The user thereby enters the recipients and their address data (email address or mobile phone number) himself. We then create the message content (dealer address data and required imprint details). In case of text messages the user cannot change or supplement the text, in case of emails he can additionally insert contents in the reference line and in the text of the messages. Messages are sent unencrypted and will not be sent in the event of a corresponding declaration to us by the recipient.

With the exception of the dealer address data provided by us, the user is exclusively responsible for the contents created, selected and sent by him or his representatives or any other persons with access to his internet access. To the extent the user can supplement or create contents, in doing so he may not violate applicable law, in particular he may not circulate any content that is illegal, infringes copyrights or is objectionable. The use of the “Dealer Recommendation” feature for sending mass e-cards and all other forms of advertising or marketing messages or chain letters is not permitted.
