Terms and Conditions

Preamble — Structure and Reading Guide

These Terms apply to both user groups in a single, unified text; which provision applies to which group is expressly indicated in each case ([All], [Students], [Companies]). This is permissible (§ 305(2) BGB does not preclude it) but requires the clear labelling that this draft applies throughout (role check under § 310(1) vs. (3) BGB). The paid part (Part C — Special Conditions for Companies, §§ 16–21) reflects the subscription business that has been operated live since 5 July 2026; it is the core of this revision.

• Part A — General Part (§§ 1–15): applies to all users.
• Part C — Special Conditions for Companies (§§ 16–21a): subscriptions, payment, AI Act deployer obligations.
• Part B — Special Conditions for Students (Consumers) (§§ 22–24): withdrawal, consumer specifics.
• Part D — Final Provisions (§§ 25–27): dispute resolution, choice of law/jurisdiction, language version.

Part A — General Part

§ 1 Provider, Scope, Subject Matter [All]

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern the use of the “Internities” platform (the website internities.com and the product app app.internities.com, together the “Platform”) for the placement and matching of internships between students and companies.

1.2 The provider and contracting party of the users is Internities UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Hansastraße 42, 20144 Hamburg, registered in the commercial register of the Amtsgericht Hamburg under HRB 189434, represented by Gwendolin Lüders, Alexander Krink and Boris Albert, e-mail: hello@internities.de (“Internities”).

1.3 These Terms are directed both at consumers (§ 13 BGB) — in particular students — and at traders (§ 14 BGB) — in particular companies. For students, Part B applies in addition; for companies, Part C applies in addition. In the event of a conflict between the General Part and a Special Part, the Special Part prevails.

1.4 Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of a user shall become part of the contract only if and to the extent that Internities has expressly consented to their applicability in text form. This consent requirement also applies where Internities renders performance without reservation while aware of deviating terms.

1.5 The Ambassador Program (customer-refers-customer) is not the subject of these Terms. Participation is governed exclusively by the separate participation terms for the Internities Ambassador Program approved by the mandated law firm, in the version accepted in each case (currently v1.0, effective from 1 July 2026). These Terms govern only the general usage relationship; in relation to the Ambassador Program, its participation terms prevail for the matters governed there.

§ 2 Incorporation, Conclusion of Contract, Text Form [All]

2.1 These Terms are made available to the user in a reasonable manner before the user contract is concluded; taking note of them is possible and storing them in a reproducible form is permissible (§ 305(2) BGB). The user contract is concluded when the user accepts the Terms and the Privacy Policy during the registration process by actively ticking the mandatory checkboxes provided for this purpose (which are not pre-selected) and completes the registration.

2.2 Internities stores the version accepted in each case in versioned form for evidentiary purposes (§ 5(2); Art. 7(1) GDPR applied by analogy to contractual acceptances). The user may request a copy of the version accepted by them at any time at hello@internities.de.

2.3 “Text form” within the meaning of these Terms is the text form under § 126b BGB; an e-mail to or from hello@internities.de satisfies it.

2.4 In the case of a contract concluded electronically for a paid contract (Part C), Internities fulfils the obligations of § 312i(1) BGB in conjunction with Art. 246c EGBGB, in particular the immediate electronic confirmation of receipt of the order and the possibility to retrieve and reproduce the contractual provisions at the time the contract is concluded.

§ 3 New Incorporation vis-à-vis Existing Customers [All]

3.1 This version supersedes the previous version “28 March 2025”. It becomes effective vis-à-vis existing users only if the user actively accepts it anew (an unpre-selected checkbox as with the initial acceptance, § 2.1). Silence or mere continued use does not constitute consent; there is no deemed-consent fiction.

3.2 If an existing customer does not accept the new version, the version last accepted by them continues to apply until it is effectively terminated or amended; for paid existing contracts (Part C), § 21 (Amendment of these Terms) additionally applies.

