TERMS & CONDITIONS

Terms and Conditions of Use of the Web Portal

These Terms and Conditions of Use of the Web Portal have been professionally translated and are deemed accurate. In the case of any discrepancy between the German and English translations, the German version shall prevail.

I. Purpose of the agreement and changes

§ 1. Purpose of the Terms and Conditions of Use

(1) 3forONE AG (hereinafter referred to as "3forONE") provides a platform on www.3forone.com (hereinafter referred to as "the portal"), via which the duly registered participants can make use of a wide range of services and also communicate with each other. The participants can call up content available on the portal, publish their own content and use the other free and paid services currently available on the portal within the scope of their respective availability. Further information on the services can be found in the service description, § 8.

(2) These terms and conditions of participation and use govern the provision of services by 3forONE and the use of these services by you as a properly registered participant.

(3) Information about 3forONE is available here.

§ 2. Changes to the Terms and Conditions of Use

(1) 3forONE reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions of Use at any time. These changes will also be applied to existing contracts. 3forONE will notify its Partners about any such changes at least 30 calendar days before they are due to come into force. If Partners do not object within 30 days of receiving such notification and continue to use the services following the expiry of the objection period, the changes will be deemed accepted and valid upon expiry of said period. If an objection is made, the contract will continue to run on the basis of the Terms and Conditions previously agreed. When notifying such a change, 3forONE will refer to the possibility of objection and the consequences of the change.

(2) In the event of changes to the sales tax, 3forONE is entitled to adjust the remuneration for the premium access in accordance with this change without the aforementioned right of objection.

II. Registration for usage, handling access information, termination of usage

§ 3. Authorisation to register

(1) The use of the chargeable services available on the portal requires the conclusion of a contract and your registration as a participant. There is no entitlement to participation. 3forONE is entitled to reject applications for participation without giving reasons.

(2) You are only permitted to register if you are of full age and have unlimited legal capacity. Minors are not permitted to register. In the case of a legal entity, the registration must be made by a natural person with unlimited legal capacity and the right to represent the entity.

§ 4.Offer and conclusion of contract

(1) 3forONE offers you a variety of membership models, including the Gold Cup Membership and special conditions for jockeys and amateurs. Each subscription provides access to an extended range of services for a monthly or annual fee. Details of each service and the corresponding fees will be displayed during the selection process. For more information on the services, please refer to § 8.

Please note: If you apply for access for personal purposes and not as part of your commercial or independent professional activity, you are entitled to a statutory right of withdrawal. For details on this and the withdrawal instructions, please find here.

(2) During the registration process, all requested contact and additional data must be provided completely and correctly. For the registration of a legal entity, the authorized natural person must be specified.

(3) The presentation of services on the 3forONE platform does not constitute a legally binding offer. A contractual relationship between you and 3forONE only arises through your subscription order and its acceptance by 3forONE. Upon acceptance of your order, 3forONE will send a confirmation email, which also serves as acceptance of your offer.

(4) Contract conclusion is possible in German, English, and French.

(5) To subscribe: a. On the "To the Members' Clubs" page, select the desired subscription (Gold Cup Membership monthly/yearly or Jockey Club) and click "Subscribe". b. You will be redirected to the "My Subscriptions" section. Here, you enter your personal data and payment information through a secure interface provided by our partner, Stripe. c. After entering your data, select "Subscribe with obligation to pay". Stripe will then guide you through the payment process.

(6) After completing the payment process, you will receive a confirmation email from us confirming your membership with 3forONE. This email serves as proof of your membership and the subscription details you have chosen. Please keep this email safe as it contains important information about your membership. Should you have any questions about your membership or need further information, we are always available via email, phone, or fax.

§ 5. Responsibility for access information

(1) During the registration process, you will be asked to enter a user name (your e-mail address) and a password. You can log in to the portal with this data after your access has been activated and confirmed by 3forONE.

(2) The access data including the password must be kept secret by you and must not be made accessible to unauthorised third parties.

(3) It is also your responsibility to ensure that your access to the portal and the use of the services available on the portal is exclusively carried out by you or by the persons authorised by you. If it is feared that unauthorised third parties have gained or will gain knowledge of your access data, 3forONE must be informed immediately.

