Subsequently, we retain the required personal information for the periods established by law. During this retention period (usually six to 10 years after conclusion of the agreement), the information is used only in the case of an audit by the tax authority.

3.3. Simplified Scheduling
In order to simplify the scheduling of a customer and consultation call, on the basis of Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR, we use the services of Calendly LLC, 1315 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309, USA ("Calendly").

You can find more information on protecting your privacy in relation to Calendly, please read Calendly's data privacy policy here. You can object this data processing at any time with effect for the future and free of charge. Therefore, it is sufficient to give us a short notice by e-mail to privacy@visaright.eu.


3.4. Data Processing for Customer Support or Customer Service
3.4.1. Informational purposes
If you have signed up for our Services, we manage you as an existing customer. In this case, we process your contact information in order to send you information about your application process and related information.

3.4.2. Newsletter
One of our Services is to offer prospective customers the opportunity to sign up for our newsletter. We use the double opt-in process to confirm that the email address entered actually corresponds to the prospective customer. After the email address is entered, we send you a confirmation link. Your email address will only be included on our mailing list after you click on this confirmation link. We store the information collected during this process only for purposes of documentation and proof. This includes:

• The email address you provide
• Your IP address
• The date and time of registration
• Form of address
• The date, content and time of the confirmation email
• The IP address of the device used for the confirmation
• The date and time of your confirmation
  

The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) a) GDPR. We store this information until the contract relationship ends as proof of the legality of sending the newsletter. After the contract relationship ends, we retain the required personal information for the period specified by law. During this period (usually 10 years from the conclusion of the agreement), the data will only be processed again in the event of a tax audit. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Simply click on the unsubscribe button in the respective e-mail or send a short note by e-mail. Please use the options to contact the company's data privacy officer for this purpose.

3.4.3. Mailchimp
In order to manage our customers and our marketing and newsletter campaigns, we use the services of MailChimp's newsletter delivery service, operated by Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA ("Mailchimp"), on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR. Specifically, we use Mailchimp's analysis module to compile our individual e-mail newsletter, which evaluates both your use of our newsletter and our website. Mailchimp offers us the possibility to check whether and how the sent newsletters are opened and used, e.g. to how many users an e-mail was sent, whether e-mails were rejected and whether users unsubscribed from the list after receiving an e-mail. For this purpose, we transmit to Mailchimp in particular the following personal data of the affected users:

• E-mail address
• Name, first name
• Company's name
• Your given Phone number
• Verification status of the customer account
• Account status
• Opt-ins to contact us
• First registration date
• Customer number
• Regional segment
• Affiliate ID if applicable
  

The "web-beacon" contained in the newsletter is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, information about the browser, your system, your IP address and the time of retrieval is collected. In addition, information is collected on whether the newsletter is opened, when it is opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to you as the recipient. However, it is not our intention to observe you as an individual user. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to all users or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
The collection of this data is necessary so that we can trace the processes in the event of misuse of the e-mail address and therefore serves our legal protection. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter. The evaluation takes place on our behalf, but MailChimp can also use the data for quality assurance and quality improvement of its own services.
Your data will be stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. The USA is an insecure third country. MailChimp is certified according to the "Privacy Shield Framework" and thus meets the European standards for legally compliance for data processing. Additional information on MailChimp and data protection at MailChimp can be found in the MailChimp Privacy Policy and in the further explanations on the GDPR. If you have any questions, you can also contact MailChimp's data protection officer directly: privacy@mailchimp.com.
You can revoke your consent to the storage and use of your personal data to receive the newsletter and the statistical survey described above at any time with effect for the future and free of charge. For the purpose of revoking your consent, you can use the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. Your data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Your e-mail address will therefore be stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.

3.4.4. Intercom

We use the messaging and customer service tool offered by Intercom Inc., 55 2nd St, 4th Fl., San Francisco, CA, 94105, USA and Intercom R&D Unlimited Company, 2nd floor, Stephen court, 18-21 St. Stephen's green, Dublin 2, Ireland at https://www.intercom.com („Intercom"). When using the Intercom tool within our Service, your data, such as your name, email address, used operating system, browser version, IP address, referrer URL as well as the content of your message(s) will be transferred to Intercom and stored on Intercom's servers in the US. Intercom will then use this data to provide its services vis-à-vis VISARIGHT (as set forth in their terms of service: https://docs.intercom.com/pricing-privacy-and-terms/intercom-terms-of-service) in order to answer your questions and customer inquiries related to our Services.

The privacy policy of Intercom can be obtained at: https://www.intercom.com/privacy.