§ 4 Registration, Account, Access Requirements [All]

4.1 Registration is required for certain functions. Registration is permitted only if the user (a) has reached the age of 18 or (b), in the case of company accounts, is legally entitled to act for the company. For participation in the Ambassador Program, the minimum age of 18 governed there applies separately.

4.2 The Platform is directed exclusively at persons of full legal age. By registering, the user represents that they have reached the age of 18; no offer is made to minors.

4.3 The user provides truthful and complete information upon registration and keeps it up to date. Access credentials must be kept confidential; the user is liable for activities via their account to the extent they are responsible for the use.

4.4 The blocking of accounts is governed exclusively by § 12 (Blocking, Removal, Procedure); extraordinary termination by § 15.

§ 5 Description of Services, Role of Internities [All]

5.1 Internities provides a digital platform on which (a) students can create profiles, find internships and apply, and (b) companies can advertise internships, define role requirements via structured questionnaires, and review and contact candidates. The specific scope of services and obligations for each module follows from § 6.

5.2 Internities is not an employer, not an employment agency in the sense of success-based personnel placement, and not a party to the internship agreement. Internship agreements are concluded exclusively between students and companies.

5.3 Internities does not owe any particular outcome (e.g. an invitation, conclusion of contract, offer, or a particular number of matches) and does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or suitability of matching results, recommendations or AI-generated outputs. This provision describes the substance of the performance owed and is, to that extent, not subject to review of content (§ 307(3) sentence 1 BGB); it does not restrict the user’s statutory rights.

§ 6 Modules, Usage Requirements and Obligations in Detail [All]

6.1 Profile and Documents [Students]. Students can upload profile data and documents (in particular CV, references, certificates, transcripts, cover letters; PDF/JPEG/PNG, up to 10 MB). To submit an application, a completed Internitest as well as a CV and a transcript are mandatory (the “Application Requirements”); if one of these requirements is missing, the application is technically not possible. For the Application Requirement, either a university or a school transcript suffices as a transcript; a school certificate alone fulfils the requirement but is flagged separately to the company (note “no university transcript”) so that it can take this into account in its selection.

6.2 Internitest [Students]. The Internitest is a psychometric test whose result is calculated deterministically and serves as a basis for matching as well as an Application Requirement (§ 6.1). Taking the test is voluntary; however, without a completed Internitest no application is possible.

6.3 Connections and Contact Release [All]. A direct communication channel (chat) is opened only after a mutually confirmed contact release (“Connection”). The contact release is based on the student’s express, granular consent; with it, the student’s account e-mail is disclosed to the members of the requesting company. The student may withdraw a granted consent at any time with effect for the future; Internities provides a means to do so that is as easy as the means for granting it (Art. 7(3) sentences 1 and 4 GDPR).

6.4 Secure Chat [All]. Within an existing Connection, messages and file attachments can be exchanged. Attachments are scanned for malware before delivery. Users conduct themselves in the chat in a factual and law-abiding manner; § 8 (prohibited content) applies accordingly. After the final end of a Connection (rejection or withdrawal), the conversation and its attachments are deleted after 180 days; abuse reports may be retained longer for evidentiary purposes.

6.5 Interview Scheduling [All]. Companies and students can arrange interview appointments via the Platform. Any video-conference links are provided by the company; Internities does not operate its own video service and is not responsible for third-party links (§ 11.3).

6.6 Availability of the Modules. The modules may evolve; § 7 applies to their amendment and discontinuation.

§ 7 Amendment, Further Development and Discontinuation of Functions [All]

7.1 Internities is entitled to adapt, further develop or discontinue the contractually owed performance features and modules (§§ 5, 6) as well as the AI functions used and the service providers underlying them, to the extent that this is necessary on account of

• (a) a change in statutory or regulatory requirements,
• (b) mandatory requirements of IT or data security,
• (c) the further development or replacement of the underlying software or third-party services used, or
• (d) a change that is exclusively advantageous to the user or affects the user only insignificantly,

and to the extent that the change is reasonable for the user, taking Internities’ interests into account. The contractually typical core benefit of the Platform owed is preserved.

