it to PartABoat without undue delay. Data subjects can assert their rights against you and against PartABoat (Article 26(3) of the General Data Protection Regulation). The essence of this arrangement is set out in the privacy policy.

§ 9 How PartABoat moderates

(1) The principle. PartABoat looks at every new and every edited listing before approval (paragraph 3). Beyond that, PartABoat does not generally search the posted content and is not obliged to do so; it acts when a report under § 10 is received, when an authority issues an order, when PartABoat has specific indications of a breach from another cause, or when the check under paragraph 4a produces a match.

(2) The measures. PartABoat can, depending on the seriousness of the breach,

1. a) point out the breach to you and call on you to remedy it,
2. b) remove content or block access to it,
3. c) suspend the use of individual functions,
4. d) suspend or close your account.

The decision not to activate a new listing or the edited version of an approved listing under paragraph 3 is also a measure in this sense.

(3) How decisions are made. A human being decides on every measure under paragraph 2. PartABoat uses no tools that automatically examine content for breaches, with the exception of the check under paragraph 4a, and takes no decision by automated means. A new listing does not become visible immediately: it appears only once PartABoat has looked at it and approved it. The same applies if you edit an approved listing: it is not visible until it has been approved again. This applies equally to every edit and is not yet a decision about your content. On approval, PartABoat checks whether the listing breaches § 7 and whether there are indications that you do not meet the requirements under § 4 (1) or, as a broker, under § 4 (8), and it does so on the basis of what can be seen from the listing itself; in addition there is the check under paragraph 4a. PartABoat does not compare any detail with reality and does not verify the boat or its condition, its equipment or its price; if PartABoat reproduces a detail incorrectly, it is liable under § 15. The party offering the boat or share is responsible for the details.

(4) Two automatic limits that have nothing to do with the content. So that the platform remains usable, the software limits how many listings you can post in a short time and how many enquiries you can send in a short time, and it removes technical formatting commands from your entries. Neither looks at your content or assesses it. PartABoat tells you the applicable limits on request.

(4a) The check against the sanctions lists. Before PartABoat activates a listing, and then once a month for as long as a listing of yours is online or a brokerage or service agreement with you is running, PartABoat checks your name against the sanctions lists of the European Union and, if you list as a broker, also the name of the owner. A program also searches for similar spellings and displays possible matches; a human being decides whether you are the person meant. Until this has been clarified, PartABoat does not activate the listing; this too is a measure under paragraph 2, and you receive a statement of reasons for it under § 11. If you are on a sanctions list, PartABoat does not activate the listing or takes it offline; this is a measure under paragraph 2, and § 14 (4) sentence 3 applies to it and to your account. If the owner for whom you list as a broker is on such a list, PartABoat does not activate this listing or takes it offline; this too is a measure under paragraph 2.

(5) The standard. PartABoat applies the restrictions in these terms carefully, objectively and proportionately and in doing so takes into account the rights and legitimate interests of all those involved, in particular the right to freedom of expression.

(6) Every measure under paragraph 2 is justified to you under § 11, and you can object to it under § 12.

§ 10 If you want to report unlawful content

(1) Any person can report to PartABoat that there is content on the platform that they consider unlawful. The report can be made electronically, via the “Report content” button on every listing and via the contact point under § 13.

(2) So that PartABoat can process the report, it should contain:

1. a) a statement of why you consider the content unlawful,
2. b) the exact indication of where the content can be found, in particular the address of the page,
3. c) your name and your email address,
4. d) your statement that you are convinced to the best of your knowledge that your details are correct and complete.

You do not have to give your name and your email address; without them, however, PartABoat can neither confirm receipt to you nor notify you of the decision. If your report concerns a criminal offence against the sexual self-determination of children and young people, PartABoat does not ask for name and email address. PartABoat also processes a report that lacks one of the details.

(3) If the report contains an electronic contact detail, PartABoat confirms receipt to you without undue delay.

(4) PartABoat processes every report and decides on it in a timely, careful, non-arbitrary and objective manner. PartABoat notifies you of the decision and in doing so informs you of the remedies available to you against it. If automated means are used for the processing or for the decision, PartABoat says so in the notification.

(5) If PartABoat becomes aware of information giving rise to a suspicion that a criminal offence involving a threat to the life or safety of a person has been committed, is being committed or might be committed, PartABoat informs the competent authorities of this suspicion without undue delay.

§ 11 If PartABoat imposes a restriction

(1) If PartABoat removes any of your content, does not activate a new listing or the edited version of an approved listing, blocks or demotes content, suspends the use of functions or suspends or closes your account because the content is unlawful or breaches these terms, you receive a clear and specific statement of reasons for it, at the latest with the measure.