3.4.5. Right to withdraw of revoke
You may object to the use of your data for the aforementioned purposes at any time free of charge for each communication channel and with effect for the future. An email or a letter sent using the contact information shown under Section 2 is sufficient for this purpose.
Once you submit your objection, we will block the relevant contact address for future advertising data processing. We will process your objection as soon as possible and implement the appropriate blocking measures immediately after it is confirmed. Please note that in some exceptional cases the relevant information or product recommendations may still be received even after receipt of your objection. This is simply due to technical reasons and does not mean your objection has not been processed. Thank you very much for your understanding.

4. Data Processing for the Provision of our Services
In this section, we inform you about the data processing necessary for the provision of our Services:

4.1. Online Presence and Website Optimization
We will not sell or lease your information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We only disclose certain information to third parties from time to time to be able to offer the best possible product to our customers, improve the quality of our Services and protect the interests of our customers. However, this disclosure will always be subject to strict limitations, which are described in more detail below.

4.1.1. Cookies – General Information
We use cookies on our website in compliance with Art. 6(1) f) of the GDPR. Our interest in improving our Services is recognized as legitimate in the aforementioned provision. Cookies are small files generated automatically by your browser and stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you use our Services. Cookies do not harm your device, and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. Cookies contain information downloaded by the specific device. This does not mean, however, that we receive direct knowledge of your identity. One purpose of cookies is to make it more convenient for you to use our Services. For example, we use session cookies to track your use of the individual pages of our website or when you have logged on to your customer account. When you use our Services again at a later time, the cookie automatically recognizes your previous visit to the website, as well as your input and settings, so that you do not have to enter them again. To make the site more user friendly, we also use temporary cookies, which are stored on your device for a predetermined period of time. These cookies are automatically deleted when you log off.
If you already have a customer account and are logged on, the information stored in the cookies are associated with that account.
Another reason we use cookies is to gather statistics on the use of our Services and evaluate them in order to optimize your experience and to display information tailored to you. These cookies allow us to automatically recognize that you have visited our site before. The cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined period. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can disable cookies on your browser or choose to be notified when a new cookie is created. However, disabling cookies completely may mean that not all features of our Services will be available to you. The storage period of cookies depends on their purpose and may vary.

4.1.2. Google Tag Manager
We manage website tags (website code) with Google Tag Manager. These tags helps us manage and continuously improve our Services and reduce your loading time. Google Tag Manager only implements website code. Google Tag Manager itself does not generate cookies or collect any personal information. It merely integrates website code that we have stored elsewhere that may be used to collect data. It is therefore only used to facilitate the management of the respective code, but does not itself access the data processed by the code. In this privacy policy, we inform you about all tags that are integrated in this way. Consult the relevant Google pages for more information about Google Tag Manager and user guidelines.

4.1.3. Google Analytics
For the custom design and continuous improvement of our Services, in compliance with Art. 6(1) f) of the GDPR, we use the web analytics service of Google Analytics of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google"). Using cookies, Google creates pseudonymised user profiles. The information generated by the cookies for users includes:

• Browser type/version
• Operating system
• Referrer URL (previously visited page)
• Host name of the accessing computer (IP address)
• Time of the server request
  

This information is sent to a Google server in the U.S. and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of our Services, to compile reports on the activities, and to provide other related services for purposes of market research and customized design. This information may also be sent to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with any other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymised so that assignment is not possible (IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of the cookies in advance by configuring your browser software accordingly or object to the continued processing of your data with the cookies by clicking on the opt-out link. Please note that if you disable cookies, it will not be possible to fully take advantage of all of the features of our Services. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookies and related to your usage (including your IP address) by downloading and installing this browser add-on. On mobile devices, we recommend using private mode. You can find more information on protecting your privacy in relation to Google Analytics on the Google Analytics website.

4.1.4. Facebook Pixel
To set up, continuously improve, and track the conversion of our Facebook campaigns as required, in compliance with Art. 6(1) f) of the GDPR, we use the individual visitor action pixel of Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter "Facebook"). This pixel is integrated into our website's code. This helps us ensure that the Facebook ads we initiate are only displayed to Facebook users who have shown interest in our Services. In this way we know that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the respective users and not bothering them. It also allows us to track the actions of Facebook users after they have viewed or clicked on one of our Facebook ads. At the same time, it helps us track the conversion of the respective campaign for statistical, market-research and billing purposes. The following information is collected during its use:

• Time stamp
• URL
• Campaign-related information (particularly impression, form field and activated button specifications)