You are liable for any use and/or other activity carried out under your access data in accordance with the statutory provisions.

§ 6. Updating the participant data

You are obliged to keep your data (including your contact details) up to date. If there is a change in the data provided during the period of your participation, you must correct the information immediately on the portal in your personal settings. If you are unable to do so, please notify us of your changed data immediately by e-mail or fax.

§ 7. Termination of usage

Termination of Subscriptions and Accounts:

(1) Subscriptions shall be terminated in accordance with the termination deadlines specified in each subscription.

(2) Unless otherwise agreed, the minimum contract term is one month, starting from the receipt of the email containing the access data. After the minimum contract term expires, the contract automatically renews for another month, unless terminated by either party with a notice period of fourteen (14) calendar days before the end of the minimum contract term or the respective renewal period.

Termination of Subscriptions:

(3) Users may terminate the subscription agreement independently via their user account under "Dashboard" -> "My Subscriptions". Users will be redirected to the Stripe interface, where the termination can be processed. This allows for immediate and automated processing of the termination without the need for manual email notifications.

(4) Upon termination, your right to access paid content and services expires, and access to these will be deactivated.

Deletion of Accounts:

(5) You may delete your account and personal data independently via your user account under "Dashboard" -> "Manage My Data". There, you will be given the option to permanently delete your account. Please note that the deletion of your account is irreversible and results in the permanent loss of all data and content associated with your account. This includes, but is not limited to, personal information, messages, uploaded content, and usage histories. We recommend that you back up any important data before proceeding with this action.

(6) Upon deletion of your account, you will receive a confirmation email from us, confirming the successful completion of the deletion process. If you reconsider and wish to return to our platform, you will need to create a new account, as your previous data cannot be restored.

III. Portal services and content

§ 8. Service provision and availability

(1) 3forONE provides information and other services on the Portal for use depending on the subscription you have chosen during a time-limited period. Examples of such services include the provision of data, posts, image and sound files, information and other content (hereinafter referred to as “content”) and the possibility to create individual profiles and contact other Users via private messages.

The content and scope of the services will be determined by the features available on the Portal at the time.

(2) The services provided on the Portal may also include services provided by third parties to which 3forONE merely provides access (for example streaming, photos, etc.). The use of such services may be subject to conditions that deviate from these Terms and Conditions of Use or additional regulations. In this case, 3forONE or the third party shall draw attention to this fact.

(3) 3forONE is responsible for ensuring an average monthly availability of 97% for access and all services. Regular maintenance periods on the Portal are not included in the availability calculation, which are between 2:00 and 4:00 every Sunday..

(4) Furthermore, entitlement to use the services provided on the Portal can only be ensured where it is technically and operationally possible for 3forONE to do so. 3forONE strives to ensure interruption-free use of its services as far as possible. However, constraints or interruptions may occasionally occur due to technical disruptions (such as power cuts, defective hardware and software, technical problems with data cables), which do not fall under the responsibility of 3forONE.

§ 9. Sale / Auctions of Horses

(1) 3forONE provides the technical possibilities of an online auction or hybrid auction for sale to potential buyers via the platform. This is a virtual marketplace on which horses can be offered by the You with the intention of sale and purchased by interested buyers (hereinafter "buyers").

(2) By placing the offered horse in the offer format "Auction", You make a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract for the acquisition of this horse under the conditions of 3forONE or the auction house operating the auction. Your offer can be accepted within the period determined by submitting a bid via the bidding function (in the case of auctions). The bid expires if another bidder submits a higher bid during the bidding period.

(3) A purchase contract for the acquisition of the horse shall be concluded between You and the highest bidder at the end of the auction or in the event of premature termination of the offer.

(4) Registered bidders and interested buyers can submit bids to 3forONE in real time, thereby instructing 3forONE to submit bids on behalf of the bidder. Before a bid is submitted, the content of the bid is summarised on an overview page. The bidder can correct his bid there using the change fields provided. By clicking the button "Submit Bid", the bidder submits a binding bid to the Organiser for the conclusion of a purchase contract. After placing the bid, the bidder receives an automatically generated e-mail from 3forONE or the organising auction house confirming receipt of the bid by the organiser or 3forONE and stating its details (confirmation of receipt). This confirmation of receipt does not constitute an acceptance of the contract, but only the confirmation of participation in the auction with the bid placed. Each bid made by a bidder is subject to the condition precedent of the submission of a higher bid. The respective bidder is bound by the bid submitted until the end of the bidding period. Bids that are below the minimum bid will not take part in the auction, even if the Organiser does not receive a higher bid by the end of the auction. The highest bid in each case shall be published.

