(2) Insofar as special services or performances are offered on the portal (e.g. user accounts, marketing of advertising banners), additional special terms of use may apply.

If services or performances of third parties are provided to the user via the portal, contractual relationships (e.g. in case of ticket purchase) arise only between the user and the third party.
