7.1 Get.me guarantees a network availability ("connectivity") of the platform of 98% per calendar quarter. Excluded from the guaranteed availability are the downtimes and reduced availabilities described below. These shall be considered as proper service provision and shall not be counted as time affecting availability:
7.1.1 Planned, previously announced downtimes (especially for maintenance purposes) daily between 00:00 and 06:00 and on Sundays from 00:00 to 24:00;
7.1.2 downtimes for which Get.me is not responsible, in which the accessibility of the platform is impaired due to technical or other problems (e.g. force majeure, fault of third parties including DDoS attacks, etc.), insofar as Get.me was unable to prevent these even taking into account customary market standards.
7.2 Get.me may also restrict access to the platform and the services accessible via it outside the maintenance windows if the security of the platform operation, the maintenance of the network integrity, in particular the avoidance of serious disruptions of the network, the underlying software or stored data require this, without the user incurring any rights as a result.
8.1 Get.me reserves the right to transfer parts of its obligations to third parties.
8.2 The platform may contain products or services of third parties or refer to them. This assumes that the user has agreed to a corresponding integration. Get.me assumes neither responsibility nor liability of any kind for the accessibility or content of third parties.
Get.me is committed to the responsible use of its users' data, please see our privacy policy for more information on how we process our users' data.
Get.me is entitled to block the account of a registered user if there is a suspicion that he might have violated these terms and conditions. If the suspicion is confirmed at Get.me's discretion, the account can be deleted. A right of deletion exists in particular in the event of a violation of Part I, Sections 5 and 4.4 of these GTC.
11.1 Users who are sellers can declare their content or parts thereof as payable. In this case, the user must conclude an agreement with the seller in order to obtain access to the content (seller agreement). The seller agreement is based on the model agreement (Appendix 1 of these GTC).
11.2 Within the framework of the Seller Agreement, the User receives a licence which entitles him/her to access the corresponding Content. This licence is non-transferable, non-exclusive and does not entitle the user to grant sub-licences. It is limited according to the booking option. Access to the content is via the platform, unless the booked option results in a download authorisation.
11.3 The seller can offer the following booking options on his account:
11.3.1 Pay-per-view: the user pays a one-time amount and receives a licence for the one-time viewing of the specified content.
11.3.2 Pay-to-unlock: the user pays a one-off amount and receives a licence in return, with which he or she can access the content as long as it is available on the platform.
11.3.3 Subscription: the user pays a monthly fee of any amount and receives access to an area with exclusive content.
11.3.4 Tip: the user pays an arbitrary amount without receiving anything in return from the seller. Tipping is a function that allows users to support sellers outside of a transaction.
11.4 The payment of the amounts owed under the Seller Agreement (both payments by the User and repayments by the Seller) are processed by Get.me via a payment service provider available on the platform. There may be delays in the activation of the Content due to the operational procedures of Get.me and the payment service provider.
11.5 The conclusion of a Seller Agreement is accessible to Users and Registered Users. If the user does not have an account, receipts for the booked options and payments will be sent to the e-mail address provided during the booking process. Otherwise, the receipts can also be made available to him within the framework of the account.
This Part is applicable in addition to the general provisions if and to the extent that a User is a Seller. In the event of any conflict with Part I, this more specific Part II shall prevail.
2.1 In order to be able to use the functions of the platform intended for sellers, the user must request the activation of these functions by selecting this option in the account management and providing Get.me with all requested information. Get.me reserves the right to object to the activation at its discretion.
2.2 If the user requests the activation of the seller functions, he/she thereby confirms to Get.me that he/she is acting within the scope of a commercial or professional activity and is therefore not a consumer.
3.1 The Seller may terminate the Agreement at any time by deleting his Account.
3.2 Get.me may suspend the Seller's account at any time if it is suspected that the provisions of these GTC have been violated. If this suspicion is confirmed at Get.me's discretion, Get.me may terminate the agreement with immediate effect and delete the account.
3.3 Any outstanding payments will be processed after termination of the agreement, subject to other rights and provisions under these GTC.

4.2 The seller can conclude an agreement with other users via the platform about the activation of this content (seller agreement, see Appendix 1). Get.me mediates these agreements according to the seller's specifications, which the seller can define in the account management. The content is activated in accordance with the Seller Agreement. Get.me merely mediates the conclusion of this seller agreement and is not a party itself.