(2) The statement of reasons states:

1. a) what measure was taken, where it applies territorially and for how long,
2. b) the facts and circumstances on which the decision is based, and whether it goes back to a report or to PartABoat’s own review,
3. c) whether automated means were used,
4. d) in the case of unlawful content, the legal basis and the explanation of why the content is unlawful under it,
5. e) in the case of a breach of these terms, the clause concerned and the explanation of why the content breaches it,
6. f) what remedies you have, in particular the objection under § 12 and the route to the courts.

(3) Paragraph 1 does not apply if PartABoat does not know your electronic contact details, and not in the case of misleading high-volume commercial content.

§ 12 If you disagree with a decision

(1) You can lodge an objection with PartABoat against every restriction under § 11 and against every decision on a report under § 10. The objection is free of charge, can be made electronically and must be lodged within six months after you have received the statement of reasons under § 11 or the notification of the decision under § 10 (4).

(2) PartABoat reviews the decision completely anew and is not bound by the original assessment.

(3) PartABoat decides without undue delay, notifies you of the decision in text form and gives reasons for it. If the objection is well founded, PartABoat changes its decision: it lifts a measure or takes the measure that the report rightly demanded.

(4) The route to the courts is open to you independently of this; the objection is not a prerequisite for it.

(5) Under Article 19(1) of the Digital Services Act, PartABoat is not obliged to maintain an internal complaint management system under Article 20 of that Regulation. PartABoat offers the procedure under this section voluntarily. Statutory rights, in particular the route to the courts, remain unaffected.

§ 13 Contact points

(1) For users, PartABoat maintains a contact point through which you can communicate directly and rapidly with PartABoat. You have the choice: by email to dsa-nutzer@partaboat.com or by telephone on +49 179 4653016. Communication does not rely solely on automated means; there is a person behind both routes.

(2) For the authorities of the Member States, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services, PartABoat maintains a contact point: dsa-behoerden@partaboat.com.

(3) Communication with both contact points is possible in German and in English.

(4) PartABoat’s address and the further mandatory details are set out in the legal notice.

§ 14 Blocking and termination of the account

(1) You can terminate the user agreement at any time and without notice and delete your account.

(2) PartABoat can terminate the user agreement with four weeks’ notice in text form. PartABoat does not use this right to respond to a breach of these terms or to unlawful content; for that, only paragraphs 3 to 5 and §§ 9, 11 and 12 apply. PartABoat tells you the reason for a termination on request. Paragraph 6 remains unaffected.

(3) The right of both sides to terminate for good cause remains unaffected. Good cause for PartABoat exists in particular if you seriously or repeatedly breach § 7, if you knowingly gave false details about yourself at registration, for example a false name, or registered although you knew that you do not meet the requirements under § 4 (1), if as a broker you seriously or repeatedly breach § 4 (8), or if you use the platform to harm other users.

(4) Before a blocking or closure of your account, PartABoat informs you of the intended measure and its reason and gives you the opportunity to comment and, to the extent that this is possible given the nature of the breach, to remedy it; PartABoat then decides anew. Without a prior hearing, PartABoat can only block the account provisionally, if there is an urgent suspicion of fraud, of the spreading of malware or of a danger to other users, or if an authority orders it; in this case PartABoat makes up for the hearing without undue delay and then decides anew. By way of derogation from sentences 1 and 2, PartABoat blocks your account without a prior hearing and terminates the user agreement for good cause if it is established that you are on a sanctions list of the European Union; you receive the statement of reasons under § 11, by way of derogation from paragraph 5, § 9 (6) and § 11 (1), only to the extent that the law permits, and paragraph 6 sentence 3 does not apply to the extent that sanctions law precludes it.

(5) Every blocking and every closure of your account under paragraphs 3 and 4 is justified to you under § 11, and you can object to it under § 12. §§ 11 and 12 do not apply to an ordinary termination under paragraph 2; if the termination is in fact based on a breach of these terms or on unlawful content, they apply.

(6) What termination and blocking do not end. A brokerage agreement or service agreement that has already been concluded remains in place. The respective contract terms apply to its termination. Even after a termination and during a blocking, PartABoat provides you, for the duration of these contracts, with access to the functions necessary for their performance.

(7) What happens to your data after termination is set out in the privacy policy. If the user agreement ends, PartABoat takes your listings offline on the same day, unless they are needed for a running brokerage agreement under paragraph 6.

