General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Scope of the General Terms and Conditions

1. The following General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Memberspot GmbH (hereinafter "Memberspot") govern the legal relationship between Memberspot and the Admin who accesses the Memberspot Internet portal at "app.memberspot.de" (hereinafter "Portal" and "Portal Memberspot").
2. These GTC apply exclusively in relation to the Admin. The validity of the Admin's general terms and conditions of business, ordering or purchasing is expressly rejected.
3. These GTC only apply to users of the portal who are "admins" (in all roles, e.g. as "coach", "trainer" or "consultant"). These GTC do not apply to "Members". If a user is both an "Admin" and a "Member", these GTC apply to them as an "Admin" and the separate GTC applicable to them as a "Member".
4. The German version of these GTC shall take precedence over any other language version.

§ 2 Service description, technical conditions of use

1. The portal is a portal that enables member areas and on which an admin can interact with members, in particular in the form that the admins post videos, audios or text content for members. Depending on the circumstances, admins can be coaches, trainers or consultants. Further service descriptions and limits are set out in the individual contract. A detailed description can be found at https://www.memberspot.de/#pricing.
2. Memberspot may make changes and improvements to the portal, such as changes to the design and the addition of additional functions, provided that the contractually agreed services can continue to be used as a result.
3. Memberspot makes the portal available for use by the Admin in accordance with the provisions of these GTC and the terms and conditions agreed in individual contracts. The use of the portal by the Admin is technically carried out via a standard, up-to-date Internet browser. The portal is available to the extent described in § 6.
4. Which of the aforementioned services are made available to the Admin by Memberspot and to what extent is regulated in the individual contract agreed with the Admin. The admin has the option of requesting further services by sending an email to "info@memberspot.de" or via the internet portal "app.memberspot.de", specifying their member area.
5. Services not provided by Memberspot (in particular with regard to compliance with legal and tax requirements) are described in § 15.

§ 3 Exclusion of consumers

Contract offers are only permitted to entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 BGB. An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity; a partnership with legal capacity is a partnership with the ability to acquire rights and enter into obligations. A consumer, on the other hand, is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession.

§ 4 Conclusion of the contract for access to the portal by e-mail or outside the Internet ("offline"), commissioning of further services

The contract for access to the portal can be concluded by e-mail or outside the Internet ("offline"). In this case, the Admin will be provided with - possibly provisional - access data for using the portal. The Admin can also order additional services at a later date.

§ 5 Conclusion of the contract via "app.memberspot.de" ("online"), commissioning of further services

1. The contract for access to the portal can be applied for via the internet portal "app.memberspot.de" by completing and submitting the registration form. The admin can recognize any input errors in the registration form before submitting his application and correct them if necessary. If the admin registers via his/her e-mail address, he/she will be asked to confirm the accuracy of the e-mail address provided. The confirmation (so-called double opt-in procedure) is a prerequisite for activating access to the portal. The contract is concluded as soon as Memberspot technically activates access and informs the user of this, e.g. via a corresponding e-mail or a notice in the Internet browser.
2. The admin can subsequently apply for chargeable service packages via the "Tariffs" menu item. To do this, the Admin must select the desired service package, enter their billing and payment details and submit an offer to conclude a fee-based contract for access to the portal by sending the data. The Admin can recognize any input errors before submitting his contract declaration and before sending the contract offer and correct any input errors. The system accepts the contract offer. The admin receives an automatic confirmation of receipt of his contract offer from the system to the e-mail address he has provided (confirmation of receipt). The confirmation of receipt does not yet constitute acceptance of the contract offer. However, the contract offer is usually accepted at the same time as the confirmation of receipt, but if necessary by a separate e-mail to the Admin.
3. The admin can also order additional services via the portal at a later date. The system automatically confirms receipt of the admin's order for the additional service. As a rule, Memberspot also declares acceptance of the contract in this e-mail.
4. The information provided by the admin during registration must be complete and correct. Subsequent changes to the data (e.g. company, address, e-mail address) must be communicated to Memberspot immediately. If the admin culpably fails to meet these obligations, he/she must bear all disadvantages arising for the admin as a result.
5. The text of the contract is not stored by Memberspot after the contract has been concluded. Only the basic data relating to the contract (company, address, e-mail address, rough description of the services ordered) will be displayed within the portal for the duration of the contract. The admin also receives the text of the contract and these GTC by e-mail together with confirmation of receipt.
6. The language available for the conclusion of the contract is "German".
7. Memberspot is not subject to any special codes of conduct not mentioned above.

