Terms and Conditions

1. Provider and scope

These terms apply to all contracts between Weyfie, referred to below as the provider, and its customers for the provision, use and extension of digital online galleries.

Provider: Patrick Hess | Online Media, owner Patrick Hess, unregistered sole proprietorship, Agathastr. 18, 57482 Wenden, Germany, email: patrick@hessonline.net.

2. Contract conclusion

The presentation of services on the website does not constitute a binding offer.

A contract is concluded once the provider confirms the booking, activates the gallery or otherwise starts providing the service.

3. Scope of service

The provider supplies digital online galleries according to the plan selected during checkout. The specific scope, including image limit, features, access options and availability period, follows from the service description at the time of contract conclusion.

The provider may further develop the service technically or use suitable third parties as long as the legitimate interests of customers are not unreasonably affected.

4. Prices and payment terms

The prices shown during booking apply. All prices are final prices in euros.

Under section 19 UStG, no German VAT is shown because the provider uses the small-business regulation. Payment is made exclusively through PayPal and is due immediately.

If no payment is due for a plan, the gallery is provided after the booking process is completed. If an invoice must be issued, it is provided electronically.

5. Customer duties and responsibility

Customers may only upload, publish or share content for which they hold the required rights. They must ensure that using, uploading, storing or sharing gallery content does not infringe third-party rights.

This also applies to third-party photos, forwarded images, screenshots, social-media downloads and images from professional photographers. Such content may only be used with sufficient permission.

Customers must keep access data and share links confidential and independently organize participant information and any legally required consents before or during the event.

Special care is required when children or young people are recognizable. Customers should carefully check before publication whether use in the event context has been coordinated and whether additional consents are required.

This is especially relevant for private event galleries where guests can upload or view images. Opt-out, deletion and objection requests from participants must be handled promptly.

6. Roles for event galleries

Customers decide whether and for which event a gallery is used, who receives access, whether mobile uploads or a visible gallery are enabled, and which content is published or shared within the gallery.

Weyfie provides the technical platform and is responsible in particular for registration, login, security, session management, payment processing, platform protection and handling image reports and abuse cases.

Where Weyfie technically stores and provides gallery content for customers, this is done as a platform service. No general data processing agreement is currently offered for the standard private event gallery product. If legal requirements for commissioned processing apply in an individual case and Weyfie expressly offers it, supplementary contractual terms may be provided.

7. Blocking and contract handling

The provider may temporarily block access to a gallery or individual content if there are concrete indications of abuse, unlawful content or significant security risks.

Gallery availability depends on the booked plan and the service description. A claim to permanent unlimited storage exists only if expressly agreed.

8. Rights to images

Rights to uploaded images remain with the customer or the respective rights holders.

Customers grant the provider the non-exclusive rights required to store, technically process, provide, display, moderate and share the content within the service.

9. Online gallery and availability

Access data for online galleries must be treated confidentially. The provider does not owe uninterrupted technical availability, but strives to operate the service reliably.

The availability period of a gallery depends on the booked package or individual agreement.

10. Limitation of liability

The provider is fully liable for intent, gross negligence and injury to life, body or health.

For slightly negligent breaches of material contractual duties, liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage. Otherwise, liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

11. Withdrawal for consumers

Consumers receive separate withdrawal information on the website. Statutory rules also apply.

For paid gallery packages and paid upgrades, checkout asks for express consent to the immediate start of service. The right of withdrawal is lost only if the statutory requirements are met.

12. Privacy

Personal data is processed according to statutory rules, in particular GDPR and German data protection law, and according to the privacy policy provided on the website. The privacy policy also describes the role split between platform operation by Weyfie and event-related use by customers.

13. Dispute resolution

The provider is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board unless legally required.

14. Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, unless mandatory consumer protection rules provide otherwise.

If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is the provider's registered place of business.
