§22 Duration of contract

(1) The contractual relationship with the merchant underlying these terms of use is concluded for an indefinite period of time. It shall commence upon admission by the platform operator pursuant to § 3.

(2) The contractual relationship may be terminated by the platform operator as well as by the merchant at any time to the end of the month.

(3) Each party shall have the right to terminate the contractual relationship for good cause without notice. An important reason for the platform operator is in particular:

(a) the violation of a Merchant against the provisions of these Terms of Use, which is not remedied even after setting a deadline;

(b) the tortious act of a merchant or the attempt of such, e.g. fraud;

(c) the Merchant's default in payment by more than six weeks.

(d) ongoing operational disruptions due to force majeure beyond the control of the platform operator, such as natural disasters, fire, breakdown of line networks through no fault of the platform operator.

(4) Any termination must be made in writing. Terminations by fax or e-mail shall comply with the written form.

§ 23 Final Provisions

(1) The Merchant's general terms and conditions shall not apply, even if their inclusion has not been expressly objected to.

(2) Amendments, supplements and terminations of these General Terms and Conditions must be made in writing. Also a cancellation of this contract or an amendment of this written form clause require the written form. No ancillary agreements have been made.

(3) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you, as a consumer, had your domicile or usual place of residence in Germany when concluding a contract with us and have either moved out of Germany at the time we file an action or your domicile or usual place of residence is unknown at that time, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes shall be the registered office of our company in Berlin.

(4) The place of performance shall be the registered office of the platform operator if the merchant is an entrepreneur.

(5) The place of jurisdiction is the registered office of the merchant, provided that the merchant is an entrepreneur.

(6) We draw the attention of consumers within the meaning of § 1 (5) to the fact that, in addition to the ordinary legal process, you also have the option of out-of-court settlement of disputes in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 524/2013, details of which can be found in the Regulation (EU) No. 524/2013 and at the Internet address:https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Our e-mail address is: cheers@honest-rare.de. We point out in accordance with § 36 VSBG that we are not obliged to participate in an out-of-court dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.

(7) Should individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions be or become invalid and/or contradict the statutory provisions, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these General Terms and Conditions. The ineffective provision shall be replaced by the contracting parties by mutual agreement with a provision that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the ineffective provision in a legally effective manner. The above provision shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event of loopholes. The same shall apply in the event that any supplements to the agreement become necessary. § Section 139 of the German Civil Code shall not apply.
