3. Account Registration

3.1 Certain features of the Platform require you to create an account. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information up to date.

3.2 You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at hello@agentbuilderacademy.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

3.3 We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or remain inactive for an extended period.

3.4 One person may hold only one account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or access multiple free tiers is prohibited.

4. Conclusion of Contract

4.1 The presentation of products and services on our Platform does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to order (invitatio ad offerendum).

4.2 A binding contract is formed when you click a button labelled "Buy Now", "Order with obligation to pay", or equivalent, and we send you an order confirmation by email or grant immediate access to the purchased content.

4.3 For free services, the contract is formed upon successful submission of the relevant form and our provision of the requested content or service.

4.4 We are entitled to decline orders without giving a reason, in which case any payment already received will be refunded in full.

5. Prices, Payment, and Invoicing

5.1 All prices displayed on the Platform are in Euro (EUR) and include applicable German VAT (Umsatzsteuer) unless otherwise stated. Prices applicable at the time of your order apply.

5.2 Payment is processed exclusively via Stripe. By purchasing a product or service, you authorise Stripe to charge your payment method. We do not store your payment card details.

5.3 For subscription-based services (e.g. monthly sponsor advertising), payment is charged at the beginning of each billing period. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the next renewal date.

5.4 You agree to receive invoices in electronic form by email. Invoices are issued pursuant to German statutory requirements.

5.5 In the event of failed payment, we reserve the right to suspend access to paid services until payment is successfully completed.

6. Right of Withdrawal (Consumers)

6.1 If you are a consumer, you generally have the right to withdraw from a contract within 14 days without giving any reason. Please refer to our Right of Withdrawal page for the full withdrawal notice and instructions.

6.2 Important exception for digital content: The right of withdrawal expires prematurely for digital content (downloads, courses, access to digital materials) once you have expressly consented to us beginning performance before the withdrawal period has expired and acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. Such consent is requested during checkout.

6.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

• Advertising services where the agreed campaign period has begun
• Customised or personalised digital content
• Services fully performed before the withdrawal period ends, with your prior consent

7. Sponsor Advertising Terms

7.1 Advertisers may book display advertising slots on the Platform subject to availability and approval. We reserve the right to accept, reject, or remove any advertisement at our sole discretion, without liability.

7.2 Advertisers must ensure their advertising content is accurate, lawful, and not misleading. Advertisements must not promote services or products that are illegal, harmful, or inconsistent with the values of Agent Builder Academy.

7.3 The advertiser warrants that they hold all necessary rights to the content submitted, including logos, images, and copy. We accept no liability for intellectual property infringement arising from advertiser-submitted content.

7.4 Advertising placement is sold on a monthly subscription basis. Cancellations must be made before the next billing cycle; no partial refunds are issued for the current period once an advertisement is live.

7.5 We do not guarantee specific click-through rates, impressions, or business results from advertising.

8.3 We accept no liability for the conduct of advertisers or candidates arising from connections made through our jobs board.

8.4 Job listings are published for a defined period as specified at the time of purchase. We will make reasonable efforts to remove expired listings promptly but do not guarantee real-time removal.

12. Disclaimer — No Guarantee of Results

12.1 The Platform provides educational content, diagnostic tools, and informational resources. All content is provided for general educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute professional advice (legal, financial, technical, or otherwise).

12.2 We make no guarantee of specific outcomes. Results from using our frameworks, tools, guides, or courses will vary depending on individual circumstances, technical skill, resources, and effort. We expressly disclaim any representation that use of our services will result in specific business, financial, or technical outcomes.

12.3 The AI Setup Snapshot and related diagnostic tools provide assessments based on the information you provide. These assessments are indicative only and should not be the sole basis for business or technical decisions.

12.4 The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or resources. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party sites.

13. Limitation of Liability

13.1 We are liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, as well as for damages caused by wilful misconduct or gross negligence on our part, and for liability under the German Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG).

13.2 For slight negligence, we are only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations — those whose fulfilment is necessary for proper performance of the contract and on which you may regularly rely). In such cases, liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage at the time of contract conclusion.

13.3 We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — including loss of profit, loss of data, or loss of business opportunity — to the extent permitted by applicable law.

13.4 Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from your use of the Platform shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees paid by you to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) €100 — except where liability cannot be limited by law.

15.4 For consumer disputes, the applicable court is determined by applicable EU and German procedural law.

16. Miscellaneous