§ 15 Liability for operating the platform

(1) PartABoat has unlimited liability for damage resulting from injury to life, body or health and for damage based on intent or gross negligence on the part of PartABoat, of legal representatives or of vicarious agents of PartABoat.

(2) In all other cases, PartABoat is liable for slight negligence only for the breach of a duty whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of this contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely, and in this case limited in amount to the damage typical of the contract and foreseeable at the time of its conclusion.

(3) PartABoat is not a party to the contracts that users conclude among themselves and owes neither that such a contract comes about nor that it is performed. PartABoat does not adopt content posted by other users as its own; it is liable for such content only under the statutory provisions and within the scope of paragraphs 1 and 2.

(4) Liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), under Article 82 of the General Data Protection Regulation and under an expressly assumed guarantee remains unaffected. § 6 (2) applies to your rights in the event of defects.

§ 16 Data protection

How PartABoat processes your data is set out in the privacy policy. For each processing operation it states the purpose, the legal basis, the recipients and the storage period.

§ 17 Changes to these terms of use

(1) PartABoat can propose changes to these terms of use to you if there is an objective reason for doing so, for example a change in the legal situation, a decision of the courts or of an authority, a new or changed function of the platform or a security requirement. The reasons mentioned explain when PartABoat proposes a change; it takes effect only under paragraph 3.

(2) PartABoat sends you a proposed change in text form at least four weeks before the intended effective date. The proposal contains the new version, highlights the changes from the previous version and states the consequences if you do not consent.

(3) The change takes effect for you only if you expressly consent to it, and not before the date stated in the proposal. Silence does not count as consent. If you do not consent, the previous version continues to apply to you. In this case PartABoat can terminate the user agreement under § 14 (2); your refusal does not of itself lead to a termination.

(4) If the platform is also to be changed along with the change, § 6 (3) and (4) applies to this in addition.

(5) For a brokerage agreement or service agreement that has already been concluded, the version of the respective contract terms that was incorporated at its conclusion applies. A change to these terms of use does not change its terms; for the use of the platform, the version of these terms of use to which you consented applies also during its term.

§ 18 Consumer dispute resolution

(1) PartABoat does not take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board and is not obliged to do so.

(2) If a dispute arising from this contract between you and PartABoat cannot be settled, PartABoat refers you in text form to the competent consumer arbitration board and states again whether PartABoat will take part in proceedings before that board.

§ 19 Final provisions

(1) Applicable law. German law applies. If you have your habitual residence in another state, the mandatory provisions of the law of that state, from which it is not possible to deviate by agreement, remain unaffected by this choice of law.

(2) Place of jurisdiction. For actions against you, the court of your place of residence has jurisdiction; for actions against PartABoat you can choose between the court at PartABoat’s seat and the court of your place of residence.

(3) Notices. You can make declarations under these terms, for example a termination, in text form, for example by email. Annex 1 applies to withdrawal, § 10 to reports, and you can also reach the contact point under § 13 by telephone. PartABoat writes to you in text form at the email address you last gave in your account; a notice from PartABoat takes effect on its receipt by you. Your statutory right of withdrawal is neither excluded nor restricted by these terms.

(4) Partial invalidity. Should a provision of these terms be invalid, the remaining provisions remain valid. The statutory provisions take the place of the invalid provision.

Annex 1: Withdrawal instruction and model withdrawal form for the user agreement

Withdrawal instruction

Right of withdrawal. You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us, PartABoat, proprietor Ekkehard Körbel, Am Würzgarten 12, 65375 Oestrich-Winkel, telephone +49 179 4653016, ek@partaboat.com, of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear statement, for example a letter sent by post or an email. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this, but it is not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online at partaboat.com/en/withdraw; the button “Withdraw from a contract” in the footer of every page of our website also leads there. If you use this online function, we send you, on a durable medium, for example by email, without undue delay a confirmation of receipt with information on the content of the declaration of withdrawal and the date and time of its receipt.

To meet the withdrawal period, it is sufficient for you to send the communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Consequences of withdrawal. If you withdraw from this contract, neither of us is bound by it any longer. No payments are to be refunded for this contract, because the use of the platform is free of charge for you, and you likewise owe no compensation for value for it. Content that you have posted or created on the platform and that is not personal data will be made available to you by us on request, free of charge, in a common, machine-readable format. Which personal data we continue to store after the withdrawal, and for what reason, is set out in our privacy policy.

A separate right of withdrawal applies to a brokerage agreement or service agreement that you have concluded separately, about which you are instructed separately when it is concluded.
