Legal / Website use

Terms of use

This website is an independent educational resource about chocolate collections, production context and tasting experiences.

Operator and scope

The website is operated by Snapshotottertrov Genuss GmbH, Marktstraße 23, 70173 Stuttgart, Germany; Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 791462. Contact: [email protected].

These terms concern access to the published information and browser-based tools. The site does not sell chocolate, offer reservations, issue tickets or enter into tasting bookings. References to makers and venues do not create a commercial relationship between you and those organisations.

Editorial information

Content is intended for general education, not as personalised food-safety, medical, legal or travel advice. We aim for clear, useful explanations, but information can become incomplete or outdated. Sensory examples describe possible perceptions rather than guaranteed flavours or objective rankings.

Confirm current opening hours, programmes, access, languages and admission conditions with a venue’s official source. We are not affiliated with the museums, manufacturers or educational organisations mentioned unless expressly stated. Names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Food safety and dietary requirements

Read the responsible manufacturer’s current ingredients, allergen and storage information. Do not infer product safety from colour, cacao percentage, sensory descriptions or the absence of a particular flavour. Ask venues about cross-contact and participation requirements before attending. If a sample’s condition or suitability is uncertain, do not taste it.

The message composer

The contact tool prepares plain text locally in your browser. It does not transmit a message, store a permanent draft or guarantee that an email will reach us. Copying and downloading are actions you initiate. Review the text before sharing it, and use your own email application if you choose to send it.

You are responsible for protecting downloaded files and clipboard contents on your device. Browser features or permissions may affect availability. The tool may be unavailable without JavaScript, but the email address remains accessible as an alternative contact route.

Permitted use and intellectual property

You may read the site, link to its pages and make personal study notes. Copyright and other applicable rights protect original text and design. Uses beyond statutory exceptions or an applicable licence require permission from the relevant rights holder. Do not imply endorsement, misrepresent authorship or use the site to distribute unlawful material.

Do not attempt to interfere with website operation, circumvent access controls or misuse contact channels. Nothing in these terms prevents uses permitted by mandatory law.

External services

External links are provided as research routes. Their operators control their content, availability, terms and data practices. A link is not a guarantee of accuracy, a certification of a business or an assurance that a described experience is currently offered.

Liability and statutory rights

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for intent, gross negligence or culpable injury to life, body or health. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected. Any otherwise applicable limitation must be interpreted only to the extent permitted by law.

Questions and corrections

Report a factual problem through the contact page, identifying the relevant passage and source. Website content and these terms may be revised as the service develops. For personal data handling, consult the privacy policy.
