§ 1 Development and maintenance of the partner website and social media use

(1) For your website and for use in social media, we will provide you with affiliate links and advertising material (hereinafter “links”) for contract-specific use via this platform. You may only include these links in an appropriate number and in all appropriate areas of your website and distribute them via social media.

The creation of cookies is only permitted if a Holz-Jaeger advertising medium is used, this is visible and the creation of the cookie is preceded by a conscious click by a user.

The Partner is prohibited from invisibly integrating Holz-Jaeger Internet stores in order to generate a cookie for the user. Publishers are generally prohibited from using iFrames, pop-ups, pop-under and layer advertising media that load a Holz-Jaeger advertising medium or the Holz-Jaeger online store and set a cookie for the user without the user’s involvement.

Furthermore, logging into so-called adware networks (e.g. Zango/Hotbar) is prohibited. Orders that are generated on the basis of an electronic notification (browser plug-in, adware, etc.) to users that bonus points or other additional rewards or bonuses can still be “taken” will not be tolerated and sales made in this way will be canceled.

Only sales that have a justified origin resulting from a regular marketing measure on your website/advertising space/social media content will be remunerated.

Postview tracking and the use of so-called “forced clicks” is prohibited.

The links may only be integrated on the website whose address (URL) you specified when registering for the Holz-Jaeger partner program. The links serve to identify your website in our partner network and establish the connection from your website to our website. A connection to our website may only be established via these links. You may distribute the links via social media and your own created content. The links may refer to different areas of our website.

Operators of reimbursement systems with a monthly or annual fee cannot participate in the Holz-Jaeger affiliate program.

(2) You may only use the links that Holz-Jaeger makes available to you or that you can generate in our partner program.

(3) The maintenance of your website is your sole responsibility.

§ 2 Calculation of your advertising revenue

Only Holz-Jaeger revenues from sales of Holz-Jaeger products to customers who have accessed our website via one of the links on your website or via links on your social media content up to 30 days before the purchase count towards the calculation of the advertising fee.

Such sales will be taken into account for the calculation of your advertising remuneration, provided that the sale, delivery and full payment of the goods have been completed, less returns, VAT and credit notes. The remuneration is 10% of this sales value.

Payment will be made within the first 7 days of each month, provided that the withdrawal period of 30 days for the items sold has expired and the minimum payment amount of 25.00 euros has been reached.

You will send us an invoice (by e-mail) for the commission due before payment.

§ 3 Rights of use

(1) You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable right, revocable at any time, to use the links we provide. Exclusively in connection with such links, you also have the right to use the materials provided for the purpose of advertising our website.

(2) The rights according to § 3 (1) expire when a termination of this agreement takes effect and you undertake to remove the links used on your website immediately and completely.

§ 4 Your benefits

(1) You are fully responsible for the establishment, operation and maintenance of your website and for all materials that appear on your website. This responsibility relates in particular to the technical operation of your site and the necessary technical systems. In particular, you guarantee that your website is free of pornography, depictions of violence (sexual violence, killing of people or animals), discriminatory depictions of people, insults, extremist, radical political or youth-endangering content, trivialization or glorification of drugs and weapons and inappropriate use of language (sexualized language, coarse language, blasphemy, etc.) and does not link to other websites with such content.

(2) You are obliged to indemnify us against any third-party claims and our costs in connection with the defense against third-party claims in connection with the setup, operation or maintenance for which you are responsible and the content of your site, unless the claims relate to the advertising material or product data provided by Holz-Jaeger. You are also obliged to support Holz-Jaeger in the defense against such third-party claims by submitting declarations, in particular affidavits, and by providing other information. You shall refrain from all actions that impair the functionality of the software or the system (e.g. mail bombs, etc.) and shall be liable for all damages incurred by Holz-Jaeger as a result of such actions for which you are responsible.

(3) You will not set up your website in any way that is likely to cause confusion with our website or give the impression that your website is our website or part of our website. You will not use on your website any material from us that you do not obtain for this purpose with our permission or via our website.