5.1 Seller shall duly and promptly perform its obligations under the Seller Agreement.
5.2 Seller warrants that the Paid Content complies with the Seller Agreement. If a description of the Unlockable Content has previously been provided, Seller warrants that the description matches the actual content.
5.3 The Seller guarantees that it has all the rights, permissions, licences, etc. required for the use of the Content on the Platform and that the use of the Content on the Platform, within the framework of the agreement between the Seller and Get.me and within the framework of the Seller Agreement, does not violate any statutory prohibitions or the rights of third parties.
6.1 The Seller undertakes to indemnify Get.me against any claims that third parties may assert on the basis of the Seller's content. This includes in particular claims due to the violation of obligations of the seller from the seller agreement and these GTC, in particular Part II, point 5.
6.2 Get.me is not liable for loss of profit or other direct and indirect damages that are due to an interruption of the operation and thus a lack of accessibility of the platform, unless the interruption is due to intent or gross negligence on the part of Get.me. In any case, liability for damages caused by force majeure, in particular power failures, strikes, traffic obstructions, disruptions and failures of the Internet and telecommunications infrastructure, fault of third parties including DDoS attacks, fires, floods and other natural disasters is excluded.
6.3 Get.me is also not liable for damages, in particular lost profits, which are due to the fact that Get.me has made use of its right to block the Seller's account or certain contents in accordance with these GTC or that the accessibility was restricted in accordance with Part I Clause 6 of these GTC.
6.4 Get.me is not liable for impairments and damages to the intellectual property of the seller by other users or third parties.
6.5 Get.me's liability for claims of the Seller, including contractual and tortious claims, shall be limited to the total amount of the user fees paid under the contractual relationship between Get.me and the Seller, up to a maximum of EUR 5,000. The parties agree on a limitation period of 12 months, unless statutory provisions provide for a shorter limitation period, for all claims of the Seller against Get.me.
7.1 Get.me accepts payments made under the Seller Agreement and tips for the Seller via the payment service providers available on the Platform. The seller can see in the account management which payments have been made by users.
7.2 Get.me takes care of the processing of repayments to the User that the Seller owes, e.g. due to contestation, revocation or withdrawal from the Seller Agreement or due to the Seller Agreement. For this reason, the Seller owes Get.me the corresponding amounts. These amounts are due 14 days after a corresponding notification by Get.me and are to be settled via the payment service providers provided on the platform.
7.3 Unless otherwise agreed, Get.me shall pay the User Payments to the Seller at monthly intervals via the corresponding payment service provider, less a fee for the use of the platform. The amount of the usage fee depends on whether the Seller has a free account or has concluded a subscription:
7.3.1 Free subscription: 5% on one-time payments; 10% on subscriptions
7.3.2 Starter subscription: 3% on one-time payments; 8% on subscriptions
7.3.3 Free subscription: 1% on one-time payments; 5% on subscriptions

7.4.2 they suspect that the seller has violated these GTC or legal regulations and that Get.me could suffer damages as a result, or
7.4.3 they suspect that the Seller will not fulfil its obligations to settle the repayments under clause 7.2.
The right of retention shall continue until the presumption has been clarified to GetMe's satisfaction.
7.5 The payout is excluded if one of the above presumptions has proven to be true.

4 Get.me reserves the right to adjust these GTC, as well as the prices defined herein, if this has become necessary due to changes in the applicable law or economic circumstances. Users will be informed of such adjustments in good time. If the user uses the platform after the time at which the adjustments come into effect, this is deemed to be consent to the adjustments. If the user does not wish to agree to the adjustments, he may terminate the agreement.
5 Get.me reserves the right to transfer the rights and obligations established by these GTC in relation to the user to third parties.
1.1 These Terms apply to all interactions between Seller and User via the Get.me Platform. By the User selecting one of the booking options offered by the Seller on his account on the Platform, an agreement is concluded between the Seller and the User, which is subject to the provisions of this Model Agreement, to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions introduced by the Seller or the User .
