GENERAL CONDITIONS OF USE

(as of February 20, 2010)

1. Validity of the Conditions
In the following the maintainer of the website, Dr. Daniel Köster (for address see imprint), will be abbreviated as "EADA". The General Conditions of Use are valid for all business transactions between the user and EADA.

2. Concepts
In the following we will refer to as an "offer" any advertisement for services stored on, processed, and publicly visible in electronic form on the web pages of EADA for a specified period of time. Only persons willing to perform services or looking for persons to help them are to advertise on EADA. This implies that no commercial advertisements not involving service offers, or other irrelevant information may be submitted to EADA. We will define as "transaction partners" the author of an advertisement as well as the person booking such an advertisement thereby receiving contact details of the author.

3. Processing of personal information
The user explicitly grants his or her permission to EADA to store and process submitted personal data in electronic form. This permission may be revoked at any time. Personal information is exclusively used for the purpose of maintaining the online operations of EADA. Personal data may be submitted to transaction partners.

4. Protection from abuse, login
EADA highly values anonymity. To protect personal data from abuse we require users to choose anonymous logins for the registration. The login string may not contain telephone numbers, email addresses, web pages, postal addresses, company or private names, or any related information.

5. Offers
Each user may publish his contact details directly in the offer. Offers may also be written in an anonymous fashion. The main purpose of this is the protection of personal data such as name, telephone number, postal or electronic mail addresses from any form of abuse.

6. Booking
The possibility of booking offers is only available to registered users of EADA. After booking an offer EADA will exchange contact details of the transaction partners. Any further steps undertaken by the transaction partners are not under the control of EADA.

7. Concluded offers
An offer is known as concluded when it has been 1) booked by another user, 2) terminated after the fixed time period, or 3) manually ended by the author. Concluded offers are no longer publicly visible using the search functions of EADA.

8. User's obligations concerning the contents of offers
The user pledges not to submit offers that violate laws or the rights of third parties - these being copyrights, trademark rights, rights to names, personal rights or others. The user asserts that all submitted data, especially contact data such as addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and the contents of offers are correct and truthful.

9. Restrictions
The submission of numerous identical, almost identical, or similar offers is not permitted and will by sanctioned by EADA. The same holds for exaggerated booking of numerous offers (denial of service). The renewal of concluded offers, however, is naturally permitted and even encouraged.

10. Sanctions
EADA explicitly reserves for itself the right to lock or delete user accounts and offers at any time and without prior notice, if a user violates laws, the rights of others, the terms of these Conditions, or if EADA suspects fraudulent or immoral activities.

11. Evaluations
After booking an offer both transaction partners may submit mutual evaluations. Every user may evaluate another user at most one time. An existing evaluation may be revised or corrected. Evaluation comments must be factual, anonymous, and may not contain hints concerning contact data. Advertisement in evaluation comments is not permitted. The user grants EADA unrestricted permission to use the evaluation data and comments for further purposes online and offline.

12. User cooperation in case of changes
Users are obligated to immediately report any change of name, postal address, or email to EADA.

13. User's right to cancellation
The user possesses the right to cancel all or individual business transactions with EADA at any time and without term of notice, unless other conditions are agreed on by contract or required by law.

14. EADA's right to cancellation
EADA possesses the tight to cancel all or individual business transactions with users at any time and with reasonable period of notice, unless other conditions are agreed on by contract or required by law. EADA will choose the period of notice to respect the user's legitimate interests.

15. Internet presence of EADA
EADA reserves the right to temporarily or permantly shut down its online presence at any time, either completely or partially.

16. Changes in the Conditions of Use
Changes in the Conditions of Use will be announced to users in written or electronic form. The user accepts the changes in the Conditions of Use unless he or she submits an objection. EADA will specifically announce any consequences arising from changes. The user must submit objections within a reasonable period of time. EADA will choose this period of time to respect the user's legitimate interests. In the case of objections EADA will have the right to cancel business transactions with the user within a reasonable period of time.

17. Decline of liability
For any damages other than injury of life, body, or health EADA will decline liability, if these damages are the consequence of negligent breach of duty on the part of EADA itself or any legal representative or assistant of EADA.

18. Applicability of German law
German law will be applicable for all business transactions between a user and EADA.