7.2 Internities informs the user of an amendment under § 7.1 that affects the contractually typical scope of services more than insignificantly at least six weeks before it takes effect, in text form.

7.3 If an amendment under § 7.1 significantly changes the contractually typical scope of services to the user’s detriment, the user may extraordinarily terminate the contract until the amendment takes effect. Internities draws attention to this right in the notice under § 7.2.

7.4 [Students] For the provision of digital products in exchange for the provision of personal data (§ 23), § 327r BGB applies: changes going beyond what is necessary to maintain conformity are permissible only where a valid reason exists, at no additional cost to the student and after prior information; the student’s rights under § 327r(3), (4) BGB (including termination of the contract in the event of a more than insignificant impairment) remain unaffected.

7.5 There is no tacit deemed-consent fiction for amendments (§ 308 No. 5 BGB). The amendment of these Terms themselves is governed by § 21.

§ 8 User Obligations, Prohibited Content and Use [All]

8.1 Users may use the Platform only within the framework of statutory provisions and these Terms. The following are prohibited in particular:

• (a) unlawful, insulting, discriminatory, pornographic or otherwise impermissible content;
• (b) content that infringes the rights of third parties (copyright, trademark, personality rights);
• (c) the creation of accounts under a false identity or the pretence of identity, authorisation, qualification or institutional affiliation;
• (d) the submission of false, misleading, manipulated or forged documents, in particular forged enrollment certificates, references or other qualification records;
• (e) automated scraping, penetration testing without prior written consent, or the circumvention of security or access-control mechanisms;
• (f) any attempt to manipulate, disrupt or reverse-engineer the matching, verification or recommendation systems;
• (g) spam, unrelated mass requests, or any use that impairs the integrity, availability or security of the Platform.

8.2 The legal consequences of a breach are governed by § 12 (Blocking/Removal with procedure) and § 15 (extraordinary termination).

§ 9 User Content, Grant of Rights [All]

9.1 Users may post content (e.g. profile texts, skills, documents, links, internship listings). They alone are responsible for ensuring that they are entitled to do so and that their information is correct.

9.2 The user grants Internities, for the duration of the contract, a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right — transferable to companies affiliated with Internities (§§ 15 et seq. AktG) as well as to legal successors — to store, reproduce, process and display the content to the extent that this is necessary for providing the Platform, the matching, security and moderation, and the presentation to other users. The grant of rights is bound to its purpose and term; no transfer or sublicensing to other third parties beyond this takes place.

9.3 Internities is entitled to review, moderate, block or remove content to the extent necessary; the procedure is governed by § 12 and § 13.

§ 10 AI-Assisted Functions; Automated Decisions [All]

10.1 Internities uses algorithmic and AI-assisted functions, in particular: (a) AI-assisted creation and updating of competency radars from company questionnaire responses; (b) AI-assisted role overviews; (c) AI-assisted classification and extraction of structured data from uploaded user documents; (d) AI-assisted evaluation of candidate profiles against role requirements as a contribution to matching. These functions are assistive and indicative; they do not constitute binding assessments or guarantees.

10.2 The third-party AI services used are currently Anthropic (text analysis and generation) and Google Cloud Document AI (optical character recognition). Internities does not make user content available to the third-party AI providers for the purpose of training their AI models. Details of the data processing, the recipients and the third-country transfers are governed by the Privacy Policy.

10.3 Automated Individual Decision — Enrollment Verification [Students]. The check as to whether a user is an enrolled student is carried out fully automatically: an AI model evaluates the uploaded proof of enrollment and assigns a confidence value; if this reaches a defined threshold (default value 70), Platform access is granted automatically, otherwise it is denied automatically. This is an automated individual decision within the meaning of Art. 22(1) GDPR that significantly affects the student; Internities bases it on Art. 22(2)(a) GDPR (necessity for entering into the user contract).

10.4 Under Art. 22(3) GDPR, the student has the right to (a) obtain human intervention (contact: hello@internities.de; a team member reviews the case manually), (b) express their own point of view and (c) contest the decision. Internities endeavours to answer such requests within five working days. These rights are not restricted by these Terms.

