General terms and conditions
1. Scope

Boatopoly.com will subsequently be called “Boatopoly”.

through the order of our services or the usage of an offer or a service.
1.3 This platform is run in several languages. The main contract language however is always German.
2. Start and duration of the contract
2.1 The contract relationship starts directly after the customer’s order or after the advertisement publication by the customer. The advertisement publication will be activated

2.2 The duration of the contract can be 30, 90 or 365 days according to the offer of the advertisement order. As soon as the contract duration has expired, the advertisement
will automatically be changed to ‘expired’.

of more than one year. In such cases, and only in such cases, a termination is possible to the end of the next month.

3.5 The invoice is due directly after the publication. Boatopoly can cancel the contract without a claim to compensation and without any prior notice, if the customer does not pay.

outstanding amount, will the customer gain access again. For the time lost during the time of an outstanding and not settled invoice, the customer cannot request compensation
in form of an extension.

5. Publication interface
5.1 The publication of the advertisement obligates only Boatopoly – and no partner organisations – for services. The crawling, copying, linking or framing by third parties
of advertisement contents cannot be excluded with guarantee. In case of an illegal recording or copying of contents at Boatopoly, the customer cannot obtain damages
or compensation claims against Boatopoly.
5.2 Boatopoly is permitted to publish the advertisement on their own portal pages, on websites of portal partners as well as through the utilisation of entries into search engines.
5.3 The publication of the advertisement can furthermore occur through other channels or media portals, for example via email, banner or phone. Cooperation partners are
permitted to distribute the advertisement. For other measures, which were not explicitly ordered by the customer as part of the contract, and were utilised by Boatopoly or their
cooperation partners voluntarily, cannot result in further costs to the customer.
6. Editing of advertising texts
6.1 The editing of the advertisement content is permitted to the customer even after the publication, as far as changes do not result in a completely newly offered object
within the advertisement. Per advertisement activation only one offered object is permitted for the entire publication phase.
6.2 The advertisement can be featured with a display (perhaps a badge) reading “reduced price” for example at the customer’s request if certain criteria are met. The criteria
usually include that the article was at least offered at the higher price for at least ten days, and that the price reduction is at least three per cent. The right to these displays
does not exist and criteria can change.
7. Right to refusal
7.1 Individual customer offers can be refused by Boatopoly without citation of the reason.
7.2 Boatopoly can also carry out small adaptions regarding the advertisement content without the consent of the customer, if these changes are to the advantage of the customer
or for the clarity of content. Boatopoly is furthermore permitted to publish the advertisement in several languages.
7.3 If the terms and conditions are not adhered to by the customer, the publication of the advertisement can be denied.
7.4 Boatopoly is not obliged to fulfil their part of the contract if a justified reason is given. For example: an invoice not timely paid, an unsuccessful payment transaction with
electronic means such as credit card, direct debit etc., an unlawful and damaging behaviour on the portal, when false declarations were made by the customer.
7.5 Boatopoly is entitled to deactivation, suspension or deletion of advertisements if these restrict the rights of other parties. Including rights to the image, to the copyright or
property rights on names and brands, or when state laws are not adhered to. A deadline or previous notification can be waived if it is urgent.
The right to reimbursement of the fee is not given.
8. Contract obligation and tasks for the customer
8.1 The customer is liable for the publication of contents on the Internet and the causes resulting from that. A mandatory or automatic preliminary review before the
publication is not carried out by Boatopoly.
8.2 Contents which are generally unlawful are not permitted, those that breach the organisational codex, those that hold a discriminatory potential or those that violate a German,
European or international law. Those include a politically extreme, not suitable for minors, violence glorifying or otherwise immoral content. Not permitted are contents, which breach
the right on copyright of other parties.
8.3 Boatopoly is not obliged to carry out copies of customer contents for the purposes of data security. The customer must secure their data before the upload. Boatopoly creates
backups at certain times on their servers, but these can never represent the most current moment.

8.5 The creation and activation of the advertisement or other services lies in the remit of the customer.
8.6 The transfer of personal or user account access information (in particular the password) to other persons or the negligent and public accessibility is not permitted.
8.7 Boatopoly can suspend the delivery of the services as well as the contract without any notice or deadline given, even without offering compensation, if the customer does not
adhere to parts of the terms and conditions or violates the terms of service.
9. Early deletion of advertisement
9.1 After the publication the customer can delete their advertisement at any time. If the sale object is sold effectively, the customer is obliged to take their advertisement out of the
offer range in order not to prevent another misleading offer and to reduce unnecessary requests.
9.2 The deactivation or deletion of an advertisement is carried out by the customer – with the login and user data.
9.3 If the customer should choose to delete their advertisement before the expiry of their entered contract duration, the validity of the contract stays unaffected.
9.4 With the publication of the customer advertisement on the portal by Boatopoly, their service has already been provided even though the advertisement may be deleted or
deactivated by the customer due to a sale before the end of the contract duration. A reimbursement of the publication fee is therefore not possible, nor in a pro rata calculation
according to the publication duration.
10. Liability and Warranty

of our portal. The customer must weigh up and carry this risk.

the unlimited access and an error-free data offer cannot be guaranteed either.
10.5 Boatopoly cannot be liable for potentially caused consequences by external parties disrupting the infrastructure of the Internet.
10.6 The supplier or the seller is liable for the offered objects to the customer. Boatopoly cannot be held responsible for purchase agreements or contract agreements
