Right of cancellation

As a consumer, you have the right to cancel this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The cancellation period is fourteen days from the conclusion of the contract. In order to exercise your right of cancellation, you must inform us, Space Republic, authorised representative: Philipp Scheidemann, Neersener Str. 17a, 40547 Düsseldorf, phone: + 49 176 57873007, e-mail: hello @ spacerepublic.eu, of your decision to cancel this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You can use the attached sample cancellation form, but this is not mandatory.

You can also electronically complete and submit the model cancellation form or another clear declaration on our website www.spacerepublic.eu. If you make use of this option, we will immediately send you a confirmation of receipt of such a cancellation (e.g. by e-mail).

In order to comply with the cancellation period, it is sufficient for you to send the notification of the exercise of the right of cancellation before the expiry of the cancellation period.

Consequences of cancellation

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this repayment.

If you have requested that the services should commence during the cancellation period, you must pay us a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided by the time you inform us of the exercise of the right of cancellation with regard to this contract compared to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract.

2. General Terms and Conditions

General Terms and Conditions of Space Republic, authorised managing director: Philipp Scheidemann, Neersener Str. 17a, 40547 Düsseldorf, telephone: + 49 176 57873007, e-mail: hello @ spacerepublic.eu – hereinafter referred to as “Space Republic”.

§1 General

(1) By means of the platform www.spacerepublic.eu (hereinafter: Platform), Space Republic offers a business directory in the field of mobility, on which services of all kinds (“Services”) can be offered (in this capacity “Service Provider”) and purchased (in this capacity “Customer”) by natural and legal persons and partnerships. Space Republic itself does not offer any services and does not become a contracting party to the contracts concluded exclusively between the Customers and the Service Providers of this business directory.

(2) Space Republic provides a platform specialising in www.spacerepublic.eu as a business directory through which service providers can offer industry-relevant services to interested customers via their own profile, which they can then purchase from the service provider.

(3) Offers and other content published by Service Providers via the Platform do not represent the opinion of Space Republic and are generally not checked by Space Republic for their legality, accuracy and completeness.

(4) It is the responsibility of the service provider to ensure that its offers and content (in particular images and other information) are lawful and do not infringe the rights of third parties.

(5) These General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively. Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions shall only become part of the contract if and insofar as Space Republic has expressly agreed to their validity. This requirement of consent shall apply in any case.

§2 Registration

(1) Registration with a current e-mail address and the desired password is required to use the platform. Upon registration, Space Republic will send you a clickable link by e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided. The platform can be used after clicking on the link. Use is free of charge for customers. Service providers can make a business entry free of charge or take out a paid annual subscription with Space Republic.

(2) Each customer or service provider may only create one user account. Transfer to third parties is not permitted. Customers/service providers are also obliged to keep their password secret. In the event of misuse of the account or suspicion thereof and in the event of misuse or loss of the password, Space Republic must be notified immediately.

(3) After activating the platform for use, service providers can create a profile and offer their services. 

(4) Space Republic is entitled to refuse the publication of profiles if the profile does not correspond to the specialisation or the reliability of the information has not been sufficiently proven.

§3 Prices and payment methods

(1) In order to present the business listing more prominently and extensively, service providers can conclude a fee-based annual subscription contract with Space Republic.

(2) The service provider can choose between the options offered on the website.

(3) The presentation and advertising of options on the website does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a contract.

(4) Only when an order is sent via the website by clicking on the button “order with obligation to pay” do service providers place a legally binding order. A contract is concluded when the Service Provider’s order is accepted by a declaration of acceptance from Space Republic or the service is provided.

(5) After conclusion of the subscription contract, the service provider may fill its profile with offers and information for the agreed duration. In principle, the Service Provider is free in the design and content of its offer within the framework of § 2 (4). However, the Service Provider is responsible for compliance with the statutory provisions and indemnifies Space Republic against all damages or claims by third parties due to violations. Space Republic is therefore not liable for content and information provided by the service provider in its profile. Space Republic is not obliged to check the profiles of service providers for compliance with the law. Space Republic is also not obliged to check whether service providers own the rights to copyrighted works used by them or other protected rights of third parties.

(6) The subscription prices stated on the website are net amounts and are therefore subject to statutory VAT.

(7) The agreed subscription price is due for payment immediately and, unless expressly agreed otherwise, can only be paid using the payment methods shown on the website.

