  1. Specification of Services

3.1      Registered users (hereinafter: users) can free of charge and without engagement obtain information about prices and conditions from logistics service providers co-operating with SHIPPION.

3.2.      Via this website, no contracts are concluded between users and logistics service providers. Moreover, SHIPPION establishes the technical connection to the respective logistics service providers so that in case of selection of a logistics service provider by the user the latter arrives at the website of the logistics service provider and can there conclude the contract directly with the selected logistics service provider. In this case, the GTC and any other possible conditions of the logistics service provider apply, which can be looked through on the respective website of the selected logistics service provider.

3.3       In this context, SHIPPION acts exclusively as an intermediary and does not conclude itself any contracts about freight transport or logistics services with the user or other third parties.

3.4       In case of disputes arising from any contracts concluded between users and logistics service providers SHIPPION does neither act as an intermediary nor as an involved party. Such disputes shall be settled exclusively between the contractual parties.

3.5       The user must always meet its assumed contractual obligations towards the selected Service Provider.

3.6       SHIPPION does not grant the users any copyrights and other protective rights. As far as eTendio provides the user with software, the user receives a simple right of use, limited to the contractual purpose, non-transferable, and limited at longest to the period of the contract’s term.

 

  1. Registration and Conclusion of Contract

4.1       The registration as a user is a prerequisite for using the services of SHIPPION. There is no entitlement to registration.

4.2      The registration as a user is free of charge.

4.3      The registration is permitted only to legal entities and such individuals with unlimited contractual capacity having attained the age of 18 and acting as entrepreneurs within the meaning of item 2.1 of this GTC.

4.4      The use of SHIPPION’s website or the extent to which single functions and services can be used, can be linked by SHIPPION to particular preconditions, e.g. the examination of login data and proof of trading licence.

4.5      The data inquired on registration must be stated completely and correctly. If there occurs a change of the inquired data after registration, the user will be obliged to immediately update the data in his/her/its member account.

4.5      The registration is done by opening a user account. Such account can be opened by activating the corresponding link in that area of SHIPPION’s website that is provided for this purpose. Thereafter, one must enter the personal data of the user and expressly confirm knowledge of the GTC and the data protection declaration, and consent to them. When the corresponding button is activated the user makes a binding offer for the conclusion of a user contract relating to the services of SHIPPION. SHIPPION accepts the offer by sending a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the user on registration with the demand to confirm the indicated e-mail address. By SHIPPION’s sending this confirmation e-mail the user contract is concluded between the user and SHIPPION.

4.5      The user is obliged to keep the login data secret and not to disclose them to third parties. If the user is concerned that any third party could have obtained the login data or otherwise obtained access to the member account, the user will have to immediately advertise SHIPPION of this.

 

  1. Exclusion of Liability

5.1      SHIPPION does not guarantee the permanent and uninterrupted availability of the website and the offered services. In case of server failure or other interruption of the services SHIPPION is not liable, unless SHIPPION has acted in a grossly negligent or intentional manner. This above-mentioned exclusion of liability does not apply to damages arising from injury to life, body or health as well as in case of mandatory legal provisions.

5.2      Furthermore, SHIPPION reserves the right to limit temporarily the services on this website, if it is necessary in view of capacity limits, safety and integrity of the servers or for carrying out technical measures which serve the proper or improved provision of services.

5.3      When searching for offers of logistics service providers SHIPPION strives for correct and up to date information. In doing so, SHIPPION presents the information as given by the logistics service providers. Therefore, SHIPPION itself cannot guarantee that the information displayed is correct and up to date. For this reason, the user itself must carefully verify the offers and conditions on the respective website of the selected logistics service provider before assuming any contractual obligations. Any liability of SHIPPION for possible deviations is excluded according to item 5.5 of these GTC.

(1) SHIPPION will be liable without limitation for damage insofar as it is guilty of intent or gross negligence.

(2) For ordinary negligence SHIPPION is liable only in case of violation of a duty the fulfilment of which enables the proper implementation of the contract and on the observation of which the user may regularly rely (cardinal obligation). Apart from that, any liability in case of ordinary negligence is excluded.

(3) If SHIPPION is liable for ordinary negligence, as above, the liability will be limited to the damage with the occurrence of which one had to reckon typically under the circumstances known on conclusion of the contract.

(4) The above exclusions and limitations of liability do not apply as far as any guarantee for the quality of the services has been given or the defectiveness of the service has been maliciously concealed. Furthermore, SHIPPION is liable without limitation for damage to life, body, and health as well as in case of other mandatory legal provisions.
