Terms of Use

1.1. These Terms of Use apply to the use of the platform's publicly accessible and registered functions.

1.2. For users who hold a user account and for advertisers, the General Terms and Conditions apply in addition. For the content of listings and trader profiles, the Listing Rules also apply. In the event of a conflict, the General Terms and Conditions prevail for users who hold a user account and for advertisers.

1.3. The Privacy Policy explains the processing of personal data and does not form part of these Terms of Use.

2.1. The platform may be used to search for listings, to contact advertisers about a specific listing, and to publish listings of your own.

2.2. Platform content may be viewed and saved for personal, non-commercial use. Any use beyond that requires prior written consent.

3.1. The use of automated means — in particular crawlers, bots, scripts or scraping tools — to systematically extract, reproduce or re-use platform content is not permitted unless expressly authorised.

3.2. Acts liable to impair the availability, integrity or security of the platform are not permitted, in particular attempts to overload it, circumventing access restrictions, and exploiting security vulnerabilities.

3.3. Creating user accounts using false information, creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, and assuming another person's identity are not permitted.

3.4. Using contact details obtained via the platform for advertising, bulk messaging or any purpose other than pursuing the specific transaction is not permitted.

3.5. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it using the contact details in the Imprint rather than exploiting or publishing it.

4.1. The contact function is intended solely for communication about a specific listing. Advertising, third-party offers and messages unrelated to the listing are not permitted.

4.2. Messages may be examined in order to investigate abuse reports and to comply with legal obligations. The details are set out in the Privacy Policy.

5.1. Pedalia is not a party to any transaction and verifies neither the identity of users nor the items listed. Buying and selling are at your own risk.

5.2. We recommend inspecting the item in person before buying, checking the frame number, and obtaining a receipt.

5.3. Be cautious with offers priced well below market value, with demands for advance payment, with requests to pay by unusual means, and with messages pressing you to communicate outside the platform.

5.4. Pedalia will never ask you by email or message to disclose passwords or complete payment details.

6.1. Listings and user accounts can be reported using the reporting function provided for that purpose, or using the contact details given in the Imprint, where there are concrete indications of unlawful content or of a breach of the contract terms applicable to Pedalia.

6.2. Pedalia reviews reports and decides whether a measure is necessary. The requirements listings must meet, the possible moderation measures, and the procedure for giving reasons for and reviewing such decisions are set out in the Listing Rules and the General Terms and Conditions.

6.3. Pedalia may use automated procedures to detect possible infringements and submit them for review. A decision that removes a listing, restricts its visibility, or suspends a user account for such an infringement is not taken on a solely automated basis.

6.4. Where Pedalia receives information giving rise to a suspicion of an offence that endangers or could endanger a person's life or safety, Pedalia informs the competent authorities.

7.1. There is no entitlement to uninterrupted availability of the platform. Maintenance and technical faults may lead to temporary restrictions.

7.2. Pedalia may further develop, change or discontinue the platform's technical design and any features that are not promised as a specific contractual service. Changes to agreed services and contract terms are governed by the General Terms and Conditions.

8.1. In the event of breaches of these Terms of Use, individual features may be restricted, content removed, or user accounts suspended. The measure chosen depends on the seriousness of the breach and whether it is repeated.

8.2. The affected user is informed of a restrictive measure and its reason where the measure is based on content they provided or on a breach of these Terms of Use. The procedures described in the General Terms and Conditions and the Listing Rules apply to giving reasons for and reviewing decisions, and to complaints.
