1.2. The services of the Provider covered by these T&C are directed exclusively at entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), i.e. natural or legal persons or partnerships with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, act in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

1.3. These T&C do not apply to the contracts concluded between Merchant and End Users or between Supplier and Merchant, as the case may be. The Provider itself does not offer any tourist services and does not become a contractual partner of the contracts concluded exclusively between the Users of the Services or between Users and End Users. However, in addition to the services covered by these T&C, the Provider itself also acts as a merchant of individual leisure and travel services, and in this context it also uses the platform and interfaces provided.

The introduction of new Products by the Supplier within the Term shall be deemed to be a clearly confirmatory act waiving the Term, except in cases where the Supplier is required to make significant technical adjustments to its Products as a result of the changes. In the latter case, the introduction of new products shall not automatically be considered as a waiver of the deadline.
