Terms and conditions for the use of the Illusions-Recycling.com website belonging to Illusions-Schmiede GmbH Ilmenau

- Appendix 1– go to Subparagraph 1e) IS IR T&C

The following IR principles are of especial importance and are integral to the IS IR T&C:

1. Principles concerning system breakdown

IS GmbH will attempt to keep the systems supporting the IR marketplace perfectly and constantly available. However, for technical reasons, IS GmbH cannot guarantee 100% availability. In particular, it is possible for technical circumstances or act of God to cause some brief disruption or the temporary interruption of the services on the IR website and in such cases the following principles apply.

a)	What is a system breakdown?
A system breakdown is when it is not possible for members or third parties to access insertions because of errors due to the systems of the IR marketplace.
b)	What are the consequences of a system breakdown for the member?
In the case of IR website services which are dependent on a certain expiry time or are business conducted to a closure time, an extension (without any additional charge) will be granted which equates to the duration of the system breakdown.
c)	Problems with additional services of the IR website (IR T&C, Subparagraph 8 b (1))

d)	Routine maintenance
Maintenance of the IR marketplace is carried out on a routine and notified basis. At such times, certain predefined functions will not be available. The principles so far named concerning system breakdown will not apply to these maintenance situations. If insertions reach their closure time during the period or are otherwise affected by it, there will neither be an extension nor any return of the payment for insertion.

2. Principles concerning the insertion of items

a)	Insertion with no product or service
It is not permitted to make insertions containing no actual item or service. It is likewise forbidden to insert personal opinions, political views, insults to members of the IR community or comments without relevance to the items inserted.
b)	Insertion of more than one identical item
Members are not permitted to make simultaneous insertions of items with identical content. This rule applies also to the insertion of identical items under different member names. In any period, it is only permitted to insert an item formatted as an advertisement once, in a subcategory.
c)	Declaration as to legality
It is not permitted to claim either in the name or the description of the item that the IR website has agreed to the sale of the item, that the sale of the item is permissible under current laws or that the insertion conforms to the IR principles.
d)	Draws and competitions
Members of the IR marketplace are not allowed to conduct forbidden competitions on the IR website or to link items to forbidden draws and competitions or to provide incentives intended to motivate possible purchasers into buying or bidding by exploiting the gambling instinct.
e)	Principle concerning passing on of charges and imposition of fees
It is forbidden to demand from purchasers any further fees (including commission) over and above the purchase price. This applies in particular to the IR charges and to PayPal fees.
f)	Principle concerning free extras, bonuses and gifts
As long as the conditions below are fulfilled, members are in principle permitted to offer a free extra with their insertion. The free extra must not be a forbidden item (see Principle concerning impermissible items). For all insertions accompanied by a free extra, the member must state exactly the conditions under which he or she will provide the extra. The details of value and quality must be correct for the extra in question. The value of the extra must not be equal to or exceed the value of the item inserted.
g)	Liability in respect of feasibility
A member inserting an item must be able immediately after the purchase agreement to make the item available to the purchaser for the purpose or use agreed.
h)	Manipulation of search results
When items are inserted on the IR website it is forbidden to employ unsuitable or misleading expressions in the name or title of the item and in its description as a means of manipulating search engine results. The text used by the member in his or her insertions must be of immediate relevance to the items inserted.
i)	Abuse of brand names
It is not permitted to employ brand names not actually part of the item when describing it or as part of the title, and not permitted to exploit a brand's reputation.
j)	Search-and-exchange notices
It is not permitted to insert search-and-exchange notices as items.
k)	Use of links
No linking from the IR marketplace to any external websites or sources of information is permitted. The same applies to links and other connections to live chat systems (such as the “call me” type of button or link). Web addresses (URLs) without a hyperlink and any part of such will count as links.
l)	Details in the membership profile
The member’s profile is not permitted to contain anything other than personal details and details of the member's enterprise. The only web addresses (URLs) or links permitted are those to the member’s personal website or his or her enterprise website.
m)	Methods of payment
This principle states that it is not permitted to require the purchaser of an item to pay any dues for the purchase of the item by means of cash transfer services such as those of Western Union or MoneyGram or of any other payment method not accepted by IS GmbH. Likewise, members are required not to demand of the purchaser of an item that he or she send cash by post.

3. Principles concerning permissible content of insertions and items

a)	No item may be inserted on the IR marketplace if its insertion offends against legal provisions, particularly those applying to copyright and trade names belonging to third parties, or common decency, or the principles of IS GmbH.
b)	In particular, it is also not permitted to insert items or other publications with content which is illegal, which threatens the life, person or property of another individual, or which is defamatory, racist, calumniating, oppressive, or pornographic.
c)	It is not permitted to insert items which fail to meet the IS GmbH standard of quality.
d)	a) It is further and in particular not permitted to insert items or any publication with the following content: Forgeries of any kind, including pirated products Unauthorised copies of copyright works or objects Pirate copies of software, music or cinematic films Any personal details and any advertisements in which details of named individuals are required Any form of discrimination Pornography Text or objects which are pornographic or harmful to minors References to material offered commercially on the Internet, e-commerce shops or Internet auctions Advertisements serving only the purpose of advertising other Internet sites Catalogues from which purchasers may order direct Items which do not in fact exist but serve only the purpose of advertising a member's own or any other enterprise Mailing or address lists or personal details of third persons (also software which has been developed for the purpose of sending “spam" messages). This list is not conclusive. IS GmbH reserves the right to update it at any time.
