Partners Terms and Conditions

of

LIBERO football finance AG
Taunusanlage 9-10
60329 Frankfurt
Germany 

(hereinafter referred to as „LIBERO football finance AG“)

1. General

    1. The LIBERO Exchange platform is an online platform provided by LIBERO football finance AG for the brokerage of financing products and marketing services. On or via the LIBERO Exchange platform, partners (hereinafter also referred to as „you“ or „partners“) offer their financing products and marketing services to interested professional or semi-professional soccer clubs or their sole proprietorships or corporations spun off for game operations (hereinafter also referred to as „customers“). 
    2. LIBERO football finance AG and the LIBERO Exchange platform act as intermediaries for corresponding contracts for your financing products and marketing services, which are concluded directly between the customers and you as a partner. Your own terms and conditions apply to this relationship between you and your customers. We receive the fees specified in the partner agreement for our intermediary services and other services. 
    3. These Partner Terms and Conditions (hereinafter also referred to as „Partner Terms and Conditions“) govern the fundamental legal relationships between the parties and apply when the parties conclude a „partner agreement“ within the framework of a separate agreement, for example, via the registration process completed by the partner or an offer accepted by the partner or via a contract negotiated between the parties. The partner agreement concluded on the basis of such an agreement therefore consists of the respective agreement and these Partner Terms and Conditions. All provisions made in the separate agreement take precedence over the provisions of these Partner Terms and Conditions.
    4. The partner agreement applies exclusively with regard to the services we provide to you. Any deviating terms and conditions of the partner do not apply to us and therefore do not form part of the contract. The validity of such terms and conditions is expressly rejected. The priority of individual agreements between the parties over the partner agreement remains unaffected.
    5. The LIBERO Exchange platform is available exclusively to partners who offer their services in the course of their business activities and thus as companies within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), as public-law corporations, or as special funds under public law. 

2. Performance obligations

  1. With its „LIBERO Exchange Platform,“ LIBERO football finance AG offers a brokerage platform (hereinafter also referred to as „Platform“) for your services as a partner. Your services in this context are, in particular, the offering of financing products such as loans, credit lines, factoring, pre-financing of media and sponsorship revenues, project financing, and working capital, or the offering of marketing services (hereinafter also collectively referred to as „Partner Services“). 
  2. We provide you with platform services (hereinafter also referred to as „Platform Services“), such as in particular: 
    a. the provision of our LIBERO Exchange platform as a technical environment for setting up and displaying your partner profile and your partner services, 
    b. the mediation of contracts for the use of your Partner Services by customers of the platform, and 
    c. the processing or support of negotiation, payment, administration, and any other communication processes between you and your customers.
  3. Upon the partner agreement taking effect, you will receive a right of use to utilize our Platform Services in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.
  4. In addition, we will undertake marketing measures for you in connection with the provision of our platform services, such as presenting you and your partner services at industry events or through targeted marketing measures in our network (hereinafter „marketing measures“).

  6. For our platform services, as well as for our marketing measures and the support measures we provide, you pay us a fee specified in more detail in Section 9. 
  7. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the contractual relationship regarding the use of your partner services arises directly between you and the customer. In this respect, the LIBERO Exchange platform basically functions as a technical environment for presenting your partner services and for handling contract negotiations and contract conclusion. However, we do not become a contractual partner in the contracts concluded directly between you and your customers. 
  8. The following applies to you as a partner:

    2. Subject to the provisions of the partner agreement, you are not subject to any instructions regarding the manner in which you perform your partner services;

    4. You are independently and solely responsible for the proper tax assessment and treatment of the partner services you offer via our platform and the contracts subsequently concluded between you and your customers;
    5. You are free to work for other clients. Our prior consent is not required for this.

Your partner services are displayed and suggested to potential customers based on their search and interest profile and on the financing, consulting, or service needs of the respective customer (hereinafter also referred to as „search profile“).

7. Subcontractors

If you have subcontractors perform all or part of the partner services to be provided by you, you must ensure that these subcontractors fulfill all obligations under the partner agreement.

    1. For each successful referral of your partner services via our LIBERO Exchange platform or through our referral services, we will receive a fee from you, which is calculated based on the following criteria. 
    2. Fee:
      1. Basic fee: PLEASE ENTER EXACT AGREEMENTS

    6. You are only entitled to offset if your counterclaims have been legally established, recognized by us, or are undisputed; this does not apply to the assertion of claims for defects. You are only authorized to exercise a right of retention if your counterclaim is based on this contract.

