These General Terms and Conditions govern the use of the platform and services offered by Olena Bazukolova on deutsch-vorbereitung.com. The offer includes in particular digital learning content for preparing for German language tests from level A1 to C2, content for preparing for naturalization tests, games, blog posts, video tutorials, as well as supporting services related to application documents, in particular assistance with creating and revising résumés and motivation letters. In addition, licenses may be offered to language schools, educational providers, and other businesses.
These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts between Olena Bazlukova, hereinafter referred to as the “Provider”, and the users of the platform deutsch-vorbereitung.com.
Users within the meaning of these terms include both consumers and entrepreneurs. A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly cannot be attributed to their commercial or self-employed professional activity. An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding the contract, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.
For entrepreneurs, in particular language schools, course providers, educational institutions and other commercial customers, the special provisions in clause 15 additionally apply.
Conflicting or deviating general terms and conditions of the user shall not become part of the contract unless the provider expressly agrees to their validity in text form.
The provider supplies digital content and digital services. These may include in particular:
The specific scope of services results from the respective service description on the platform at the time the contract is concluded.
Free content may be offered without registration or after free registration. Paid content and functions may be offered as a single purchase, package, time-limited access, subscription, or in another explicitly indicated form.
The provider currently offers in particular the following consumer models:
Within the framework of free registration for application support, the user may currently create one résumé and three motivation letters. In addition, paid packages may be offered for 10 résumés, 50 motivation letters, or a combination of 10 résumés and 50 motivation letters.
Insofar as the provider merely provides templates, formulation assistance, technical tools, or linguistic support, the provider does not owe any specific learning, examination, application, or placement success.
Where the provider offers individual assistance with application documents, the service is limited to linguistic, structural, and editorial support unless expressly agreed otherwise.
Registration is required to use certain content.
The user is obligated to provide complete and accurate information during registration and to keep this information up to date.
In principle, only one user account per natural person is permitted unless the provider explicitly allows another form of use. The user account is generally personal and not transferable to third parties. As an exception, private shared use by family members within the same household is permitted. A user account may be used on a maximum of three devices. Simultaneous use of the account on several devices or by multiple persons is not permitted. If there are concrete indications of unauthorized multiple use, the provider is entitled to temporarily block access and request a statement from the user. If the violation is confirmed or the user fails to provide a statement that resolves the accusation within a reasonable period of time, the provider is entitled to terminate the contract for cause without notice.
The user must keep their access data confidential and protect it from access by unauthorized third parties.
The user is obliged to inform the provider immediately if there are indications that a user account has been used without authorization or that access data has been lost.
The provider may refuse registrations unless mandatory legal provisions prevent this.
The user may subscribe to various informational newsletters of the provider through their user account. Subscription is voluntary. Unsubscribing is possible at any time via the user account or through the unsubscribe link contained in the respective emails with effect for the future.
If paid contracts are to be concluded with minors, the required consent of their legal representatives is necessary. The provider is entitled to request appropriate proof.
The presentation of the services on the platform does not constitute a binding offer but an invitation for the user to submit an offer.
In the case of free services that require registration, the contract is concluded upon completion of the registration and activation of the user account.
In the case of paid services, the user submits a binding offer by completing the order process. The contract is concluded as soon as the provider confirms the order or activates access to the booked service.
The contract text is stored by the provider within the framework of the legal requirements. Details regarding the accessibility of the contract text, the technical steps involved in concluding the contract, the options for correcting input errors, and the available contract languages result from the pre-contractual information on the platform.
The provider currently offers a free entry with a total of 15 exercises. The first 5 exercises can be used without registration.
A free registration is required for the remaining 10 exercises.
The provider may provide certain additional content either fully or partially free of charge.
The provider is entitled to change, restrict, or discontinue the scope, structure, and availability of free content in the future, provided that no existing paid contractual obligations are violated.
Free registration does not create a right to permanent free access to specific content or functions.
The prices displayed on the platform at the time the contract is concluded apply to paid services.
Unless otherwise indicated, prices for consumers include the statutory value-added tax, while prices for entrepreneurs are stated plus statutory value-added tax.
In the consumer sector, the provider currently offers in particular the following paid models:
Within the framework of free registration, the provider may also offer a free package containing one résumé and three motivation letters.
Payment is due upon conclusion of the contract unless otherwise specified in the service description, the invoice, or the order process.
For one-month access, payment methods currently available include credit card, Klarna, P24, iDeal, EPS bank transfer, WeChat, RevolutPay, and Bancontact.
For three-month access, payment is made exclusively by bank transfer.
The payment methods available for the respective product are displayed to the user during the order process.
