2. Object of Contract and Scope of Service

2.1. Classic Driver offers services for placing advertisements ('ads') for the sale of products on the website. Ad placement services are provided on a per-fee basis, whereby the prices to be paid are determined by the currently valid price list as specified under Number 5. By accepting the services offered by Classic Driver, the subscriber recognises the currently valid prices and these GTCs in their currently applicable version.

2.2. Access to a restricted area on the website is provided for the subscriber. The restricted area ('dealer's area') is only accessible by means of authentication using access data. In the dealer area, special functions are available that one can use to upload and edit advertisements.

2.3 .After the subscriber has uploaded an advertisement, it will be accessible by the external users of the website ('users') for queries through the search forms available on the website (and possibly the websites of Classic Driver's cooperation partners). An advertisement can be called up for the period of the originally agreed-upon contract period or any additionally agreed upon contract period (c.f. Number 4). After this, advertisements are automatically de-activated and deleted from the website.

2.6. In connecting subscribers and users, Classic Driver uses the information given to Classic Driver. Classic Driver accepts no liability for the accuracy of such information. More specifically, Classic Driver does not confirm the identity of users. Any liability on the part of Classic Driver in connection with the inaccuracy of the information provided is excluded.

2.7. Classic Driver is not bound either as broker or agent or party or representative of a party in the relationship between the subscriber and the user. Contracts that are initiated as a result of an advertisement placed on our website will be concluded and fulfilled without any involvement on the part of Classic Driver.

2.8. Classic Driver can wholly or partially delegate the performance of services to third parties and/or allow third parties access to the advertisements, data and information published on the Classic Driver website.

2.9. Classic Driver reserves the right to modify the range of services on the website and its design, or to offer different services.

Classic Driver can also involve third parties for support of these activities.

3.1  The contract between Classic Driver and the subscriber for the use of the dealer area involving these GTCs enters into force as soon as (i) the subscriber has submitted to Classic Driver either a signed registration form or, to the extent that Classic Driver offers this option on its website, has submitted a corresponding electronic registration form ('dealer registration') offering to conclude a contract and (ii) Classic Driver has accepted this offer by transmitting access data to the subscriber as described in Number 3.6. Classic Driver will exercise its own discretion in deciding on the acceptance or rejection of an offer.

3.2 In dealer registration, the subscriber selects a 'service package' which includes a specific number of advertisements per month as well as specific services, which are included in the subscription fee (c.f. Clause 5). As soon as the subscriber has reached the number of advertisements per month stipulated in the selected service package, no more advertisements can be placed.

3.3 If the subscriber would like to place additional advertisements, he has to inform Classic Driver in written or by email (c.f. Number 4.3) that he would like a larger service package. The Agreement will then be continued according to the conditions of the newly selected service package for the remaining time period of the Agreement, as well as for the renewal periods (c.f. Number 4.1).

3.4 If the subscriber would like a smaller service package then he has to inform Classic Driver latest 10 days before the termination of his current Agreement period in written or by E-Mal (c.f. Number 4.3). For the remaining period of the Agreement the conditions of the original service package apply. The conditions of the newly selected service packet apply as from the first renewal period (c.f. Number 4.1).

3.5 No credit or refund of payment is allowed if the subscriber does not place the maximum number of advertisements/month.

3.6 The subscriber will receive a password and user name for access to the dealer's area in order to place, modify or delete advertisements ('access data').

5.4 If the subscriber orders a smaller service packet (c.f. Number 3.4) during the contract period, the amount due remains equal to the originally established amount for the remaining agreement period. For the renewal period the conditions of the newly ordered service packet will apply.

5.5  Payment will be rendered via credit card to the extent that other payment arrangements are not made inwriting. The subscriber authorises Classic Driver to charge the billed amount to his/her credit card in each case. The subscriber is obligated to make sure that adequate credit is available on the card at all times.

5.6  Under reservation of Clause 5.5, invoices will be sent via e-mail to the address that the subscriber noted in the Dealer registration form and/or communicated to Classic Driver after the fact.

Properties that are essential to customers, such as known or suspected defects in a product, must be stated in the advertisement.

6.2 The subscriber is obligated to comply with all applicable legal regulations in formulating the content of the offers he/she places on the website.

6.4 Classic Driver is entitled to integrate the subscriber's advertisements in other print and online media (e.g. trade magazines, websites of Classic Driver's cooperation partners or social media channels) and into software applications. The subscriber accepts that his/her advertisements can also be translated for integration into print or online media and software applications.

6.9 In the event that provisions of this Number 6 are violated, Classic Driver can block or delete the subscriber's advertisements wholly or partially without consulting the subscriber and without stating any reasons. This especially applies to advertisements that were placed in an incorrect product category or for images and text that infringe on or can infringe on third-party rights. The subscriber cannot derive any claims against Classic Driver in connection with blocking or deletions done for these reasons; the fees for placing the ads are still owed in their full amount and will not be refunded.

Classic Driver complies with all the legal provisions of data protection. All protected personal data collected in the framework of registration or generated in the use [of our service] that are subject to the protections of the Swiss Data Protection Act will be collected, stored and used exclusively for the purpose of contract fulfilment, market research as well as billing purposes to the extent that the subscriber has not given express consent to a use going beyond this, or if the Data Protection Act allows it.

8 Availability and Use of the Website

8.1 Classic Driver makes every effort to make the website as consistently available as possible. The subscriber, however, is aware that a 100% availability of the website is not technologically possible. Disruptions in service or temporary suspension of the operation of the website or availability of advertisements that have been placed can occur for reasons of maintenance, security or capacity, or due to events that lie outside of Classic Driver's range of influence (such as disruptions or interruptions of public communications systems or power failures, etc.).

8.2 Classic Driver reserves the right to temporarily restrict the uploading, editing and access to the advertisements if this is necessary for reasons of limited capacity, security or integrity of the service, or to carry out technical measures (e.g. maintenance).

8.3 Any liability on the part of Classic Driver for impediments and/or interruptions of services is excluded regardless of the cause. Likewise, there is no claim to a (proportional) reduction in the payments to be rendered or any refund of services already paid for.

8.4 Any actions on the part of the subscriber (such as use of software, scripts or other mechanisms), that could have a negative effect on the regular and proper operation of the website are prohibited. The subscriber must refrain from any actions that could excessively burden the website's technical infrastructure.

8.5Classic Driver will take the financially reasonable, technically possible and proportional measures to secure data and information that the subscriber transfers to the website. Classic Driver, however, accepts no liability of any kind for the security of the subscriber's data.
