13.1. General information
13.1.1. influence.vision provides users with an “agency” platform at https://www.influencevision.com/. This platform makes it possible for brands/agencies on the one hand and influencers on the other to get in contact with each other and to agree on collaborations or advertising campaigns.
13.1.2. For the purpose of procurement, influence.vision presents the brands/agencies as well as the influencers and their User Content on the platform and offers them a communication channel as well as a tool for negotiating contracts including the associated conditions and a conflict management tool.
13.1.3. influence.vision acts as a mediator for the users and concludes an agency contract with the brands/agencies as well as with the influencers. The conclusion of the contract for the respective campaign then takes place directly between the respective brand/agency and the influencer, whereby the conditions are negotiated and agreed directly between these parties. influence.vision therefore accepts no liability for contracts concluded between the users, even if the respective contact has been established by influence.vision, as influence.vision is not a party of these contracts.
13.1.4. influence.vision therefore does not act as an agency itself and does not interfere with the contract negotiations and the content of the contract between influencers and brands/agencies. Rather, influence.vision merely promotes and enables the conclusion of contracts between brands/agencies and influencers.
13.1.5. influence.vision therefore acts as an agent both in the name and for the account of the influencers and in the name and for the account of the brands/agencies. influence.vision is therefore a commercial agent. The duration of the commercial agent’s activity is linked to the existence of the contract of use and ends automatically with this.
13.1.6. influence.vision is a commercial agent for several influencers or brands/agencies and also concludes contracts for competing services for others during an ongoing business relationship. influence.vision continuously strives to mediate campaigns by presenting the influencers and brands/agencies on the platform. influence.vision does not owe further effort or even success. influence.vision does not owe further effort or even success.
13.2. influence.vision’s activities as commercial agency and conclusion of contracts
13.2.1. influence.vision offers both influencers and brands/agencies the opportunity to present themselves on the platform and invite the other side to submit an offer to conclude a cooperation, subsequently negotiate the terms and conclude the contract via the platform.
13.2.2. To this end, brands/agencies first write the basics for the planned cooperation in a concrete “briefing” or invite influencers to make an offer for potential cooperation. The briefing must contain at least the following minimum content so that Influencer can subsequently make a binding creative offer:
13.2.3. Influencers then have the opportunity to make a concrete and binding offer including financial conditions (“creative offer“). influence.vision transmits these creative offers supplemented by further information on the specific influencer and his activities to the brands/agencies and, in addition to the fee offered by the respective influencer, indicates the commission of influence.vision. The brands/agencies can then accept the creative offers of the influencers directly via the platform, reject them or negotiate the conditions with the influencer.
13.2.4. All information, documents, notices, information and data, in particular business or trade secrets, exchanged between the Parties shall be mutually treated as strictly confidential and kept secret. Confidential information shall also include all analysis, data, studies and results as well as all documents, contracts and other information which are disclosed or otherwise become known between the Parties. In the event that Influencers violate this confidentiality obligation, they are obligated to pay a strict contractual penalty of EUR 20,000 to the Brands/Agencies. The brands/agencies reserve the right to claim damages in excess thereof.
13.2.5. With the acceptance of a creative offer by the brand/agency, the corresponding contract for the provision of services by the influencer is concluded directly between the influencer and the respective brand/agency. This entitles influence.vision to the commission agreed upon. If users try to circumvent the commission obligation, e.g. by moving the further coordination outside the platform, and if influence.vision was meritorious for the procurement, the consequences according to clause 5.5. shall apply
13.2.6. Both the influencer and the brand/agency are fully responsible for the selection of an appropriate counterparty. influence.vision has no influence whatsoever on the choice of either party and gives no assurance whatsoever as to the suitability of the chosen contractual partner.

13.3. Content of the contract, obligations and rights of the brands/agencies
13.3.1. influence.vision only acts as an intermediary and does not become a party to the contract between the brand/agency and the influencer. The specific content of the agreement between the brand/agency and the influencer is therefore determined and agreed exclusively by them. Any problems in the relationship between the brand/agency and the influencer have no effect on the commission claim of influence.vision and do not justify any other claims against influence.vision.
13.3.2. This also applies to the use of any content created by the influencer on behalf of the Brand/Agency (e.g. pictures or videos) and the intellectual property rights thereto. These contents may therefore only be reproduced, distributed, processed, made available or otherwise used by the brand/agency in accordance with the rights granted by the influencer.
13.3.3. The influencer or brand/agency in question is responsible for ensuring that the content created or published by the influencer complies with the applicable legal provisions. influence.vision has no influence on the details of the agreement between the influencer and the brand/agency and therefore cannot check the legal conformity of the content and is not responsible for it. influence.vision therefore assumes no liability for the content created and advertised by users, in particular not for compliance with any legal labeling obligations under the Media Act, the Unfair Competition Act, E-Commerce Act, Audiovisual Media Services Act and similar disclosure or advertising provisions. The user who also publishes the content is primarily responsible for this. Accordingly, the Influencer is obligated to correctly label his content as advertising.
13.3.4. influence.vision has no influence on the fulfilment of the contract between the brand/agency and the influencer. The commission claims of influence.vision therefore also exist in the event of disputes regarding the provision of services and in the event of any defective fulfilment of the contract, since influence.vision has completed its own services with the successful mediation of the contract.
13.3.5. The respective Influencer is also obligated to handle the cooperation professionally and to be on schedule. This includes, for example, careful handling of borrowed test goods, coordination with the brand/agency with regard to any drafts, content and reports, etc.
13.3.6. If the Influencer breaches the obligation under Clause 13.3.5, the Influencer shall be directly liable to the Brand/Agency for the damage incurred. In the event of a delay in performance by the Influencer, the Brands/Agencies shall also be entitled to reduce the agreed remuneration by 5% for each day commenced after the delay in performance. In addition, the Influencer shall indemnify and hold influence.vision harmless in the event that claims are asserted against the brands/agencies for this reason. influence.vision further reserves the right to block or delete the account of careless Influencers who violate this provision at its own discretion in accordance with item 6.

The basis for calculating the commission to be paid by the respective brand/agency to influence.vision is the remuneration agreed between the brand/agency and the influencer for the mediated activity. The assessment basis therefore also includes any additional services agreed between the brand/agency and the influencer, regardless of how these are agreed (e.g. via the text field or the chat within the platform; other communication channels, e.g. via the Internet). These services are therefore also subject to the agreed commission. If no fee in euros is agreed between the Influencer and the brand/agency, but the effort is compensated by the gift of a test product, influence.vision shall be entitled to charge the brand/agency a flat fee for the procurement services.
13.4.3. The provision of services to the influencers is free of charge – until revoked.

It shall be clarified that influence.vision can only make the payment to the influencer when the corresponding amount has been received by influence.vision from the brand/agency.
13.4.6. In the event of any dispute between the brand/agency and the influencer about the proper provision of services, influence.vision may act as a conflict mediator at its own discretion. In this case influence.vision is entitled to withhold a reasonable amount from the payment to be made to the influencer in case additional expenses incur for influence.vision due to culpable conduct on the part of the influencer.