Information collected in this way is anonymous to us and therefore does not provide us with any information about the identity of the respective user. Such processing for behavioural and interest-based advertising purposes is recognized as in our legitimate interest under Recital 47 of the GDPR. The data is stored in accordance with the legally established retention periods and then automatically deleted.
You should be aware that when you log on after placing the pixel on your Facebook account, or you visit our website while logged on, Facebook may store and process this information. Facebook can connect this data with your Facebook account and use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's data policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can find more information about the Facebook pixel here. You can enable Facebook and its partners to display ads on and off Facebook. You can object to this special data processing at any time by changing your Facebook settings accordingly or by simply informing us that you no longer want this processing in the future. Please use the contact options for our company's data privacy officer for this purpose. Please be aware that the objection only applies to the device being used in each case. For further information, see the Facebook Privacy Policy and information on protecting your personal privacy.

4.1.5. Facebook Lookalike Audiences
To optimize targeting and track the conversion of our Facebook campaigns, in compliance with Art. 6(1) f) of the GDPR, we use the option of developing Facebook lookalike audiences offered to us by Facebook. You can find more information about the Facebook Lookalike Audiences at: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/365463786964246.

The data processing for advertising on the basis of behavior and interests is recognized as in our legitimate interest under Recital 47 of the GDPR. If you belong to the Facebook Lookalike Audience, we send your email address and your device's ID to Facebook. You can object to this special data processing at any time by changing your Facebook settings at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads or simply inform us that you no longer want this processing in the future. Alternatively, it is sufficient to give us a short notice by e-mail to privacy@visaright.eu.

5. Recipients outside the EU
As indicated above under 3.3 and 3.4, data may also be sent to recipients located outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. This applies in particular to the aforementioned processing of analysis and/or targeting technologies, which can result in data transmission to the servers of the service providers. Other recipients may be affiliated service providers that we need in order to provide our services, e.g. hosts, CRM tools, analytical service providers. These servers may be outside the EU, especially in the US. We make absolutely sure that these service providers guarantee data protection standards equivalent to those of the GDPR and that they comply with the applicable directives. Therefore, we only work with those service providers who are certified by the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. In case number C(2016) 4176), the European Commission established the suitability of this data protection level for certification in compliance with Art. 45 of the GDPR. The use of these certified service providers thus meets European standards for lawful data processing. In addition, we have obtained suitable contractual guarantees from all service providers based in other EU countries that they are in compliance with these EU standards and protect the rights of affected persons, for example by using the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

6. Your Rights
6.1. Overview
In addition to the right at any time to withdraw any consent you have given us, you are also entitled to the following if the respective legal conditions are met:

• The right to be informed about your personal data that is stored with us, pursuant to Art. 15 of the GDPR
• In the event of transmissions covered by Art. 46, 47 or 49(1) 2) of the GDPR, the right to information, or references to suitable or appropriate guarantees that a copy of them can be obtained, or where they are available
• The right to correct inaccurate or incomplete data, pursuant to Art. 16 of the GDPR
• The right to the deletion of your personal information that is stored with us, pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR
• The right to limit the processing of your data, pursuant to Art. 18 of the GDPR
• The right to data portability, pursuant to Art. 20 of the GDPR.
  

6.2. Right to Object
Under the provisions of Art. 21(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data.
The foregoing general right to object applies to all processing purposes described in this Privacy Policy that are based on Article 6(1) f) GDPR. Unlike the special right to object to data processing for commercial purposes (see above under Section 3.3), we are only obliged to implement such a general objection under the GDPR if you state reasons of overriding importance (e.g. a potential risk to life or health). Furthermore, you may contact the supervisory authority responsible for us, which is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Berliner Beauftragten für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit), Friedrichstraße 219, 10969 Berlin.

7. Data Security
We apply the highest standards to data security for our infrastructure and the processing of your data. For example, we use protection mechanisms for computers such as firewalls and data encryption. Our buildings and data are subject to physical access controls. Access to the personal information of our customers is only possible for those employees who need them to carry out their activities.
All personal data sent by you, including your payment information, is also transmitted using the generally accepted and secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) standard. SSL is a secure and proven standard, e.g. it is also used for online banking. You will recognize a secure SSL connection with the placement of an "s" at the end of http (i.e. https: // …) in the address bar of your browser, or with the lock icon at the bottom of the browser.
We also apply suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, partial or complete loss, and against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously monitored using the latest technology, and regularly adapted to the relevant risk, and improved if necessary.
In the event that personal data is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will promptly notify those persons whose personal data has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

8. Children's PrivacyProtecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 16 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 16, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 16 is allowed to provide any personal information to or on the Services. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at privacy@visaright.eu.