10.5 The matching and the recommendations otherwise are not carried out as a solely automated decision with legal effect; the selection decision in the application process is always taken by the company.

§ 11 Availability; Liability [All]

11.1 Internities endeavours to ensure a high availability of the Platform but does not owe uninterrupted use. Maintenance windows, security updates and disruptions (including at third-party providers) may lead to outages. For paid services, § 19 additionally applies.

11.2 Internities is liable without limitation (a) for intent and gross negligence and (b) for damage arising from injury to life, body or health. In the case of ordinary negligence, Internities is liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation and limited in amount to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract at the time of its conclusion. Material contractual obligations (cardinal duties) are those obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the contracting party may regularly rely.

11.3 Notwithstanding sub-clauses 11.1 and 11.2, Internities is not liable for the content or conduct of users, for internship offers, contract negotiations, rejections, acceptances, remuneration or legal violations by companies or students. This exemption does not cover Internities’ own fault in selection or in the system; the liability cascade under sub-clause 11.2 applies to such fault.

11.4 Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

§ 12 Blocking, Removal of Content, Procedure [All]

12.1 Internities may block an account or remove content where sufficient grounds exist, in particular in the case of a justified suspicion of a serious breach of § 8, in the case of legal violations, or upon a justified report under § 13.

12.2 Before a blocking or removal, Internities informs the affected user of the intended measure and its essential grounds and gives them the opportunity to comment (counter-representation). In cases where prior information would frustrate the purpose of the measure or where there is a significant danger to the Platform, other users or third parties (urgent case), Internities may first order the measure provisionally and provide the information with reasons without undue delay thereafter.

12.3 Internities notifies the affected user of the decision and its reasons (statement of reasons within the meaning of Art. 17 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 — DSA, where applicable) and draws attention to the possibility of having the decision reviewed by way of counter-representation. If a measure proves to be unjustified, Internities lifts it and restores access to or the content, to the extent possible.

12.4 The interests of the affected user (in particular the loss of applications and contacts) are to be given appropriate consideration in every measure; the measure must be proportionate.

12.5 The right to extraordinary termination for good cause (§ 15) remains unaffected.

§ 13 Reporting of Illegal Content, Moderation (Notice & Action), Points of Contact [All]

13.1 Internities provides a procedure for reporting allegedly illegal content (Art. 16 DSA). Reports may be directed to hello@internities.de and should contain: (a) a sufficiently precise indication of the content (URL, screenshot or specific description), (b) a statement of why the content is alleged to be illegal, and (c), if desired, the contact details of the reporting person.

13.2 Internities reviews reports received and decides at its dutiful discretion (blocking, removal or no measure). If Internities takes a measure against a piece of content or an account, § 12.2 to 12.4 applies to the statement of reasons and the review procedure (Art. 17 DSA).

13.3 Central Point of Contact (Art. 11, 12 DSA). The central point of contact for authorities and for users is hello@internities.de; communication may take place in German or English.

13.4 Note on the Size Exemption. Internities currently meets the conditions of the exemption for micro and small enterprises under Art. 19(1) DSA (in conjunction with the thresholds of Recommendation 2003/361/EC: fewer than 50 employees and no more than EUR 10 million annual turnover/balance-sheet total); the additional obligations for online platforms under Art. 20–28 DSA therefore do not currently apply. Internities reviews the status on an ongoing basis; if the condition ceases to apply, Art. 20–28 DSA apply in accordance with Art. 19(2) DSA. The obligations under Art. 11, 12, 16 and 17 DSA are fulfilled regardless.

§ 14 Contract Term and Termination of the Free Contract [All]

14.1 The free user contract runs for an indefinite period and may be ended by either party at any time without observing a notice period, by deleting the account or by termination in text form.

14.2 The termination of a paid contract (Part C) is governed exclusively by §§ 18 and 20.

14.3 Upon termination of the contract, the user’s right to access and use the Platform ends. The timing and scope of the deletion of the account and content are governed by the Privacy Policy and the applicable statutory retention obligations.

