the User terminates immediately if the User attempts to circumvent any technical
protection measures used in connection with the Platform. The Platform is being licensed
to the User and the User hereby acknowledges that no title or ownership in the Platform

for marketing purposes e.g. in blogs, social media or advertisements. To the extent other
users’ use of the Platform and the participation in games requires the use of such user
generated content and the use of Digital Goods, the User hereby grants all users of the
Platform a limited right to use the user generated content and the Digital Goods, including
the right to, copy, adapt, modify, display and make publicly the user generated Content
and the Digital Goods available without further notice or compensation. To the extent

the User trades Digital Goods created or modified by the User, the User grants the users
acquiring the Digital Good the right to modify, alter and change the Digital Good acquired
from the User in any way, and to display and publish such Digital Good including the
right to transfer the Digital Goods and all rights in the Digital Good granted by the User

right to use all available legal remedies against Users who engage in the above
prohibited conduct.

9. Infringement of terms and sanctions


9.1. Compliance with these Terms of Use is of considerable importance for the functionality
of the Platform. The Provider will therefore impose sanctions in accordance with this
section on a User if and to the extent that the Provider has reasonable grounds to believe
that a User is in breach of statutory provisions, the rights of third parties, and/or these
Terms of Use. In the event of serious personal attacks, insults, defamation and threats,
the Provider reserves the right to involve law enforcement authorities.

9.2. When choosing the sanction to be imposed, the Provider will consider the interests of
the User concerned and, among other things, whether there has been any misconduct
through no fault of our own or whether the infringement has been committed culpably.
The following measures and sanctions may be considered by the Provider depending on
the severity of the misconduct:
● issuing a warning to the User (as mildest remedy);
● partial and complete deletion of contents of a User;
● requesting proof of the authenticity of the respective profile owner;
● restriction on the use of Platform;
● temporary blocking of the user account;
● final blocking of a User and banning a User.

9.3. In the event of a culpable and serious breach of these Terms of Use, the Provider
reserves the right to assert claims for damages in the amount of the respective damage.

9.4. In extreme cases, the Provider reserves the right to change, suspend or terminate any
account, including any features, content or services, at any time and for any reason. The
Provider may also restrict the use of certain services, content or features and/or restrict
the User’s access to portions of the Platform without notice or liability.

10. Changes to the Platform


The Provider reserves the right to change the Platform and the functions contained
therein to improve the user experience on the Platform. For this purpose, the Provider
can remove individual functions from the Platform, add new functions or replace existing
functions with others.

11. Warranties and rights in case of defects


Unless the User is a resident of the European Union, the Platform is provided “as is”
without warranties of any kind, without limitation warranties relating to title or fitness for
a particular purpose and the Provider does not warrant that the Platform is error free or
does not contain any defects or that any defects will be corrected. For Users residing in
the European Union and for services made available under a subscription plan the
warranties apply as per applicable statutory law.

12. Limited on liability

12.1. The Provider does not assume any liability for the constant accessibility or availability of
the Platform and is not liable for downtimes due to necessary maintenance work or new
errors, as far as these were not foreseeable and can be reasonably expected from a
conscientious average developer.

12.2. An editorial review of the content posted by Users does not take place. The Provider
therefore accepts no liability for the accuracy, completeness and usability of the
information and content of Users or other third parties published on the Platform.

12.3. The Provider shall be liable for damages caused by an intentional or grossly negligent
breach of duty or malice on the part of the Provider, its legal representatives or its
vicarious agents. As far as the Provider is liable for a grossly negligent breach of duty
according to the foregoing sentence, the liability for damages is limited to the
foreseeable, typically occurring damages.

12.4. The Provider shall also be liable for damages caused by slight negligence, insofar as the
negligence relates to the breach of such essential contractual obligations, the fulfillment
of which enables the proper execution of this Agreement and on which the User may
regularly rely (cardinal obligations). In this case, however, the liability is limited to the
foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

12.5. Furthermore, the Provider shall be liable without limitation for damages to life, body and
health for which it is responsible, and which are based on a negligent or intentional
breach of duty. Furthermore, the Provider shall also be liable, insofar as it has given a
guarantee of quality with regard to the contractual services, within the scope of this
guarantee.
12.6. Any further contractual or statutory liability is excluded - unless it is mandatory by law,
regardless of the legal nature of the asserted claim.

12.7. Insofar as the liability of the Provider is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the
personal liability of its employees, representatives, and vicarious agents as well as to its
liability for their conduct.

12.8. If the Provider provides the Platform to the Licensee free of charge, the Provider shall
only be responsible for intent and gross negligence, unless the Provider fraudulently
conceals a legal defect or a defect in the Platform, in which case the Provider shall be
liable to compensate the User for any damage arising from this. The Provider does not
assume any further warranties or liabilities.

13. General Provisions

13.1. The Provider may amend these Terms of Use from time to time and will notify the User
of any changes by e-mail to the e-mail address associated provided by the User. The
Provider will request the User’s consent to the amendments in case of significant
changes, which affect the contractual relationship. Insignificant changes (e.g.
amendments required due to changes in law or case law relating to the protection of
minors, health protection, tax law etc. or that are necessary to correct contractual
imbalances in the relationship between the User and the Provider insofar as this is arising
after the initial conclusion of the subscription agreement or for the purpose of adapting
to changed legal or technical requirements) shall become part of the Terms of Use unless
the User objects to such amendment in writing or text form within four (4) weeks of receipt
of the notification of amendment. In case the User declares objection to the amendments
of the Terms of Use or denies consent to significant amendments, the Provider reserves
the right to terminate the subscription agreement. The Provider will inform the User
separately of the significance of this four-week period in the email containing the
amended the Terms of Use.

13.2. The User may not assign any of the rights or obligations granted under these Terms of
Use. The Provider may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations
hereunder.

13.3. Swiss law applies exclusively to any disputes arising out of or in connection with these
Terms of Use but excluding any renvoi and further excluding the UN Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If the User is a consumer, the User
shall benefit from any mandatory provision of the law of the country in which the User is
a resident. The choice of law shall therefore not apply, if this would have the result of
depriving the consumer of the protection afforded to him by provisions that cannot be
derogated from by agreement by virtue of the law which, in the absence of choice, would
have been applicable under local law.

13.4. Should any provision of these Terms of Use be or become void or ineffective in whole or
in part, this shall not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions. Any provisions
of these Terms of Use that are not included or are invalid shall be replaced by statutory
law.

13.5. The European Commission provides the Platform for online dispute resolution under the
following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. The email address of the Provider is
info@rennsport.gg. The Provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in alternative
dispute resolution before a consumer conflict tribunal.
