General information

It should be noted that individual provisions of these GTC may only be relevant for certain categories of users, for example only for consumers or only for users who are not acting as consumers. Any such restrictions of the scope of application shall be expressly indicated in each clause concerned. If no such reference is made, the clause shall apply to all users.

Contents

Unless otherwise stated or clearly recognisable, all content available via The Cocktailmaker is the property of the provider and is provided by the provider or its licensors.

The provider makes every effort to ensure that the content made available via The Cocktailmaker does not violate applicable laws or the rights of third parties. However, it is not always possible to achieve this result.

In such cases, users are requested to address their complaint preferably to the contact details provided in this document. The right to enforce any claims (out of) court remains unaffected by this.

Rights to the content available via The Cocktailmaker

All rights to the content are reserved by the provider.

Users may only use the content to the extent that this is necessary or - even implicitly - intended for the proper utilisation of the service.

In particular, users are not permitted to reproduce, download, distribute beyond the limits defined below, edit, translate, modify, redesign, publish, transfer to third parties, sell or licence the content, or enable third parties - even without the user's knowledge - to carry out the aforementioned actions via their own device.

Where expressly indicated via The Cocktailmaker, the User may download, reproduce and/or distribute selected content available via The Cocktailmaker for personal and non-commercial purposes only, provided that the copyright notices and any other notices required by the Provider are affixed correctly.

Legal restrictions or exceptions remain unaffected by this.

External resources

Users may be able to access external resources provided by third parties via The Cocktailmaker. Users recognise and accept that the Provider has no control over such resources and is therefore not responsible for their content and availability.

The conditions under which such resources provided by third parties are available and under which rights of use to such content are granted, if applicable, result from the contractual provisions of each third party or, alternatively, from the applicable statutory provisions.

Authorised use

The Cocktailmaker and the Service may only be used as intended and in accordance with these GTC and the applicable statutory provisions.

Users are responsible for ensuring that their access to The Cocktailmaker and/or their use of the Service does not violate any laws, regulations or third-party rights.

Therefore, the Provider reserves the right to take all appropriate measures to protect its legitimate interests, such as denying Users access to The Cocktailmaker or the Service, cancelling contracts, reporting to the competent authorities - such as judicial or administrative authorities - any objectionable conduct taking place through The Cocktailmaker or the Service, if Users can prove or are suspected of having committed such conduct:

  • violate statutory provisions, regulations or these GTC; or
  • infringe the rights of third parties; or
  • significantly impair the legitimate interests of the provider; or
  • insult the provider or a third party.

Liability and compensation

Unless expressly stated otherwise or agreed with the users, the provider's liability for damages in connection with the performance of the contract is excluded, limited and/or restricted to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Compensation

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Provider and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners and employees from any third party claims or demands, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and costs, which are asserted on the basis of or in connection with a culpable violation of these GTC, third-party rights or statutory provisions in connection with the use of the Service by the User or its agents, officers, directors, representatives, co-branders, partners and employees.

Limitation of liability

Unless expressly stated otherwise and without prejudice to the applicable statutory provisions, users have no right to claim damages from the provider (or any natural or legal person acting on its behalf).

This does not apply to damage to life, health or physical integrity or damage due to the breach of a material contractual obligation, such as an obligation absolutely necessary to achieve the purpose of the contract and/or damage due to intent or gross negligence, provided that The Cocktailmaker has been used properly and correctly by the user.

Unless damages were caused intentionally or by gross negligence or affect life, health or physical integrity, the provider is only liable for the amount of damages typical and foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract.

