For a published profile or a published event you can book the advertising package, an advertising service of EDM Hub. We describe it in the same words everywhere – in the booking dialog, at checkout, on the invoice and in the confirmation:
Advertising package, 12 months: For twelve months the entry carries the Featured mark and appears in the featured rows of the home page and the lists.
An entry is published without the advertising package and stays published. The package is no condition for publishing; whoever does not book it loses nothing.
You set the price yourself: an amount in whole euros from €10 to €500. The package is the same for every amount. The amount is never shown publicly and changes neither the mark nor the place in the featured rows.
The amount is a final price. Under the small-business rule (§ 19 (1) UStG, German VAT Act) we charge and show no VAT; for a booking by a business outside Germany the amount contains no German VAT.
The package starts once your payment has reached us and runs for twelve months. If you book it again while it is running, the new twelve months follow the end of the running ones. The package ends by itself; it does not renew and needs no cancellation.
The package buys no placement: the ordinary lists, the search and the map stay sorted as they are without it. The featured rows are marked as advertising (“Featured”) and show the featured entries in changing order.
Businesses and private persons in Germany can book, and businesses in the EU, in Switzerland and in the United Kingdom. You pay on the page of our payment provider Stripe; your card or account details never reach us.
For every booking you receive an invoice as a PDF: in German when the paying person or company is based in Germany, otherwise in English. If a tax office asks for a translation of an English invoice, the recipient of the invoice provides it.
Private persons who book as consumers can withdraw from the booking within fourteen days and then get the full amount back (see “Withdrawal notice”). Businesses have no right of withdrawal.
Whoever books as a consumer expressly requests at the booking that the advertising package starts at once, and confirms that the right of withdrawal expires once the package has been provided in full (§ 356 (4) BGB). The package runs for twelve months, so the right to withdraw within fourteen days stays: a withdrawal within that period brings the full amount back, and the package ends.
If we refund a payment, the twelve months of that payment fall away – without another booking the package ends with the refund – and you receive a credit note.