(5) Notification of the conclusion of the contract in the case of an auction: The bidder who has submitted the highest effective bid at the end of the auction shall be notified of this in text form by e-mail or by other means on a durable data medium. The receipt of the notification is the confirmation of the already concluded purchase contract and not an additional condition for its conclusion. Bidders who have not submitted the highest bid will not receive any notification.

(6) 3forONE also links to auction platforms of auction houses. In these cases, 3forONE is not the operator of the auction, but exclusively the technical service provider of the auction house operating the auction. The GTC of the auction house operating the auction shall apply in each case.

(7) The contract for the purchase of a horse within the framework of an auction or a sale shall be concluded exclusively between You and the purchaser. By providing the virtual marketplace, 3forONE merely acts as an intermediary. The brokerage commission agreed between the Partner and 3forONE arises with the conclusion of the contract between the Partner and the purchaser, irrespective of whether the contract is executed or, if applicable, subsequently reversed.

§ 10. Changes to services

3forONE reserves the right at any time to change the services provided free of charge on the Portal, to provide new services, whether free of charge or in return for payment, and to discontinue the provision of services that are free of charge.

§ 11. Content protection and responsibility for third-party content

(1) The content provided on the Portal is, for the most part, protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights and is respectively the property of 3forONE, other users or third parties who have made the respective content available. The content as a whole is protected as a database as defined in Sections 4 (2) and 87a (1) of the German Copyright Act. This content may only be used in accordance with these Terms and Conditions of Use and within the specified context of the Portal.

(2) The content on the Portal is provided in part by 3forONE and in part by other users or third parties. Content belonging to users or third parties will hereinafter be referred to as “third-party content”. 3forONE does not verify the completeness, correctness or legality of third-party content and therefore assumes no responsibility whatsoever for third-party content or for ensuring its completeness, correctness and legality. This also applies to the quality of third-party content and its fitness for a particular purpose, as well as where third-party content is provided on linked external websites.

All content on the Portal is third party content, except for that content which is marked with a 3forONE copyright notice.

(3) 3forONE publishes third-party press releases on the Portal on behalf of third parties. These may be translated automatically, for which 3forONE uses an automated translation service (e.g. Deepl Translate). The translations are marked accordingly. 3forONE does not check translations for completeness, accuracy and legality and therefore assumes no responsibility or warranty for the completeness, accuracy, legality and timeliness of the translation. This also applies with regard to the quality of the translation and its suitability for a specific purpose.

(5) You are only permitted to offset undisputed or legally established counterclaims. You can only assert a right of retention if it is based on the same contractual relationship. In the case of consumers, this only applies to the extent that rights and claims of the consumer arising from or in connection with the exercise of his statutory right of withdrawal are not affected.

(4) You are responsible for the fulfilment of any information, labelling and/or instruction obligations towards potential purchasers or other interested parties (e.g. in accordance with DS-GVO, Art. 246 ff EGBGB, TMG etc.), in particular within the scope of the services and products offered against payment.

(5) 3forONE reserves the right to refuse the posting of content and/or to edit, block or remove already posted content (including private messages and entries on Systembook) without prior notice if the posting of content by the users or the posted content itself has led to a violation of § 15 or statutory provisions or if there are concrete indications that a serious violation of § 15 or statutory provisions will occur.

The personal data resulting from your registration on the portal, as well as from the use of the available services, will, therefore, only be collected, stored, and processed by the service provider insofar as this is necessary for the contractual provision of services and is permitted by legal regulations or ordered by the legislator. 3forONE will treat your data confidentially and by the provisions of the applicable data protection law and will not pass it on to third parties.

