Complaint management / duty to provide information on online dispute resolution
Since February 15, 2016, the EU commission has provided a platform for resolving disputes out of court, which we offer to our users and consumers. It gives consumers the possibility of first clarifying disputes in connection with our online offering without resort to a court of law. The online dispute resolution platform can be reached under the external link http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. In this connection, we refer you to our e-mail address. It is info@pythagoras.com. We endeavor to settle any disputes under our contract amicably. Moreover, we are not obligated to participate in conciliation proceedings and can also not offer you the option of participating in such proceedings.
Cookie Policy
The website operator hereby notifies users about the use of cookies or similar storage technologies (hereinafter referred to as “cookies”) on this website.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which the web browser places on the user’s device in order to store certain information. The next time our website is called from the same device, the information stored in the cookies is sent back to our website (first-party cookie) or another website to which the cookie belongs (third-party cookie).
On the basis of the information that is stored in the cookie and sent back, the website in question recognizes that users have already called and visited it using the web browser on their device. We use this information so that the way in which the website is displayed can be tailored ideally to suit the user’s preferences.
However, only the cookie itself is identified on the device. Personal data above and beyond that is stored only if users have given us their explicit consent to that or if it is absolutely necessary to store that data so that they can use the service that is offered and called.
Consent to the use of cookies
Cookies that are not strictly necessary for delivering the services on this website are used only subject to consent. Users consent to the use of cookies by continuing to use this website actively after the cookie banner has been displayed.