10. 's liability

    1. We are liable for damages that we cause you in connection with our rights and obligations under the partner agreement, subject to the following provisions, in accordance with the law.
    2. In the event of simple negligence, we shall only be liable if it involves a breach of a material contractual obligation. A material contractual obligation is an obligation whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of a contract and on whose compliance the other party may regularly rely. In the event of simple negligence, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Liability for compensation for indirect property damage and financial loss, in particular loss of profit, is completely excluded in cases of simple negligence. In cases of force majeure and free use, our liability for simple negligence is excluded altogether.
    3. We shall be liable without limitation for injury to life, limb, or health, as well as for intentional or fraudulent acts. The same applies to the written assumption of a guarantee for the quality or durability of services to be provided by the parties. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
    4. You are responsible for the fault of your subcontractors as if it were your own fault.
    5. If you breach your obligations under this contract, in particular the obligations set out in clause 3, you shall indemnify us against any resulting liability and claims by third parties upon first request and reimburse us for any costs of legal action. 
    6. You are solely responsible for the contractual relationship between you and your customers. If we receive a claim from one of your customers or a third party due to an action or omission on your part that is in breach of your obligations, without us being responsible for this, you must indemnify us against any resulting liability and claims upon first request and reimburse us for the reasonable costs of legal action.

11. Rights of use & indemnification

    1. You grant us all (copyright) rights of use and industrial property rights to your partner services, company names, brand names, and any content provided, etc., that are necessary for the provision of our platform services, online and offline marketing, in particular via the social media channels Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn, as well as distribution and, if applicable, support measures. 
    2. You guarantee that your partner services are free from conflicting third-party rights. Please inform us immediately in writing if you become aware of any third-party rights to your partner services.
    3. You shall indemnify us fully and upon first request against any claims, in particular claims for payment and damages due to the infringement of third-party rights by your partner services or your content. At your request, we will grant you the right to defend yourself against claims asserted by third parties and provide you with all necessary information, issue statements, and grant powers of attorney.

12. Data protection

    1. We collect, process, and use personal data in connection with the provision of our platform services. All information on how we handle personal data within the framework of the partner agreement can be found in our privacy policy, which is available at any time at LINK.
    2. With regard to the personal data processed by you on our platform, we are a processor within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR if we have been commissioned by you to process personal data in accordance with your instructions and for a specific purpose. In this case, we will conclude a corresponding data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR at your separate request.
    3. If, under the partner agreement, you have the opportunity to access personal data from us or our customers, you guarantee that you will only process this data in a legitimate manner, for a purpose in accordance with the agreement, and in compliance with legal requirements. 

13. Confidentiality

    1. In the course of their cooperation, the parties will become aware of business secrets of the other party or third parties, in particular customers. A trade secret is information that is not generally known or readily accessible to persons in the circles that normally deal with this type of information, either in its entirety or in the precise arrangement and composition of its components, and is therefore of economic value and subject to reasonable confidentiality measures and where there is a legitimate interest in confidentiality (cf. Section 2 GeschGehG). A trade secret is also information that is marked as a trade secret, that is protected by industrial property rights or copyright, that is subject to banking secrecy or data protection, and where there is a legitimate interest in confidentiality. Information that is known to the other party prior to disclosure, that has become known to the public after disclosure without the involvement of the disclosing party, that the disclosing party has learned from a legitimate third party, and that the disclosing party has developed itself is not considered a trade secret.
    2. The disclosing party, as well as all those who come into contact with trade secrets in accordance with their intended purpose, are obliged to treat the trade secrets as strictly confidential and to use them or disclose them to third parties and employees only if this is necessary in connection with the business purpose. Furthermore, the disclosing party shall protect the trade secrets from becoming known to third parties.
    3. Objects, files, or other intangible items containing trade secrets shall be deleted immediately upon request by the disclosing party or, at the latest, upon termination of the contractual relationship, or returned to the disclosing party.

14. Reference

    1. Both parties are entitled to mention the other party, including its logo and a brief description of the respective company, in their external communications. The information required for this, such as the logo, descriptive texts, version status, contact and support channels, must be provided in advance.
    2. Both parties are entitled at any time to revoke their consent to the use of references in accordance with paragraph 1 for the future in writing (an email to info@libero-football-finance.com is sufficient).

15. Community guidelines

    1.

    7. In the event of reasonable suspicion that access data has become known to unauthorized third parties, we are entitled, for security reasons, to change the access data ourselves without prior notice or to block your partner profile. We will inform you of this immediately and provide you with the new access data within a reasonable period of time. You have no right to have the original access data restored.
    8. You must inform us immediately as soon as you become aware that unauthorized third parties have access to your partner profile or that unauthorized third parties are using your device. We would like to point out that access data should be changed regularly for security reasons.

      3. You are not authorized to exhibit, publicly reproduce, in particular make publicly available, edit, redesign, translate, decompile, or otherwise redesign our platform and our platform services. Your rights under Sections 69d (3), 69e UrhG remain unaffected.

We have established the following rules because we are obliged to do so under the Digital Services Act, the EU Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 on a Single Market for Digital Services in the European Union. 

The Digital Services Act aims to establish rules that create a safe, predictable, and trustworthy environment for people who use platforms and websites such as ours.