9. Notification Procedures
It is our policy to provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business-related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on our website page, as determined by us in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to our Privacy Policy
If we change our Privacy Policy and procedures, we will post those changes on our platform to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on our platform.

6. VISARIGHT Services / Operation of the VISARIGHT Platform

6.1 VISARIGHT's services consist of the operation of the VISARIGHT platform. One of the main functions of the VISARIGHT platform is to provide general, non-individual information on all aspects of visa and migration.

6.2 Further functions of the VISARIGHT platform include the provision of communication facilities with VISARIGHT's partner law firms. This includes the transmission of messages, information and documents as well as the provision of a user area in which the exchanged messages, information and documents can be stored.

6.3 VISARIGHT itself does not carry out any legal examination of individual cases.


7 Services of VISARIGHT / Creation of Documents / Authorization Checks

7.1 The development of the VISARIGHT platform has involved an analysis of numerous procedures and processes, in particular those relating to the issue of visa. On the basis of this analysis, VISARIGHT has developed a questionnaire (algorithm) which, based on specific questions, makes it possible to create documents tailored to the needs of the user and to carry out eligibility checks. Even if these documents contain the name and other personal data, it is not the result of a legal examination in the individual case, but an individualized standard document.

7.2 The user can purchase the individualised standard document from VISARIGHT. By purchasing the individualised standard document, the user undertakes to use the document only for the purpose resulting from the content of the document, e.g. to submit an application to an authority in his own name. The user shall refrain from systematically evaluating and/or passing on and/or reselling the documents to third parties.

7.3 Note: The creation of the individualized standard document and eligibility checks do not replace legal advice. VISARIGHT therefore recommends that Users seek legal advice from a lawyer in order to have the User's individual case legally examined.

7.4 Note: VISARIGHT continuously updates the algorithm used to create the individualized standard document. The individualized standard documents should therefore always be used in close temporal relation (maximum 14 days) to the creation of the document. In the event of a time delay, the required documents should be recreated.


8. Free Initial Consultation by Partner Law Firms

8.1 Via the VISARIGHT platform you can submit a request for an initial consultation by a lawyer free of charge. VISARIGHT will make this request available to the partner law firms. If the enquiry is accepted by a lawyer for answering and free initial consultation, you will first be informed that the enquiry is being processed. After completion of the examination, the lawyer will send you the result of his examination via the VISARIGHT platform.

8.2 The free initial consultation is a free service of the partner firm which has taken over the consultation.

8.3 With the initial consultation, the partner firm will, if necessary, send you an offer for further consultation. You are not obliged to accept this offer.


9. Paid Offers from Partner Law Firms

9.1 Via the VISARIGHT platform, you can also accept offers from partner law firms that are subject to a fee.

9.2 The fee-based services provided by the partner firm are also services provided by the partner firm which has provided the advice.


10. Publication of Questions and Answers

VISARIGHT is entitled to publish your legal question and the answer of the partner firm. The publication will be anonymous and the name of the partner firm may be mentioned. VISARIGHT is entitled to edit your inquiry as well as the reply.


11. Evaluations

11.1 VISARIGHT offers users the opportunity to evaluate and comment on the service and the partner law firms (hereinafter referred to collectively as "evaluation"). There is no obligation to rate the service.

11.2 If you make use of the option to rate or comment, VISARIGHT shall be entitled to publish your evaluation

• with your first name and place of residence

• in combination with the legal question you have asked, and

• in combination with the partner firm that answered your question.

The evaluation can be displayed in this form at various points of our service and in advertising for our service (e.g. as part of an advertising banner).

11.3 VISARIGHT is entitled to forward evaluations, in particular negative evaluations, to the person (e.g. lawyer, partner firm) and to give them the opportunity to comment. VISARIGHT is entitled, but not obliged, to publish both the assessment and the statement in the event of a statement.

11.4 VISARIGHT is not obliged to publish evaluations. We reserve the right to delete already published reviews without giving reasons.


12. Payment Processing via Payment Services

12.1 Payments to VISARIGHT as well as payments to partner law firms can be made via the payment services integrated on the VISARIGHT platform. VISARIGHT only arranges the use of the payment service provider's services for payment processing, but does not carry out the payment processing itself.

12.2 The payment process and thus the use of the payment services is integrated into the ordering process at VISARIGHT. The payment process is started by clicking on the corresponding button of the payment service provider and leads to the page of the respective payment service provider.

12.3 In order to use payment services, it may be necessary for you to enter into a contractual relationship with the respective payment service provider.

12.4 VISARIGHT has currently integrated the following payment services: Prepayment (invoice), PayPal® and Stripe. We reserve the right to exclude or subsequently add certain payment options.