1. The admin undertakes to protect access to the portal account against unauthorized use by third parties. Access data (user ID and password) may not be passed on. The Admin shall be liable for any unauthorized use of his/her access data made possible by his/her conduct and the associated unauthorized use of his/her portal account, insofar as he/she is at fault. As soon as the Admin becomes aware that his/her access data has become accessible to third parties, he/she is obliged to change his/her password immediately. If this is not possible, Memberspot must be informed immediately.
2. Multiple registrations by an admin are prohibited. A separate contract for access to the portal is required for each company, including companies affiliated with the Admin, if it is to be used there.
3. An admin may set up an additional access to the portal for each of his employees without incurring additional remuneration (hereinafter "employee access"). The Admin can submit and manage the employee accesses in the portal himself. The Admin is obliged to obligate the Employees in accordance with the above No. 1 and in accordance with § 7 and § 8. Employees are only those persons who work for the Admin as employees or freelancers. If an employee leaves, the Admin must delete the employee access immediately. For clarification: Persons contractually employed by third parties, including companies affiliated with the Admin, are not employees of the Admin.
4. The portal account is not transferable.
5. Memberspot provides the portal for use as described in these GTC and in individual contracts and guarantees a technical availability of the portal of up to 99.99% per calendar year. The admin is only entitled to use the portal within the scope of the current state of the art. Memberspot may temporarily restrict the availability of Memberspot's services if this is necessary with regard to capacity limits, to carry out maintenance work or for security reasons. In doing so, Memberspot shall take into account the legitimate interests of the admin by informing them in advance of the access restrictions, insofar as the individual case permits (e.g. not in the case of any urgent security measures).

Sufficient suspicion exists in particular if Memberspot receives a warning from an alleged infringer, unless the warning is obviously unfounded, or if Memberspot becomes aware of investigations by state authorities. As far as possible, Memberspot will limit the blocking to the allegedly infringing content. The admin will be informed of the blocking immediately, stating the reasons. The blocking shall be reversed as soon as the suspicion is invalidated. The obligation to pay remuneration shall continue to exist even if the blocking is justified.

6.rights of use:

6.1. The admin assures that he has the rights to the content he has posted, insofar as this is necessary for the use of the content on the portal, in particular for storage and making it publicly accessible to members and other portal members as well as for the necessary reproductions.

6.2. The admin grants Memberspot a spatially and temporally unrestricted, transferable, sublicensable and free right of use to the content posted by him. The right of use includes in particular the right to store, reproduce, make publicly accessible and edit the content and remains independent of the contract (abstract right of use). The right of use serves to make the content accessible via the portal as intended, including the creation of data backups.

7. The admin is liable for the content posted by him and in this respect indemnifies Memberspot against all claims of third parties, including those of members and other portal members, which they assert against Memberspot due to such content. This applies in particular to legal violations due to the storage, publication, making available or passing on of the content via or in connection with the portal as well as any claims due to the content itself (e.g. with regard to its correctness, suitability, fitness and risks due to the implementation of recommendations). The Admin is obliged to compensate Memberspot for any damage incurred by Memberspot as a result of the assertion of such third-party claims, including the costs of a reasonable legal defense. This shall only apply if the Admin is at fault. The limitation period for Memberspot's right of indemnification against the Admin shall not commence until the relevant claim of the third party against Memberspot becomes due.

§ 8 General rules for the use of the portal

The Admin undertakes not to take any actions that could impair, damage or destroy the software or hardware or the performance of a Memberspot computer or a server used by Memberspot for the provision of services, in particular not to post any content containing malicious code, to send unsolicited e-mails ("spam") or to bring the portal or parts thereof to a standstill ("denial of service").