For subscriptions or fixed-term access, the duration, billing period, renewal, and cancellation conditions result from the respective product description and the order process. The provider reserves the right to change prices for existing continuing obligations if there is an objective reason for doing so, in particular changes in taxes, levies, procurement costs, or technical operating costs. For consumers, price changes apply only to future billing periods. Price changes will be announced by the provider at least 30 days in advance.
If the user is in default of payment, the statutory provisions apply.
Statutory rights of the user, in particular statutory withdrawal rights and warranty rights, remain unaffected by the above provisions.
The provider grants the user, for the duration of the contract, a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to use the provided content and functions within the contractually agreed scope for their own private learning purposes.
Any use of the content beyond the contractually intended purpose is prohibited. In particular, the following are not permitted:
Mandatory statutory rights, in particular under copyright law, remain unaffected.
The user may use the platform only in accordance with applicable laws and these terms.
The user is obligated to provide only such content, documents, and information that they are authorized to use, process, and transmit.
If the user uploads or submits résumés, certificates, evidence, cover letters, or other documents for application support, the user confirms that the information contained therein is accurate and that no third-party rights are violated.
It is prohibited to transmit or make accessible unlawful, insulting, discriminatory, pornographic, violence-glorifying, inciting, misleading, or otherwise impermissible content.
The user must not use the platform in a manner that impairs the functionality, security, or availability of the platform.
The provider does not guarantee success in job applications, invitations to interviews, the conclusion of employment contracts with employers, or the placement in a job.
The provider does not guarantee that the wording suggestions provided are complete in content, legally required, or fully suitable for an individual case.
The user remains solely responsible for the factual accuracy and completeness of their application documents.
All content provided on the platform, in particular texts, exercises, videos, graphics, games, templates, structures, databases, and software components, is protected by copyright or other legal protections.
All rights to this content remain with the provider or the respective rights holders.
The user receives only the usage rights explicitly granted in these terms.
Editing, reproduction, distribution, or public presentation beyond statutory limitations or beyond the contractually granted use is not permitted.
If the user transmits documents or content to the provider, particularly within the framework of application support, the rights to such materials remain with the user.
The user grants the provider a simple, non-exclusive right limited to the execution of the contract to store, process, technically modify, and use these documents and contents insofar as this is necessary to provide the contractually agreed services.
Any further use will occur only if there is a separate legal basis or the user has expressly consented.
The provider strives to ensure a high level of availability of the platform. However, uninterrupted availability cannot be guaranteed.
The provider is entitled to temporarily restrict the platform in whole or in part for technical, security-related, legal, or operational reasons if this is necessary while taking into account the interests of the users.
In the case of paid contracts for digital products that are provided permanently or repeatedly, the provider may make changes to the digital products if:
If there are concrete indications of a violation of these terms, particularly in the case of unauthorized multiple use, sharing of access data, circumvention of technical protection measures, or payment default, the provider may temporarily block individual functions at its reasonable discretion.
If a serious or repeated violation is confirmed after the expiration of a reasonable period, the provider is entitled to terminate the contract for cause and block the user account.
Contracts for free services that require registration run for an indefinite period and may be terminated by either party at any time in text form or via the functions provided for this purpose, unless otherwise agreed in individual cases.
The monthly subscription priced at 7.99 euros is a continuous subscription with automatic monthly renewal.
For access for one month priced at 9.99 euros and for access for three months priced at 29.99 euros, the right of use ends upon expiration of the respective booked period without the need for termination.
For paid packages for creating résumés and motivation letters, the contractual relationship ends upon full provision or use of the respective booked package unless otherwise stated in the order process. The right to extraordinary termination for cause remains unaffected.
An important reason for the provider exists in particular if the user:
Statutory rights of consumers, in particular termination and ending rights in the case of defects in digital products, remain unaffected.
Consumers are entitled to the statutory defect rights.
If digital products are the subject of a consumer contract, the statutory provisions governing consumer contracts for digital products also apply.
For entrepreneurs, statutory provisions apply to defects with the provision that the provider may initially choose the method of subsequent performance.
Obvious defects and malfunctions should be reported to the provider without delay so that an examination and remedy can take place. The statutory rights of the user remain unaffected.
The provider is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence.
The provider is liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health.
In the event of slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation, the provider’s liability is limited in amount to the typical, foreseeable damage under the contract. Essential contractual obligations are obligations whose fulfillment makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the user may regularly rely.
Otherwise, the provider’s liability for slight negligence is excluded.
Liability under the Product Liability Act and liability arising from assumed guarantees remain unaffected.
If the provider’s liability is excluded or limited, this also applies in favor of its legal representatives, employees, and agents.
The above liability provisions do not apply to claims of the user due to defects insofar as mandatory statutory provisions provide otherwise.
Consumers have a right of withdrawal if the statutory requirements are met.
The details result from the separate withdrawal policy provided to the consumer at the time the contract is concluded.
