General terms and conditions of business
PART 1: Delivery and payment conditions
1 Scope of application and amendments
1.1 The following General Terms and Conditions of Business and Use contain the basic rules for the use of the United Events platform (hereinafter referred to as the operator) and apply from their inclusion to all legal transactions, including future legal transactions and similar actions between the user and the platform.
1.2 Terms and conditions of the User that deviate from these terms and conditions shall not apply.
1.3 Amendments to the General Terms and Conditions of Business and Use shall only become effective with the User's consent. The new conditions will be sent to the User by e-mail before they come into force.
1.4 The new terms and conditions shall be deemed to have been agreed if the user does not object to their validity within 14 days of receipt of the e-mail. The objection must be in text form. United Events will inform the user in the e-mail about the possibility of objection, the deadline and the consequences of inactivity of the user separately.
2. services of the operator
2.1 The operator of United Events provides a platform on which registered members can post content for the purpose of presenting their company and initiating purchase, sale and service contracts. Furthermore, the platform enables end customers to contact registered users and make inquiries.
2.2 The offer of the provider of United Events is directed at natural or legal persons or partnerships with legal capacity, as far as the conclusion of the legal transaction is carried out in the exercise of their commercial or independent activity. A contract with end consumers is not concluded via the platform. However, enquiries can be made about this.
2.3 The contracts that come about and are concluded as a result of the enquiry on the platform come about directly and exclusively between the respective registered users and are fulfilled and processed outside the platform. The trading platform thus serves exclusively to initiate business between the existing contractual parties. United Events does not act as a party to the concluded purchase, work or service contract.
2.4 The operator is therefore only active as a provider/information service provider, which exclusively publishes and makes accessible third-party content. The Operator is not obliged to check these offers before they are published by the respective User.
2.5 The Operator has the right to forward requests from the end customer to other Users with the same or similar portfolios if the requested User does not respond to the request for 7 days.
2.6 By registering, the User agrees that his/her personal and business data as well as e-mail correspondence may be stored and processed internally. This data will be treated confidentially and will not be passed on to third parties, especially not for commercial or advertising purposes. The publication requested by the customer for the purpose of establishing contact is not affected by this regulation. The operator is authorized to store inquiries from end customers and to deposit them in the course of data management.
2.7 The Operator reserves the right to change the range of services offered as well as the functions and design of the platform at any time, provided it is reasonable for the User.
3. registration, United Events offers
3.1 In connection with the registration with United Events a framework agreement for the use of United Events offers is concluded. These offers are accessible with the selected access data (user name and password). Activation takes place after identity verification by the Operator
3.2 The use of other United Events offers may be agreed on the basis of this framework agreement. The services, technical requirements and - if the offer is against payment - prices for the selected services are set out in the respective service description, which is displayed by the Operator prior to conclusion of the contract. The service descriptions of the United Events offers used can be found in the "My Account" area after conclusion of the contract.
3.3 The framework contract begins with the activation of the access data selected by the user (clause 3.1) and is concluded for an initial period of 12 months. The framework agreement is not transferable.
3.4 Upon registration, the user undertakes to provide correct and complete information, in particular regarding his identity, address, telephone number, e-mail address, qualifications (e.g. entries) and - if required for billing purposes - a bank account. The Operator may at any time request documents to prove the information provided by the User.
3.5 The User undertakes to keep the information provided and the documents submitted always up to date.
3.6 The Operator may automatically provide translated versions of the content provided by Members on platforms abroad. These translations are carried out by machine on a time-controlled basis and are identifiable as such. Only the content in the original language that is current at the time of conclusion of the contract is decisive for the content of contracts concluded between members.
4. access data
4.1 The user undertakes not to pass on his access data to third parties. The passing on to employees of the user for business purposes is permitted. The user must ensure that his employees observe these General Terms and Conditions.
4.2 The User must inform the Operator immediately if he/she has the impression that third parties are using his/her access data without authorisation. In the event of justified suspicion of third party use of the access data, the Operator may take the necessary measures and in particular temporarily block or close access. If third parties make unauthorized use of the access data due to the fault of the User, the User shall compensate for any damages incurred and pay any usage fees.
5 Billing, direct debit authorization
5.1 The user is always informed in advance if a service is subject to charges. In this case, prices and service features will be communicated to him in advance.
5.2 If the User books a chargeable service, he is obliged to inform the Operator of his bank details. By doing so, he revocably authorizes the operator to collect the due remuneration for the use of paid services by means of direct debit. The operator will inform the user at least five days before the direct debit about the amount to be collected by e-mail. The User has to ensure that his account has the necessary coverage on this date.
5.3 In the event of failure of the direct debit via the account details provided or in the event of premature revocation of the direct debit authorization without providing a comparable direct debit option, the Operator is entitled to block the User's access. This also applies if the User is in default with payments of a considerable amount. The block will be lifted immediately after receipt of the outstanding amount. The User undertakes to reimburse the Operator for the costs of a return debit note for which he is responsible on the basis of a lump-sum compensation of 9,- €. The User can prove at any time that the Operator has incurred a lower damage.
5.4 In case of default of payment, the operator is entitled to demand reminder costs of 5,- €. Outstanding amounts shall be subject to interest at a rate of 9 percentage points above the base interest rate during the period of default.
5.5 If User receives a statement of account for the remuneration incurred, he/she is obliged to raise any objections to the amount within two months of receipt. The objections must be justified. Failure to raise an objection in due time shall be deemed to constitute approval of the invoice. The operator will point this out to the user in a textually highlighted manner when transmitting an invoice.
5.6 The Operator is entitled to collect the fees due via third-party companies (so-called vicarious agents). If User culpably defaults on payment of the usage fees by more than two months, all outstanding amounts shall become due immediately by the next possible end of the contract. The user has no right of retention.

The user is obliged to ensure that such restrictions are observed.
6.4 If User violates these GTC or applicable law, the Operator is authorized to take appropriate measures. In the case of minor violations, these can be limited to the indication that the GTC, legal provisions or the duty of consideration have been violated.

In the event of such a blockage, you are still obliged to pay the full compensation. The choice of measures is at the discretion of the operator.

7.1 The User transfers to the Operator those rights to information shared by him/her that are necessary to keep the information available on the Internet.

The operator reserves the right to make unintentional errors in the translation. Furthermore, the operator is granted the necessary rights to integrate the information also on deviating platforms, such as the social media channels, and to make it available for indexing and optimization in search engines. The user agrees that his personal data may be used for appropriate marketing measures. This includes, for example, the sending of e-mails with general information and advertising character, e.g. newsletters etc. If the user no longer wishes to receive this information, he/she has the possibility to unsubscribe by e-mail at any time. The sending of e-mails containing contract-relevant information on the use or function of the trading platform must be sent in any case.
7.2 Furthermore, the User is obliged to state all essential characteristics of the goods or services offered for purchase in order to provide a portfolio for the interested parties that is as complete as possible. This includes in particular information on the condition of the goods, minimum quantity, minimum order value and any shipping costs incurred. The respective user assumes the guarantee for the correctness of the shared information. If no restrictive reference to the condition of the products offered is shown in the article description provided, this implies that these are goods or services without any known qualitative defect. Thus, it is "1A goods". The user must place his offer or request in the appropriate category suitable for this purpose.
7.3 In his advertisement, the provider has to inform about the terms of payment and delivery, his power of disposal as well as possible existing legal rights of withdrawal according to §355 and §312 b BGB.
8. ratings
8.1 The end customers have the possibility to rate the users according to their request.
8.2 The ratings are intended to give end customers as meaningful and accurate a picture as possible of the quality, reliability and trustworthiness of the users.
