7. Confidentiality & Conduct

7.1 Non-Disclosure

You agree to keep all information provided by the Company—whether in emails, attachments, documents or any other written or oral form—confidential, insofar as it is expressly marked as confidential or can reasonably be understood to be confidential (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes, in particular, information relating to suppliers, business ideas, know-how, trade secrets, personal data, procedures, order quantities, product or service prices, substances, samples, specifications, analyses and recipes. Publishing or quoting any written or oral communication from the Company on any public platform, especially the internet and in reviews, is prohibited. Confidential Information may be used solely for the purposes of the contractual relationship and access shall be limited to persons who have a legitimate need to know for such purposes as well as who are bound by confidentiality obligations. Any unauthorized use, reproduction or disclosure of Confidential Information is prohibited. This obligation does not apply to information that you can demonstrate: (i) was lawfully known prior to disclosure, (ii) is or becomes publicly available without breach of this agreement, (iii) was independently developed without use of Confidential Information, or (iv) was legally obtained from a third party. If disclosure is required by law or by order of a competent authority, you shall, where legally permitted, inform the Company in advance. You shall ensure that any third parties to whom Confidential Information is disclosed in accordance with this clause are bound by confidentiality obligations at least equivalent to those set out herein. Each unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information constitutes a separate incident. In the event of a culpable breach of this confidentiality obligation, you agree to pay liquidated damages in the amount of 3,000.00 EUR per incident. This amount represents a reasonable estimate of the typical damage, including operational disruption and reputational harm. You may prove that no damage or significantly lower damage has occurred. The right to assert further damages remains unaffected.

7.2 Respectful Behavior

You agree to treat the Company’s employees, representatives and affiliates with respect. Insulting, abusive, defamatory, harassing, discriminatory or threatening behavior—whether written, verbal or in digital form—is prohibited. The Company may, in the event of a violation of this clause, take appropriate as well as proportionate measures, including issuing a warning and, in cases of serious or repeated violations, restricting or terminating accounts or communications. Each separate communication (e.g., message or email) that violates this clause constitutes a separate incident. If you culpably breach this clause, you agree to pay liquidated damages in the amount of 1,500.00 EUR per incident. This amount represents a reasonable estimate of the typical damage, in particular operational disruption and reputational harm, that may result from such conduct. The right to assert further damages remains unaffected. You may prove that no damage or significantly lower damage has occurred. This clause does not apply to objective, fact-based and good-faith criticism or complaints.

11. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

All disputes between Beldton and the User / Customer shall be finally settled, at the option of Beldton; i) either by the ordinary courts of law or ii) an arbitral tribunal in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the German Institution of Arbitration e.V. (DIS), without recourse to the ordinary courts of law. For the avoidance of doubt, the User / Customer is only authorized to bring an action before the ordinary courts of law. Beldton is obliged, at the User / Customer’s written request by e-mail, to exercise its right to choose (ordinary court of law or arbitral tribunal) within thirty (30) days of receipt of such request at the latest. If Beldton refuses to exercise its right to choose, or exercises it late, this shall be deemed as an election of the ordinary courts of law. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitral tribunal shall be comprised of a sole arbitrator. The seat of the arbitration is Cologne, Germany. The language of the arbitration shall be English. In the event that recourse to the ordinary courts of law is chosen and arbitration is not conducted in accordance with the foregoing arbitration clauses, or if a clause is deemed inapplicable / ineffective, all disputes between Beldton and the User / Customer shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Cologne, Germany. All disputes resulting out of or in connection with the Agreement, whether in arbitral tribunal or ordinary court, shall be governed by German law. The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) are excluded, unless the position of Beldton is favourable under the UNCITRAL and / or CISG rather than under German Law, the Agreement as well as General Terms and Conditions.

In the event of any dispute, you agree to first contact us to seek an amicable resolution. You agree to waive any right to participate in class actions or collective proceedings.
