  12. Warranty and liability

We shall not be liable for indirect damage, loss of profit, loss of interest, failure to make savings, consequential and pecuniary damage and damage arising from third-party claims.

  14. Offers from other companies, references and links

    The Platform may contain offers and services of other companies as well as links to external websites, for the contents of which, however, we assume no responsibility or liability. Links to such third-party services do not constitute a recommendation of these services by us. We will mark such offers and services accordingly and will not present them as our own offers or services.

    3. Should any provision of the Terms be or become invalid or should the Terms be incomplete, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Terms. The invalid provision shall be replaced by an enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
    4. The Terms and all rights and obligations of the Parties arising out of or in connection with the Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Austrian law excluding the conflict of law rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