13. Violations of the General Terms and Conditions of Business

VISARIGHT reserves the right to deny the user the use of VISARIGHT's services if the user violates these GTC or any other applicable law. As a rule, VISARIGHT will first request the User to terminate the unlawful conduct. If the User's conduct gives rise to facts which make it unreasonable to expect VISARIGHT to continue the user relationship with the User, VISARIGHT shall be entitled to terminate the user relationship with immediate effect.


14 Liability, Warranty

14.1 Claims for damages due to breach of duty and unlawful conduct as well as claims for reimbursement of futile expenses against VISARIGHT and its vicarious agents are excluded.

14.2 This limitation of liability shall not apply if the damage was caused intentionally or by gross negligence, or in the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, i.e. contractual obligations the fulfilment of which is essential to the proper performance of the contract and the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely on, and the breach of which on the other hand endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract. It shall not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, body or health if VISARIGHT is responsible for the breach of duty. Furthermore, the limitation shall not apply to damages which are based on the absence of a warranted characteristic or for which liability is provided in accordance with the Produkthaftungsgesetz (German Product Liability Act).

14.3 In the event of a claim for damages for the slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations and in the event of a grossly negligent breach of secondary contractual obligations, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. This shall not apply in cases of personal injury, damage based on the absence of a warranted characteristic or for which liability is provided under the Produkthaftungsgesetz (German Product Liability Act).

14.4 VISARIGHT shall not be liable for the services provided by the partner firm.


15. Duration, Termination of the User Agreement

15.1 The user relationship shall run for an indefinite period and may be terminated by either party at any time with one month's notice to the end of the month. Both parties reserve the right to terminate the contract without notice for good cause. Each termination requires the text form of § 126b BGB, i.e. at least one e-mail. We reserve the right to provide our users with further options for terminating the contract.

15.2 After termination of the contract your user account including the corresponding contents will be deleted. Contributions and/or reviews posted by you may, however, remain accessible on VISARIGHT.

15.3 If data, documents or other information is available in your user account, you are obliged in the event of termination to secure this data for your own purposes. After the expiry of the period of notice, the data will be deleted unless we are obliged by law to store the data. Even in the event of extraordinary termination, the data will be kept ready for you for the duration of the regular period of notice in order to enable you to back up your data, unless this is unreasonable for us.

15.4 If we have blocked your user account or declared the extraordinary termination to you, you may not re-register with VISARIGHT without our explicit consent.

16.3 We will usually contact you within 3 working days of you claiming the warranty.


17 Amendments to the GTC

17.1 We reserve the right to amend these GTC at any time and without giving reasons. The new GTC will be sent to you by e-mail. The new GTC shall be deemed to have been agreed if you do not object to their validity within 14 days of receipt of the e-mail. The objection requires the text form. We will inform you separately in the e-mail about the possibility of objection, the deadline and the consequences of your inaction. If you object, each party has the right to terminate the user agreement as provided in section 13.

17.2 However, the possibility of amending the GTC does not exist for amendments that restrict the content and scope of VISARIGHT's core usage options to your disadvantage, nor for the introduction of new obligations for you that were not previously laid down in the GTC.


18. Legal Notice Regarding the Content of the Websites

The contents of VISARIGHT's websites are created and updated with great economic effort. The contents of VISARIGHT's websites may only be used for the user's own information purposes. Any further use of the contents or linking to the contents for commercial purposes is not permitted.

The user acknowledges the aforementioned restrictions on the use of the contents of the VISARIGHT website.


19 Final Provisions, Dispute Resolution Procedure

19.1 The contractual relationship with the users shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. If the user has concluded the contract as a consumer, the mandatory consumer protection provisions applicable in the country in which the user has his habitual residence shall also apply, provided that these provide the user with further protection.

19.2 German is the only language available for the conclusion of the contract. In connection with the confirmation e-mail (cf. Section 3.4), you will receive these Terms of Use and any further contract-relevant information. In addition, VISARIGHT will not store any contractual text concerning the user relationship that could be retrieved by you. However, the Terms of Use can also be accessed at any time on the website at https://visaright.eu/terms .

19.3 If one or more provisions of these GTC should be or become invalid, both the user agreement and the remaining GTC shall remain valid. The user and VISARIGHT undertake to replace the corresponding provision with provisions that correspond economically to the purpose of the contract.

19.4 Link to the OS platform pursuant to Article 14(1) of Regulation EU No 524/2013:

http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/

VISARIGHT is neither legally nor voluntarily obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration body.

Since arbitration boards are liable to pay costs, VISARIGHT will not participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board, even in the well-understood cost interest of the user.