1.2 The agreement shall remain in force until it is concluded in accordance with these provisions or terminated.
1.3 The Agreement is concluded exclusively between the Seller and the User. Get.me merely provides the platform through which the Seller and User interact with each other and is not itself a party to the Agreement. Get.me also acts as an intermediary in the processing of payments or repayments using a payment service provider. The rights and obligations between Get.me and the Seller and between Get.me and the User arise exclusively from the Get.me GTC, which can be found under XXX.
1.4 If there is any doubt regarding the terms used in this sample agreement, please refer to the explanations of terms in the Get.me General Terms and Conditions, which can be found under XXX.
2.1 The Seller and the User undertake at all times to comply with the Get.me Community Guidelines, as well as the Get.me GTC, in particular the provisions on permissible use of the platform contained in clause XX of the Get.me GTC.
2.2 The Seller warrants that it holds all rights necessary for the performance of the Agreement and that it is legally and factually possible for it to provide the User with the licence to view the Content. Unless there is an intentional or negligent breach of any provision of this Agreement, the User accesses the Content on its own responsibility.
2.3 Although the User may be entitled to access Content uploaded after the Option has been booked, the Seller is not obliged to upload new Content under a subscription or any other booking option.
2.4 It is forbidden for the user to pass on his access data to the platform to third parties. It is also prohibited to export the seller's content from the platform, to remove it from the platform, to alienate it or to use it for any other purpose. Excluded from this are the possibilities provided on the platform for interaction with the content, including any download possibilities within the individual booking options.
3.1 Within the framework of the Seller Agreement, the User receives a licence which entitles him/her to access the Seller's payable content. This licence is non-transferable, non-exclusive and does not entitle the user to grant sub-licences. It is limited according to the booking option.
3.2 The design of the licence depends on the option offered by the Seller and booked by the User:
3.2.1 Pay-per-view: the user pays a one-time amount and receives a licence for the one-time viewing of the specified content.
3.2.2 Pay-to-unlock: the user pays a one-off amount and receives a licence in return, with which he or she can access the content as long as it is available on the platform.
3.2.3 Subscription:
3.2.4 Tip: the user pays an arbitrary amount without receiving anything in return from the seller. Tipping is a function that allows users to support sellers outside of a transaction.
3.3 The scope and content of the content to which the user has access may change during the term of his licence. The Seller is free to delete content from his profile and upload new content.
3.4 In any case, the intellectual property rights remain with the Seller. The User only receives a licence which entitles him to access the Content within the framework of the Platform and in accordance with the Get.me Terms and Conditions. Access is provided via the Get.me platform and is therefore dependent on the accessibility of the platform. Access to the Content may be restricted due to downtime and other reasons.
3.5 If the user uses the option available on the platform to give the seller a tip, this does not trigger any obligations on the part of the seller. Tips are not refundable.
3.6 Regardless of the booked option, the User's licence expires if the User's account is blocked or deleted, if the Seller's account is blocked or deleted or if the Content is blocked or deleted by Get.me or by the Seller itself.
4.1 Unless otherwise stated, all prices on the platform are in euros and plus VAT and other charges. Unless otherwise stated, e.g. for subscriptions, all payments are one-off payments.
4.2 Payments are processed via the payment options offered on the Get.me platform through a payment service provider. Invoices and receipts for payments can be provided in electronic form.
4.3 The User shall only assert a refund request via the Platform if he has reasonable grounds to believe that he is entitled to a refund. The User undertakes to assert any refund claims via the Platform first.
The user loses his right of withdrawal in accordance with the statutory provisions if he expressly agrees to the contract being fulfilled before the end of the withdrawal period.
6.1 As soon as the User claims a refund via the Platform, Get.me will review this request and decide on the validity of the User's claim at its sole discretion. If the request is justified, Get.me will initiate the refund of the payment or part of the payment via the payment service provider.
6.2 The User may be entitled to a (partial) refund if
6.2.1 the seller deletes his account,
6.2.2 the seller deletes the specific content that the user has booked within the framework of a pay-per-view or pay-to-unlock booking option,
6.2.3 Get.me suspends or deletes the seller's account,

and the user had not already made full or substantial use of the licence before the content was no longer accessible.
7.1 The agreement is governed by German law, unless other law is mandatorily applicable.
7.2 The place of jurisdiction is Hamburg, unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise.
7.3 Should any part of this agreement be invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining agreement. In this case, the Seller and the User shall agree on a supplementary provision that comes as close as possible to the originally intended provision.