§ 9 Blocking

Memberspot may temporarily or permanently block the portal account, employee access or individual content posted by the admin or for the admin if it is suspected or has already been established that the admin is violating legal regulations or these GTC in a significant way, is violating the rights of third parties or Memberspot otherwise has a legitimate interest in blocking the account. Memberspot has a legitimate interest in blocking a portal account if the blocking is necessary to protect one or more other admins or other portal members, in particular if there is a suspicion that the account is being used for fraudulent or otherwise not only insignificantly damaging activities or if the admin has provided false contact details (grounds for suspicion). Blocking will be limited to the extent necessary. The portal account will only be permanently blocked in the event of particularly serious or repeated violations. The admin will be informed of the blocking immediately, stating the reasons. The blocking shall be reversed as soon as the reason for suspicion is invalidated. The obligation to pay remuneration shall continue to exist even in the event of a justified blocking.

Memberspot shall specifically point out the above approval effect to the Admin in the offer for the change.

§ 15 Limitations of liability, personal responsibility of the admin

The admin is responsible for complying with the legal provisions (including telemedia law (imprint), revocation instructions, data protection (including GDPR), competition law, general terms and conditions, e-commerce law) in his commercial business and his Internet presence. Memberspot is not permitted to provide legal advice under the Legal Services Act. Text fields provided by Memberspot via the portal for any legal explanations are to be designed by the admins on their own responsibility.
3. The admin can only demand compensation:

• for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, which are based on an intentional or negligent breach of duty by Memberspot or an intentional or negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent of Memberspot;
• for damages caused by an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by Memberspot or by an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by a legal representative of Memberspot, executive employees or vicarious agents;
• for damages resulting from the intentional or negligent breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) by Memberspot, a legal representative of Memberspot, executive employees or vicarious agents. Essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) are obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the admin regularly relies.
• for damages that fall within the scope of protection of a guarantee (assurance) expressly given by Memberspot or a guarantee of quality or durability;

In the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation due to simple negligence, Memberspot's liability is limited to the amount of damage typically foreseeable for Memberspot at the time of conclusion of the contract when exercising due care. This does not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, body or health.

Claims for damages by the admin in the event of a simple negligent breach of a material contractual obligation shall become time-barred one year after the statutory limitation period begins. This does not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health.

Claims for damages against Memberspot arising from mandatory statutory liability, for example under the Product Liability Act, remain unaffected by the above provisions and exist to the extent permitted by law within the statutory time limits.

Any strict liability of Memberspot for a defect existing at the time of conclusion of the contract pursuant to § 536a para. 1 Alt. 1 BGB (German Civil Code) is excluded, unless it is an expressly warranted characteristic or we have fraudulently concealed the defect.

§ Section 16 Data protection, conclusion of a data processing agreement

The Admin shall conclude the Data Processing Agreement (hereinafter also referred to as "DPA") between the Admin and Memberspot, which is available here ("https://www.memberspot.de/datenschutz") or attached as an annex, before the Admin enters personal data of third parties into the portal or otherwise processes them via the portal. The DPA can also be concluded in the member area of the portal.

§ Section 17 Severability clause

If one or more provisions of these GTC are or become invalid in whole or in part, or if these GTC contain a loophole, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these GTC.

§ Section 18 Choice of law, agreement on jurisdiction

1. The contract for access to the Memberspot portal, including these GTC, is subject to the substantive law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
2. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from and/or in connection with the contract and these GTC is the registered office of Memberspot, insofar as the Admin is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law or the Admin has no general place of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany or has relocated his place of jurisdiction abroad. As an exception to this, Memberspot is also entitled to take legal action against the Admin at his general place of jurisdiction. A merchant is any entrepreneur who is entered in the commercial register or who operates a commercial business and requires a commercially organized business operation. The Admin has its general place of jurisdiction abroad if it has its registered office abroad.
