1.1 These Terms of Use apply to the use of the online portal (hereinafter referred to as "TROVELLI") made available by Angelika Kipp, Ainmillerstrasse 9, 80801 Munich, sole trader, (hereinafter referred to as "operator") on the internet address www.trovelli.com (hereinafter referred to as “TROVELLI”) including the application software contained therein. The inclusion of the user's own conditions is hereby contradicted, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 For the purposes of these Terms of Use, "user" is the generic term for registered users and guests. Users can be both consumers and traders.
1.2.1 Registered users have the option of reading access to TROVELLI and of using certain technical functions.
1.2.2 Guests within the meaning of these Terms of Use are users who have read-only access to those parts of TROVELLI that do not require registration.
1.2.3 For the purposes of these Terms of Use, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes which cannot predominantly be attributed to his commercial or self-employed professional activity.
1.2.4 A trader within the meaning of these Terms of Use is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or self-employed professional activity.

2. Services Provided by the Operator
2.1 With TROVELLI, the operator provides an online portal that gives users the means to set and/or retrieve user profiles applying the application software provided by the operator, as well as contact other users of the portal. Company profiles can only be created by providers. The operator reserves the right to prescribe certain quality criteria for company profiles and to refuse to establish a company profile if these criteria are not met by the provider. Providers can choose between different service packages. The exact scope of services results from the service description for the respective service package of the operator.
2.2 Contracts for the goods and/or services described on TROVELLI may be concluded directly between users via TROVELLI if the provider operates an online shop with TROVELLI. In some cases, however, TROVELLI may be merely used to establish contacts and select potential contractual partners among users. In such cases, the actual contract is not concluded directly via TROVELLI but through individual communication among users outside TROVELLI. Under no circumstances, the operator himself shall become a contractual partner of contracts concluded by users. The execution of contracts concluded by users exclusively takes place on an inter-user basis. Furthermore, the operator does not guarantee that a contract will in fact be concluded by users.
2.3 For the use of TROVELLI, the operator allows the user access to his website and provides him with suitable software which remains on the operator's server. The scope of functions and the technical specifications of the software are described in more detail in the service description on the operator’s website. The operator is not responsible for establishing and maintaining the data connection between the user's IT system and the operator's server.
2.4 TROVELLI is offered subject to availability. An availability to 100 percent cannot be realized technically and can therefore not be guaranteed to the user by the operator. However, the operator endeavors to keep the service available as constantly as possible. In particular, maintenance, safety or capacity problems as well as events beyond the operator's control (disturbances of public communication networks, power failures, etc.) can lead to malfunctions or temporary shutdown of the service. The operator will carry out maintenance work in times of low use, to the extent possible.
2.5 The software for operating TROVELLI shall be updated by the operator at irregular intervals. Accordingly, the user only has a right to use the software in its current version. The user has no claim to a certain state of the software.
3. Changes in Services
3.1 The operator reserves the right to change the offered services or to offer different services unless this is unreasonable for the user.
3.2 Furthermore, the operator reserves the right to change the services offered or to offer different services,
insofar as he is obliged to do so due to a change in the legal situation;
in so far as it complies with a court ruling against himself or a decision of the authorities;
as far as the respective change is necessary to close existing security gaps;
if the change is merely beneficial to the user; or
if the change is of a purely technical or procedural nature and has no significant impact on the user.
3.3 Changes which only have an insignificant impact on TROVELLI's functions do not constitute changes to services within the meaning of this section. This applies in particular to changes of a purely graphical nature and the mere modification of the arrangement of functions.
4. Right of Use
4.1 Natural persons, legal entities and partnerships are entitled to use TROVELLI. Natural persons with limited legal capacity (in particular minors) may only use TROVELLI with the consent of their legal representatives.

5.2 After entering his data in the online form provided for this purpose, the user can register by clicking on the button that concludes the registration process. By sending the registration data, the user offers to conclude a contract the operator can accept but does not have to accept. The operator can accept the user’s offer within five days after receipt of the request by an electronically (e-mail) transmitted order confirmation or by sending a link for activation of the user account by e-mail. If the operator does not accept the contractual offer of the user within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed to be a rejection of the offer.