(2) Definition and Management of Shadow Profiles

Before Registration/Activation:

Shadow profiles before activation: A shadow profile is automatically created based on publicly accessible activities related to horse racing events and auctions. These profiles collect aggregated data on results and participation that are not directly assigned to a specific, registered user.

Status of non-registered participants: Individuals and companies represented as shadow profiles on our platform without being officially registered are not considered users traditionally. Their data does not include personal information but merely information about their horse racing and auctions activities.

After Registration/Activation:

Activation and registration: When individuals or companies activate a shadow profile or register on the platform, they become users. Upon activation/registration, the shadow profile is expanded into a complete user profile that may contain personal information and is managed under the platform's privacy policies.

Management of user data: Once a shadow profile becomes a user profile, it is subject to the full privacy provisions of our platform. Users have the right to view, update, and request the deletion of their data.

Deletion and users' rights: Users can request the deletion of their profile at any time. This includes the removal of all personal data from our database, although anonymous data from publicly accessible sources may remain if it is not directly linked to the individual profile.

Reactivation and new profile creation: If a person or company whose profile was once deleted becomes involved in activities such as horse racing events or auctions again, a new shadow profile based on these new activities is automatically created. This new shadow profile is initially subject to the same privacy policies as any other shadow profile maintained on our platform and can be activated and expanded into a complete user profile again if the respective individual or company decides to register or claim the profile.

(3) Beyond this, 3forONE will only use your data if you have expressly consented. You can revoke your consent at any time.

VI. Limitation of liability

§ 19. Limitation of liability for free services

Should you incur damage through the use of services provided free of charge on the portal (including the retrieval of free content), 3forONE shall only be liable insofar as your damage has arisen as a result of the contractual use of the free content and/or services, and only in the event of intent (including fraudulent intent) and gross negligence on the part of 3forONE.

§ 20. Liability for chargeable services

In the context of the use of chargeable services (including the retrieval of chargeable content) by you, 3forONE shall be liable in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) 3forONE shall be fully liable for any damages caused by it or its legal representatives, senior executives or other agents, whether the result of wilful or gross negligence.

(2) 3forONE shall not be liable where the breach of non-essential contractual obligations is caused by slight negligence. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment is essential to the proper implementation of the contract and on which the contractual party can reasonably expect to be able to rely. Moreover, 3forONE’s liability for its essential contractual obligations – those “whose fulfilment is essential to the proper implementation of the contract and on which the contractual party can reasonably expect to be able to rely” – in other words, its liability for its main essential contractual obligations in the event of damages caused by slight negligence, is limited to those damages which can be typically expected to arise as part of the particular contractual relationship (damages foreseeable and typical for the contract). This also applies in the case of breaches caused by slight negligence on the part of 3forONE’s legal representatives, senior executives or other agents acting on its behalf.

(3) The above limitation of liability shall not apply in cases of fraudulent intent, personal or bodily harm, warranty infringements or claims arising from product liability.

(4) You agree to release and indemnify 3forONE from all damages and third-party claims (this also extends to the reasonable costs of any legal advice and legal defence) provided that these are linked to a culpable breach of these Terms and Conditions of Use, a violation of third-party intellectual property rights or violation of legal provisions.

VII. Miscellaneous

§ 21. Requirement of the written form

Unless otherwise expressly specified in these Terms and Conditions of Use, all statements made within the framework of usage of the Portal are to be submitted in the written form or by email.

§ 22. Applicable law

These Terms and Conditions of Participation and Use are governed by Swiss law to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Mandatory provisions of the state in which you have your habitual residence, if you are a consumer, remain unaffected. In dealings with consumers within the European Union, the law of the consumer's place of residence may also be applicable if it is mandatory consumer law.

§ 23. Court of jurisdiction and place of fulfilment

The sole court of jurisdiction for any disputes arising from these Terms and Conditions of Use, where such an agreement regarding the court of jurisdiction is permissible, is where 3forONE has its head office.

If the consumer is not domiciled in a country of the European Union, our place of business shall also be the place of jurisdiction. In all other cases, the statutory place of jurisdiction shall apply.

§ 24. Cancellation policy for consumers

Consumers are entitled to a right of revocation according to the following provisions, whereby a consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity.

