If you reference pages in your posts on the video platform, you are obligated to check these pages for possible legal violations at the time of linking to ensure that they are free of illegal content.

§10 Final provisions (applicable law, severability clause)

  1. The contract shall be exclusively subject to German law.
  2. Should individual clauses of the preceding terms and conditions be or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected.

The same applies accordingly to any loopholes.