In this respect, the relevant legal provisions apply to the respective contractual relationship between the users. Apart from that, the operator shall be liable to the user for any contractual and quasi-contractual claims and for claims of liability in tort regarding damages and effort compensation as follows:
12.1 The operator shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason
in case of intent or gross negligence,
in case of injuries of life, body or health resulting from intent or negligence,
in case of a promise of guarantee, unless otherwise provided,
in case of liability resulting from mandatory statutory provisions such as the product-liability-law.
12.2 If the operator negligently violates an essential contractual obligation, the liability to pay damages shall be limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage, unless unlimited liability applies pursuant to the aforementioned section. Essential significant contractual obligations are obligations the contract imposes on the operator according to its content to meet the purpose of the
contract and whose fulfillment is essential for the due and proper implementation of the contract and on the fulfillment of which the user can regularly rely.
12.3 For the rest the operator’s liability is excluded.
12.4 The aforementioned provisions on liability apply also for the operator's liability regarding his legal representatives and vicarious agents.
13 Duration, Termination
13.1 If the user acts as guest or customer, the user contract is concluded for an indefinite period and can be terminated by the user at any time without notice and by the operator with a notice period of two weeks.
13.2 If the user acts as provider, the user contract is concluded for an indefinite period, at least however for the duration of 12 months (minimum term) and can be terminated by both parties with a notice period of three months to the end of the minimum term. If the contract is not terminated in due time, it is extended continuously for a further 12 months and can be terminated by the parties with a notice period of three months to the end of the respective term.
13.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing clause, the user contract with providers is concluded within the framework of a test phase in accordance with section 10.3 for the duration specified in the respective service description and ends automatically upon expiry of the agreed term, without the need for termination.
13.4 The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. An important reason exists if the terminating party cannot reasonably be expected to continue the contractual relationship until the agreed termination or until the expiry of a period of notice, taking into account all circumstances of the individual case and weighing the interests of both parties.
In particular, an important reason is given:
in case of a significant breach of essential provisions of these Terms of Use, which is not remedied, or which is repeated even after setting a deadline making the continuation of the contractual relationship impossible or unreasonable;
in case of re-registration during an ongoing blocking of access;
if the user is in arrears with payment of the fee or a substantial part of the fee for two consecutive dates in case of a fee-based use of TROVELLI;
if the user generally stops payments in case of a fee-based use of TROVELLI;
if, in case of a fee-based use of TROVELLI, enforcement proceedings have been initiated against the total or a substantial part of the other party's assets or if there are grounds for opening insolvency proceedings against the other party or if such proceedings have been
rejected for lack of assets or if insolvency proceedings have been filed against the other party or an affidavit has been given by the other party in respect of his assets.
13.5 In the event of a justified extraordinary termination of the user contract by the operator, the user is not entitled to create a new user account with TROVELLI.
13.6 Notice of termination may be given in writing, in text form (e.g. e-mail) or on the part of the user by deleting his user account with TROVELLI.
13.7 If the user contract is terminated, the user loses access to his user account upon termination of the contract. Upon termination of the user contract, the operator's obligation to store and publish posted data also expires.
14. Changes to the Terms of Use
14.1 The operator reserves the right to change these Terms of Use at any time without giving reasons unless this is unreasonable for the user. The operator will inform the user about changes of the Terms of Use in time in text form. If the user does not object to the validity of the new Terms of Use within a period of four weeks after notification, the amended terms of use shall be deemed accepted by the user. The operator will inform the user of his right of objection and the significance of the objection period. If the user objects to the changes within the aforementioned period, the contractual relationship continues to exist under the original conditions.
14.2 Furthermore, the operator reserves the right to change these Terms of Use,
insofar as he is obliged to do so due to a change in the legal situation;
in so far as he complies with a court ruling against himself or a decision of the authorities;
if he introduces additional, completely new services, services or service elements which require a new service description in the Terms of Use unless the present user relationship is adversely affected;
if the change is merely beneficial to the user; or
if the change is of purely technical or procedural nature unless it has significant consequences for the user.
14.3 The user's right to terminate the contract in accordance with section 13 remains unaffected.
15. Applicable Law
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to all legal relationships between the parties. For consumers, this choice of law only applies to the extent that the granted protection is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country, in which the consumer has his habitual residence.
16. Jurisdiction
If the user is a businessman, a legal entity of public law or a separate estate under public law with its seat in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the operator’s place of business shall be the sole place of jurisdiction for all legal disputes arising from this contract. If the user is domiciled outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the operator’s place of business shall be the sole place of jurisdiction for all legal disputes arising from this contract provided that the contract or claims from the contract can be assigned to the user's professional or commercial activities. In any event however, regarding the aforementioned cases the operator is entitled to seize the court at the residence of the user.
17. Alternative Dispute Resolution
17.1 The EU Commission provides on its website the following link to the ODR platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
This platform shall be a point of entry for out-of-court resolutions of disputes arising from online sales and service contracts concluded between consumers and traders.
17.2 The operator is neither obliged nor prepared to attend a dispute settlement procedure before an alternative dispute resolution entity.
