General terms and conditions

Last updated: May 2026

§ 1 Scope

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) govern the use of the platform and all legal relationships established through it between the platform operator and the registered suppliers, subcontractors and referral partners. Conflicting terms of users apply only upon express written confirmation.

§ 2 Role of the platform / contracts between users

The platform is a pure intermediary and information service. Contracts on the offered services and conditions are concluded exclusively between supplier and subcontractor, not with the platform operator. The operator does not become a party to these transactions.

§ 3 Registration, activation and account

Use of the authenticated area requires registration and activation by the operator. Information must be kept truthful and up to date. The account holder is responsible for keeping access data confidential and for actions of the users they create.

§ 4 Obligations and responsibility of suppliers

Suppliers are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness and legal admissibility of their offerings. Published conditions must be actually available and bindingly calculated. The operator does not check offerings for substantive correctness.

§ 5 Orders and contract initiation

By submitting an order, the subcontractor makes a binding request/offer to the supplier. The contract is concluded only upon acceptance by the supplier. Until then there is no entitlement to conclusion.

§ 6 Commission and approval of offerings

The operator mediates against a commission agreed with the supplier. If the commission of an offering deviates from the agreement, the operator may withhold the offering from publication pending approval. Supplier agreements via referral partners become effective only after review by the operator.

§ 7 Availability of the platform

The operator endeavours to ensure high availability but does not owe uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, disruptions or force majeure may lead to temporary restrictions. There is no claim to constant availability.

§ 8 Rights of use and permitted use

Users may use the platform only within its intended purpose. Automated scraping, circumvention of access restrictions, posting of unlawful content and any abusive use are prohibited. The operator may block accounts in the event of violations.

§ 9 Liability

The operator is not liable for the conclusion or performance of contracts between supplier and subcontractor, nor for the substantive accuracy of offerings. Otherwise, the operator is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body and health; in case of slight negligence only for breach of essential contractual obligations and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

§ 10 Data protection

The processing of personal data is governed by the privacy policy. Users undertake to comply with the applicable data protection provisions on their part.

§ 11 Amendments to the GTC

The operator may amend these GTC with effect for the future. Amendments are communicated to users in an appropriate form; if a user does not object within the notified period, the amended terms are deemed accepted.

§ 12 Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction is, where legally permissible, the registered office of the platform operator. Should individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
