  7. Consequences of violations of law, Terms and Conditions, and Guidelines

    1. The online marketplace of ThrivingLocally can only work smoothly if all members adhere to the terms of use and guidelines.  Therefore, ThrivingLocally reserves the right to take measures against members where specific evidence suggests that the member, through his or her use of the platform, violates or has violated applicable law and/or these Terms and Conditions. When deciding upon these measures, ThrivingLocally shall take into consideration the operational requirements of the ThrivingLocally platform; own liability risks as well as the legitimate interests of any party asserting a claim and those of the member (e.g. debts, seriousness of the breach of duty, risks, statement of the user).
    2. If ThrivingLocally should learn of evidence for breaches of duty on the part of the member, e.g. through complaints from third parties, ThrivingLocally will inform the member thereof. When doing so, ThrivingLocally is entitled to set a time limit for the member to submit a statement on a case by case basis; in the case of extreme urgency, this time limit can be just a few hours.
    3. The sanctions which ThrivingLocally can place on a member are:
      1. issue a written warning to the member, demanding the violation is immediately ceased;

The fixing of the compensation does not affect the right to provide evidence that no loss, considerably lower losses or considerably higher losses have been incurred.
    5. A member whose membership has been terminated is not allowed to re-register at ThrivingLocally or to use other member accounts.
    6. ThrivingLocally is entitled to remove offers of members at its own discretion if these offers are not in line with the overall image of the ThrivingLocally platform.

ThrivingLocally reserves the right to demand to see the original of the power of attorney document.

  9. Indemnity

    1. The member releases ThrivingLocally from any claims which third parties might assert against ThrivingLocally due to a rights infringement or breach of duty of the member, unless the member is not responsible for the breach of duty.

In addition to legal grounds for termination for good cause, it shall also constitute cause for immediate termination for ThrivingLocally if a member, upon receiving a reminder from ThrivingLocally (which can be grounds for default), does not pay the remuneration due within a reasonable period of time and is in default of payment at the time of the termination. ThrivingLocally is entitled to institute preliminary measures as per clause 7.3 during the time period.

  11. Rights of Use

    1. The member grants ThrivingLocally all rights in the content uploaded by him or her to the online platform necessary for the fulfillment of the agreement.