In particular, the provider is not liable within the aforementioned limits for:

  • any losses, unless these are the direct result of a breach of the GTC by the provider;
  • any loss of business opportunities and any other loss, even indirect, that the user may suffer (such as loss of trade, loss of revenue, loss of income, profits or anticipated savings, loss of contracts or business relationships, loss of reputation or goodwill, etc.);
  • Damages or losses resulting from interruptions or malfunctions of the Service (The Cocktailmaker), if such interruptions or malfunctions are due to force majeure or unforeseen and unforeseeable events and are independent of the will and beyond the control of the Provider, such as, but not limited to, but not limited to, failures or interruptions of telephone or power lines, the Internet and/or other means of transmission, unavailability of websites, strikes, natural disasters, viruses and cyber-attacks, interruptions in the supply of third party products, services or applications;

 

Users in Australia

Limitation of liability

Warranty rights, conditions, guarantees, rights and remedies to which users are entitled under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) remain completely unaffected by the provisions of these GTC. The same applies to any similar mandatory national or territorial laws that confer inalienable rights on users. To the extent permitted by law, our liability to users - including liability for breach of an unwaivable right and any other liability not excluded by these GTC - shall be limited, at the Provider's reasonable discretion, to subsequent fulfilment or reimbursement of the costs incurred for the renewed provision of the services.

Warranty disclaimer

The Cocktailmaker is provided and made available on an "as is" and "as available" basis only. Use of the service is at your own risk. The provider expressly disclaims all conditions, representations and warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement to the extent permitted by law. Any advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by the User from the Provider or through the Service shall not create any warranties unless expressly stated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider, its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees do not warrant that the Content will be reliable, accurate or correct; that the Service will meet users' expectations; that the Service will be uninterrupted or reliably available at any particular time or location; that any defects or errors will be corrected; or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. Any content downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the Service is downloaded at your own risk. Users are solely responsible for any damage to the User's computer system or mobile device or loss of data that results from such download or use of the Service by the User.

The Provider does not warrant or assume any responsibility for any products or services advertised or offered by third parties through the Service or any hyperlinked website or service, nor does it endorse such products or services. Transactions between users and third party providers of products or services are neither brokered nor monitored by the Provider.

The service may become inaccessible or not function properly with the user's web browser, mobile device and/or operating system. The provider cannot be held liable for any perceived or actual damage resulting from the content, operation or use of this service.

Federal law, some states and other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties. The above exclusions may not apply to Users. This Agreement gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The exclusions and limitations of liability under the Agreement are, to the extent prohibited by applicable law, ineffective.

Limitation of liability
  • To the extent permitted by law, in no event shall the Provider and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees be liable for

  • any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses arising in connection with the Service or its unavailability; and

  • any damage or loss resulting from hacking, tampering or other unauthorised access or use of the Service or the User Account and the information contained therein;
  • any errors, mistakes or inaccuracies in content;
  • personal injury or property damage of any kind arising from access to or use of the service by the user;
  • any unauthorised access to the provider's backup servers and/or the personal information stored therein;
  • any interruption or cessation of transmission to or through the Service;
  • any bugs, viruses, Trojans or similar that may be transmitted to or through the service;
  • any errors or omissions in the Content or for any loss or damage arising from the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Service; and/or
  • the defamatory, offensive or illegal behaviour of any user or third party. Any liability of the Provider, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees for any claims, revenues, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses or expenses shall be limited to the amount paid by the User to the Provider under this Agreement in the preceding 12 months or, if less, over the entire term of this Agreement between the Provider and the User.


This limitation of liability applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or any other basis, even if the provider has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. These T&Cs confer certain rights on the user, while the user may have other rights depending on the jurisdiction. The exclusions and limitations of liability under the T&Cs are void where prohibited by applicable law.

Compensation

The User agrees to indemnify and hold the Provider and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees harmless from and against any and all claims or demands, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debts and expenses, including, but not limited to, legal costs and expenses, arising out of or in connection with

  • access to and use of the Service by the User, including any data or content transmitted or received by the User;
  • the breach of these GTC by the user, including but not limited to the breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in these GTC by the user;
  • the infringement of third-party rights by the user, including but not limited to personal rights or intellectual property rights;
  • the violation of statutory provisions, rules or regulations by the user;
  • any content transmitted from the user account, including in the case of access by third parties using the user's username, password or other security measures, if any, and including misleading, false or inaccurate information;
  • the alleged misbehaviour of the user; or
  • the breach of any legal provision by the User or its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Common provisions

No waiver

Failure by the Provider to assert any right under these GTC or to enforce any provision of these GTC shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver.

