Note: Individual offers, service descriptions and data processing agreements take precedence over these general terms in the event of conflict.
1. Provider and scope
These terms apply to the use of the PrivacyAds platform by businesses and organisations ("customers"). The provider is Ausbildungszentrum für Selbstverteidigung und Kampfkunst SportUnion, ZVR 1561748312, Erikaweg 4, 9241 Wernberg, Austria.
2. Scope of services
Depending on the scope booked, PrivacyAds supports in particular the measurement of page views and enquiries on the customer's websites, forms, the evaluation of advertising cost and search data, proposals for changes to content with approval and history, and AI-assisted evaluations. Individual features come from third-party providers or require an account with them and acceptance of their terms. A specific economic result that has not been expressly agreed is not owed, nor is a particular ranking in search engines or in the answers of AI assistants.
3. Account and permissions
Customers must provide correct details, protect access, grant permissions on a need-to-have basis and report suspicious use without delay. Actions of authorised users are attributed to the customer unless the provider is responsible for them.
4. Customer data and lawfulness
The customer retains its rights to customer data and grants PrivacyAds the processing rights required to perform the contract. The customer warrants that data, forms, consents, advertising and measurement activities are lawful and that data subjects are informed correctly. The Data Processing Addendum additionally applies to data of visitors to its websites.
5. Integrations
Optional integrations with websites, advertising accounts, search engine tools, payment, email and AI services are only used once set up. The customer is responsible for third-party access, data released, permitted purposes and compliance with the respective provider terms. Permissions should be limited to what is necessary and connections that are no longer needed should be removed.
6. Changes to websites and automatic mode
PrivacyAds publishes changes to the customer's website only after approval by a person of the customer authorised to do so. If the customer switches on automatic mode for a type of change, PrivacyAds publishes such changes without individual approval; the customer can switch automatic mode off at any time and revert published changes. The customer remains responsible for the content of its website and reviews proposals, including those from AI features, before approving them.
7. Acceptable use
Not permitted are in particular infringements of the law, unsolicited communication without the required legal basis, circumvention of security measures, malware, excessive load, abusive automation and the processing of impermissible or evidently unlawfully collected data. Details are set out in the Acceptable Use Policy.
8. Availability, maintenance and support
PrivacyAds is operated with reasonable professional care. Maintenance, security updates, external disruptions or force majeure may limit availability. Binding service levels exist only where they have been expressly agreed in writing. Support information is available under Support.
9. Fees and payment
Fees, billing period, taxes and notice periods follow from the respective offer or order process. AI features consume AI credits as shown in the account. Third-party fees, such as for advertising with the networks, may be charged separately and are not part of the fees for PrivacyAds.
10. Term, suspension and termination
Term and ordinary termination follow the agreement. In the event of a material breach of contract, security risk, default in payment or legal obligation, the features concerned may be restricted proportionately. After the end of the contract, customer data is returned or deleted as agreed, unless a retention duty prevents this.
11. Warranty and liability
The statutory provisions apply. In the case of slight negligence, liability is limited – to the extent permitted by law – to typical, foreseeable damage arising from the breach of essential contractual duties. This does not affect in particular liability for intent, gross negligence, personal injury and mandatory statutory claims. For independently operated third-party providers, PrivacyAds is not liable for outages beyond its control.
12. Changes
Necessary changes for security, legal or product reasons are communicated with reasonable advance notice where they materially affect the customer. Changes required by law or purely beneficial changes may take effect earlier.
13. Law and jurisdiction
Austrian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For businesses, the court with subject-matter jurisdiction at the provider's registered seat is agreed, to the extent permitted.
