    plentymarkets enables its partners and customers to publish offers on services and consulting as well as requests for services or consulting on the project board. Publication of these advertisements is subject to the following conditions.

    Publication of the advertisements is free of charge. We retain the right to publish future advertisements subject to a fee within the scope of a predetermined price list.

16. Publication

    The contract governing publication is created as described below:

    • The order data is entered using a form on the website. The user must have already logged in using an existing plentymarkets account.

    • There is an option to select between different levels of visibility and status of the advertisement.

    • The form and the advertisement require the following minimum information: title, description, budget, contact, duration of the enquiry time range and at least a telephone number or email to make contact.

    • Advertisements can be changed. Changes take place using a form identical to that used for initial publication, and are published immediately after data entry and storage. All changes are tracked in detail for all participants using a version system.

    • Publication is in principle not subject to any fixed period of time. However, plentymarkets reserves the right to disable advertisements containing a request after the quoting period has expired. The offer/request can also be actively cancelled by the user.

17. Content principles

    The content of advertisements must be directly related to plentymarkets. Publications which refer to competitors and competitive products are not permitted. Publications referring to interfaces are permitted if they are available as plugins on plentyMarketplace as well.

    plentymarkets is entitled to refuse an advertisement if there are specific reasons to believe that the advertisement violates applicable law or infringes or violates the rights of third parties, or if the advertisement is unreasonable for other causes.

    In particular, the publication of advertisements shall be considered unreasonable if they violate the principles of child protection, have or refer to radical right-wing content, are grossly insufficient in terms of technical content and/or quality or are otherwise potentially capable of showing plentymarkets in a negative light and/or to significantly affect the trust of third parties.

    Even during the publication of an advertisement, plentymarkets is entitled at any time to remove or disable it immediately without previous discussion with the contractor if there are specific reasons to believe that the advertisement violates applicable law or infringes or violates the rights of third parties, or if the advertisement is unreasonable for other causes.

    plentymarkets will immediately inform the contractor, specifying reasons, if measures are taken for the reasons listed above.

    The contractor is free to publish a new advertisement which meets contractual requirements. Any resulting delay shall be the sole concern of the contractor.

18. Content and rights to advertisements/Copyright

    The contractor bears sole responsibility for the content of advertisements, particularly their correctness and legality, as well as that of the text and images provided for creation of the advertisements. plentymarkets bears no responsibility for examining the advertisement for infringement of the rights of third parties.

    If trademarks or service marks are used in the publication of the advertisement, the contractor hereby grants permission or ensures that the necessary permissions are available.

    The contractor shall hold plentymarkets harmless in accordance with the legal conditions of all third-party claims relating to rights violation in the above case and undertakes to provide compensation for any resulting disadvantages or damages.

19. Warranty and liability

    plentymarkets guarantees the dissemination and provision of advertisements and content in accordance with the usual state of the art.

    The supplier and client are responsible for compliance with any legal mandatory information and competition law regulations as well as compliance with the rules for the protection of intellectual property.

    The contractor is aware of the fact that it is not possible under the state of the art to provide a website entirely free of presentation errors for all available browsers.

    plentymarkets cannot assume liability for damages, delays or impediments to performance that are not its own responsibility.

    plentysystems AG is only the operator of the "plentyMarketplace" platform. It is not a provider of the plugins or other consulting and service provider offerings (unless explicitly stated otherwise).

    Regardless of the legal cause, the provider and plentysystems AG accept liability only for damages caused intentionally or due to gross negligence, or to the extent that culpably caused damage involves injury to life, limb or health, or in the case of culpable violation of a significant contractual obligation or cardinal duty or in the case of failure to fulfil a guarantee or if a deficiency is intentionally concealed. A "cardinal duty" in the sense of this clause is a duty on the part of the party to a contract whose performance makes the proper execution of the contractual relationship between the parties a possibility, the violation of which endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on compliance of which the user can normally rely.

    In the case of violation of a significant contractual obligation or cardinal duty that is due to simple negligence, the liability of plentysystems AG is limited to the typically foreseeable damages.

    plentysystems AG cannot accept any further liability. Liability under the German Product Liability Act shall not be affected by these Terms of Use.

20. Form

    This agreement is final. Changes to the agreement are only possible at least in text form. This applies to this clause itself as well.

21. Applicable law, place of jurisdiction, contract language

    The contractual relationship between the parties as well as any disputes resulting from this contractual relationship or in relation with it are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

    Should the provider and/or advertising contractor be a business owner, a legal entity incorporated under public law or a special fund under public law, then the jurisdiction for any legal disputes resulting from contractual relationships between the provider and plentysystems AG shall be Kassel, Germany.

    The contract language is German. An English translation of these conditions is supplied for information purposes only. When applying the conditions and inliidual clauses, only the text in German is binding.

22. Severability clause
