After successfully logging in, the customer’s address and bank details as stored by PayPal will be shown.

Material contractual obligations are such obligations which arise out of the nature of the contract, the breach of which would jeopardize the achievement of the contract, and obligations imposed on us by the contract in accordance with its contents for fulfilling the contract's purpose, the fulfillment of which is essential for due implementation of the contract and upon which the customer can generally rely.
  1. When irrelevant contractual obligations are violated liability is excluded in the case of careless neglect of duties.
  1. Given the present state of technology data communication on the internet cannot be without errors and cannot always be guaranteed. The provider is not liable either for the permanent or uninterrupted availability of the website or for the facilities it offers.

§14  Choice of Law, Place of Performance, Place of Jurisdiction

  1. German Law applies. This choice of law applies so that the law of the state of the normal residence of the consumer does not deprive him of the principle of the benefit of the doubt. 
  2. Place of performance for all services for existing business relations with the

   provider and place of jurisdiction is the provider’s location, in so far as the

   customer is not a consumer but a trader, a corporation of public institution or is

   under public law or extra wealth.

   The same is true if the consumer has no general place of jurisdiction in  

   Germany or the EU or if the residence or normal place of residence at the time a

   complaint was filed was unknown. The authority to call the court to another legal

   place of jurisdiction remains inviolate.

   3.  he provisions of the UN Sales Law are absolutely not to be applied.
