II. Special provisions applicable to the Marketplace

  1. Provision of infrastructure
    • Via the Marketplace Users may purchase goods or services (“Products”) from third-party vendors. The use of the Marketplace itself is free of charge
    • We do not sell or offer for sale any Products via the Marketplace. Our service merely consists in making available a technological infrastructure allowing third-party vendors (“Vendors”) to offer Products to Users and Users to purchase them.
  2. Contract conclusion and liability
    • Any contract regarding the purchase of Products closed over the Marketplace is therefore solely entered into by the User and the respective Vendor.
    • We do not control, monitor, moderate or inspect any Products offered by Vendors via the Marketplace and do therefore not bear any responsibility in connection with such Products, including but not limited to their quality, safety, accuracy, or the Vendors’ ability to provide them.
    • The limitation of liability extends in particular to
      • any pre-contractual statement, claim or description of the Products offered through the Marketplace;
        the existence of any applicable license, authorisation, qualification or other official permit allowing Vendors to offer specific goods or services, as may be required by applicable law;
      • any claim based on partial, incorrect or failed performance of contracts entered via the Marketplace;
      • any characteristics of the Products, including their merchantability according to applicable law and their suitability for a determined audience and/or age.
  1. Purchasing process
    • To Purchase Products from a Vendor Users must select them and thereby place them into their virtual shopping cart. Once they have done so, they may review their selection from within their shopping cart section or confirm it.
    • To proceed to check-out, Users must either log-into their User account (if any) or proceed “as guests”. In the former case, the purchasing process will automatically be populated with the data extracted from the User account. In the latter case, Users will have to provide the following data to proceed to check-out: name, last name, address, e-mail address.
    • In addition to the above, Users must choose a method of payment among those available. The Provider does not process payments and does therefore not collect any payment data from Users.
    • After the above-mentioned data has been specified, Users can review their order and – if necessary – correct any errors, integrate missing information or go back.
    • To place the order, Users must accept the terms of sale provided by the relevant Vendor and click on the respective button. The contract with the relevant Vendor is closed upon submission of the order.
    • Upon order submission, Users will receive an email confirmation of the order.
    • In case the User buys a so-called “Mystery Box”, the User acknowledges and agrees that he buys a digital item set with the specific items unknown to the User at the time of the purchase. The total value of items contained in such a Mystery Box, if purchased separately and specifically, will always lie above the purchasing price. 
    • Due to the nature of the unknown content and therefore reduced price of the Mystery Boxes the buying User shall have no right to revocation regarding any such bought Mystery Boxes.
  2. Mandatory information, fulfilment
    • Any mandatory information in connection with the sale of Products – such as information about the Vendor, about the Product’s characteristics, prices, applicable guarantees, right of withdrawal, delivery restrictions etc. – will be made available to Users during the purchasing process or, as the case may be, after placing the order by each relevant Vendor. We as Marketplace Provider do not bear any responsibility in connection with the provision of such information.
    • The entire fulfilment of orders is handled by the Vendor and its agents. Users are invited to contact the relevant Vendor in case of any questions, complaints or claims regarding Products offered or purchased. The Provider does not bear any responsibility in connection with the fulfilment of orders.
