Users may only use this website if they agree with these Terms of Use. Any contradictory terms that may be found in the user’s own Terms & Conditions shall not apply under any circumstances unless the provider expressly recognises their validity in writing.
The provider reserves the right to change these Terms of Use with future effect whenever it chooses as well as to make changes to its content, services etc.

§2 Registration
Users, who are interested in the services and the range of information offered by the provider, can register on the website to receive further information. The data requested during the registration process must be complete and correct. In particular, all information marked as obligatory must be provided. Those registering are not permitted to use pseudonyms or similar such names nor may they enter email addresses which do not exist or which belong to another person.
Users shall be sent an email informing them that their registration was successful. Users do not have a legal right to register. The provider has the right to refuse to accept a user’s registration request whenever it wishes, without having to give a reason for its decision.
The provider reserves the right to delete user accounts within an appropriate period of time, if the registration information is incomplete.
The user may not allow third parties to access their account. The user agrees and acknowledges to keep their personal login information confidential and to protect it from third parties.
The provider hereby expressly declares that registering on this website shall not constitute the creation of a business relationship to deliver services or products. Such a business relationship must be concluded between the parties in writing in a separate contract. Registration is merely a first step and is solely to enable information to be exchanged so that an offer can be drawn up and to initiate a possible business relationship between the parties in the future. The provider shall not deliver any services to the user – in particular regarding the take back of waste electrical and electronic equipment and submitting reports to authorities and registers – before a separate contract has been concluded.
§3 Services delivered by the provider
Within the scope of these Terms of Use, the provider shall first enable the user to access a system in which the user can enter their data relating to the legal obligation of retailers to take back old electrical appliances in acc. with Section 17 of the ElektroG law. The provider needs this information so it can compile a bespoke offer for the user that meets their particular needs as well as to draw up a draft contract. If a future cooperation agreement is concluded between the parties, then the user’s data – and in particular their user account – may be used for further services and for other system areas. In such cases, all terms of use regarding these shall be regulated separately by the parties within the scope of their contractual relationship.
The provider assumes no liability for the accuracy, completeness, reliability, topicality or usefulness of the contents provided.
§4 Disclaimer
Users have no right to claim for damages except as stipulated below. This disclaimer shall also apply to the legal representatives and agents of the provider should the user assert such a claim against them.
The disclaimer in Paragraph 1 shall not apply to claims for damages relating to loss in life, physical injury and damage to health or to claims for damages relating to a breach of fundamental contractual obligations. Fundamental contractual obligations are obligations that must be provided in order to fulfil the contract. Moreover, the above disclaimer does not cover liability for damage resulting from a breach of duty on the part of the provider or its legal representatives or its agents caused by wilful intent or gross negligence.