(8) Service providers are not entitled to offset claims against claims of Space Republic unless the counterclaims have been legally established or are undisputed.

§4 Term and termination

(1) Customers may terminate the free user contract at any time.

(2) In order to offer services, the Service Provider must conclude a paid subscription with Space Republic. Unless otherwise agreed, the subscription is concluded for a period of 12 months and is extended by a further 12 months in each case, unless it is cancelled by one of the parties with three months’ notice to the end of the initial term or each renewal period.

(3) The possibility of extraordinary cancellation for good cause for the contracting parties remains unaffected by this.

(4) Cancellation shall be in text form.

§5 GTC and right of cancellation

Service providers who offer goods or services to consumers in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity are obliged to provide them with the legally prescribed consumer protection information and to inform them of the existence or non-existence of the statutory right of cancellation.

§6 Availability and archiving

(1) No specific availability of the Platform is owed.

(2) Space Republic reserves the right to temporarily or permanently suspend the provision of the services (or functions within the services) for individual or all users. Where possible, Space Republic will provide reasonable advance notice of any changes or restrictions to the Services.

(3) Space Republic is not liable for the loss of data due to any technical malfunction or discontinuation of services.

(4) As soon as the cooperation between Space Republic and the customer/service provider is terminated, all data will be irrevocably deleted after one month at the latest and will no longer be accessible.

(5) The service provider shall ensure that all data, documents and records required by it are filed with it and stored in accordance with statutory periods. In the case of invoices, the service provider shall also receive a copy of the invoice for each business transaction at the e-mail address provided. The legally required filing and archiving of all necessary documents is the sole responsibility of the service provider.

§7 Liability

(1) Space Republic is liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for intentional or negligent injury to life, body and health as well as from the assumption of guarantees.

(2) Otherwise, Space Republic shall only be liable for damages caused by negligence in the event of a breach of an obligation which is essential for the proper fulfilment of the contract and on the fulfilment of which you may regularly rely. In this case, Space Republic’s liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

(3) Insofar as Space Republic’s liability for damages that are not based on injury to life, body or health is not excluded for slight negligence, such claims shall become time-barred within one year beginning at the end of the year in which the claim arose and the creditor becomes aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim and the person of the debtor or should have become aware of them without gross negligence.

(4) Space Republic’s liability under the provisions of the German Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG) remains unaffected.

§8 Indemnification

(1) Service Providers shall indemnify Space Republic against all claims asserted by customers or other third parties against Space Republic due to infringement of their rights by offers and other content posted by the Service Provider via the Space Republic Services or due to the Service Provider’s other use of the Space Republic Services. The service provider shall bear the costs of Space Republic’s necessary legal defence, including all court and legal fees at the statutory rate.

(2) This does not apply if the Service Provider is not responsible for the infringement. In the event of a claim by third parties, the Service Provider is obliged to provide Space Republic immediately, truthfully and completely with all information necessary for the examination of the claims and a defence.

§9 Blocking of profiles

If the content to be published or already published violates legal requirements, official prohibitions, third-party rights, common decency or the GTC of Space Republic, Space Republic is authorised to block profiles temporarily or permanently.

§10 Price adjustment

(1) Space Republic is entitled to adjust the prices from time to time at its reasonable discretion to reflect the effects of changes in the total costs associated with the service. Examples of cost elements that affect Space Republic’s subscription prices are

• Rent (33%)
• Energy (11%)
• External services (12%)
• Personnel (24%)
• Service providers/freelancers (10%)
• Other (10%)

(You will find the respective weighting in brackets.)

(2) Price changes become effective at the earliest 30 days after the announcement.

§11 Place of fulfillment, applicable law, place of jurisdiction, dispute resolution

(1) To the extent permitted by law, the place of fulfillment and payment shall be the office of Space Republic.

(2) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to the exclusion of the conflict of laws provisions of private international law and to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a natural person who concludes the legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to your commercial nor your independent professional activity, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not deprive you of the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the state in which you have your habitual residence.

(3) If you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or in another EU member state, or if you are a merchant or a legal entity under public law, or if you have moved your permanent place of residence abroad after these GTC have come into effect, or if your place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is filed, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be the registered office of Space Republic.

(4) We do not participate in any dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board within the meaning of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (Verbraucherstreitbeilegungsgesetz).