Cancellation policy for consumers

Right of withdrawal

Terms and Conditions of Use of the Partner Portal

These Terms and Conditions of Use of the Partner Portal have been professionally translated and are deemed accurate. In the case of any discrepancy between the German and English translations, the German version shall prevail.

I. Purpose of the agreement and changes

§ 1. Purpose of the Terms and Conditions of Use

(1) 3forONE AG (hereinafter referred to as “3forONE”) provides partners with access to a platform (hereinafter referred to as the “Partner Portal”). The Partner Portal serves to provide 3forONE’s partners (hereinafter referred to as “Partners”) with information and the possibility to communicate with registered users (end users) and each other. The Partner Portal will provide Partners with the opportunity to present their services and to network and communicate with other Partners. Properly registered Partners should be able to contact and communicate with each other. The Partners may create individual personal profiles, access content available on the Partner Portal and make use of all other services respectively available on the Partner Portal at the time. Certain features of the Partner Portal are also available for use by end clients (hereinafter referred to as “Users”).

More information about the services is provided in the Service description, Section 7.

(2) These Terms and Conditions of Use govern the provision of services by 3forONE and the use of such services by Partners. Together with the applicable privacy policy, they form the sole basis for use of the Partner Portal provided by 3forONE and the services available therein.

§ 2. Changes to the Terms and Conditions of Use

II. Registration for usage, handling access information, termination of usage

§ 3. Registration

(1) To use the services provided on the Partner Portal, Partners must first register and log in to the Partner Portal.

(2) Only persons authorised to represent the Partner shall be permitted to register for the Partner Portal, provided the Partner is a legal entity which determines the number of accounts and personal login information for their own employees (hereinafter also referred to as “Partners”) by means of internal authorisation processes.

(3) All contact information and other details requested by 3forONE and provided at the time of registration must be complete and correct.

(4) Once all of the requested information is provided, 3forONE checks it to ensure completeness and credibility. If it deems the information to be correct and does not have any other concerns, 3forONE approves the access request.

(5) 3forONE offers Partners various subscription options. These subscriptions provide access to an extended range of services in exchange for a monthly usage fee. The usage fee for the respective subscription will be indicated during the registration process.

(6) The presentation of 3forONE’s services on the platform does not constitute a binding contractual offer. Contracts between Partners and 3forONE are not in place until an order is placed and accepted by 3forONE. In the event of acceptance, 3forONE sends order confirmation by email. It is expressly stated that the sending of access information to the Partner constitutes a declaration of acceptance.

(7) It is currently possible to conclude a contract in German, English or French.

§ 4. Responsibility for access information

(1) In the course of the registration process, the Partner is asked to specify a username and password. Authorised persons as defined in Section 3 (2) may use these credentials to log in to the Partner Portal. The individual Partner is responsible for ensuring that usernames do not adversely impact the rights of any third parties, particularly rights such as trademarks or brand names, and that they are not offensive in nature.

(2) The access information and password must be stored securely by the Partner and must not be made available to unauthorised third parties.

(3) It is also the Partner’s responsibility to ensure that access to the Partner Portal and usage of the services provided on the Partner Portal is exclusively carried out by the Partner or persons authorised by the Partner. 3forONE must be immediately notified if the Partner suspects that unauthorised third parties have gained access to the access information.

(4) In accordance with statutory provisions, the Partner is responsible for any use of the access information and/or other activities carried out with it.

§ 5. Updating user data

The Partner is required to keep their data (including contact information) up-to-date. In the event that the data provided changes during the term of usage, the Partner must immediately correct the information in the Partner settings of the Portal.

§ 6. Termination of usage

Termination of Subscriptions and Accounts:

(1) The use of the Partner Portal is temporary and may be terminated according to the terms of the respective subscription or partnership.

(2) Upon the termination of the partnership by 3forONE or the partner's deregistration, the partner's access to paid content of the Partner Portal expires. 3forONE reserves the right to block access to paid content but retains the partner's account.

(3) 3forONE is entitled, upon the expiration of 30 calendar days after the termination takes effect and after the expiration of any statutory retention periods, to irretrievably delete all paid data generated in the context of the partner's participation.

