Legal notice
Information about the provider of openpawn.org, as required by § 5 of the German Digital Services Act (DDG), Article 5 of the EU e-commerce directive (2000/31/EC) and Articles 11 and 12 of the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065).
Provider
The company named above provides openpawn.org. In our legal texts, “OpenPawn”, “we” and “us” always mean that company.
OpenPawn writes its legal texts in English. The English version is the original, and the versions in other languages are translations for your convenience. If a translation differs from the English or is unclear, the English version applies; where the meaning is in doubt, the reading more favourable to you as a consumer prevails.
Contact point under the Digital Services Act
The contact point named at the top of this page is our single point of contact for the authorities of the Member States, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services (Art. 11 DSA), and for everyone who uses OpenPawn (Art. 12 DSA). It is answered by people, not by an automated system.
Authorities can write to us in English or in an official language of the Member State where OpenPawn is established. Everyone else can write in English or in any language the site is offered in.
How to report illegal content, and how we decide on reports and appeals, is explained in the terms of use.
Consumer disputes
OpenPawn is neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. If something goes wrong, please write to us first; we answer every message.
Links to other sites
We link to sites run by others, such as Lichess, Chess.com and FIDE. Those sites are responsible for their own content. If we learn that a link leads to something illegal, we remove the link.
