18.1 German law shall apply. The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods expressly do not apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country of the consumer's habitual residence is not thereby withdrawn (principle of favorability).
18.2 The place of performance for all services arising from the business relations existing with the Operator and the place of jurisdiction shall be the registered office of the Operator, insofar as the Operator is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if the user does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the place of residence or usual abode is not known at the time the action is filed.
