Referral programme

Conditions of the olumax referral programme

Five keywords successfully booked on your referral, and one keyword free in the following contract year.

1. Organiser and contact

The referral programme is run by olumax, Proprietor or company: Olumax, Email: contact@olumax.com.

These conditions will be reviewed legally before publication and completed at the marked places.

2. Who may take part

Entrepreneurs within the meaning of section 14 BGB, legal persons under public law and special funds under public law may take part. Participation by consumers is not provided for.

Whether and to what extent former customers may take part is settled separately: [insert rule].

3. Referral code

On request, participants receive a unique personal referral code that cannot be guessed, together with a matching referral link.

The code is sent once the email address given has been confirmed. Sending the code is a service email, not a newsletter sign up.

A referral code is valid for: [insert rule].

The code belongs to one person and is tied to a confirmed email address and a customer account. It contains neither names nor email addresses in plain text and is generated at random.

The new customer must give the referral code during the reservation request. Assigning it afterwards is possible only through olumax, with a documented reason.

Using your own referral code, or referring a business that is economically identical to your own, is excluded. Self referrals, repeated sign ups by the same business and invented businesses do not count as a successful referral.

4. What makes a referral successful

A referral counts as successful only when:

  • the personal referral code was given correctly with the enquiry or booking
  • the referred business is a new olumax customer
  • an order confirmation exists for that keyword
  • the agreed price has been paid in full
  • the booking has not been cancelled, revoked or reversed

A reservation request alone does not yet count as a successful booking. Entering a code does not yet create a claim to the reward. It is credited only after the order is confirmed and the keyword booking it belongs to has been paid in full.

If a referred new customer books several keywords, each confirmed and fully paid keyword can be credited separately.

Every successful keyword counts, whether the referred businesses book one keyword or several. A city and keyword combination that is already taken or reserved cannot be credited as a referral again.

5. The reward

For five keywords successfully booked on your referral you receive one keyword free for a year in the following contract year. This can be repeated as often as you like: every five qualifying keyword bookings create a new claim.

The reward covers only the regular yearly price of one eligible keyword including the Basic website that belongs to it. Additional services, bespoke work and other paid extensions are not included unless expressly promised.

How the reward is treated for tax depends on the participant's own circumstances. olumax makes no assessment of this and gives no assurances.

6. Redeeming it the following year

The reward is credited in the following contract year. These points are settled separately and are not promised until then: [whether only one reward per customer per year is possible], [whether a further five bookings create another reward], [which keyword is renewed free], [what happens when the customer holds several keywords], [whether the reward is transferable], [when the offer period starts and ends].

7. Cancellations and missed payments

Bookings that are cancelled, unpaid or reversed do not count as a successful referral and are deducted again from progress already recorded.

A reward already granted can be adjusted if a booking it rests on later falls away.

8. Excluding misuse

The following in particular do not count as a referral:

  • self referrals
  • repeated sign ups by the same business
  • businesses that are artificial or invented
  • bookings that were cancelled or not paid
  • contracts that were reversed
  • codes used improperly
  • bookings already assigned to another referral code

Using your own referral code, or referring a business economically identical to your own, is excluded. What decides this is above all an identical email address, customer account, business, business domain, invoicing details or VAT identification number. A matching name alone does not lead to refusal.

Where an assignment is contradictory or improper, olumax may review it by hand. Until that review is finished the assignment carries the status "Manual review required"; the reservation request continues independently of it. A refusal is documented and is never made without a reason that can be followed.

9. How long the programme runs, and ending it

olumax may change or end the referral programme with reasonable notice.

Claims to a reward already properly earned are unaffected if the programme ends.

10. Data protection

Personal data is processed in accordance with the published privacy notice.

Referrers see only anonymous figures on their progress. Personal data of the referred businesses is not shown.

11. Liability

The liability provisions of the olumax terms apply accordingly.

12. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

Should individual provisions be or become ineffective, the remaining provisions are unaffected.

The general terms and conditions of olumax apply in addition.
