3. Availability
The Provider strives to provide the App with as few interruptions as possible.

This content is generated fully automatically.
The Provider assumes no warranty for the:

This applies in particular to:

The Provider is liable without limitation for damages resulting from intent or gross negligence.

Liability for slightly negligent breaches of non-essential contractual obligations is excluded.
The aforementioned limitations of liability do not apply:

- To claims under the Product Liability Act,
- Insofar as liability is mandatory by law.
11. Changes to the App
The Provider is entitled to further develop, adapt, or change or discontinue individual functions of the App at any time.
This does not give rise to any claims for damages on the part of the user, provided mandatory statutory provisions do not dictate otherwise.
12. Data Protection
Information on the processing of personal data can be found in the separate privacy policy.
13. Applicable Law
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence.
14. Final Provisions
Should individual provisions of these Terms of Use be or become invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
The invalid provision shall be replaced by the statutory provisions.
