§ 2 Definitions

The following definitions apply within the scope of these terms and conditions:

(1) Advertiser: any natural person of legal age, working as a freelancer, or legal entity that is an existing customer of sharemagazines; the customer status must be mandatory at the time of the advertising action; neither the advertiser nor their relatives may be employees or cooperation partners of sharemagazines at the time of the advertising action; cooperation partners are all business partners of sharemagazines with whom cooperation partner agreements/or contracts have been concluded.

(2) Advertising action: any action by which the advertiser transmits an individual voucher code generated by sharemagazines to a third party (advertising addressee) who is not registered as a customer with sharemagazines at this time; sharemagazines allows – subject to the cases of § 6 of these terms and conditions – all advertising channels (e.g. SEA, Facebook, e-mail etc.); however, the advertiser must independently ensure that he does not violate these terms and conditions or applicable law in the advertising action.

(3) successful advertising: exists if a third party registers as a new customer with sharemagazines in a causal and technically comprehensible sequence of an advertising action, in particular through the transmission of the personalized voucher code, pays the remuneration claim due to sharemagazines after the free trial month and does not terminate the contract within three months after conclusion of the contract; it is pointed out that sharemagazines is not obliged to register the recommended third party as a new customer, so that the advertiser does not acquire a claim to the bonus in the event of a rejected registration.

(4) Advertised/new customer: any natural or legal person who becomes a new customer of sharemagazines as a result of successful advertising and has never been listed as a customer of sharemagazines in the past; the advertiser’s remuneration claim for the advertising (bonus) only arises if the advertised third party actually becomes a new customer within the meaning of this definition; only legal entities or natural persons who work as freelancers can become customers or new customers of sharemagazines.

(5) Bonus: remuneration that sharemagazines offers to the advertiser and the advertised for each successful advertising; the bonus for the advertiser is offset against the next possible invoice; the bonus for the advertised is credited to the next possible invoice.

(6) Existing customers: customers who have paid at least one monthly fee and are no longer in the trial month.

§ 3 Advertising Process

(1) The advertising action may – subject to the restrictions in § 6 of these terms and conditions – be carried out via all advertising channels (e.g. social media, email etc.).

(2) The advertiser can make his personal voucher code available to third parties (e.g. via social media, on his own website, in his own newsletter etc.)

§ 4 Data Protection

(1) If the new customer sends a request to sharemagazines via the sharemagazines website with the personal voucher code, sharemagazines will save it. The assignment is made to the advertiser via the individual voucher code.

(2) sharemagazines undertakes to treat the personal data of the new customer confidentially in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and, during the contractual relationship, to collect, process, store and use it only for the purposes of contract execution without further express consent. Details can be found in the sharemagazines privacy policy.

§ 5 Remuneration Claim, Remuneration Conditions, Forfeiture and Recovery

(1) In the event of successful advertising of a new customer, the advertiser acquires a remuneration claim (bonus) against sharemagazines. sharemagazines decides independently on inclusion in the customer base of the recommended new customer. A claim to the bonus does not arise if sharemagazines refuses the inclusion of the recommended new customer – for whatever reason. sharemagazines reserves the right to change the bonus amount at any time. The amount of the bonus is a one-time payment of €25.00 per paying location of one or more customers. Within a group of companies, no customers/locations can be won. In this respect, no effective remuneration claim arises.

(2) Special promotional offers may be excluded from the “recruit business customers” program. A payout or a bonus exchange is not possible.

(3) The remuneration claim only becomes due when all conditions of successful advertising within the meaning of § 2 paragraph 3 of these terms and conditions are met.

(4) The bonus is paid to the advertiser by offsetting it against the next possible invoice. A maximum of one bonus credit of €25.00 per billing month can be made per invoice on the tariff of the digital reading circle. Any remaining bonus amount will be transferred by sharemagazines to the following billing period or the following billing periods; In the event of termination of the contract before all possible bonus claims have been offset, there is no claim to a payout. The bonus is paid to the advertised by means of a credit note on the next possible invoice.

(5) If the new customer contests the contract with sharemagazines or terminates it by extraordinary termination, the advertiser’s claim to the bonus expires, provided that sharemagazines can demonstrate and prove that the reason for the termination of the contract by the new customer is solely the responsibility of the advertiser (e.g. in the event of proven deception by the advertiser). In the event of forfeiture of a bonus that has already been paid out, this must be reimbursed to sharemagazines by means of a transfer. The advertiser is the debtor of the full bonus amount.

§ 6 Obligations of the Advertiser

(1) The advertiser is obliged to adhere to these terms and conditions and the other contractual conditions as well as applicable law in all actions related to the advertising of new customers. In the event of contact with the advertising addressee, the advertiser permits sharemagazines to make a named reference to the advertiser. The mass sending of recommendation emails (spam) is expressly prohibited.

(2) The advertiser must ensure that the advertising addressee is a legal entity or a natural person who works as a freelancer. He must also ensure that the new customer advertising is based neither on deception nor on any other impermissible influence on the will. Within the scope of standard commercial care, the advertiser must also take suitable measures to avoid misrepresentations that could lead to a termination, rescission or other termination of the contract with sharemagazines by the advertising addressee.

(3) sharemagazines attaches great importance to a reputable image. The advertiser is therefore prohibited from using advertising channels whose content violates applicable law or morality.

Such sanctioning measures shall be considered in particular if the advertiser violates these terms and conditions of participation, other contractual terms and conditions or applicable law in connection with the acquisition of new customers, or if there is a suspicion of misuse of the “Business Customers Recruit Business Customers” program by the advertiser. The respective sanctioning measure does not have to be justified by sharemagazines. There is no legal claim to the provision of such justification.

(2) The contractual relationship between sharemagazines and the advertiser (location contract) remains unaffected by the sanctioning measure within the meaning of paragraph 1.

§ 8 Violation of Third-Party Rights

Each existing customer must independently ensure that it does not violate any third-party rights within the scope of new customer acquisition and complies with all contractual and other statutory obligations (including these terms and conditions of participation). The existing customer shall indemnify sharemagazines against all claims of third parties that they may assert against sharemagazines due to its unlawful conduct. This also includes the reasonable costs of legal defense, in particular the court and attorney fees in their statutory amount.

In any case, however, the existing customer is obliged to inform sharemagazines immediately, completely and truthfully in the event of a possible claim by third parties and to provide all information necessary for verification and defense.

§ 9 Term and Reservation of Amendment and Corresponding Application