Termination of Subscriptions:

(4) If the partner independently subscribed to a subscription, the partner is also responsible for canceling it. The partner can do this through the user account under "Dashboard" -> "My Subscriptions". There, the partner will be redirected to the Stripe interface, where the cancellation can be made. This allows for immediate and automated processing of the cancellation without the need for manual email notification.

(5) Deletion of the account and personal data is done by the partner independently through the user account under "Dashboard" -> "Manage My Data". The partner will be given the option to permanently delete the account. Please note that the deletion of the account is irreversible and leads to the permanent loss of all data and content associated with the account. This includes, but is not limited to, personal information, messages, uploaded content, and usage history. We recommend the partner to secure any important data before carrying out this action.

(6) Upon deletion of the account, the partner will receive a confirmation email from 3forONE confirming the successful completion of the deletion process. If the partner reconsiders their decision and wishes to return to our platform, they must create a new account, as the previous data cannot be restored.

III. Portal services and content

§ 7. Service provision and availability

(1) 3forONE provides information and other services on the Partner Portal for use during a time-limited period. Examples of such services include the provision of data, posts, image and sound files, information and other content (hereinafter referred to as “content”) and the possibility to create individual profiles and contact other Partners and Users via private messages.

The content and scope of the services will be determined by the features available on the Partner Portal at the time.

(2) The services provided on the Partner Portal may also include services provided by third parties to which 3forONE merely provides access (for example streaming, photos, etc.). The use of such services may be subject to conditions that deviate from these Terms and Conditions of Use or additional regulations. In this case, 3forONE or the third party shall draw attention to this fact.

(3) 3forONE is responsible for ensuring an average monthly availability of 97% for access and all services. Regular maintenance periods on the Partner Portal are not included in the availability calculation.

(4) Furthermore, entitlement to use the services provided on the Partner Portal can only be ensured where it is technically and operationally possible for 3forONE to do so. 3forONE strives to ensure interruption-free use of its services as far as possible. However, constraints or interruptions may occasionally occur due to technical disruptions (such as power cuts, defective hardware and software, technical problems with data cables), which do not fall under the responsibility of 3forONE.

§ 8. Sale / Auctions of Horses

(1) 3forONE provides the technical possibilities of an online auction or hybrid auction for sale to potential buyers via the partner platform. This is a virtual marketplace on which horses can be offered by the Partner with the intention of sale and purchased by interested buyers (hereinafter "buyers").

(2) By placing the offered horse in the offer format "Auction", the Partner makes a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract for the acquisition of this horse under the conditions of 3forONE or the auction house operating the auction. The Partner's offer can be accepted within the period determined by the Partner by submitting a bid via the bidding function (in the case of auctions). The bid expires if another bidder submits a higher bid during the bidding period.

(3) A purchase contract for the acquisition of the horse shall be concluded between the Partner and the highest bidder at the end of the auction or in the event of premature termination of the offer.

(7) The contract for the purchase of a horse within the framework of an auction or a sale shall be concluded exclusively between the Partner and the purchaser. By providing the virtual marketplace, 3forONE merely acts as an intermediary. The brokerage commission agreed between the Partner and 3forONE arises with the conclusion of the contract between the Partner and the purchaser, irrespective of whether the contract is executed or, if applicable, subsequently reversed.

§ 9. Changes to services

3forONE reserves the right at any time to change the services provided free of charge on the Partner Portal, to provide new services, whether free of charge or in return for payment, and to discontinue the provision of services that are free of charge.

§ 10. Content protection and responsibility for third-party content

(1) The content provided on the Partner Portal is, for the most part, protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights and is respectively the property of 3forONE, other Partners or third parties who have made the respective content available. The content as a whole is protected as a database as defined in Sections 4 (2) and 87a (1) of the German Copyright Act. This content may only be used in accordance with these Terms and Conditions of Use and within the specified context of the Partner Portal.

(2) The content on the Partner Portal is provided in part by 3forONE and in part by other Partners or third parties. Content belonging to partners or third parties will hereinafter be referred to as “third-party content”. 3forONE does not verify the completeness, correctness or legality of third-party content and therefore assumes no responsibility whatsoever for third-party content or for ensuring its completeness, correctness and legality. This also applies to the quality of third-party content and its fitness for a particular purpose, as well as where third-party content is provided on linked external websites.

