1.1 Scope These General Terms and Conditions, in the version valid at the time of conclusion of the contract, apply to all business relationships between me, Giggi Leonard, Weihburggasse 18-20/17, 1010 Vienna, Austria. 

 

Any conflicting terms and conditions you may use are hereby expressly rejected. 

 

1.2 Contractual Agreement The contract language is German. For the purposes of these General Terms and Conditions, customers are exclusively entrepreneurs as defined in Section 1 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB). 

 

1.3 Free User Agreement 

To use the full range of features on my website, you must first create an account. The data required for me to provide the services will be requested. Your entries are confirmed by clicking the button 

 

"Here you go!". You will then receive a confirmation email with the information required for login. Registration is only complete once you have logged in to my website for the first time using this information. By registering, you are entering into a free user agreement with us. 

 

1.4 Contract Conclusion with Digistore24: If you wish to use my paid services, you must make a booking through our partner Digistore24. Digistore24 is therefore also your contractual partner. To book, click on the desired product and you will then be redirected to Digistore24. According to Digistore24, the contract is then concluded as follows (available at https://www.digistore24.com/page/terms): 

 

"The listing of the respective product in the online shop does not yet constitute a binding offer from Digistore24 to the buyer to conclude a purchase agreement. To purchase products in the Digistore24 online shop, the buyer can place the selected item in the shopping cart and then enter the order details in the provided order form. After selecting the shipping method and the desired payment method, as well as accepting these Terms and Conditions, they submit their binding offer by clicking the "Buy Now" button." Following this order process, the buyer will receive an order confirmation email from Digistore24. However, this order confirmation does not yet constitute acceptance of the offer submitted by the buyer to Digistore24. 

 

Digistore24 saves the contract text of the order, and the buyer can print it before submitting their order by clicking "Print" in the final step of the order process. We will also send the buyer an order confirmation and an order acknowledgement with all order details to the email address they provided. 

 

Further information on data protection can be accessed at any time by the buyer at https://www.digistore24.com/page/privacy. 

 

Acceptance by Digistore24 occurs through an explicit declaration of acceptance to the buyer via email no later than the end of the third business day following the day of the offer, or by dispatching the goods that are the subject of the contract. 

 

Digistore24 is entitled to reject contract offers without giving reasons. 

 

If the buyer is a business, offers from Digistore24 are subject to change and non-binding. 

 

The contract language is exclusively German. 

 

Therefore, we are not a contracting party, but merely provide Digistore24 with our services. After concluding the contract, you will receive the login details for our website and can use our services. If you have a right of withdrawal regarding the service, you must contact Digistore24. 

By concluding the contract with Digistore24, an account will be created for you on our website. The password that grants you access to your personal area must be treated as strictly confidential and must not be disclosed to third parties under any circumstances. You are responsible for taking appropriate and reasonable measures to prevent third parties from gaining knowledge of your password. An account cannot be transferred to other users or other third parties. We are not liable for damages resulting from the misuse of the password. 

 

1.5 Performance of Services 

I am entitled to have the contract, or parts thereof, fulfilled by third parties. 

 

1.6 Service Period 

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, I will begin providing the service after the contract is concluded with our partner Digistore24 by activating your account. 

 

1.7 Termination of a Free Trial Account 

The paid subscription period is preceded by a 30-day trial period. The free trial period is for 30 days. It begins with the activation of the account and can be terminated by you at any time by deleting your profile via the standard account deletion process. We reserve the right to delete user accounts that are not fully registered and have been inactive for at least three months. We are entitled to delete the profiles and content associated with the account after the end of the free trial period. We will only terminate a trial account, through which offers are currently being published, prematurely for good cause. 

 

2. Your Responsibility 

 

2.1 General You are solely responsible for the content and accuracy of the data and information you submit. You also agree not to submit any data whose content infringes the rights of third parties or violates applicable laws. By submitting data to us, you confirm that you have complied with copyright regulations. 

 

2.2 Abusive Content 

Abusive content or posts will be deactivated or deleted without prior notice. Such content creation is prohibited, for example, in the following cases: 

 

• Sending spam, 

• Sending and storing content that is offensive, obscene, threatening, abusive, or otherwise infringes the rights of third parties, 

• Sending and storing viruses, worms, Trojans, and other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents, or programs, 

• Uploading programs that are likely to disrupt, impair, or prevent the operation of the service, 

• Attempting to gain or grant unauthorized access to our service or to individual modules, systems, or applications, 

• Content that glorifies violence, is pornographic, or is otherwise offensive or illegal. 

 

In the event of repeated violations, we reserve the right to suspend or delete your account. Payments already made cannot be refunded in this case. The right to extraordinary termination remains unaffected. 

 

2.3 Indemnification 

You shall indemnify me against all claims asserted against me by third parties due to such infringements. This also includes the reimbursement of costs for necessary legal representation. 

