§ 1 Preamble

1. Die Krusenstern Media GmbH ( im folgenden "AdKlick.net" ) bietet ein Werbenetzwerk zur Vermittlung und Abwicklung von Partnerprogrammen an.

2. The contracting party would like to utilise the advertising network as an advertising partner (hereafter "advertising partner") or advertiser (hereafter "advertiser").

3. These T&Cs regulate both the cooperation between the contracting party and AdKlick.net and the relationship between advertising partners and advertisers within the advertising network.

4. By registering on AdKlick.net as an advertising partner or advertiser, a contractual relationship between AdKlick.net and the registered contracting party is created.

5. The integration and publication of an advertising campaign provided by the advertiser through the advertising partner concludes a further contractual relationship between the advertiser and the advertising partner. For this other contractual relationship, the T&Cs apply in the first instance, subject to further or alternative arrangements between these two parties.

 

§ 2 General

1. The contracting party is legally competent or is represented by an authorised legally competent person.

2. Der Vertragspartner erklärt gegenüber AdKlick.net als Unternehmer mit Gewinnerzielungsabsicht tätig zu sein und das Werbenetzwerk dahingehend nicht als Verbraucher nutzen zu wollen.

3. AdKlick reserves the right to amend these T&Cs at any time. The contracting party will be informed of any changes to the T&Cs by e-mail. If no objections against the performed changes are raised, agreement to the amended terms is assumed. If a contracting party does not agree to the amended terms, they may terminate his contract with AdKlick.net in writing with immediate effect.

4. Regulations and agreement that deviate from these T&Cs are only recognised, if they have been confirmed by an authorised representative of AdKlick.net in writing.

5. With judgement of 12.05.1998, the regional court of Hamburg has decided that the person responsible for the homepage is responsible for the contents of external links. According to the regional court, this can only be prevented by an explicit declaration by the person responsible for the homepage, that he has distanced himself from such contents. AdKlick.net refers to other websites through links to other sites on the internet. AdKlick.net declares explicitly that it does not have any influence over the design and/or the content of the linked and/or recorded sites. AdKlick therefore distances itself explicitly from all content of all linked member sites on its website and does not take ownership of their contents. This declaration applies to all sites that are accessed through the links.

6. For this contract, German law applies. In accordance with Art. 13 ZPO, the place of jurisdiction is the district court of Hamburg.