If contracts concern digital content or digital services, a separate explicit consent or confirmation by the consumer in accordance with statutory provisions is required for the early expiration of the withdrawal right. Acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions alone does not replace such consent.
If the provider is to begin providing services before the withdrawal period expires, the provider may require an explicit request from the consumer.
The provider may send contract-related communications, in particular registration confirmations, information about bookings, payment information, security notifications, or service-related information, to the email address provided by the user to the extent necessary for the execution of the contract.
Marketing communication via email, telephone, messenger services, or the transfer of data to third parties for advertising or referral purposes will occur only if the user has given valid consent.
Any consent given in an individual case may be revoked by the user at any time with effect for the future.
This clause applies additionally if the contractual partner is an entrepreneur and obtains services for language schools, educational providers, course providers, employers, or other institutions.
The provider currently offers in particular the following tariffs for language schools and courses:
The number of learners in the “Small School” tariff serves as a guideline. If a school has a special format or includes several locations, the appropriate model will be determined through individual agreement.
The scope of the business license, in particular the number of authorized users, duration, area of use, technical access options, and remuneration, otherwise results from the respective offer or individual agreement.
The school license is exclusively teacher-related. It may only be used by the respective teacher or the teachers named in the contract during lessons. Use on devices of students or course participants is not permitted. In particular, students or course participants may not receive their own logins and may not access the platform on their own devices using the teacher’s login unless expressly agreed otherwise.
Within the framework of the school license, it is permitted for the teacher to present content during lessons and work on it with the learning group, in particular via screen, projector, or comparable presentation forms. However, the license does not entitle the teacher to provide students or course participants with individual or direct device access to the platform.
A normal individual subscription is intended exclusively for a single person and does not cover use for entire classes or groups. A school license is required for teaching groups.
Without explicit agreement, the entrepreneur is not permitted to:
The entrepreneur must ensure that use takes place exclusively by the contractually agreed group of persons and must take appropriate organizational measures to prevent unauthorized use by students, course participants, or other third parties.
In the event of a violation of the above provisions, the provider is entitled to temporarily block affected access after prior notification. The entrepreneur will be given the opportunity to comment and to immediately remedy the contractual violation within a reasonable period.
If the violation is not remedied within the deadline or if it constitutes a serious or repeated violation, the provider is entitled to terminate the contract for cause, permanently block access, and recalculate the remuneration for additional actual use according to the applicable license model. The right to claim further damages remains reserved.
The household use regulated in clause 7 does not apply to business licenses.
With respect to entrepreneurs, the provider is entitled to make the provision of services dependent on timely payment.
With respect to entrepreneurs, the place of jurisdiction, where legally permissible, is the registered office of the provider.
The provider may offer registered users participation in a partner program. Participation in the partner program requires separate approval by the provider. There is no entitlement to be admitted to the partner program.
Participants in the partner program receive an individual promo code or an individual referral link. This may be used exclusively to promote the provider’s platform in the participant’s own name and in compliance with applicable laws and these terms and conditions.
Users who use a partner’s promo code or referral link may receive the benefits defined by the provider at that time, in particular a discount on subscriptions or other paid access. The type and amount of the respective benefit result from the description of the partner program valid at the time of use.
The partner receives remuneration for effectively referred orders that are actually paid by the referred user in accordance with the applicable conditions of the partner program. In particular, no remuneration is owed for self-referrals, abusive multiple registrations, cancellations, chargebacks, refunds, or other payments that are not finally completed.
The partner is prohibited from using the promo code or referral link in a misleading, unlawful, or harassing manner. In particular, spam advertising, false statements about the platform or its services, the use of third-party trademarks without authorization, and any form of abusive self-referral are prohibited.
The provider is entitled to refuse, restrict, or terminate participation in the partner program for objective reasons. An objective reason exists in particular in the case of violations of these terms and conditions, abusive use of the promo code or referral link, incorrect information provided by the partner, or justified doubts about the legality of the promotional measures.
In the event of violations of the partner program conditions, the provider is entitled to temporarily deactivate the promo code or referral link, withhold outstanding remuneration, cancel remuneration already credited but not yet paid out, and terminate participation in the partner program for cause. Further statutory claims of the provider remain unaffected.
The provider may change the conditions of the partner program with effect for the future if there is an objective reason for doing so, in particular in the event of changes to the business model, technical processes, remuneration structure, or legal framework. The partner will be informed of significant changes in due time in text form or through their user account. If the partner does not agree with a significant change, they may terminate their participation in the partner program with effect from the date on which the change comes into force.
Upon termination of participation in the partner program, the right to use the promo code or referral link ends. From that time onward, no promotional measures using the promo code or referral link may be carried out.
The provider does not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has their habitual residence is not withdrawn.
If individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions become wholly or partially invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
Changes and additions to the contract must be made at least in text form unless a stricter form is required by law.