    4. If our decision only concerns „allegedly“ illegal content, a reference to the legal basis and explanations as to why the information is considered illegal content on this basis; 
    5. If our decision is based on the alleged incompatibility of the information with our partner agreement, a reference to the relevant contractual provision and an explanation of why the information is considered incompatible with it;
    6. Information on whether the data subject has any legal remedies available against the measure, in particular—depending on the circumstances—internal complaint management procedures, out-of-court dispute resolution, and judicial remedies.

b. Reporting and remedy procedures

  1. We will review illegal content as soon as we become aware of a suspicion that such illegal content has been published. We become aware of such content either through our own review or through a report of the relevant content to our central contact point (see c) below).
  2. Illegal content can be reported directly online. Reports must be sent exclusively to our central contact point (see c) below) and must contain at least the following information:
    1. A sufficiently reasoned explanation of why the reporting person or organization considers the information in question to be illegal content;

    4. A statement that the reporting person or institution is convinced in good faith that the information and statements contained in the report are accurate and complete.
  1. We will immediately send the reporting person/institution an electronic confirmation of receipt of the report to the contact details provided.

If the reported content is illegal, we will immediately delete, block, or restrict it and, if necessary, take further measures as specified in lit. a para. 3.

c. Central contact point for communication

We have set up a central contact point for communication. This contact point is responsible for receiving electronic reports of suspected illegal content from reporting persons and for inquiries from authorities or third parties relating to the handling of illegal content. Please note the requirements in lit. b regarding the content of reports.

All persons, authorities, or other bodies (press, affected parties, etc.) can report illegal content directly online using our procedure at:

You can transfer all data stored in your partner profile to your own systems after termination of the agreement. It will be irrevocably deleted 4 weeks after termination of the partner agreement. 

19. Transfer to third parties

    1. Both parties are entitled to transfer the partner agreement to an affiliated company, a legal successor, or a German company that takes over the respective services. They shall inform each other of this in writing before the planned transfer.
    2. Any transfer of the partner agreement to a foreign third party requires the prior consent of the other party. In the event of your objection, this agreement shall continue unchanged. The objection shall be deemed good cause for extraordinary termination of the agreement.

20. Availability

    1. For technical reasons, we cannot guarantee the permanent and complete availability of the servers on which our platform services are operated. The availability of our platform or individual services may therefore be limited at times, in particular due to the necessary performance of maintenance or repair work. 
    2. We would like to point out that there may be restrictions or impairments in the use of the platform that are beyond our control. These include, in particular, actions by third parties who are not acting on our behalf, technical failures beyond our control, and force majeure.
    3. We reserve the right to restrict access to the platform in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently, due to maintenance work, capacity issues, and other events beyond our control.
    4. In the event of force majeure, we are entitled to postpone our platform services for the duration of the hindrance plus a reasonable start-up period, provided that we are actually unable to provide the services. Force majeure includes events for which we or a subcontractor are not responsible and which were not foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded, such as operational disruptions, strikes, lockouts, staff shortages, pandemics and epidemics, official orders, and similar circumstances. The right of each party to terminate the partner agreement with you for good cause in the event of prolonged force majeure remains unaffected.

21. Final provisions

    1. The entire contractual relationship between the parties shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and conflict of laws provisions.
    2. If you are acting as an entrepreneur, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is the competent court at our registered office. This agreement on the place of jurisdiction does not apply if an exclusive place of jurisdiction is established for the dispute in accordance with the statutory provisions. If you are acting as a consumer, the place of jurisdiction is determined in accordance with the statutory provisions.
    3. Amendments and additions to the General Terms and Conditions and to the entire contract between us must be made in writing to be effective, unless the following explanations prescribe special form or procedural requirements. 
      1. Changes and additions that we (must) make due to changed legal or technical requirements for our service provision and that have no negative impact on the services to which you are entitled shall take effect if you do not object to a change in writing within one (1) month of receiving written notification of the change and we have informed you in advance of your right to object. If you object to the change, the contract shall continue to apply unchanged and we shall be entitled to terminate the contract extraordinarily with one (1) month’s notice to the end of the next calendar month. 
      2. Changes and additions to the contract that we wish to make due to changed service, remuneration, or other commercial or operational requirements and which have a negative impact on our contractual relationship with you shall only take effect if you expressly agree to them. This consent can be given by clicking a consent button in the change notification (email or pop-up when using our services) or by any other simple and transparent means provided by us. In the absence of consent, the contract shall continue to apply unchanged and we shall be entitled to terminate the contract within the contractually agreed notice periods.
      3. The text form also applies to any amendment to this form clause. The priority of individual subsidiary agreements remains unaffected. 
      4. The aforementioned periods shall not apply and there shall only be a right to information about changes to the contract if the changes are necessary to avert an unforeseen and imminent danger in order to protect you from fraud, malware, spam, data protection violations, or other cybersecurity risks.
    4. Should any provision of the Partner Agreement be or become invalid, or should the Partner Agreement contain a loophole that needs to be regulated, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining or incomplete provisions. In this case, the parties undertake to replace or complete the invalid or incomplete provisions with provisions that come closest to the invalid or incomplete provisions in economic terms.
