You will receive a confirmation email acknowledging receipt of your order (“Order Confirmation”), which signifies acceptance of your offer and the formation of the contract.

We store the contract text (i.e., the T&Cs and order data), and you may print or save them during the ordering process. After the order process is completed, we will provide you with an Order Confirmation that contains relevant contractual information. The final contract text may no longer be accessible online after completion of your order.

System Requirements
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary hardware, software, and internet connectivity to access or download digital Products. We are not liable for any inability to download due to technical issues on your side.

Digital Products are sold for personal, non-transferable use unless expressly stated otherwise. You may not modify, distribute, sell, or share the digital files beyond the scope of what is permitted by applicable law or explicitly stated in the Product description.

Right of Withdrawal for Digital Products
Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive, once you access or download digital content that is not supplied on a tangible medium, you typically lose the right to cancel if you have expressly consented to immediate performance of the contract and acknowledged you would lose the right of withdrawal. We will prompt you to confirm this before completing your purchase.

This license ends when you delete the content or terminate your account unless the content has been shared or stored by other Users.

8. Right of Withdrawal (Widerrufsrecht)

General
If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you have a statutory right of withdrawal for certain purchases. However, for digital Products delivered by immediate download, you typically lose this right once you have downloaded or accessed the digital content, provided that you consented to immediate performance and acknowledged the loss of the right of withdrawal.

Withdrawal Form
If for some reason the right of withdrawal still applies, you may notify us (see Contact Information) with a clear written statement (email is sufficient). We can provide a standard withdrawal form template upon request.

Consequences of Withdrawal
If a valid withdrawal occurs before you have accessed or downloaded any digital Product, we will refund any payments received in relation to that product within fourteen (14) days of receiving your notice of withdrawal.

9. Legal Warranty and Liability

Legal Warranty
If you are a consumer, you benefit from statutory warranty rights for digital Products. You must notify us promptly if you encounter any defect or issue with the purchased digital content.

Exclusions
Any warranty is void if the defect arises from unauthorized manipulation, misuse, or failure to comply with recommended usage guidelines.

Limitation of Liability
For simple negligence, we are only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties). Liability for breach of these obligations is limited to foreseeable damages typical for such contracts.
We disclaim any liability for data loss or site unavailability beyond what is mandated by law.
Nothing in these T&Cs excludes or limits liability to an extent prohibited by applicable law.

In business transactions with Entrepreneurs, the place of jurisdiction is our registered office in Munich, Germany. Mandatory statutory provisions on exclusive jurisdictions remain unaffected for consumers.

16. Severability Clause

If any provision of these T&Cs is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions, which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

17. Dispute Resolution and ADR

In accordance with Art. 14(1) ODR-VO and § 36 VSBG, the European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS) at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Existentialists is a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual existence, freedom, and choice. Existentialists believe that individuals are responsible for creating their own meaning and purpose in life, as opposed to relying on external sources such as religion or societal norms. Key concepts in existentialism include:

1. Existence precedes essence: Existentialists assert that individuals exist first and then define themselves through their actions and choices.

2. Freedom and responsibility: Existentialists emphasize the freedom of individuals to make their own choices, but also highlight the responsibility that comes with this freedom. They believe that individuals must take responsibility for their actions and their impact on the world.

3. Anxiety and authenticity: Existentialists often discuss the experience of anxiety that arises from the awareness of one’s freedom and responsibility. They advocate for authenticity, which involves being true to oneself and living in accordance with one’s own values and beliefs.

4. Absurdity: Existentialists contend that the universe is inherently meaningless, and that individuals must create their own meaning in a world that lacks inherent purpose or order.

5. Authenticity: Existentialists encourage individuals to live authentically by making choices that align with their true selves, rather than conforming to societal expectations or external influences.

Overall, existentialism emphasizes the importance of individual experience, choice, and responsibility in creating meaning and purpose in life.
