The provider shall endeavour to offer the service for retrieval without interruption as far as possible. Even with all due care, downtimes cannot be ruled out in which the web server cannot be accessed via the Internet due to technical or other problems beyond the control of the provider (fault of third parties, force majeure, attacks against the infrastructure by hackers, etc.). The user acknowledges that 100% availability of the website is technically impossible. 6.
The provider reserves the right to change and expand the content and structure of the platform as well as the associated user interfaces if this does not or only insignificantly affect the fulfilment of the purpose of the contract concluded with the user.

time of the conclusion of the contract and typical for the contract,

material contractual obligations by him or one of his legal
representatives or vicarious agents. The Provider shall not be
liable in the event of a slightly negligent breach of ancillary
obligations that are not material contractual obligations. Liability
for damages that fall within the scope of protection of a guarantee
or warranty given by the provider as well as liability for claims
based on the Product Liability Act and damages from injury to life,
limb or health shall remain unaffected.
