10. Final provisions

The legal relationships between RDUG and the user are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the UN Sales Convention. For consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer is habitually resident. The place of jurisdiction is Düren, insofar as the user is a merchant or a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if the user has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if his place of residence or habitual residence is not known at the time the lawsuit is filed. The authority to also call the court at another legal place of jurisdiction remains unaffected.
