Terms of Service

These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "Terms") apply to all contracts regarding the use of the platform "WITH THIS LINK" (hereinafter "Platform") concluded between the operator of the Platform (see Legal Notice) and the users.

The Platform enables registered users to create, customize, and share digital invitations via a link.

Deviating, conflicting, or supplementary general terms and conditions of the user shall not become part of the contract unless their validity is expressly agreed to.

Description of Services

The Platform offers the following services:

• Creation and management of digital invitations
• Customization of invitations (text, images, designs)
• Generation of shareable links for invitations
• RSVP / guest responses (collection and management of guest replies)
• Storage of invitation data

Availability

We strive for maximum availability of the Platform. However, we cannot guarantee 100% availability. In particular, maintenance work, security, or capacity reasons may lead to temporary disruptions.

Changes to Services

We reserve the right to expand, restrict, or modify the scope of services at any time. Significant changes will be communicated to users in a timely manner.

Registration

Registration is required to use the Platform. Truthful and complete information must be provided during registration. The user is obligated to keep their data up to date.

Registration is only permitted for natural persons who have reached the age of 18 and have full legal capacity.

Conclusion of Contract

By registering, the user makes a binding offer to conclude a usage agreement. We may accept this offer by sending a confirmation email or by activating access.

Access and Credentials

The user is obligated to keep their access credentials confidential and to protect them from access by third parties.

Permitted Use

The user agrees to use the Platform exclusively for lawful purposes. In particular, it is prohibited to:

• Violate the rights of third parties (copyrights, trademark rights, personal rights)
• Distribute content that violates legal regulations
• Publish harassing, defamatory, or obscene content
• Distribute viruses, trojans, or other harmful software
• Use the Platform in a way that impairs its functionality

Liability for Own Content

The user is solely responsible for the content they create and upload.

The user warrants that they hold all rights to the content they add and that, for personal data of third parties contained in or revealed by that content, they have the necessary legal basis, in particular the consent of the data subjects concerned. This also applies to special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR (such as information revealing religious beliefs, health, or ethnic origin).

Indemnification

The user shall indemnify us against all third-party claims arising from unlawful use of the Platform or a violation of these Terms, including a breach of the above warranties regarding rights to the content they add and the necessary consents of the data subjects concerned.

Prices and Credits

The user account and access to the Platform are free of charge. To publish invitations, invitation credits can be purchased for a one-time payment. This is a one-time purchase with no recurring subscription. The prices displayed during the order process are decisive. The operator is a small business (Kleinunternehmer) within the meaning of Section 19 of the German VAT Act (UStG); pursuant to Section 19 UStG, no value-added tax is shown or charged.

Payment Terms

Payment is processed through Polar (Polar Software Inc.), which acts as Merchant of Record (seller in its own name). Polar handles payment and shows or remits any value-added or sales tax that may apply under the relevant tax rules in its own name; any such tax is shown by Polar, not by the operator. The payment terms of Polar additionally apply. Payments are due immediately upon service delivery.

Right of Withdrawal

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal when purchasing invitation credits for a fee. As the service is provided in digital form, the right of withdrawal may expire prematurely if the consumer expressly consents to performance beginning before the expiry of the withdrawal period and acknowledges the resulting loss of the right of withdrawal. The details and the precise conditions are set out in our Cancellation Policy.

Rights to the Platform

All rights to the Platform, including its design, software, and provided content, remain with us or our licensors.

Rights to User Content

The user grants us a simple (non-exclusive) right to store, process, and use the content uploaded by them, to the extent necessary to provide and operate the services requested by the user (in particular to display the invitation via the shared link). We may pass on this right to service providers engaged by us (e.g. hosting and storage providers) to the extent necessary to operate the Platform. It ends upon deletion of the content or the user account, unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise.

Scope of Liability

We are fully liable for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health based on an intentional or negligent breach of duty.

For other damages, we are only liable in case of breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), but limited in amount to the foreseeable and contract-typical damages at the time of contract conclusion.

Data Loss

We strive to securely store user data. We are liable for the loss of data in accordance with the liability provisions above. The user is responsible for separately backing up content important to them; in that case, our liability for the restoration of data is limited to the effort that would have been required had the user properly backed up their data.

User Account and Closure

The free user account exists for an indefinite period. Either party may close or delete the user account at any time without notice; the user may delete their account themselves at any time. Purchased invitation credits are a one-time purchase and do not constitute a recurring subscription. The statutory right of withdrawal for the paid purchase is governed by our Cancellation Policy.

Extraordinary Termination

The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected.

Consequences of Termination

Upon termination of the contract, the right of use expires. Access to the Platform will be blocked. User content will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We process personal data of users in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). For details on data processing, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Where you have given your consent, we also use usage analytics to improve the Platform. Details on this and on how to withdraw your consent at any time can be found in our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to amend these Terms at any time with effect for the future, insofar as this is necessary to adapt to changed legal requirements or to introduce new features.

Users will be informed of significant changes by email or at the next login.

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