§ 2 Contract Subject Matter – Contract Conclusion
(1) The subject of the contract is the use of the website www.ferimmo.de and the databases described above, as well as the forwarding of communication between renters/prospective buyers and owners, landlords, brokers and service providers regarding the real estate properties or services presented on our website.
(2) The presentation of the availability of real estate properties and service providers via our platform does not constitute a consultation service to the User, but serves solely to support and simplify an independent decision by the User. We determine suitable real estate properties or services for the User, on the basis of User-specified preferences or location information.
(3) The abundance and fluctuation of the real estate properties and service providers offered, as well as the respective prices and booking statuses prevent the presentation of complete and updated availability. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the completeness and availability of the properties and service providers shown on our portal. Also, we cannot guarantee that the respective property or products of the respective service provider represent the most favorable offer for the User. Nevertheless, we strive to objectively and neutrally provide a choice for the User, facilitating the selection of a suitable property or service.
(4) The use of the portal is free for non-commercial purposes.

(3) The data provided by the User during the registration process, as well as the User’s IP address, will be stored by us upon completion of the registration process.
(4) The User can make a request for any of the properties shown on our platform. The request does not constitute a legally binding offer to conclude a contract, but merely a non-binding message to the owner or real estate agent.
§ 4 User Obligations
(1) The User assumes the sole responsibility for the completeness and correctness of all data entered by him/her in the input fields of our portal or otherwise transmitted.