(3) 3forONE publishes third-party press releases on the partner portal on behalf of third parties. These may be translated automatically, for which 3forONE uses an automated translation service (e.g. Deepl Translate). The translations are marked accordingly. 3forONE does not check translations for completeness, accuracy and legality and therefore assumes no responsibility or warranty for the completeness, accuracy, legality and timeliness of the translation. This also applies with regard to the quality of the translation and its suitability for a specific purpose.

(1) The usage rights are limited to accessing the Portal and to the use of the services provided on the Portal as set out in the provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Use.

(2) Partners are responsible for putting in place any technical requirements necessary for the use of the services in accordance with the terms of the contract. 3forONE is under no obligation to provide advice on this matter.

– to save the content on 3forONE’s server, publish it and make it publicly available (e.g. by displaying the content on the Partner Portal)

– to edit and reproduce it, where required for the provision or publication of particular content, and

– to also grant third parties the right to use the content posted free of charge in accordance with Section 14.

If the content posted is removed from the Partner Portal by the Partner, our usage and exploitation rights to no longer apply. However, 3forONE retains the right to store copies for security and/or verification purposes. Any usage rights to the posted content already granted to other Partners or Users will also remain unaffected.

(3) Partners are wholly responsible for any content they post. 3forONE assumes no responsibility for verifying the content for completeness, correctness, legality, currency, quality or fitness for a particular purpose.

Partners declare and assure 3forONE that they are the sole owner of all rights to content they post on the Portal, or that they are otherwise entitled (for example, through permission from the rights-holder) to post such content to the Portal and to grant rights of use and exploitation in accordance with subsection 2 above.

(4) The Partner is responsible for the fulfilment of any information, labelling and/or instruction obligations towards potential purchasers or other interested parties (e.g. in accordance with DS-GVO, Art. 246 ff EGBGB, TMG etc.), in particular within the scope of the services and products offered against payment.

(5) 3forONE reserves the right to refuse the posting of content and/or to edit, block or remove already posted content (including private messages and entries on Systembook) without prior notice if the posting of content by the Partner or the posted content itself has led to a violation of § 15 or statutory provisions or if there are concrete indications that a serious violation of § 15 or statutory provisions will occur.

(3) In the event of temporary blocking, 3forONE reactivates access after the blocking period and notifies the Partner of such by email. Once access has been permanently blocked, it cannot be restored. Permanently blocked users are permanently excluded from use of the Partner Portal and may not register for the Partner Portal again.

IV. Processing of personal data

§ 17. Data protection requirements

(1) The personal data of other Partners or Users are processed by 3forONE and the Partner in connection with the Partner’s or User’s use of the services provided on the Partner Portal. 3forONE and the Partner determine the means and purposes of these processing operations, details of which are provided below, each acting on their authority.

(3) The Partner is responsible for processing personal data in communicating and contacting each other and other Users.

(4) Definition and Management of Shadow Profiles

Before Registration/Activation: A shadow profile is automatically created based on publicly accessible activities related to horse racing events and auctions. These profiles collect aggregated data about results and participations that are not directly associated with a specific, registered user.

Status of Unregistered Participants: Individuals and companies represented as shadow profiles on our platform without being officially registered are not considered users traditionally. Their data does not include personal information but only information about their horse racing and auction activities.

After Registration/Activation: Upon activation or registration, the shadow profile is expanded into a complete profile that may contain personal information and is managed under the platform's privacy policies.

(5) 3forONE and the Partner will ensure that only personal data required for legitimate processing for a particular cause by the parties concerned will be collected. They will otherwise observe the principle of data minimization.

(6) The Parties agree to inform Users about the data they require for their operations as per Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR in precise, transparent, understandable and easily accessible forms using clear and simple language, free of charge.

(3) The above limitation of liability shall not apply in cases of fraudulent intent, personal or bodily harm, warranty infringements or claims arising from product liability.

(4) The Partner agrees to release and indemnify 3forONE from all damages and third-party claims (this also extends to the reasonable costs of any legal advice and legal defence) provided that these are linked to a culpable breach of these Terms and Conditions of Use, a violation of third-party intellectual property rights or violation of legal provisions.