14.4 [Companies] Self-Service Termination. Internities provides companies with a simple, electronic self-service means in the account for the ordinary termination of paid contracts (§ 18).

14.5 [Students] Termination Button. As soon as paid consumer contracts in the form of continuing obligations can be concluded via the Platform, Internities provides the termination button and confirmation page prescribed by § 312k(2) BGB.

§ 15 Extraordinary Termination for Good Cause [All]

15.1 The right of both parties to extraordinary termination for good cause (§ 314 BGB) remains unaffected. Good cause for Internities exists in particular in the case of serious or repeated breaches of these Terms, fraud, the submission of forged documents, the pretence of identity, or other conduct that makes continuation of the contractual relationship unreasonable for Internities.

15.2 In less serious cases, Internities will as a rule issue a warning before an extraordinary termination and set a reasonable period for remedy, unless the severity of the breach makes this unreasonable (§ 314(2) BGB). The blocking and hearing procedure under § 12 remains unaffected.

Part C — Special Conditions for Companies (Subscriptions)

§ 16 Scope, Plans, Slot Logic [Companies]

16.1 This Part C applies to the paid use of the Platform by companies (traders, § 14 BGB). It supplements Part A; in the event of a conflict, Part C prevails.

16.2 Internities offers twelve self-service subscription plans. The plan is determined by the number of simultaneously active role slots (1 to 12): the company chooses how many roles it wishes to keep active at the same time; the Platform assigns this number to exactly one plan. Closing, archiving or deleting a role releases its slot again. A need for more than twelve simultaneously active slots is an individual offer outside the self-service plans.

16.3 The plans and prices applicable at the time the contract is concluded are displayed transparently to the company at checkout and in the offer. The current plan structure ranges from EUR 119 (one slot) to EUR 999 (twelve slots) net per month.

§ 17 Prices, VAT, Payment, Payment Service Provider [Companies]

17.1 Net Prices. All plan prices are net prices in euros per month and are exclusive of the applicable statutory VAT (“plus VAT”). VAT (currently 19% in Germany) is shown separately and added at checkout.

17.2 Due Date and Billing. The fee is due monthly in advance for the respective billing period and is collected via the payment service provider under § 17.4. Invoices are provided electronically.

17.3 Default in Payment. If the company falls into default with a payment that is due, the statutory rules on default (§§ 286, 288 BGB) apply. In the case of significant default in payment, Internities may temporarily restrict access to the paid functions after prior notice and a reasonable grace period; the right to extraordinary termination (§ 15) remains unaffected.

17.4 Payment Service Provider and Invoicing. The payment service provider is the Stripe group of companies. Checkout, VAT determination and billing are handled via Stripe; payment and billing data (including billing address, VAT ID, means of payment) are collected directly by Stripe. The specific Stripe contracting entity, the issuer of the invoice and the information on the third-country transfer follow from the Privacy Policy.

§ 18 Term, Renewal, Ordinary Termination [Companies]

18.1 The subscription contract has a minimum term of one month and renews, unless terminated in due time, by a further month in each case.

18.2 The contract may be terminated by either party by ordinary termination with a notice period of 14 days to the end of the respective billing month.

18.3 Termination by the company is effected via the self-service means under § 14.4 or in text form to hello@internities.de.

18.4 Until the self-service means (§ 14.4) is provided, termination in text form to hello@internities.de suffices; Internities confirms its receipt without undue delay in text form.

§ 19 Upgrade, Downgrade, Slot Changes [Companies]

19.1 The company may upgrade its plan to a higher plan at any time in the account (upgrade); the price difference is calculated on a pro-rata basis (proration).

19.2 A downgrade of the plan as well as other contractual changes are currently not possible via self-service and are made on request (contact via the account or hello@internities.de). A downgrade also results from ordinary termination followed by a new conclusion of a lower plan.

