1) Basic principles and subject matter of the contract

If you have not yet created a customer account, create one. You will then find the item "The reference programme" in your account area.

The provider of the affiliate programme is Hangstufen.de - Ulrich M. Wilhelm, hereinafter referred to as the Advertiser. The website operator (i.e. you) is hereinafter referred to as the Partner or Affiliate. The Advertiser pays the Partner remuneration in the form of a commission for advertising the Advertiser's products.


2) Partner

Partners can be private website operators or commercially active website operators. There is no entitlement to admission to the partner programme. Prerequisite for participation in the partner programme is the admission of the partner by the advertiser as well as the acceptance of these terms of use.

After admission to the partner programme, the partner has access to the menu item "The reference programme" in his account. Here the partner will find, among other things, the link to these terms of use under the menu item "Payment data".


3) Customers of the Advertiser

Participation in the Partner Programme does not result in the Advertiser's customers becoming customers of the Partner. The Partner does not maintain any contact with the Advertiser's customers; should one of the Advertiser's customers contact the Partner in a matter related to interaction with the Advertiser's website, the Partner will advise the customer to contact the Advertiser.


4) Liability for website content

The Partner assures that its page/domain containing references, explanations, advertising banners or links to Hangstufen.de contains all legally required data/components (imprint, etc.) and does not violate German law or morality. The Partner is not permitted to engage in unfair advertising with the Hangstufen.de domain (this includes false promises, keywords, website descriptions, but also spams, trademark and title protection violations).

For such violations, the advertiser reserves the right to pass on all partner data to injured third parties or their representatives for the purpose of clarifying possible legal violations.

The Advertiser is not liable for the form or content of partner websites containing references, explanations, advertising banners or links to Hangstufen.de and hereby expressly distances itself from all content of partner websites. Each partner is responsible for these contents and forms of its website. The Advertiser reserves the right, in the event that it does not agree with the form or content of the partner's website, to terminate the partner connection with immediate effect and to immediately terminate all legal and technical connections with this partner.

In addition, the partner indemnifies the advertiser against all claims, damages and costs that third parties make against the advertiser due to violations of legal provisions or these terms of use (in the case of external liability as joint tortfeasor).

In the case of newsletter dispatch, this is only permitted to recipient lists with double opt-in addresses (DOI addresses), i.e. the recipient must have expressly given consent to receive e-mail advertising. The partner must ensure that DOI proof can be provided in case of doubt. Each newsletter must contain a complete imprint and an unsubscribe link.


5) Advertising material

The Advertiser shall provide the Affiliate with the following advertising material:

a) Three different reference links
b) QR code
c) Four banners with code.

The Partner is obliged to use exclusively the advertising material provided and approved by the Advertiser to promote the partner programme. These advertising materials may neither be changed nor used for other partner programmes or other advertising services.

The partner is responsible for the correct integration of the advertising material. This also serves to ensure correct billing.


6) Remuneration

The partner can see in his account at any time how much commission he has already earned. The amount of commission is 10% for purchases made and paid for by customers, based on the value of the goods. No commission is paid for shipping costs.

If the customer revokes or otherwise cancels his purchase, the commission will be reversed. In order to ensure a successful chargeback, payment can be made at the earliest 14 days after the commission has been credited.

To ensure a correct payment of the commission, the partner must deposit his account details (PayPal or bank) in his account.

Amounts will only be paid out from a commission sum of 100€. Requested payouts must be requested from the advertiser.

The payment is made in the form of a credit note.

All commissions earned from the partner programme must be reported by the partner to the responsible tax office.


7) Limitation of liability

The advertiser accepts no liability for the loss of data entered by the partner. The Advertiser is liable exclusively for intentional or grossly negligent misconduct and for damages arising from injury to life, limb and health.

Any liability is limited to the typically foreseeable damage. Any further liability for consequential damage or loss of profit is excluded.

The Advertiser is not liable for the accessibility of the Partner or its websites on the Internet or for server failures or other failures of the connections to the Partner programme.


8) Term and termination

The contract is concluded for an indefinite period. The Advertiser as well as the Partner may terminate this agreement at any time without notice by email, fax, letter or in text form.

Upon termination of this agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties, including all licences/rights of use granted in connection with this agreement, in particular with regard to the advertising material provided, shall expire.


9) Amendment of the Conditions of Participation

Changes are possible at any time. They shall be announced with a notice period of two weeks and communicated to the partners. If no express written objection is made within six weeks, the new conditions shall be deemed accepted.


10) Severability clause

Should individual provisions of these terms and conditions be or become invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

In place of the ineffective parts, such a provision shall be deemed to have been agreed which, within the scope of what is legally permissible, comes closest to the meaning and purpose of the ineffective provision and to the interests of the parties involved.


11) Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

The legal relationship governed by these terms of use is exclusively subject to German law with the exception of the provisions of international private law. If the Partner is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law or has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the courts in Augsburg shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
