+        A few days ago we went live with nopaque. Right now nopaque is still in
+        its Beta phase. So some bugs are to be expected. If you encounter any
+        bugs or some feature is not working as expected please send as an email
+        using the feedback button at the botton of the page in the footer!
+      </p>
+      <p>We are happy to help you with any issues and will use the feedback to
+      fix all mentioned bugs!</p>
