Please add a phone number above, or note your alternative channel.]

5. Packaging Act (VerpackG) — LUCID Registration

[NOTE TO MERCHANT: do not omit — this is a separate, mandatory legal requirement for anyone shipping packaged goods, such as boxed perfume bottles, to consumers in Germany, and is unrelated to the Shopify default template you started from.]

8. Liability for Content

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with general law. We are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information, or to investigate circumstances indicating unlawful activity, and any obligation to remove or block content under general law remains unaffected. Liability in this respect arises only from the point at which a concrete infringement becomes known to us; we will remove or block such content promptly upon becoming aware of it.

9. Liability for Links

Our site may contain links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence, and for which we accept no liability; responsibility lies with the respective provider or operator of the linked page. Linked pages were checked for identifiable legal violations at the time of linking. Permanent monitoring of linked content without concrete evidence of a violation is not reasonable; we will remove any such link promptly upon becoming aware of an infringement.

10. Copyright
