Terms of Service

Last updated: 24.09.2026 · Version: 1.2

This is a translation for convenience. The German version (AGB) is binding.

§ 1 Provider and scope

(1) The service willyoubuyit is provided by

Mennen Online, Inh. Hendrik Mennen Gografenweg 12 26131 Oldenburg Deutschland Represented by: Hendrik Mennen E-mail: hmennen90@gmail.com · Phone: +49 151 74240073 VAT identification number: DE302418737

(the "Provider").

(2) These terms apply to the use of the service through willyoubuyit.de, account.willyoubuyit.de and the instances provided to the customer.

(3) The service is aimed at developers of computer games. It is not closed to consumers; §§ 11 and 12 then apply in addition.

(4) Conflicting terms of the customer do not become part of the contract, even if they are not expressly rejected.

§ 2 What the service is

(1) The Provider gives the customer a ready-to-use instance with which the customer can publish a page about a game, collect newsletter sign-ups using double opt-in, and send to the recipients gained that way.

(2) The service is provided as a hosted service only. The software is not handed over for self-installation. The customer acquires no rights in the software beyond using it as intended under this contract.

(3) The Provider owes the provision of the service, not a result. In particular, the Provider does not owe that people sign up for the customer's game or that any particular number is reached.

(4) Newsletters are sent through the customer's own account with a mail provider of their choice. The Provider supplies the connection; the customer is responsible for deliverability, sender reputation and the terms of that mail provider.

(5) The public pages of the instance carry the note "Powered by willyoubuyit.de" in their footer, linking to the Provider's website. The note is part of the service and cannot be switched off. The link passes no data about visitors to the Provider unless they follow it.

§ 3 Conclusion of the contract, demo

(1) The customer registers at account.willyoubuyit.de. Registering does not yet create a paid contract.

(2) The demo instance can only be reached by its signed-in owner. It answers every other request with "not found". It sends no messages to the outside and accepts no real sign-ups; any addresses entered are sample data.

(3) The demo is approved manually. There is no entitlement to approval.

(4) A demo instance that nobody signs in to for 30 days is deleted. The customer is notified beforehand.

(5) The paid contract is concluded with the first payment. From then on the instance is publicly reachable, accepts real sign-ups and sends for real. From the same moment, the data processing agreement in Annex 1 applies.

§ 4 Customer obligations, prohibited uses

(1) The customer is responsible for the content of their instance. The Provider does not review content in advance (§ 7).

(2) The customer warrants that the instance is not used for:

  1. Content under § 4 of the German Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors (JMStV) — pornography and the other content listed there as absolutely prohibited. For such content the law requires a closed user group with identity verification; the Provider does not offer such a system, and neither the age label nor the notice before the content replaces it.
  2. Other unlawful content, in particular content that incites hatred, glorifies violence, supports terrorism or violates human dignity, and depictions of child sexual abuse.
  3. Infringing the rights of others — trademarks, copyrights, personality rights of third parties. This includes using other games' titles, logos or images without permission.
  4. Sending to recipients without consent, in particular to bought, rented or otherwise acquired address lists. Only addresses confirmed through the instance's own double opt-in process are permitted.
  5. Deceiving recipients about the sender, phishing, malware, and running the instance as a redirect or cover page for third parties.
  6. Offerings unrelated to a game — in particular using it as a general newsletter service, shop or link collection.
  7. Automated mass creation of accounts or instances, and circumventing the limits in § 6.

(3) The customer indemnifies the Provider against third-party claims based on a breach of paragraph 2, including reasonable costs of legal defence. This does not apply where the customer is not responsible for the breach.

(4) The customer keeps the credentials for their account secret. The Provider offers a second factor; using it is recommended.

§ 5 Protection of minors

(1) The customer rates their instance themselves. The available ratings are 0, 12, 16 and 18.

(2) The Provider neither assigns nor checks the rating. It is an assessment of content with legal effect, for which the customer is responsible.

(3) Once a rating is set, every public page of the instance carries a machine-readable age label within the meaning of § 5(3) no. 1 JMStV. From rating 18, a notice is additionally shown before the content.

