GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (GC) FOR TEXTADS
1. SUBJECT MATTER AND SCOPE
These General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) apply to all business relationships between airtango media GmbH (hereinafter “airtango media”) and advertisers (“Customers”) in connection with the publication of banner advertisements (hereinafter “TextAds”) on the advertising spaces operated by airtango media on screens in airtango Instore TV. The offer is fundamentally aimed at tradespeople and is generally processed via the payment service provider Digistore24. The prices shown on the booking screen are therefore always net prices.
2. CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT / TERMS OF SALE
2.1 A booking (order) of TextAd constitutes an offer by the customer to airtango media to conclude a sales contract. After selecting the range (location, radius, number of insertions) and accepting the design of the TextAd as well as these General Terms and Conditions (in each case by actively checking the appropriate box), the customer shall submit his binding offer by clicking on the “SUBMIT BOOKING” button.
airtango media confirms an order for the delivery of TextAd by sending an order confirmation. A contract of sale for the provision of TextAd services is concluded when airtango media (premium partner/powerseller) or the payment service provider Digistore24 confirms the purchase with an additional e-mail.
The booking is billed by Digistore24 on the basis of the booking parameters entered. This includes the basic scope of services and the circumstances of the contract terms tailored to each individual case. The general terms and conditions of Digistore24 can be found at: www.digistore24.com/page/terms.
