[ End of the cancellation policy ]

11.) Invoicing and payment (employer and intermediary)

  • JobEngel and the user liable to pay agree that both shall provide the services specified in the contract in accordance with the terms of use and the prices valid at the time the contract is concluded.

  • A chargeable transaction is concluded if:

    1. the user clicks on the "Buy" button or
    2. an agent releases the profile of an employee for another agent. In this case, a monthly subscription is created, which is billed in the following month.

Unless otherwise agreed, payment for the purchase will be made by credit card debit in accordance with the current price list. All costs of the payment process (including errors in the payment details) shall be borne by the user. The payment details provided by the user when concluding the contract may be used for future payments.

For the second point (see above), billing is by invoice.

JobEngel may transfer the collection of payments to third parties and pass on the user data for this purpose, insofar as this is permitted by law.

If the fees or taxes change during a billing month, this month will be divided into two periods and billed separately.

If the user does not pay the amount within ten days of receipt of the invoice, he is automatically in default. In this case, JobEngel may charge interest on arrears and reminder fees. The reminder fee is 1.50 euros, unless the user can prove that the damage is lower.

In the event of late payment, JobEngel may claim full damages and demand default interest of 9% above the base interest rate. JobEngel can prove and claim higher damages.

Users may only offset claims against JobEngel if these are undisputed or have been established by a court. Claims of the user against JobEngel may not be assigned to third parties.

12.) Data protection, telecommunications secrecy and confidentiality

JobEngel informs the user that their data will be stored electronically and processed for the fulfillment of the contract. JobEngel collects, processes and uses personal data insofar as this is necessary for the contract and billing.

The user is advised that the web hosting provider is technically able to access the stored data in order to provide the service. Other persons on the Internet may also be able to access the data without authorization. The user is therefore responsible for protecting their own data.

If the user orders something from partner companies via JobEngel services, the necessary data will be forwarded.

The user must handle their access data (such as IDs, passwords or user names) with care and ensure that they are not passed on to third parties. If someone else uses the access data, the user is responsible unless he can prove that he was not at fault.

The user must inform JobEngel immediately if their access data is used without authorization.

If the user violates the rules stated in these terms and conditions, JobEngel may terminate the service without warning and remove the user from the site without waiving any outstanding payments.

13.) Defects & liability

JobEngel is only liable for damages if these are caused by intentional or grossly negligent behavior. Liability is limited to the amount paid by the user in the last 12 months, unless the company insurance covers the damage. If the user himself contributes to the damage, this remains unaffected.

JobEngel is only liable for advice if it is directly related to the service offered. This limitation of liability also applies to the legal representatives and employees of JobEngel. There are no claims against JobEngel if the services deviate from the agreement or are not intentionally rendered unusable.

JobEngel is not responsible for the content of linked external websites. The operators of these sites are responsible for their content.

JobEngel is not liable for false or incorrect information provided by users or technical problems in the transmission or use of the services. Defects must be reported by the user in writing and within 7 days of publication.

  • In the event of a defect, JobEngel will first attempt to rectify the error. If this is not successful, the user can demand a price reduction or withdraw from the contract for individual services.
  • At JobEngel's request, the user must inform JobEngel within a certain period of time whether he still insists on delivery or what claims he is asserting. In repeated cases, the user may terminate the contract.
  • Claims of the user due to defects expire after one year, calculated from the time at which the defect became known or should have been known.

14.) Final provisions

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Schlangenbad.

Only German law shall apply to all contracts concluded on the basis of these GTCs. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and international private law are excluded.

If individual provisions of these GTCs or the contract are or become invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue to apply.
