**Affiliate-Disclaimer**
Scope and Applicability
This disclaimer applies to all content and sections of this website where affiliate links or other commercial connections to external providers are incorporated. By using this website, you agree to the terms set forth below. This disclosure is intended to provide full transparency by informing you that, should you make a purchase through these links, we will receive a commission—without incurring any additional cost to you.
1. General Information
Transparency and Editorial Independence: Our website utilizes affiliate links to help cover operating expenses and support the ongoing development of our content. We uphold strict editorial independence, meaning the selection of products, services, or offers is based solely on our own research, experience, and evaluation. The presence of an affiliate link does not constitute an obligation to recommend; rather, it is a means to create a mutually beneficial relationship without influencing our independent judgments.
Information Obligation and Disclosure: We are committed to full transparency regarding our commercial relationships. All affiliate link notices are clearly disclosed both in the immediate vicinity of the links and in a centrally accessible section (for example, in the website’s “About” or “Affiliate Disclaimer” page). This disclosure complies with legal requirements for advertising and commercial content in Austria, Germany, and other applicable jurisdictions.
2. How Affiliate Links Work
Definition and Mechanism: Affiliate links are specially coded hyperlinks that direct you to external websites. If you click on one of these links and subsequently make a purchase or take another qualifying action, we receive a commission, typically calculated as a percentage of the sale price or as a fixed fee. Importantly, this process does not incur any additional cost for you.
Selection and Integration Process: The integration of affiliate links is carried out under strict editorial guidelines. We select only those partners and service providers whose products and services meet our quality standards based on comprehensive research and personal experience. Our commercial interests do not influence our content evaluations or recommendations.
3. Liability and Responsibility
Responsibility for External Content: Please note that we do not have any control over the content, accuracy, or currency of external websites linked via our affiliate links. The responsibility for such content lies solely with the respective operators of those websites. Consequently, we cannot be held liable for any damages or losses arising from the use of external content.
Limitation of Liability: While we make every effort to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we exclude liability for any direct or indirect damages that may result from the use of this website or from the external links provided, to the fullest extent permitted by law. This includes damages resulting from erroneous or outdated information. Should any deficiencies or legal violations become apparent, we commit to promptly removing or correcting the relevant links or content.
4. Data Protection and Security
Collection and Processing of Personal Data: When you use our affiliate links, certain personal data may be transmitted to third-party providers for fulfilling contractual and legal obligations. These transfers are governed by the respective privacy policies of the external providers. We recommend reviewing those policies on the corresponding websites to fully understand how your data is handled.
Security Measures: We implement technical and organizational measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access. However, due to the inherent nature of data transmission over the internet, we cannot guarantee absolute security for any data transmitted via affiliate links. You acknowledge and accept the existence of a residual risk beyond our control.
5. Right to Amend and Updates
Reservation of Rights: Given that legal requirements and commercial circumstances may change, we reserve the right to modify this Affiliate Disclaimer at any time. Any changes will be posted on this website and become effective immediately upon publication.
Notification of Updates: While we strive to inform users of significant changes in a timely manner, it remains your responsibility to review the most current version of this Affiliate Disclaimer periodically. Continued use of this website signifies your acceptance of the updated terms.
6. Final Provisions and Contact Information
Severability Clause: Should any provision of this Affiliate Disclaimer be deemed invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. In that event, the invalid provision shall be replaced by a regulation that most closely reflects the original economic intent.
Contact Details: For any further information or inquiries regarding this Affiliate Disclaimer, please contact us through the details provided in our website’s “Contact” or “Imprint” section. We are committed to clarifying any issues or addressing any concerns you might have.
