The Commission of the European Union provides an internet platform for online dispute resolution (so-called ODR platform). The ODR platform serves as a possibility for the out-of-court settlement of disputes regarding contractual obligations from online purchase contracts or contracts between consumers and entrepreneurs with residence/registered office in the European Union. The platform can be accessed by clicking on the following link: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
According to the VSBG (Consumer Dispute Resolution Act), cross-border and non-cross-border disputes regarding contractual obligations arising from sales contracts or service contracts between a trader domiciled in the European Union and a consumer domiciled in the European Union may be brought before a consumer arbitration board in order to achieve an out-of-court settlement of the dispute. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board with regard to disputes arising from contracts with our customers.

This means that the job is visible to all participants on the Global Jobwall and participants can contact the advertising company directly regarding the advertised job. Direct contact is not made possible via the talentefinder website and therefore participants and companies are responsible for this themselves.
Publication on the Global Jobwall will be for at least one month from the date of publication.
The company can remove the advertised position from the Global Jobwall before the end of the first month, e.g. in case of a successful filling of the position, but is still obliged to pay the price for a full month.
After the expiry of the month, the contract on the respective publication of the job advertisement on the Global Jobwall shall be extended by a further month in each case.
At the end of the first month after the publication of the respective job advertisement, the contract for the respective publication of the job advertisement on the Global Jobwall can be terminated for the first time. Thereafter, the contract for the respective job advertisement on the Global Jobwall may be terminated without notice at any time.
If a job advertisement is published on the Global Jobwall during the current month, this month will be invoiced on a pro rata basis. The same applies to cancellation during the current month, with the exception of the first month of publication.
The invoiced amounts are due for payment within a period of 14 days by way of the selected payment method (see clause 12.).
talentefinder reserves the right to remove job advertisements from the Global Jobwall that violate the law or are racist, sexist or discriminatory in any other way. In such cases, the respective company shall not be entitled to a refund of the amounts already paid or shall continue to be obliged to pay any amounts owed.
"Confidential Information" means all information exchanged between the Parties under this Agreement, whether orally or in writing, which is designated as confidential or which is to be regarded as confidential due to the circumstances of the transmission, in particular the provisions of this Agreement. This applies in particular to any key economic figures of talentefinder, usage statistics and evaluations as well as other information on the technical implementation of the portal and its economic success. Not deemed to be confidential information is such information which was already demonstrably known to the other party prior to the communication without being subject to a confidentiality agreement, which becomes publicly known during the term of the contract without a breach of contract by the parties, which was independently developed during the term of the contract by employees of the parties who did not have access to the confidential information, which is disclosed by the communicating party to third parties without a confidentiality provision or which is required to be made public by virtue of an enforceable order or other ruling of a court, authority or other governmental organisation. In the latter case, however, the addressee of the decision undertakes to inform the other party thereof without delay and to provide it with appropriate support in the context of a legal challenge to such a decision. In principle, all technical information is part of the confidential information, unless it is distributed under an open source licence.
The receiving party undertakes to treat all confidential information as strictly confidential and not to use it or make it available to third parties except for the purpose of fulfilling the contract. The receiving party may only disclose the information to its management, employees and consultants to the extent that they are also subject to confidentiality under these provisions and to the extent that they are concerned with the matters of this contract. The Receiving Party shall take all reasonable steps to prevent any unauthorised use of the Confidential Information and shall promptly notify the Providing Party of any suspected unauthorised use or disclosure.
talentefinder shall be entitled to name companies as reference customers using the logo on the website of talentefinder and in its other self-presentation for as long as the contractual relationship (the registration) exists.
As soon as premium functions are offered by talentefinder, the GTC will be updated with regard to the payment options.
The data posted by the company in the profile may be viewed as part of the profile by the participating and registered users and the respective event organiser. This is necessary so that all participants have the opportunity to use the job event effectively for themselves, in particular to present themselves, find matches and arrange professional dates. talentefinder is entitled to analyse and evaluate the data and (where necessary in anonymised form) to make the results of this analysis and evaluation available to the company itself or the event organiser.
The contract concluded between talentefinder and the company shall be valid for an indefinite period of time, unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise upon conclusion of the contract.
The parties may terminate the registration with two months' notice. The ordinary termination on the part of talentefinder is excluded if there are ongoing bookings subject to a fee by the company beyond the termination period.
The company can terminate the contract by sending an e-mail to support@talentefinder.de. The e-mail must contain the user name of the account and the e-mail address stored in the company's account.
The Company may also terminate the contract via the official website by selecting the account options provided for this purpose.
The right of both parties to extraordinary termination remains unaffected by this.
In the event of an ordinary termination of the contract by the user or an extraordinary termination by talentefinder due to the fault of the user, talentefinder shall not be obliged to return or refund any advertisements or services already booked. In this respect, talentefinder's claim to remuneration shall remain valid if the remuneration has not yet been paid in full.
The right to extraordinary termination by talentefinder exists in particular:
if the user deliberately violates these general terms and conditions of use despite receipt of a reminder to this effect from talentefinder;
if there are special circumstances in which talentefinder cannot reasonably be expected to adhere to the contract, in particular in the event of the commission of criminal offences under the Criminal Code (StGB) or the commercial use of the game, in which case a reminder is not required.
Instead of termination for good cause, talentefinder may block the company's account for a period of up to one month. No payments are due for the duration of the blocking.
