OUR T&Cs

General terms and conditions preamble

5KEYS – a project by Andy Uliczka

The online portal 5KEYS has the function of a marketplace and the task of bringing customer and producer or service together. The primary mediation medium is sales, here called network partners.

Customers have a direct contact person and consultant for the products and services in the 5KEYS network in the network partner. 5KEYS acts here as an intermediary, the contractual relationship arises directly between the customer and the product partner/supplier. Andy Uliczka searches the market for special products for the network’s customers and provides the added value of consulting services through his network partners.

Network partners are familiar with the 5KEYS portfolio and provide their personal customers with the products for which there is a need. The network partner can access all 5KEYS products and services or specialize in one brand or industry. Due to the diversity of the product portfolio with a simultaneous specialized presentation, this business model is extremely suitable as a second income in home business.

All products in the portfolio are assigned to different brands or subject areas. Thus, the customer does not find all products in one shop, but in different shops, which all run on one system in the background. The focus remains on the topic that interests the customer. Brand providers are responsible for a subject area, the shop maintenance and the support of the network partners and product providers of this brand. He takes care of information and training material for all products in his brand. And looks after the product providers of his brand, if he is not the brand provider and product provider in one person. A particular advantage for brand owners is that they receive an independent MLM system without having to set it up from scratch and at the same time have access to an existing sales organization. In relation to an independent sales structure, he only invests a tiny fraction in his project.

The product provider / supplier can be a manufacturer or service provider who would like to seize the opportunity to have their products or services sold through a distributor. The product provider is listed in the respective brand and can have all of their products entered there. In addition to the one-off listing fee for the product provider and its products and an annual membership, the product provider only pays a jointly negotiated success fee to the network in the event of success, i.e. if its products have been brokered. He also benefits from the entire network and receives optimal support for the marketing of his products. Product providers and brand providers receive special discounts on the production of digital products, advertising films and training films. The product provider is the direct contact person for the mediated customer. The contractual relationship is established directly between the product provider and the customer.

  • 25 Warranty Media Production

If the client is a merchant, he must inspect the work and services delivered by Andy Uliczka immediately upon receipt, but in any case within 14 days before further processing, and report any defects immediately upon discovery.

Andy Uliczka’s warranty obligation is limited to the rectification of a defect within a reasonable period of time. The customer expressly reserves the right to demand a reduction in payment or cancellation of the contract if the repair fails. Failure in the aforementioned sense shall be deemed to exist in particular if rectification is impossible, if it is seriously and definitively refused by Andy Uliczka, if it is unreasonably delayed, if it has been attempted in vain or if it is unreasonable for the client due to the accumulation of defects.

The warranty period begins with the (partial) acceptance, in other cases as regulated by law. The warranty period is three years from the transfer of risk, without prejudice to the statutory commercial obligation to give notice of defects, unless another written agreement has been made.

Claims for damages by the client expire after one year, notwithstanding the provision of § 202 BGB. This does not apply if Andy Uliczka has acted with malice, gross negligence or intent.

Andy Uliczka is not liable for the information transmitted via its services, and in particular not for its completeness, accuracy or timeliness, nor that it is free of third-party rights, or that the sender is acting unlawfully by transmitting the information.

If a loss-causing event has occurred via the transmission channels of a third-party carrier, Andy Uliczka shall assign all resulting claims to the customer, free and clear.

Andy Uliczka shall not be liable for defects attributable to errors etc. on the part of publishers, broadcasters and other advertising media facilities. Therefore, the customer has no right to deduct or withhold his performance for these reasons.

Andy Uliczka is not responsible for delays in service provision and performance due to force majeure and due to events that make performance significantly more difficult or impossible for Andy Uliczka – this includes in particular strikes, lockouts, official orders, the failure of communication networks and gateways of other operators, disruptions in the services of third-party carriers, even if they occur at suppliers or subcontractors of Andy Uliczka or their sub-suppliers, subcontractors or at operators of sub-node computers authorized by Andy Uliczka – even in the case of bindingly agreed deadlines and dates. Andy Uliczka is not responsible for disruptions in the services of third party carriers, even if they occur at suppliers or subcontractors of Andy Uliczka or their sub-suppliers, subcontractors or at the operators of sub-node computers authorized by Andy Uliczka – even in the case of bindingly agreed deadlines and dates. These entitle Andy Uliczka to postpone the service for the duration of the delay plus a reasonable start-up time. Otherwise there is a case of impossibility.

Unless other provisions in these terms and conditions exclude liability, liability is limited to EUR 2,500 in the event of damage caused by the use of Andy Uliczka’s services through the transmission and storage of data and in the event of damage caused because the required storage or transmission of data by Andy Uliczka was not carried out, unless there is intent or gross negligence.

Andy Uliczka hereby draws the customer’s attention to the fact that restrictions or impairments to the services provided by Andy Uliczka may arise which are beyond Andy Uliczka’s control. This includes, in particular, actions by third parties who are not acting on behalf of Andy Uliczka, technical conditions of the Internet that cannot be influenced by Andy Uliczka and force majeure. Similarly, the hardware and software or technical infrastructure used by the client (e.g. DSL connection from another provider) may also have an influence on the services provided by Andy Uliczka. Insofar as such circumstances have an influence on the availability or functionality of the service provided by Andy Uliczka, this has no effect on the contractual conformity of the service provided by Andy Uliczka.

Andy Uliczka carries out regular maintenance work on its systems to ensure the security of network operations, to maintain network integrity, the interoperability of services and data protection. For this purpose, it can temporarily stop or restrict its services, taking into account the interests of the client, insofar as objective reasons justify this. Andy Uliczka will carry out the maintenance work during periods of low usage where possible. If longer temporary service suspensions or restrictions are necessary, Andy Uliczka shall inform the customer in advance of the type, extent and duration of the impairment, insofar as this is objectively possible under the circumstances and the information would not delay the elimination of interruptions that have already occurred.
Andy Uliczka may change its services insofar as this is reasonable for the client, taking into account the client’s interests.

Andy Uliczka has a right of retention to all data, templates, manuscripts, materials and other items already provided by the client until all due claims arising from the business relationship have been met in full.

If a significant hindrance lasts longer than two weeks, the client is entitled to reduce the monthly fees accordingly from the time the hindrance occurs until the next termination date. A significant disability exists if

  1. a) the client can no longer access Andy Uliczka’s infrastructure and can therefore no longer use the services listed in the order confirmation,
  2. b) the use of these services as a whole is made significantly more difficult or the use of individual services listed in the order confirmation becomes impossible,

or

  1. c) there are comparable restrictions.

In the event of service failures due to a fault outside Andy Uliczka’s area of responsibility, no reimbursement of fees will be made. Otherwise, downtimes shall only be reimbursed if Andy Uliczka or one of its vicarious agents or assistants has caused the error at least through negligence and the downtime extends over more than one working day. Andy Uliczka shall inform the customer immediately of the non-availability of the service and shall reimburse the relevant consideration without delay.

If the client claims that the services charged to him were not caused by him or third parties for whom he is responsible, he must prove this.

With the collection and storage, the client declares his consent.