(4) The notice under paragraph 3 is not an age verification, and the age label only takes effect on devices with a youth protection program. Neither is sufficient for content under § 4 JMStV; such content is prohibited under § 4(2) no. 1.

§ 6 Prices, limits

(1) The base price is €12 a year per instance.

(2) The following can be booked in addition:

Service Price
Custom domain €36 / year per instance
Subscribers above 1,000 €24 / year per started 5,000
Bug tracking €24 / year per instance

(3) Confirmed subscribers are counted, daily. Unconfirmed sign-ups do not count; they are deleted after 14 days.

(4) When a limit is exceeded, sending stops, sign-ups do not. New sign-ups continue to be accepted and confirmed.

(5) The Provider does not delete the customer's subscribers — not when a limit is exceeded, not on a downgrade and not on non-payment. In these cases only sending is blocked. Deletion after the contract ends is governed by § 8.

(6) Data export is available on every plan and is never blocked. The same applies to double opt-in, proof of consent, data subject rights, encryption and the unsubscribe path.

§ 7 No content review, reporting, suspension

(1) The Provider does not review content in advance. There is no admission process, no approval and no quality threshold.

(2) Breaches of § 4 can be reported to abuse@willyoubuyit.de. The report should name the affected address and the content concerned.

(3) The Provider may suspend an instance without prior notice if there is a breach of § 4(2), or if concrete indications give reason to fear one, and immediate suspension is necessary to prevent harm. The customer is informed without delay.

(4) In all other cases, the customer is asked to remedy the breach within a reasonable period before any suspension.

(5) A suspension deletes no data. Access to the export remains; § 8 applies.

§ 8 Term, cancellation, end of contract

(1) The contract has a minimum term of one year.

(2) If it is not cancelled with effect from the end of the minimum term, it continues for an indefinite period and can be cancelled by either party with one month's notice.

(3) Billing is yearly in advance (§ 10). If the contract ends during a period already paid for, the fee for the unused full months is refunded pro rata. The same applies to a booked add-on under § 6(2) that the customer cancels while the rest of the contract continues. The refund is made without a separate request no later than 14 days after the end of the contract or the add-on. This does not apply if the Provider terminates the contract for good cause because the customer breached § 4(2). Details are in the Refund Policy.

(4) Cancellation requires no reason. A "Cancel contracts here" button is available on every page of the service, without signing in. Receipt of the cancellation is confirmed in text form without delay, stating its content and the date and time of receipt.

(5) In addition, a signed-in customer can cancel the contract per instance in their account. This option exists alongside the button in paragraph 4 and does not replace it. If the customer cancels the subscription through the seller's order management under § 10(2) (link.com), this likewise counts as cancellation of this contract; paragraphs 2 and 3 govern the end of the contract and the refund.

(6) The right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected.

(7) After the contract ends, the instance's data remains available for 30 days. During this time the customer can export it. After that, the instance and its database are deleted. This corresponds to the obligation under Art. 28(3)(g) GDPR; details are set out in Annex 1.

(8) The customer is reminded before this period expires.

(9) Cancellation deletes no subscribers. Sending ends, the data does not; § 6(5) applies until the period in paragraph 7 expires.

§ 9 Availability, liability

(1) The Provider strives for high availability. No particular availability is guaranteed. Maintenance is announced where possible.

(2) The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body and health, and under the German Product Liability Act.

(3) For simple negligence, the Provider is liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation, and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this kind of contract at the time it was concluded.

(4) The Provider keeps encrypted backups. The customer should additionally export their data themselves; the export function is available for this at any time.

§ 10 Payment and billing

(1) The Provider alone is the contracting party for the service (§ 1). The Provider owes the service, is the contact for cancellation, withdrawal and data protection, and the data processing agreement in Annex 1 is concluded with the Provider.