(4) You are not authorized to create or accept offers in our name or to represent us. In particular, you are not authorized to send e-mails advertising Holz-Jaeger and/or Holz-Jaeger products to end customers in the name of Holz-Jaeger or in your own name. You are not involved in the processing of sales contracts between us and our end customers. You do not act as a commercial agent or commission agent of Holz-Jaeger. You will ensure that the design of your website does not create such an impression. You will not make any statements to third parties that could create such an impression.

(5) You operate your website independently and are responsible for the content within the meaning of Section 7 TMG and observe the provisions and obligations of Sections 11 et seq. TMG (in particular, you are solely responsible for compliance with the relevant provisions of the TMG regarding the storage of cookies), the BDSG and the GDPR. You shall indemnify Holz-Jaeger against all claims that Holz-Jaeger may incur as a result of a breach of data protection laws for which you are responsible.

(6) Emails containing advertising for Holz-Jaeger may not be sent. If claims are asserted against Holz-Jaeger by third parties due to the advertising presentation in a newsletter or an advertising email, you shall indemnify Holz-Jaeger against all third-party claims and all costs incurred by Holz-Jaeger in defending against such claims upon first request.

(7) The advertising material provided or permitted for a partner segment may not be transferred or used for another partner segment.

(8) The use of Holz-Jaeger partner links in toolbars, both the Affiliate’s own toolbars and those of third parties into which the Affiliate logs on / with which the Affiliate cooperates, is not permitted. Furthermore, any modification of browsers in the form of plugins or software that is intended to redirect a user who is already on the Holz-Jaeger website to an affiliate site or set an affiliate cookie is prohibited. Examples include overlays that are placed over the Holz-Jaeger website and thus give the impression of being part of the Holz-Jaeger website. Any other use of plugins or tools aimed at setting affiliate cookies or influencing tracking in any other way must be agreed with Holz-Jaeger before this form of advertising is used. Existing affiliates who are currently using a similar form of advertising must also report this immediately and obtain approval for further advertising using these forms. In the event of an infringement, the Affiliates concerned will be removed from the program on the basis of the partner link and there will be no entitlement to commissions generated in this way.

(9) Crawling the Holz-Jaeger website is prohibited.

(10) Voucher providers may not pass on the vouchers provided to third parties. All white label solutions and similar functions must be deactivated for this partner program.

(11) Any violation of the program rules by a partner registered for the Holz-Jaeger partner program can lead to immediate exclusion from the Holz-Jaeger partner program without notice and the cancellation of all open sales.

In addition, we expressly reserve the right to take further legal action, in particular the assertion of claims for damages.

§ 5 Amendments to the contract

We reserve the right to amend the provisions of this agreement at any time. You will be informed of any changes by e-mail. Adjustments may be made in particular with regard to remuneration and payment procedures. If a modification is not acceptable to you, you have the option of terminating the agreement. Your continued participation in the Partner Network after the start of the period of validity of the changes shall be deemed as acceptance of the changes. We will draw your attention to this legal consequence when notifying you of the change.

§ 6 Confidentiality

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or with the consent of the other party, all information, including but not limited to the terms of this Agreement, business and financial information, customer and vendor lists, and pricing and sales information, shall be kept strictly confidential and such confidential information shall not be used by you, directly or indirectly, for your own commercial purposes or for any other purpose. This confidentiality obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years.

(1) We will operate our website within the scope of our technical capabilities. We make no representations or warranties in relation to the partner network, Holz-Jaeger products and the error-free and uninterrupted usability of our website.

(2) Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected. Our liability is otherwise excluded.

§ 8 Final provisions

(1) This agreement shall be governed by German law.

(2) Should individual provisions of this agreement be or become invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the agreement. The same shall apply in the event that the agreement contains a loophole. In place of the invalid or unenforceable provisions or to fill the gap, an appropriate provision shall apply which, as far as legally possible, comes closest to what the partners would have wanted if they had considered this point when concluding the agreement.

(3) The contract is concluded upon acceptance of the customer’s offer to conclude the contract. The contract may be terminated by either party without notice and without stating reasons.

(4) Any general terms and conditions of the partner website shall not become part of the contract.
