Legal & transparency

Everything that governs this preview in one place: provider, privacy, terms of use, the fee model, the working draft of the later platform terms and the community rules.

Last updated: 2026-10-25

This is a project preview, not a marketplace in operation. No auctions run, no bids are accepted, no contracts are concluded, no payments are taken. Every page states the operating mode.

Imprint / provider identification

Draft

Who operates this website, what it is (a preview, not a marketplace) and where the still-open operator master data is documented.

Privacy notice (preview operation)

In force

What is actually processed (logs, two technical cookies, demo accounts, contact form), for how long, on which legal basis, and which rights you have.

Terms of use for the project preview

In force

The binding rules for using this preview today: example data, no offers, no payments, fair use, liability, applicable law.

The planned fee model

Draft

3 % net, minimum 500 EUR, maximum 3.500 EUR - and what the cap, the reference and the seller participation mean.

Platform terms — working draft (not in force)

Draft

Full working draft of the later marketplace terms: roles, formats, bids, reserve, fees with cap, settlement, default, consumer rights and the open legal questions.

Community, recommendation and moderation rules

In force

How Circles work, what the three named connections mean, why friendship is never a bidding strategy, and how moderation escalates.

What is settled and what is still open

We publish the status of the legal work honestly instead of presenting a checklist as legal certainty:

In force for this preview: the terms of use, the privacy notice and the community rules — as they describe the actual operation.
Explicitly a working draft, not in force: the platform terms (AGB) for the later real operation.
Still open: verified operator master data for the imprint, the binding fee schedule for the target market, the seller participation rate, and the legal assessments named in the AGB draft (§ 23).
Not claimed anywhere: that online auctions generally exclude withdrawal rights, or that this preview is already fully assessed in legal terms.

These texts were prepared with care for this preview. They are not legal advice and not proof of legal safety; open questions stay open until they are clarified by a qualified review.
