Terms and Conditions & Right of Withdrawal

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to voluntary, one-time support payments (“Support”) made on the website hrafn-wikinger.com (“Hrafn”) between the operator of Hrafn (see section 2) and consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB who are of legal age. Any deviating terms proposed by the user are rejected.

2. Recipient

The recipient of the Support is:

Hrafn Paul Windolf
Kolonnenstr. 8
10827 Berlin
Germany

Email: contact@hrafn-wikinger.com

For further details, please see our Imprint.

3. Description of Service

Hrafn offers all users free, freely accessible editorial content on Norse mythology, Viking history, and related topics. There is currently no paid membership and no tiered service levels.

Anyone who wishes to support the further development of Hrafn may voluntarily contribute a one-time amount of their choosing. This Support does not entitle the user to any additional services, memberships, or other benefits.

The Support is not a tax-deductible donation within the meaning of applicable donation law. No donation receipt can be issued.

4. Formation of Payment

The display of the support option on the website does not constitute a binding offer by Hrafn, but rather a non-binding invitation for the user to submit an offer. By entering an amount and confirming the “Support now” or “Support once” button, the user submits a binding offer to make a one-time, voluntary payment. The payment is concluded upon successful processing by the selected payment provider.

The payment transaction is not separately stored on our website and cannot be retrieved there afterwards; we recommend keeping the payment confirmation from the payment provider.

5. Payment Processing

Payment is made once, in an amount freely chosen by the user, either by credit card via the payment provider Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland) or via PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg). The terms of use of the respective selected payment provider apply in addition. No automatic repetition or renewal of the payment takes place.

6. Right of Withdrawal

The Support is a voluntary contribution without consideration, which is rendered immediately and in full upon successful payment. In our assessment, the statutory right of withdrawal for distance contracts (§ 312g BGB) generally does not apply to such a gratuitous contribution.

Regardless of this, you may contact us informally by email at contact@hrafn-wikinger.com at any time within 14 days of your payment if you wish to reverse a payment; in such cases we will consider a refund as a matter of goodwill, within reasonable limits.

7. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, as well as under the Product Liability Act. For slight negligence, we are only liable for breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance the other party may regularly rely; in this case, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Liability for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health remains unaffected.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the website or that its content is free of errors.

8. Changes to these Terms

We reserve the right to amend these Terms and the free scope of services of the website with effect for the future, insofar as this is necessary for good cause (e.g. changes in the legal situation, technical necessities). The version available on this page at the time of your payment shall apply.

9. Consumer Dispute Resolution

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR): https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

10. Final Provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which the consumer has their habitual residence remain unaffected. Should individual provisions of these Terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
