1. Conclusion of the contract

1.1 The product descriptions and price information provided by the supplier are binding. The customer can accept the supplier's offer to conclude a contract by submitting their order online after completing the individual order steps by clicking the "Order protection package" button. Clicking the button constitutes the customer's binding declaration of acceptance, upon receipt of which by the supplier the contract is concluded under these Terms and Conditions.

1.2 A prerequisite for placing an order is registration for the Protected Shops Portal, which – if not already done at an earlier time – can be done as part of the ordering process.

1.3 A protection package agreement applies exclusively to one commercial website (e.g., own online shop, Yatego, Amazon, or eBay presence). If the customer operates multiple commercial websites for which they wish to use the documents provided within the protection packages, they must register each commercial website separately. Accordingly, multiple protection package agreements will be concluded.

1.4 If the parties have agreed on special conditions, these generally do not apply to existing and future contractual relationships.

2. Services

2.1 Legal texts: The scope of services for each protection package type is described in the service description for the respective package on the provider's website at http://www.protectedshops.de. During the term of the protection package agreement, the provider will make legal texts ("documents") available to the customer for download and use in the registered online shop, depending on the agreed package. Documents are tailored based on customer input in the configurator. Updates are notified by email; documents are checked only against German law unless otherwise stated.

2.2 Protected Shops logo: Use permitted during the contract term only if documents are kept up to date and link to www.protectedshops.de is provided. No obligation to use the logo; the customer remains responsible for keeping documents current.

3. Granting of rights of use

Non-exclusive, non-transferable rights for the contract term to use documents only for the registered commercial site. No use beyond intended purpose: no commercial exploitation beyond contract, no edits (except marked fields), no disclosure to third parties unless necessary for customer contracts. Same applies to the logo under the conditions in 2.2.1.

4. Customer obligations

Customer is responsible for correct inputs in the configurator and for verifying documents. Customer must keep documents current; use of outdated documents is at the customer's own risk.

5. Contract duration

Indefinite term; either party may terminate with three months' notice to the end of a contract year, earliest after the minimum term (one year). Automatic renewal by one year absent timely termination. Extraordinary termination rights remain (e.g., non-payment, improper logo use, false registration data). After termination, no use of documents/logo; access to download area ends.

6. Liability

No legal advice is provided. For negligent breach of essential duties, liability is limited to foreseeable average damage at contract conclusion; otherwise limited to order value. Exclusions do not apply in cases of intent, gross negligence, fraud, injury to life/body/health, Product Liability Act, or guarantees.

7. Warranty

Provider indemnifies for justified third-party claims arising from contractual use of documents; covers necessary legal defense up to first instance. No indemnity if customer breached obligations in 4. Customer must promptly provide information needed for defense.

8. Further regulations

Otherwise, the regulations in section D apply.
