Terms and Conditions

The contract language is German. This translation is provided for information only (German version).

1. Scope

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts for digital products that you conclude with MindOnDigital – via mindondigital.de or via one of my other publishing websites – in particular guides with a Premium Bundle (PDF and EPUB), e-books and collector's editions from my publishing programme (PDF, EPUB and extras), Excel templates and, once offered, content and subscriptions of the MindOnDigital Academy (app.mindondigital.de). Deviating terms only apply if I expressly agree to them.

A consumer within the meaning of these terms is any natural person who concludes a contract predominantly for private purposes (Sec. 13 German Civil Code, BGB). Rules that only apply to consumers are marked as such.

2. Contracting party

Your contracting party is MindOnDigital, owner Dieter Strak, Strandbadstr. 18a, 88090 Immenstaad am Bodensee, Germany, email: info@mindondigital.de (see Legal Notice).

3. Conclusion of contract

The presentation of products on the website does not constitute a binding offer. Clicking the buy button takes you to a payment page of our payment service provider Stripe. There you see the product, price and payment method once more, can check and correct your entries or cancel the process. By clicking the button “Zahlen” or “Bezahlen” (Pay) – for the monthly subscription “Zahlungspflichtig abonnieren” (Subscribe with obligation to pay) –, or its equivalent in the language of the payment page, you make a binding offer to purchase. The contract is concluded when the payment has been successfully authorised and the download is made available to you.

The contract language is German. Translations are provided for information only.

I do not store the contract text for you to retrieve. After your purchase you receive a confirmation by email with the contract details, these terms and the withdrawal policy; please keep it.

4. Prices and payment

The prices in euros shown on the payment page at the time of the order apply. Prices are final prices. As a small business under Sec. 19 German VAT Act (UStG), I do not charge VAT and therefore do not show it. There are no shipping costs.

Payment is made via Stripe using the payment methods offered there (e.g. credit or debit card, PayPal). The amount is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract.

5. Delivery

Digital products are provided exclusively as downloads. Immediately after successful payment you are redirected to your personal download page; you also receive the link by email. Please save the files to your device promptly.

You need standard software: a PDF reader, an e-book app for EPUB, and for Excel templates Microsoft Excel (Windows or Mac, version as stated in the product description). The product description lists the requirements in detail.

6. Right of withdrawal

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal. Details are set out in the withdrawal policy. You can also declare your withdrawal online: Withdraw from contract. For digital content, the right of withdrawal expires early if, during checkout, you expressly agree that I begin providing the content before the end of the withdrawal period and confirm that you know you thereby lose your right of withdrawal (Sec. 356 (5) BGB).

7. Rights of use

All products are protected by copyright. Upon full payment you receive a simple, unlimited-in-time, non-transferable right to use the product for your own purposes:

  • Guides, e-books, collector's editions and Premium PDFs: reading, saving and printing for personal use; phone wallpapers as a background image on your own devices. Passing on, publishing, reselling or uploading to file-sharing platforms or shared cloud folders is not permitted. The files carry a licence notice.
  • Excel templates: use by you or within your own business, including your own adaptations. Reselling, passing on to third parties and offering the template or derived versions as your own product are not permitted.
  • Academy (once offered): personal use within the scope of your access; login details and sign-in links must not be passed on.

8. Updates

For Excel templates I provide updates within the same major version (e.g. 1.0 to 1.x) free of charge via your download page. A new major version (e.g. 2.0) may be a separate, paid product; existing customers then receive a discounted offer. There is no entitlement to new features.

Statutory update obligations towards consumers (Sec. 327f BGB), for example to maintain conformity with the contract or security, remain unaffected.

9. Defects

The statutory provisions on liability for defects apply, for consumers in particular Secs. 327 et seq. BGB on digital products. Please report errors to info@mindondigital.de – in most cases a corrected file helps quickly.

10. No legal, tax or personal advice

The guides and content reflect experience and assessments on leadership and everyday working life. They do not replace legal, tax, employment-law or psychological advice in individual cases. The Excel templates (e.g. the invoice generator) are tools; you remain responsible for the tax and legal correctness of your invoices and records.

11. Liability

I am liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and to the extent of any guarantee given.

In the event of a slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation – an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance you may regularly rely – liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded.

The statutory rights of consumers in the event of defects in digital products (Secs. 327 et seq. BGB) are not restricted by this section.

12. MindOnDigital Academy subscriptions

This section only applies once subscriptions are offered.

  • Term: the monthly subscription runs for one month, the annual subscription for twelve months from conclusion of the contract.
  • Renewal: the monthly subscription renews for one month at a time unless cancelled. The annual subscription does not renew for another year: if it is not cancelled by the end of the twelve months, it automatically continues as the monthly subscription at the monthly price of €6.99 and can then be cancelled monthly. I will remind you by email about 14 days before the switch. You can already give notice during the twelve months; no monthly subscription then arises. If the price of the annual subscription is refunded (e.g. after a withdrawal), it ends immediately and does not continue as a monthly subscription.
  • Cancellation: you can cancel at any time with effect from the end of the current billing period – via the "Cancel contracts here" button in the Academy or on the website, in the Stripe customer portal or by email to info@mindondigital.de. (app.mindondigital.de/widerruf/en/#kuendigen)
  • Prices: an introductory price (e.g. founding offer) only applies for the stated period. The price applicable thereafter is shown to you on the payment page before the contract is concluded.
  • Price changes for subscriptions: I will only change the price of a running subscription with your express consent. I will announce a planned change in text form (e.g. by email) at least six weeks in advance, stating the new price and the date. Silence does not count as consent. If you do not agree, your subscription continues at the previous price; I may then cancel it with effect from the end of the current billing period. Your right to cancel at any time with effect from the end of the current billing period remains unaffected.
  • Service: the scope results from the description on the website at the time the contract is concluded. Content may be supplemented, revised or replaced as long as the agreed overall scope is maintained.
  • Guides to keep: the booklets of the four guides “Success Blockers”, “Dealing with Difficult Bosses”, “Corporate Actors & PowerPoint Rangers” and “New at Work: The Unwritten Rules” unlocked with the annual subscription are yours to keep. You keep them permanently – also after the switch to the monthly subscription and also after cancellation.

13. Dispute resolution

I am neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. If you have questions or problems, simply write to info@mindondigital.de.

14. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice of law only applies insofar as it does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence.

Should any provision of these terms be invalid, the remainder of the contract remains valid; the statutory provision takes the place of the invalid provision.
