Terms of Service

English summary — the German original is legally binding.

1. Scope

These Terms govern all contracts between Cengizhan Akbudak („we", „us") and the customer („you") for the use of the services available at https://mekyn.com, including the website builder, SEO optimizer, backlink propagator and social-media module.

Any deviating or supplementary terms proposed by you do not become part of the contract unless we expressly agree in writing.

2. Contracting Party and Services

The contractual partner is Cengizhan Akbudak, Björnsongasse 29, 1130 Wien, Austria (see Imprint for full details).

We provide the mekyn platform on a subscription basis. The exact scope depends on the selected plan (Lite, Plus, Pro or Max). We may evolve individual features provided the contractually promised functionality is not materially reduced.

3. Conclusion and Termination

The presentation of services on our website is not a binding offer. By submitting the order form you make a binding offer. The contract is formed when we confirm in text form (e.g. e-mail) or begin performance.

The contract runs for an indefinite term. Either party may terminate with one month's notice to the end of the current billing period. Annual subscriptions require notice of one month to the end of the contract year.

Extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. In particular, we may terminate extraordinarily if you repeatedly breach your obligations under these Terms or use the platform for unlawful purposes.

4. Pricing and Payment

Prices are as shown in the pricing page at the time of order and are quoted in Euros plus statutory VAT unless stated otherwise.

Billing is monthly or annually in advance. Payment is due within 14 days of invoice date without deduction. In the event of late payment we are entitled to charge statutory default interest and temporarily suspend access.

Price increases are permitted with 60 days' notice; you may then terminate the contract to take effect when the change enters into force.

5. Customer Obligations

• You must ensure that content you upload does not infringe third-party rights.
• You may not use the platform to distribute unlawful or objectionable content.
• You are responsible for the security of your login credentials and must report suspected misuse immediately.
• If you build websites with end-customer contact, you must maintain your own legally required disclosures (imprint, privacy policy).
• You must verify the accuracy of content you publish, unless you use automatically generated content.
• You indemnify us against third-party claims arising from infringement of rights by content you upload.

6. Availability and Maintenance

We target 99.5 % annual average availability, excluding planned maintenance windows. The Max plan includes separate SLA terms (99.95 %).

Scheduled maintenance is performed outside business hours (Mon–Fri, 8 a.m.–8 p.m. CET) where possible and announced at least 48 hours in advance in the status dashboard. Security patches may be applied at short notice.

7. Liability and Warranty

We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence. For simple negligence we are liable only for breach of cardinal obligations and limited to the typical, foreseeable contractual damage. Liability for lost profits or indirect consequential damages is excluded for simple negligence except where mandatory law provides otherwise.

Liability under the Product Liability Act and for injury to life, body or health remains unaffected.

The limitation period for warranty claims is two years for consumers and one year for businesses. Defects must be reported without delay.

8. Data Protection and Processing Agreement

We process personal data solely in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Hosting and processing takes place exclusively on servers within the European Union.

If you process personal data of third parties through the platform, we enter into a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under Article 28 GDPR. The current DPA template is available at mekyn.com/de/rechtliches/avv-template/.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). This choice of law applies to consumers only to the extent that it does not restrict mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the state in which they are habitually resident.

Place of jurisdiction is Wien, provided the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
