Contents of the offers (item description)

All types of direct or indirect advertising for services or offers outside the action are only permitted within the framework of advertising contracts to be concluded separately with audio-markt. The linking, naming, in whole or in part, of one's own internet pages is also only permitted within the framework of an advertising contract to be concluded with audio-markt.

In particular, it must be pointed out if the article is not new.
The price of the respective article is the final price including value added tax and other price components.
Reviews
In order to prevent fraudulent actions and given the fact that the actual identification of natural or legal persons on the internet is made difficult, audio-markt has a rating system. audio-markt does not know the personal circumstances of sellers and buyers. In order to enable a certain assessment of creditworthiness, audio-markt maintains a database on its websites that shows whether the respective user has participated in transactions and fulfilled his payment obligations. audio-markt records successful and failed transactions in its database. Conclusions from the information in the credit rating system may be inaccurate, e.g. due to changes in the circumstances of the users or deliberate or inadvertent misrepresentations. With the help of this system, users can evaluate each other according to the contract that has been concluded. This should help the users to assess the reliability of their contract partner. The users must therefore provide truthful information in their evaluations. The ratings given must be factual and must not contain any insults.
audio-markt is entitled to exclude users who violate these rules from the marketplace at short notice.
Data protection
The personal data of audio-markt users will not be passed on to third parties. audio-markt undertakes to provide the user with information on his stored data upon request. The personal data of our users will be treated in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act of the Federal Republic of Germany and will only be used and stored for billing purposes.
You will find our complete data protection declaration in the menu item under Data protection.
System integrity and disruption of our website
The user is not entitled to use any mechanisms, software or other scripts in connection with the use of the audio-markt website that may interfere with the functioning of the audio-markt website. The user may not take any measures that could result in an unreasonable or excessive load on the audio-markt infrastructure. The user is not permitted to block, overwrite or modify content generated by audio-markt or to interfere in any other way with the audio-markt website.
The content stored on the audio-markt website may not be copied or distributed, used in any other way or duplicated without the prior permission of the copyright holder. This also applies to copying by means of "robot/crawler" search engine technologies or other automatic mechanisms. The layout of the audio-markt websites and these General Terms and Conditions may only be reproduced and/or used on other websites with the prior written agreement of audio-markt.
Scope of use / System availability
The user's claim to use the audio-markt website and its functions exists only within the framework of the current state of technology. audio-markt temporarily restricts its services if this is necessary with regard to capacity limits, the security or integrity of the servers or for the implementation of technical measures and if this serves the proper or improved provision of the services (maintenance work). In these cases, audio-markt takes into account the legitimate interests of the members, e.g. by providing advance information.
audio-markt strives to guarantee an availability of 24 hours daily on 7 days/weeks. audio-markt uses for this a well-known and proven internet provider. For only short term and/or insignificant impairment of the audio market place and the callability of individual entries the guarantee is impossible. Audio-markt is not liable for access restrictions based on force majeure and for which audio-markt is not responsible.
audio-markt cannot be made liable for server failures of the provider and possibly lost profits. In case of data loss or system failure audio-markt is only liable in case of intent or gross negligence. The height of the compensation cannot exceed the corresponding amount of a compensation for one calendar year. Claims for damages beyond this are excluded.
In principle, the timely notification of any malfunctions or defects is a fundamental requirement for remedy. Excluded are claims due to obvious defects which have not been reported in writing within 2 weeks after knowledge or possibility of knowledge.
The warranty is primarily provided by rectification of defects. If this is missing, the user can reduce or terminate the contract.
Written form and place of jurisdiction
All declarations in connection with the contract of use to be concluded or concluded with audio-markt must be made by written form or e-mail. This also applies to the written form requirement. The e-mail address is info@audio-markt.de. The postal address is: audio-markt, Herzog-Johann-Str. 38, 50769 Cologne, Germany. Place of performance and jurisdiction - as far as possible - for all claims from and against audio-markt is Cologne.
Amendment of these General Terms and Conditions and Severability Clause
audio-markt reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time and without stating reasons. If the changed conditions are not contradicted within 4 weeks after receipt of the electronic change or supplement notification, the changed conditions become an effective part of the contract. In the event that the user should have objected in due time, the contract will be continued to the previously valid provision; however, audio-markt reserves the right to terminate the contract at the next possible time.
Should any provision of these GTC be invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The ineffective provision will be replaced by one of the applicable laws which comes closest to this in a legal and economic manner. The same applies to possible regulatory gaps.
