Disclaimer: We strive for accuracy but assume no liability for completeness, timeliness, or correctness of the information provided here pursuant to § 7 para. 1 TMG.

​

2. Applicable Law & Jurisdiction All interactions with this website, SYN//Λ29, and related content are governed exclusively by German law, excluding the UN Sales Convention (CISG). This choice of law complies with applicable EU regulations and does not restrict mandatory consumer rights in the respective home country.

​

2.1 B2B Disputes All disputes arising from business-to-business (B2B) interactions are subject to binding arbitration under the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Karlsruhe, Germany. Arbitration awards are final, binding, and enforceable in over 160 countries under the New York Convention (1958). By engaging with LePierre Publishing in a B2B capacity, you irrevocably waive the right to litigate in any other forum. This clause complies with § 1031 ZPO.

​

2.2 B2C Disputes For disputes with consumers (B2C), all mandatory consumer protection rights under applicable law remain intact, including the Brussels Ia Regulation (EU) No. 1215/2012 and EU Regulation 524/2013 (ODR Platform). Claims may be brought at the consumer’s place of residence. We participate in the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform. All statutory consumer rights, including the right of withdrawal, remain fully preserved.

​

2.3 Dynamic Legal Adaptation References to legal provisions apply to their current version, including future amendments. Users will be notified of material changes via email (if provided) or prominent website notices to ensure compliance with § 308 No. 5 BGB and avoid unreasonable disadvantages.

​

3. Acceptance of Terms (Effective Incorporation of T&Cs through Active Consent) These terms become binding only upon your active acceptance by checking the designated box during the purchase process, account creation, or download. The checkbox reads: “I accept the Terms and Conditions, including the cancellation policy, data protection notice, and jurisdiction clauses. I understand that this agreement is legally binding and that my consent is logged tamper-proof.” Non-acceptance prevents transaction completion, ensuring informed consent under § 312i BGB.

​

3.1 Tamper-Proof Logging & AI Monitoring

• Server-side logging: Every consent is logged with an exact timestamp (UTC), pseudonymized IP address (post-verification), user-agent, the exact wording of the accepted clause, and a SHA-256 cryptographic hash for manipulation-proof integrity.

• AI analysis: Customer communication and transactions are scanned for compliance using AI tools under mandatory human oversight. No employee may bypass the system without documented managerial approval. AI systems are low-risk per EU AI Regulation (see Section 6.6).

• Data retention: Logs are stored for 10 years per § 257 HGB and securely deleted thereafter unless required for ongoing disputes (GDPR Art. 5(1)(e)). To deter baseless claims, logs are admissible in disputes, and we reserve the right to seek cost reimbursement for unjustified actions under § 823 BGB or § 91 ZPO.

 

4. Right of Withdrawal – 100% BGB-Compliant with AI Enforcement and Cancellation Button Per BGH ruling I ZR 161/24 (May 22, 2025), we provide a prominent “Cancellation Button” on www.syna29.com for easy exercise of the right of withdrawal for e-book purchases (§ 312k BGB). The button, labeled “Exercise Cancellation,” leads to a barrier-free confirmation page.

​

4.1 For Digital Products (E-Books)

• Right of withdrawal: You have 14 days from contract conclusion to withdraw without reason (§ 355 BGB).

• Expiration of right: The right expires only after you explicitly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge loss of the withdrawal right upon download (§ 356 para. 5 BGB). You are informed of this prior to contract conclusion.

• Consent process: Before download, you must confirm via checkbox: “I consent to immediate contract performance and acknowledge that I lose my right of withdrawal upon downloading the digital content.” This is logged tamper-proof.

• Refund policy: If withdrawn before download, a full refund (€19.90 or USD 19.90) is issued within 72 hours via the original payment method. After download, withdrawal is not possible, but discretionary solutions are reviewed case-by-case.

 

4.2 For Physical Products (Hardcover Books via Amazon)

• Right of withdrawal: For hardcovers purchased via Amazon, you have 14 days from receipt to withdraw (§ 355 BGB).

6.6 AI-Specific Transparency (EU AI Regulation) AI systems for compliance scans and request handling are low-risk per EU AI Regulation (Regulation 2024/1689). Requirements met:

• Transparency & explainability: AI uses rule-based keyword matching and supervised ML on anonymized datasets. Summaries (e.g., “Flags legal keywords; human approves output”) are provided for Art. 15 DSGVO requests, respecting trade secrets (AI Regulation Art. 50).

• Human oversight: Mandatory, logged tamper-proof. Annual audits confirm fairness (AI Regulation Art. 15).

Intellectual property rights (copyrights, trademarks) are vested in Pierre Hahn personally and/or LePierre Publishing as an independent imprint, unaffected by corporate changes (§ 103 InsO).