§ 20 Price Adjustment [Companies]

20.1 Internities is entitled to adjust the fees for ongoing subscriptions in line with the development of the consumer price index for Germany published by the Federal Statistical Office. If the index falls, Internities is obliged to reduce the fee accordingly (symmetry requirement).

20.2 Internities notifies the company of adjustments at least six weeks before they take effect, in text form; the notice explains the calculation.

20.3 If an increase exceeds 5% of the previous fee, the company may extraordinarily terminate the contract as of the time the adjustment takes effect, within four weeks of receipt of the notice but at the latest until the adjustment takes effect. Internities draws attention to this right in the notice.

§ 21 Amendment of These Terms [Companies; for students see § 3]

21.1 For the amendment of these Terms vis-à-vis companies with an ongoing subscription, the following applies: Internities may amend the Terms with effect for the future if there is an objective reason within the meaning of § 7.1 and the amendment does not shift the balance of performance and consideration to the company’s detriment. Internities informs of the amendment at least six weeks before it takes effect, in text form.

21.2 If the company does not object to the amendment within six weeks of receipt of the notice in text form (§ 21.1), the amendment is deemed to have been accepted; Internities draws separate attention to this and to the significance of silence in the notice. The six-week objection period runs concurrently with the six-week advance-information period under § 21.1 (a single period from receipt of the same notice), so that objection remains possible until the amendment takes effect. If the company objects, either party may terminate the contract by ordinary termination as of the time the amendment takes effect; until then, the previous version continues to apply.

21.3 Amendments affecting the core of the primary performance obligation (the performance owed and the price) are not made by way of § 21 but only by active consent under § 3 (or by § 20 for the price adjustment).

§ 21a AI Act Deployer Obligations of Companies [Companies]

21a.1 The matching system of Internities is to be classified as a high-risk AI system within the meaning of Annex III No. 4(a) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act) (selection of natural persons in the employment context; internships as access to employment). Internities is the provider in this respect, and the using company is the deployer within the meaning of Art. 3(4) AI Act.

21a.2 The company undertakes, as deployer, to use the AI-assisted matching exclusively in accordance with the instructions for use provided by Internities (Art. 26(1) AI Act), to ensure effective human oversight by competent, trained personnel qualified for this purpose (Art. 26(2) AI Act) and not to base the selection decision solely on the AI-assisted assessment.

21a.3 To the extent that the company must inform affected applicants about the use of the high-risk AI system (Art. 26(7) AI Act by analogy to the employee context), Internities provides the information necessary for this; on the product side, Internities labels AI interactions and AI outputs in accordance with Art. 50 AI Act.

21a.4 The obligations of this § 21a apply to the extent and as soon as the high-risk obligations of the AI Act are applicable (Annex III obligations from 2 August 2026, Art. 113 AI Act).

Part B — Special Conditions for Students (Consumers)

§ 22 Consumer Status, Data Protection [Students]

22.1 Students use the Platform as consumers (§ 13 BGB). The mandatory consumer-protection provisions apply to them; the prohibitions of clauses under §§ 308, 309 BGB and the consumer specifics of § 310(3) BGB must be observed.

22.2 Internities’ Privacy Policy in its version current in each case on the website applies. It is a component of the usage notices but not a contractual component in the narrower sense.

§ 23 Data-Financed Contract; Application of §§ 312 et seq. BGB [Students]

23.1 The basic use of the Platform is free of charge for students in the sense of a monetary payment. However, the student provides Internities with personal data (in particular profile, test and document data) that may go beyond what is necessary for the performance of the contract and for the fulfilment of legal obligations.

23.2 To the extent that such a data-financed contract for digital products exists, the provisions of §§ 312 et seq. BGB and §§ 327 et seq. BGB apply (§ 312(1a) sentence 1 BGB); the student has a right of withdrawal in accordance with § 24.

