+4. Partner Code System

+4.1 General Partner Code Provisions: With an active subscription, you will receive, in addition to your personal access, a transferable one-time use code (hereinafter "Partner Code"). This code entitles one additional person to time-limited use of the premium content and features.

+4.2 Functionality and Technical Requirements: A Partner Code will be provided to you for each active billing period of your subscription. The code may be redeemed by a third party who already maintains a valid user account and has agreed to our General Terms and Conditions. Code redemption occurs through the designated input interface within our app.

+4.3 Validity Period and Terms of Use: The validity period of the Partner Code corresponds to the remaining term of your current billing period, whereby the timing of code redemption by the recipient has no effect on the respective expiration date. Upon expiration of your subscription or upon cancellation, the issued Partner Code automatically loses its validity. There is no automatic renewal of code access. Upon renewal of your subscription, you will receive a new Partner Code.

+4.4 Transfer and Distribution: You are authorized to transfer the Partner Code provided to you on a one-time basis to a person of your choosing. The Partner Code is intended exclusively for single use and may only be redeemed by one person. Distribution of the code to multiple people or commercial use is prohibited. You are responsible for the proper transfer of the code and shall ensure that the code recipient maintains a valid user account.

+4.5 Rights and Obligations of Code Recipients: The code recipient obtains, through redemption of the Partner Code, temporary access to paid content and features to the same extent as subscribers. The same terms of use apply to the code recipient as to regular subscribers, particularly the provisions for proper use of our services. The code recipient is not authorized to transfer or share the obtained access to third parties.

+4.6 No Contractual Relationship Between Users: The use of the Partner Code creates no legal relationship between you as code provider and the code recipient. Both parties maintain contractual relationships exclusively with us.

+4.7 Exclusion of Claims: You have no right to replacement or refund if an issued Partner Code is not redeemed. We also assume no warranty for proper transmission of the code between you and the intended recipient. In case of abusive use of the Partner Code system, we are entitled to terminate your subscription for cause.

+4.8 Modifications and Termination of Partner Code System: We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Partner Code system at any time. In case of material changes, we will notify you in accordance with Section 1.5 of these General Terms and Conditions. Already issued and still valid Partner Codes retain their validity until their original expiration date, unless legal or technical reasons require immediate suspension.

+7.3 Data Retention for Documentation Purposes: When you request deletion of your user account, we will generally delete all of your personal data without undue delay. However, the following data shall be exempted from such deletion: Your user account with the email address provided during registration (including Apple Private Relay addresses);Documentation of your consent to our Terms of Service, including version number and date of consent; Confirmation that you have read the Terms of Service in their entirety ("scroll-to-end verification"); The date of your deletion request and Log of Partner Code issuance and redemption (without personal reference to the code recipient). The retention of such data is based on our legal obligations under applicable data protection laws (Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR) and our legitimate business interests (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest lies in maintaining documentation of proper contract formation and fulfilling our accountability requirements under applicable data protection regulations (Art. 5 (2) GDPR). The retention of Partner Code logs serves to document proper fulfillment of our service obligations under paid subscriptions. The aforementioned data shall be irrevocably deleted no later than three years after the end of the calendar year in which you submitted the deletion request. This retention period is aligned with the general statute of limitations applicable to contractual claims (§195 German Civil Code). During the three-year retention period, the stored data shall not be used for any other purposes and shall be subject to special access controls.

+Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, you as a subscriber to paid content are expressly authorized to transfer the Partner Codes provided to you to third parties. This authorization is limited exclusively to the intended use of the Partner Code system.