 

2.4 Profile Data 

You are obligated to keep the content and profile information you have posted up to date at all times and to immediately report any misuse of your profile. 

 

2.5 Responsibility for Your Own Actions 

I merely provide you with my services; however, I do not verify whether all data relevant to you has been adequately provided. Before using my services, you are responsible for informing yourself which information you need for trading. Success resulting from the use of my platform is expressly not owed and cannot be guaranteed, as you are solely responsible for the decisions you make. 

 

3. Payment 

 

3.1 Prices 

All prices are exclusive of VAT. We are expressly not a contracting party; rather, I am merely providing Digistore24 with my services. 

 

3.2 Right of Retention 

You may only assert a right of retention for counterclaims that are due and based on the same legal relationship as your obligation. 

 

4. Usability of the Services 

 

4.1 Further Development of the Service / Availability 

I strive to adapt my services to current technological developments. 

 

Therefore, I reserve the right to modify the agreed services, provided that such modifications do not affect the core services and are reasonable for the contractual partner, taking their interests into account. I am also entitled to interrupt website operation, in whole or in part, for the purposes of updates and maintenance, within reasonable limits. I therefore do not guarantee the continuous availability of the offered services and do not warrant that the offered services, or parts thereof, will be available and usable from every location. Your warranty rights remain unaffected. 

 

4.2 Technical Requirements 

Use of the website requires compatible devices. It is your responsibility to ensure that your device is in a condition that enables the use of the website services. 

 

4.3 Fair Use Policy 

You are entitled to use our services in accordance with their intended purpose and in compliance with applicable laws (Fair Use / Acceptable Use). The calculation of service usage is based on the average use of resources provided by 

The Giggi Method (Fair Use). If the provided resources (especially storage space and traffic) are used beyond what is acceptable, you will be contacted and asked to reduce your usage to an acceptable level within a specified timeframe. If you fail to comply, we reserve the right to invoice you for any costs incurred and to terminate the contract (if necessary, without notice). Please contact the support team by email (contact@thegiggimethod.com). 

 

 

5. Reviews 

 

5.1 General 

I offer you the opportunity to review my offers and services, as well as those of my service providers. You are obligated to provide information to the best of your knowledge and belief. Submitted reviews may be reviewed by me for their admissibility. I am entitled, but not obligated, to publish reviews on my website and make them visible to all users. 

 

5.2 Abusive or Illegal Reviews 

Abusive or illegal reviews will be deactivated or deleted by me without prior notice. This applies in particular to reviews containing false, insulting, or otherwise unlawful statements, or to reviews being misused for advertising purposes. 

 

6. Use of Content 

By uploading content to the database, you grant me the right to use this content indefinitely for uploading and storing it in the database and for retrieval and storage by third parties, in particular to store, reproduce, make available, transmit, link to, and publish the content. This may also occur through or in the form of advertising materials (especially links on social networks, use in commercials, use on your own website, or in printed form, etc.) by me or by third parties. The author explicitly waives the right to be named. Furthermore, I retain the right to modify the content, especially if it does not meet the aforementioned requirements of these terms and conditions. 

 

7. Warranty 

The statutory warranty rights apply. 

 

8. Liability 

 

8.1 Limitation of Liability 

I, as well as my legal representatives and agents, are liable only for intent and gross negligence, and, insofar as essential contractual obligations (i.e., obligations whose fulfillment is of particular importance for achieving the purpose of the contract) are concerned, also for slight negligence. In this case, liability for gross and slight negligence is limited to foreseeable damages typical for this type of contract. 

 

8.2 Reservation of Liability 

The above limitation of liability does not apply to liability for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health. The provisions of the Product Liability Act also remain unaffected by this limitation of liability. 

 

8.3 Data Backup 

I perform effective data backups as part of the service provision; however, I do not assume any general data backup guarantee for the data you transmit. You are also responsible for creating adequate backups of your data at regular intervals to prevent data loss. We will exercise due diligence in providing the agreed service and will perform data backup with the necessary expertise. However, I do not guarantee that the stored content or data you access will not be accidentally damaged, corrupted, lost, or partially deleted. 

 

9. Final Provisions 

 

9.1 Jurisdiction 

My place of business shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all legal disputes arising from this contract, provided you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law. 

 

9.2 Choice of Law 

Unless mandatory legal provisions under your national law provide otherwise, Austrian law shall apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). 

 

9.3 Consumer Dispute Resolution 

The European Commission has established an online platform for the settlement of disputes concerning contractual obligations arising from online contracts (ODR platform). You can access the ODR platform via the following link: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. 

 

My email address can be found in the legal notice above. 

 

I am neither willing nor obligated to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. 

 

9.4 Severability Clause 

The invalidity of individual provisions shall not affect the validity of the remaining General Terms and Conditions.
