Dispute resolution under the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act

The European Commission discontinued its online dispute resolution platform on 20 July 2025; a link is therefore no longer provided. We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Liability for content

As a service provider, we are responsible under § 7(1) DDG for our own content on these pages in accordance with general law. Under §§ 8 to 10 DDG, however, we as a service provider are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances indicating unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected by this. Liability in this respect is only possible from the point in time at which we become aware of a specific infringement; upon becoming aware of any such infringements, we will remove the content concerned immediately.

Note on third-party listings and events

The details of restaurants, cafés, shops, initiatives and organisations in the directory and the dates in the events calendar come predominantly from the businesses and organisations themselves or from publicly accessible sources. We review them editorially before approval but cannot guarantee that they are accurate, complete or up to date. A listing is not a recommendation, not a statement of quality and not a certificate. The rules for listings are set out in the listing guidelines.

No substitute for asking on site

Whether a dish is really vegan, what it costs, when a place is open and whether last year’s menu is still around – in the end, only the business itself knows. So please always ask directly on site or by phone about opening hours, prices, what’s on offer and whether something is free of certain ingredients or allergens. The classification as “fully vegan” or “with vegan selection” is also based on the information provided by the businesses.

Liability for links

Our site contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. We therefore cannot accept any guarantee for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal infringements at the time of linking; no unlawful content was identifiable. Permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without specific indications of an infringement. Upon becoming aware of infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

Copyright

The content and works created by the site operators on these pages are subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, editing, distribution and any kind of exploitation beyond the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are permitted only for private, non-commercial use. For private use – such as printing out a list for a walk around the city – we expressly grant this permission.

Map displays: © OpenStreetMap contributors, published under the Open Database License (ODbL). Images in the listings come from the respective businesses and organisations. Other image credits: the portal’s own graphics and logos.

Commercial communication

Partners and supporters of hauptstadt.net are labelled wherever they appear – with the words “Partner”, “Supporter”, “Topic partner”, “Founding partner”, “Campaign partner” or “Newsletter partner” and a link to the Partners page – never by colour or styling alone. The labelling applies to both parts of the portal, the Vegan and the Green Capital, and to every place it can appear: result lists, maps, detail pages, collections, guides and the newsletter.

Partnerships have no influence on the order in search, on the map or in recommendation lists, on filters and categories, on the editorial verification status, or on whether competitors are listed. What a partnership can include, and what is explicitly not for sale, is set out in full and in public on /en/partners. The basic listing is free of charge, permanently, for every place, project and business.

We do not currently use advertisements or affiliate links. Should that change, it will be described here and on /en/partners beforehand, and every affected place will be labelled accordingly.
