The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (UN Sales Convention) as well as of reference norms is excluded. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Vienna.

The place of performance is the registered office of MeetIRL.
Attention is drawn to the possibility of settling disputes via an online dispute resolution platform ((Art 14 (1) sentence 1 of the ODR Regulation)) and national consumer arbitration boards. MeetIRL is willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
