Obligations of the youbuyda user:
Websites, particularly those of registered users, may contain permanent or temporary links. These links indicate available offers and/or provide further information about these offers.

If there is a reference to the internet presence of a third party, youbuyda assumes no responsibility/liability for the content of that linked page. An exception is made for legal obligations. Therefore, youbuyda explicitly distances itself from all content that can be accessed through a linked page. Furthermore, youbuyda does not endorse the content under any circumstances. By confirming a link, the user leaves the Local Commerce Suite. Therefore, different rules and conditions may apply to offers from a third party.

However, in the event of slight negligent violation of such obligations, the extent of liability is limited to the typically foreseeable damage. Liability for other cases of slight negligence is excluded. This also applies to the breach of obligations by vicarious agents. The limitation of liability primarily applies to liability for damages caused by the use of third-party services such as Google, Amazon, Bliggit, etc. Places and/or incorrect or faulty information from a third party (e.g., users). youbuyda is not responsible for such damages.
These terms of use exclusively apply. Other terms of use and general terms and conditions, as well as other contractual conditions on the part of users and/or a third party, are not the responsibility/liability of youbuyda.

If one or more provisions of these terms of use become invalid, all other provisions remain unaffected. In such a case, the terms of use will be adjusted by the parties in such a way that the respective provision continues to have the greatest possible effect. The same applies to possible gaps in regulations. German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Gießen. For determining the place of jurisdiction, the statutory provisions apply in all other respects.
