Terms of Service

§ 1 Scope

These General Terms of Service (hereinafter "Terms") apply to all contracts concluded between Cengizhan Akbudak e.U (hereinafter "Provider") and the customer for the services accessible at https://mekyn.com (in particular website builder, SEO optimizer, backlink propagator and social media module).

Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of the customer will not become part of the contract unless the Provider expressly agrees to their application in writing.

§ 2 Contract conclusion

The presentation of services on the website does not constitute a binding offer. By submitting the order form, the customer submits a binding offer. The contract is concluded upon confirmation by the Provider in text form (e.g. email) or upon initial provision of the service.

§ 3 Scope of services

The Provider makes the platform available to the customer for use depending on the booked plan. The specific scope of services results from the respective plan description. Plans range from "Starter" via "Professional" and "Business" to "Enterprise".

The Provider is entitled to further develop individual service features, provided that the contractually owed range of functions is not materially restricted.

§ 4 Availability

The Provider aims for platform availability of 99.5 % on an annual average, measured over the rental period, excluding planned maintenance windows. For the "Enterprise" plan, different service levels apply according to individual agreement (99.95 %).

§ 5 Prices and payment

Prices are based on the price overview valid at the time of order and, unless otherwise stated, are exclusive of VAT.

Billing is done monthly or annually in advance. Payments are due within 14 days of invoicing without deductions. In case of default of payment, the Provider is entitled to charge statutory default interest and temporarily block access to the platform.

§ 6 Customer obligations

• The customer ensures that the content they publish does not infringe any third-party rights.
• The customer undertakes not to use the platform for the distribution of illegal or offensive content.
• The customer is responsible for the security of their access data and reports any suspected misuse to the Provider immediately.
• When creating websites with end-customer contact, the customer undertakes to properly maintain their own mandatory information (imprint, privacy policy).

§ 7 Contract term and termination

The contract is concluded for an indefinite period. Both parties may terminate the contractual relationship with one month's notice to the end of the respective billing period. For annual subscriptions, termination with the same notice period to the end of the contract year is possible.

The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. In particular, the Provider is entitled to extraordinary termination if the customer repeatedly breaches its obligations under § 6.

Terminations may be made in text form (email) or via the termination function in the dashboard.

§ 8 Data export and anti-lock-in

The customer receives the ability to export their published content and all generated website data in machine-readable form at any time (ZIP archive with HTML/CSS, GitHub push, WordPress XML, Markdown). This option exists even after the end of the contract for at least 30 days.

§ 9 Liability

The Provider is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence. In cases of simple negligence, the Provider is only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations and limited to the typically foreseeable damage. Liability for lost profits or indirect consequential damages is excluded in cases of simple negligence, unless mandatorily required by law.

Liability under the Product Liability Act as well as for damages arising from injury to life, body or health remains unaffected.

§ 10 Data protection

The Provider processes personal data exclusively in accordance with its Privacy Policy. Insofar as the customer processes personal data of third parties within the scope of using the platform, the parties conclude a separate data processing agreement (DPA).

§ 11 Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not restrict mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country of residence. Place of jurisdiction is Wien, insofar as the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.

Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
