4.2 The main winner agrees that the DFL or a third party named by the DFL can produce visual
and/or audiovisual recordings during the trip. The main winner grants the DFL the exclusive
right to exploit these recordings commercially and for non-commercial purposes without any
restriction in time and territory either by itself or through licensees and partners of the DFL (i.e.
cooperation, media and marketing partners), as well as the clubs of the Bundesliga and the
Bundesliga 2. The exploitation can take place in every physical form (especially production
and dissemination of all digital and analogue media formats) and every non-physical form
(especially broadcast, public communication or accessibility, for example, as download or
streaming) in all media and on all platforms. The use is expressly limited in content to showing
the main winner in this capacity.
4.3 The DFL will observe the provisions in the law on data protection and data safety. All data
entered by the User during registration in the Competition will only be collected, processed and
secured for the conduction of the Competition, and deleted afterwards.
5. Warranty and liability
The following provisions apply for warranty and liability of the DFL for the Competition provided
free of charge, regardless of the legal basis:
5.1 The liability of the DFL is limited in amount to the harm typically foreseeable when
concluding the contract in the case of minor negligent violation of primary duties
[Kardinalpflichten] (i.e. material duties which must be fulfilled by the DFL and which are of
major importance for achieving the purpose of the Competition or which must be complied with
by the DFL and which, if violated, can result in endangering achievement of the purpose of the
contract). The DFL is not liable for minor negligent violation of other duties.
5.2 The DFL assumes no warranty for defects in substance and/or defects in title with regard
to the prizes. The respective winner can only assert warranty claims against the respective
supplier. If a prize is provided by a partner, the DFL is also not liable for any insolvency of this
partner and the consequences of insolvency. Exclusion of the above liability for defects in
substance and/or defects in title on the part of the DFL does not apply if the defect in title or in
the item was fraudulently not disclosed by the DFL.
5.3 The above limits and exclusions on liability and warranties do not apply in cases in which
liability is mandated by law, especially in the case of culpable injury to life, physical integrity
and health or claims under the German Product Liability Act [Produkthaftungsgesetz]. To the
extent that the liability of the DFL is excluded or limited, this also applies for the personal liability
of corporate bodies, employees, representatives and agents.
6. Other provisions
6.1 The DFL reserves the right to interrupt or shut down the Competition at any time without
stating reasons. Especially reasons involving technology and/or legal matters, as a result of
which the Competition can no longer be properly conducted, can be the basis for the end of
the Competition.
