7. compensation
(1) The contractual partner shall receive performance-based remuneration from us for sales made on our website by partner leads.
(2) The right to payment of remuneration shall arise only under the following conditions:
- through the advertising activity of the partner, a sale of an end customer with us has come about,
- the sale has been logged (“tracked”) by us,
- the sale has been approved and confirmed by us and
- there is no misuse within the meaning of sec. 6.3 of these GTC.
(3) A sale shall be deemed to be a fully completed order generated on our website by an end customer, which has also been paid for by the end customer. Returns – for any reason whatsoever – shall not be deemed to be Sale if the End Customer has not paid or if any payments made by him are refunded. Reversals that occur more than 8 weeks after payment by the end customer are not considered.
(4) Orders placed by the Partner are not subject to remuneration.
(5) Orders that come about as a result of partner leads generated via partner websites or other advertising space, where we have requested the partner to remove the advertising material, are not subject to remuneration. This applies from the date of the call.

Unless otherwise specified in the partner program or in individual campaigns, the “Last Cookie Wins” principle applies with a cookie term of 60 days. We shall not be liable for payment if and insofar as the tracking system fails or another malfunction is caused which means that leads or sales cannot be assigned to individual partners or can only be assigned with considerable effort.
(7) The amount of the remuneration shall be based on the commission stated in the respective campaign at the time of the sale. Unless otherwise specified, a commission of 10% of the net price of the respective sale applies.
(8) All stated commissions are net fees and are paid plus value added tax.
8. settlement
(1) We will provide the Partner with a statement of remuneration claims in its customer account. The Partner will check the settlement without delay. If the partner has objections to a settlement, these must be asserted to us in writing within four weeks. After the expiry of this period, the statement is considered to be accurate.
(2) Remuneration claims shall become due for payment one month after the end of the month in which the end customer’s receipt of payment for the sale in question falls. Remuneration claims are only due when a minimum payment amount of 50 euros has been reached. The Partner shall have the right to demand even lower amounts against reimbursement of a flat-rate processing fee of 5. The fee will be withheld from the amount to be paid.
(3) Payment shall be made by bank transfer with debt-discharging effect to the bank details deposited by the Partner in the customer account. Any bank charges (e.g. for bank accounts abroad) shall be borne by the partner.
9. liability
(1) Unlimited liability: We shall be liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as in accordance with the Product Liability Act. We shall be liable for slight negligence in the event of damage resulting from injury to life, limb and health of persons.
(2) In all other respects, the following limited liability shall apply: In the event of slight negligence, we shall only be liable in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation, the fulfillment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the fulfillment of which the partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligation). The liability for slight negligence is limited to the amount of damages foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected.
(3) We shall have no further liability.
(4) The above limitation of liability shall also apply to the personal liability of our employees, representatives and bodies.
10. indemnification claim/contractual penalty
(1) The Partner shall indemnify us and our employees or agents against all claims by third parties arising from alleged or actual infringement and/or violation of third party rights by actions taken by the Partner in connection with the Partner Program.

Further claims for damages shall remain unaffected by this provision.

12. confidentiality
(1) The Partner undertakes to keep secret all knowledge of our trade and business secrets or other confidential information obtained within the framework of the contractual relationship for an unlimited period of time (even beyond the end of this contract), to use it only for the purposes of the contract and in particular not to pass it on to third parties or otherwise exploit it. If information is designated by us as confidential, there is an irrebuttable presumption that it is a trade or business secret.
(2) The content of this Agreement and the documents pertaining thereto, as well as any agreement reached, in particular with regard to remuneration, shall be treated confidentially by the Partner (as a trade and business secret).
(3) The Partner shall obligate its employees and other persons whom it uses to fulfill its contractual obligations to maintain confidentiality in a manner corresponding to the above paragraphs 1 and 2.

(1) The contract shall run for an indefinite period and may be terminated by either party at any time without notice and without stating reasons.
(2) In addition and beyond this, the right of the parties to terminate the contractual relationship by extraordinary termination for good cause shall remain unaffected. For us, good cause entitling us to extraordinary termination exists in particular in the following cases:
- serious breach by the Partner of obligations under this Agreement, in particular a breach of sec. 6.2, 6.4, and/or 6.9,
- Breach of obligations under this Agreement and failure to remedy or cease the breach despite our request to do so,
- a case of abuse within the meaning of para. 6.3.

A notice of termination declared by us by e-mail shall be deemed to have been received on the day on which it is sent to the e-mail address specified by the Partner in the customer account. We may also declare termination by restricting access to the customer account. The Partner may also declare the termination by deleting the customer account. The contract is terminated upon receipt of the notice of termination.
(4) After termination of the contract, the Partner is obligated to immediately remove all advertising materials and other links and content from us from the Partner Website. This also applies to websites or other advertising media in which the Partner has integrated the advertising media or links without being authorized to do so.
(5) Leads and/or sales generated after termination of the contract shall not result in an obligation to pay remuneration.
(6) Instead of termination, we may in the cases of sec. 13.2 also block the customer account. This shall also apply if there is only a reasonable suspicion of misuse in accordance with §§ 3 and 4 of the German Civil Code (HGB). Digit. 6.3 exists. We will inform the Partner of the reason for the block and will lift the block again when the reasons that led to the block have been clarified and, if necessary, eliminated. Leads generated during the period of the block do not result in an obligation to pay remuneration.
13. final provisions
(1) Should the contract contain invalid provisions, the validity of the rest of the contract shall remain unaffected.
(2) We reserve the right to amend these GTC at any time. Any changes will be communicated to the Partner by e-mail. If the Partner does not agree with the changes, it is entitled to notify us of this within two weeks of receipt of the change notification. We have a special right of termination in this case. If such notification is not made within this period, the amendments shall be deemed accepted and shall enter into force upon expiry of the period.
(3) The present contract shall be governed exclusively by German law.
(4) If the Partner is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the local court of Freiburg is agreed as the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with contracts between us and the Partner.
