1. Scope of application
These General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) govern the contractual relationship between the advertiser and Loyzo Technology GmbH (“Operator”) regarding digital advertising on the website (https://digitalspace.blog) and applications of LOYZO (“Platform”).
Digital advertising includes the placement of one or more advertising media on the platform. Advertisements and other forms of digital advertising are deemed to be advertising media.
Advertising order” means the order of the advertiser for the placement of one or more advertising media on the platform. Integral contractual components of these GTC are the rules published online by the operator or LOYZO or otherwise communicated to the advertiser in a suitable manner (e.g. by e-mail or in writing), which specify in more detail the rights and obligations of the parties with regard to digital advertising for the platform, the available advertising media as well as the procedure, content, price, rates and processing of the advertising.
The application of the advertiser’s GTC is expressly excluded. This also applies in the event that the advertiser refers to its own GTC and the operator or LOYZO fails to expressly reject the advertiser’s GTC in the specific case.
2. Conclusion of the advertising contracts
The placing of advertising orders by the advertiser must be in writing. As a rule, the advertiser submits a signed application form which describes the desired form of digital advertising. When submitting the signed application form, the advertiser expressly declares his agreement to these GTC. Acceptance by the operator or LOYZO takes place by means of written confirmation (“confirmation”). The contract (“contract”) is concluded by the dispatch of the written confirmation by the operator or LOYZO.
An e-mail satisfies the written form requirement within the scope of these GTC.
3. Modification and suspension of advertising orders/cancellation by LOYZO
The amendment and suspension of advertising orders must be made in writing. If the contract has been concluded (i.e. the confirmation has been received), changes to the advertising order by the advertiser or its auxiliary persons are in principle subject to a charge. For the changed advertising order or the suspension of the advertising order, the respective current rates of the operator or LOYZO apply. At least the originally agreed remuneration remains owed in any case. This applies in particular if the scope of the advertising order is reduced after confirmation or if the advertising order is cancelled entirely.
The operator or LOYZO can make changes to the advertising materials and advertising media within the framework of sections 4 and 5 of these GTC. If the platform ceases its activity before the publication of the advertising materials and the advertising media, LOYZO may withdraw from the contract without any obligation to provide compensation. Despite withdrawal from the contract by the operator or LOYZO, the advertiser is still obliged to pay for advertising material that has already appeared. Additional discounts on services already provided will not be granted.
4. promotional materials
4.1 Obligation of the advertiser to provide advertising material
When placing advertising orders, the advertiser undertakes to provide the necessary material for the digital advertising at his own expense (images, texts, logos, etc.). Before placing the advertising order, the advertiser checks whether the material meets the current technical requirements of the operator or LOYZO.
4.2 Responsibility of the advertiser for the advertising material
The advertiser bears sole responsibility for the advertising material provided, in particular this applies to the content of the advertising material. He is obliged to comply with the applicable legal system and not to infringe any third-party rights. The advertiser checks the advertising material for legality before making the advertising material available to the operator or LOYZO.
4.3 Design specifications
The application form or the advertising order of the advertiser may contain specifications regarding the design of the advertising media. Within the scope of technical possibilities, the operator or LOYZO undertakes with the confirmation to comply with these design specifications.
The advertising materials or digital advertising must be clearly distinguishable in writing and design from the editorial part and from the contributions of the users of the platform. The logo or the name of LOYZO as well as of LOYZO’s products, websites and apps may only be used in the advertising materials with the written consent of the operator or LOYZO. If a digital advertisement does not distinguish itself clearly enough, the operator or LOYZO will additionally mark the advertising media with a heading in the sense of “Advertising”, “Advertisement” or similar references.
When designing the advertising materials, care must be taken to ensure that the advertising materials can be displayed perfectly on the screen or smartphones or other reproduction devices. In particular, suitable fonts and sufficiently thick lines must be used.
The operator or LOYZO uses the new German legal spelling and reserves the right to adjust obvious errors in the advertising materials accordingly without consultation.
4.4 Political advertising
Any advertising material which is obviously intended to influence opinion-forming with regard to elections or votes must be published well in advance of the ballot or the date of the election or vote. Political opponents must be given the opportunity to publish their advertising material in advance and to present counter-positions.
4.5 Indemnification/consequences of defective advertising material
The advertiser indemnifies – as far as legally possible – the operator or LOYZO, its organs and auxiliary persons from any claims of third parties. After a notice of dispute has been issued, the advertiser is obliged to join the lawsuit. The advertiser thus assumes the handling and defence of any legal disputes, claims for damages, other actions and claims. In particular, the advertiser shall bear all court and out-of-court costs incurred to protect the rights of the operator, its bodies, employees and auxiliary persons.
If the advertiser provides the advertising material incompletely, too late or defectively or if the material does not meet the current technical requirements, the advertiser shall bear the consequences alone.
4.6 Counterstatements
If counterstatement requests relate to advertising material of the advertiser, the operator or LOYZO will contact the advertiser to discuss the further procedure. The advertiser shall indemnify the operator against all costs arising from the need for a counterstatement.
