According to § 13 BGB (German Civil Code), a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity. Pursuant to Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), an entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity.Entrepreneurs within the meaning of these GTC are also authorities, corporations, institutions, foundations, legal entities under public law or a special fund under public law, which act exclusively under private law when concluding the contract.The ANB of VanSite shall apply exclusively. Deviating, contradictory or supplementary general terms and conditions or ANB of the User shall only become part of the contract if and to the extent that VanSite has expressly agreed to their validity.With respect to entrepreneurs, these Terms and Conditions shall also apply to future business relations without VanSite having to refer to them again. If the User uses conflicting or supplementary General Terms and Conditions, their validity is hereby objected to; they shall only become an integral part of the contract if VanSite has expressly agreed to them.

Subject of the contract

The VanSite website is an online marketplace that allows registered hosts and guests of natural sites in Germany to get in touch, to publish ads on the online marketplace and to book the natural sites offered there by the hosts as well as to communicate among the users.VanSite creates, maintains and upholds the online marketplace, but does not itself actively act as an intermediary between the Users. VanSite is therefore not itself a contractual partner of the contracts concluded between the Users. For the execution of the contracts, only the legal provisions in the relationship between the Host and the Guest apply, as well as any General Terms and Conditions or Cancellation Terms and Conditions of the respective Users among themselves that may deviate from these. Unless VanSite itself is also a service provider, VanSite shall not be liable for the proper execution of any contracts between the Users.