(2) The purchase is processed by Stripe. The seller to the customer is Link, LLC, 354 Oyster Point Boulevard, South San Francisco, California 94080, USA, named "Link" at checkout and on invoices ("Sold through Link"). The seller issues the invoice, owes the sales tax or VAT, and handles payment, chargebacks and fraud prevention. On the bank or card statement the payment appears as "LINK.COM*" with a suffix. To that extent, the seller's terms, shown to the customer during checkout, apply in addition.

(3) Where the two conflict, this contract governs the service. The seller's terms govern the purchase and payment, not the service.

(4) Billing is yearly in advance. Prices are gross prices including the applicable VAT. An add-on under § 6(2) booked during a paid period is charged at once, pro rata until the end of that period. Refunds on early termination and for cancelled add-ons are governed by § 8(3).

(5) If a payment is not made, sending is blocked. § 6(5) applies: no subscribers are deleted.

§ 11 Right of withdrawal

(1) If the customer is a consumer, they have a right of withdrawal.

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us

Mennen Online, Inh. Hendrik Mennen Gografenweg 12 26131 Oldenburg Deutschland Phone: +49 151 74240073 E-mail: hmennen90@gmail.com

of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

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. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

If you requested to begin the performance of services during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been provided until you have communicated us your withdrawal from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

Expiry of the right of withdrawal

In a contract for the provision of services, your right of withdrawal expires once we have fully performed the service, if we began performance only after you gave your express consent and at the same time acknowledged that you will lose your right of withdrawal once we have fully performed the contract. We obtain both statements separately before checkout (paragraph 2).

Model withdrawal form

(Complete and return this form only if you wish to withdraw from the contract.)

To Mennen Online, Inh. Hendrik Mennen, Gografenweg 12 26131 Oldenburg Deutschland, e-mail: hmennen90@gmail.com:

I/We () hereby give notice that I/We () withdraw from my/our () contract of sale of the following goods ()/for the provision of the following service (*),

— Ordered on ()/received on () — Name of consumer(s) — Address of consumer(s) — Signature of consumer(s) (only if this form is notified on paper) — Date

(*) Delete as appropriate.

(2) The service starts immediately. On booking, the instance becomes publicly reachable, accepts real sign-ups and sends for real (§ 3(5)). Before checkout the customer therefore confirms two statements expressly and separately:

  1. that they request the immediate start of the service before the withdrawal period ends, and
  2. that they acknowledge losing their right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed.

Both are recorded verbatim, together with the time, IP address and browser identifier. Without both statements, no checkout takes place.

(3) The right of withdrawal expires under the conditions of § 356(5) of the German Civil Code (BGB).

§ 12 Showcase

(1) willyoubuyit.de has an overview page listing customers' entries.

(2) An instance is only included at the customer's express request. Without consent, no instance appears there.

(3) An entry consists of a title, one sentence, an image and the address of the instance. It is entered separately and not taken from the customer's page.

(4) Entries are reviewed before publication. An entry is declined if it breaches § 4(2), is rated 18, or clearly does not describe a game. There is no assessment of quality or taste. There is no entitlement to inclusion.

(5) The customer can withdraw the entry at any time.

§ 13 No legal advice

The Provider gives no legal advice on the customer's obligations. The templates in the documentation are working aids and do not replace professional review. The customer remains the controller under data protection law for their instance.

§ 14 Changes to these terms

(1) The Provider may publish a new version of these terms where this is necessary to adapt to changes in law, case law or technical circumstances and the customer is not unreasonably disadvantaged.

(2) A new version applies to a customer only once they have agreed to it. Agreement is given expressly in their account area and is recorded with time and wording. Silence is not agreement.

(3) The customer is informed by e-mail to the account address six weeks before the intended effective date.

(4) If the customer does not agree, the version they accepted continues to apply to them. The service continues unchanged; the instance remains reachable and sending is not blocked. In this case the Provider may cancel the contract under § 8(2).

§ 15 Final provisions

(1) German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, mandatory provisions of the law of their country of residence remain unaffected.

(2) The Provider is neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36(1) no. 1 VSBG).

(3) Should any provision be invalid, the rest of the contract remains valid.