Service interruption

In order to ensure the best possible service, the provider reserves the right to interrupt the service for maintenance, system updates or other changes. The provider will inform users accordingly.

The provider may also suspend or terminate the service completely within the framework of the statutory provisions. In the event of termination of the service, the provider will give users the opportunity to secure personal data or information in accordance with the applicable law and will take into account any claims of users for further use and/or compensation for damages under the applicable law.

In addition, the service may be unavailable for reasons beyond the control of the provider (so-called "force majeure" reasons) (e.g. infrastructure failures or power failures, etc.).

Resale

Users may not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit in any way The Cocktailmaker and the Service without the express prior written permission of the Provider, granted either directly or through a legitimate reseller programme.

Privacy policy

For information on the use of their personal data, users are referred to the privacy policy of the service (The Cocktailmaker), which hereby becomes part of these GTC.

Intellectual property rights

Without prejudice to more specific provisions of these Terms, all intellectual property rights, such as copyright, trade mark rights, patent rights and design rights relating to the Service (The Cocktailmaker) are the exclusive property of the Provider or its licensors and are protected by applicable law or international treaties relating to intellectual property.

All trademarks, trade names or figurative marks - and all other trademarks, trade names, service marks, word marks, illustrations, images or logos - appearing in connection with the Service (The Cocktailmaker) are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Provider or its licensors and are protected by applicable laws or international treaties relating to intellectual property.

Changes to these GTC

The provider reserves the right to change or otherwise modify these GTC at any time. In this case, the provider will inform the user appropriately about these changes.

Such changes shall only apply to the contractual relationship from the date notified to the user.

By continuing to use the service, the user accepts the amended GTC. If users do not wish to be bound by the changes, they must stop using the service and can cancel the contract.

If the revised terms and conditions are not accepted, either party may terminate the contract. For the relationship prior to the acceptance of the changes by the User, the respective valid previous version of the GTC shall apply. The User may obtain any previous version of the GTC from the Provider.

If required by law, the provider will inform the users in advance when the changed conditions come into effect.

Assignment of rights and obligations

The provider reserves the right to transfer, assign, replace by novation or pass on all rights and obligations arising from these GTC, taking into account the legitimate interests of the user.
The provisions on amendments to the GTC apply accordingly.

Users may not assign or transfer their rights or obligations under the GTC in any way without the written authorisation of the Provider.

Severability clause

Should any provision of these GTC be or become invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.

US users

Any such invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be interpreted and modified to the extent necessary to make them valid, enforceable and consistent with their original intent. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between Users and the Provider relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other communications between the parties relating to the same subject matter, including any prior agreements.
These GTC shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

EU users

If any provision of these GTC is or is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall use their best endeavours to reach an amicable agreement on valid and enforceable provisions to replace the invalid, unenforceable or unenforceable parts.
Otherwise, the ineffective, invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by the applicable statutory provisions, insofar as this is permissible or provided for under the applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the nullity, invalidity or unenforceability of individual provisions of these GTC shall not render the entire agreement null and void, unless the provisions in question are essential to the contract or of such importance that the parties would not have concluded the contract if they had known of the invalidity of the provision. If the remaining provisions would lead to unreasonable hardship for one of the parties, the invalidity of the individual provision shall result in the invalidity of the entire agreement.

These GTC are drawn up and revised in the following language: German. Other language versions of these GTC are provided for information purposes only. In the event of discrepancies between different language versions, the original version shall always prevail.

Applicable law

These GTC are subject to the law of the place where the provider has its registered office, with the exception of conflict of laws provisions. Users can find the location of the registered office in the relevant section of this document.

Primacy of national law

However, if the law of the country in which the user is located provides for a higher standard of consumer protection, that higher standard shall apply.