§ 24 Withdrawal Instruction [Students]

24.0 Applicable Version of the Withdrawal Consequences. Withdrawal has different consequences depending on the type of contract. Decisive is:

• [Data-Financed Student Contract] — for the basic use currently offered, which is free of charge in the sense of a monetary payment (§ 23.1), the instruction “Consequences of Withdrawal — Data-Financed Contract” (§ 24 Letter A) applies. There is no obligation to refund, as no monetary payment has been made; the consequences concern the cessation of the further use of data.
• [Future Paid B2C Products] — as soon as Internities provides students with paid (offered against monetary payment) digital products, the instruction “Consequences of Withdrawal — Paid Contract” (§ 24 Letter B) applies to these. Until the introduction of such a product, this version is marked with the same implementation reservation as § 14.5 and is effectively incorporated vis-à-vis students only upon its go-live.

Which of the two versions applies to the specific contract concluded is clearly indicated to the student in the respective conclusion process (§ 307(1) sentence 2 BGB).

Right of Withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us

Internities UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Hansastraße 42, 20144 Hamburg, Germany, e-mail: hello@internities.de

of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an e-mail). You may use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, although 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.

Consequences of Withdrawal — Letter A: Data-Financed Contract [Students, currently applicable]

Since you do not pay a monetary fee for the basic use (§ 23.1) but instead provide personal data, you will not receive any monetary refund in the event of withdrawal; no such payment has arisen.

If you withdraw from this contract, we will cease the further use of the personal data you provided in the course of the performance of the contract, unless its use continues to be permitted to us on another legal basis (§ 327q BGB; Art. 6, Art. 17 GDPR). Content other than personal data that you created or provided while using the service may not be used by us after withdrawal, except in the cases provided for by law; at your request, we will make this content available to you free of charge in a commonly used, machine-readable format (§ 327p(2), (3) BGB accordingly). Your rights as a data subject under the General Data Protection Regulation, in particular to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), remain unaffected and are not restricted by this instruction.

Consequences of Withdrawal — Letter B: Paid Contract [Students, future paid B2C products; implementation reservation § 14.5]

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the day on which we receive notification of your withdrawal from this contract. For this reimbursement, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no event will you be charged any fees on account of this reimbursement.

If you requested that the service should begin during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided up to the point in time at which you notify us of the exercise of the right of withdrawal, compared with the full scope of the services provided for in the contract.

Early Expiry of the Right of Withdrawal

In the case of a contract for the provision of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, or for the provision of digital services, your right of withdrawal expires if we have begun performance of the contract after you have (1) expressly consented to our beginning performance before the expiry of the withdrawal period and (2) confirmed your acknowledgement that, by giving your consent, you lose your right of withdrawal upon the commencement of performance (§ 356(5) BGB).

Model Withdrawal Form

• (If you wish to withdraw from the contract, please complete this form and return it.)
• To: Internities UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Hansastraße 42, 20144 Hamburg, Germany, e-mail: hello@internities.de
• I/we (*) hereby withdraw from the contract concluded by me/us (*) for the provision of the following service (*):
• — Ordered on (*)/received on (*): …

• — Signature of the consumer(s) (only for notification on paper): …
• (*) Delete as appropriate.

Part D — Final Provisions

§ 25 Consumer Dispute Resolution [All]

Notice pursuant to § 36(1) VSBG: Internities is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

§ 26 Choice of Law, Place of Jurisdiction, Severability Clause [All]

26.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that it does not deprive them of mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the state of their habitual residence (Art. 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 — Rome I).

26.2 If the user is a merchant, a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the contractual relationship is Hamburg.

26.3 Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become wholly or partly invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected; the statutory provision takes the place of the invalid provision.

26.4 Staggered Entry into Force (Implementation Reservation). Individual clauses of these Terms presuppose the provision of a technical function and are subject to an implementation reservation (§ 6.3 sentence 3 — withdrawal of accepted Connections; § 14.4 — self-service termination for companies; § 14.5 and § 24 Letter B — termination button and paid withdrawal consequence for consumers). These clauses enter into force upon the provision, announced in the user account, of the respective function; the time of provision is thereby determinable for the user. Until provision, the transitional route named in the respective clause applies (in particular termination or withdrawal in text form to hello@internities.de). Attention is drawn to the respective transitional route in the account.
