Web portal CHOSIE terms and conditions of use

1. Object of the terms and conditions for participation and use

1.1 Choisie OOD (hereinafter referred to as "Choisie" or "we") provides a platform at www.chosie.com (hereinafter referred to as "the portal"), via which the duly registered customers or models (hereinafter referred to jointly as the “participants”) can communicate and interact with one another. The participants can create individual personal profiles, request access to the available content on the portal, and also use the other currently available free and paid services within the scope of the respective availability.

1.2 These terms and conditions for participation and use govern the provision of services by Choisie and the use of these services by you as a duly registered participant.

2. Amendments to the terms and conditions for participation and use

Choisie reserves the right to change these terms and conditions for participation and use at any time also with effect within the existing contractual relationships. Choisie shall notify you of any such changes at least 30 calendar days before the planned coming into effect of said changes. Provided that you do not object within 30 days of receipt of the notification and continue the use of the services after the expiry of the objection period, the changes shall be deemed to be effective as of the lapse of time. In the event of your opposition, the contract will be continued under the existing conditions. In the notification of amendments, Choisie will indicate your right of objection and the consequences.

3. Registration authorisation

3.1 The use of the services that are available on the portal requires your registration as a participant. There is no entitlement to participate. Choisie is entitled to reject registrations for participation without giving reasons.

3.2 Registration is only permitted if you are of full age and unlimited in your legal capacity. Minors are not allowed to register. In the event of a legal person, registration must be made by a natural person with unlimited capacity and who is authorised to act as a representative.

4. Your registration on the portal

4.1 Contact details and other information requested by us during the registration process must be stated completely and correctly. When registering a legal person, the authorised natural person must also be indicated. Choisie reserves the right to review the information by submitting appropriate documents, such as an extract from the commercial register or a personal identity card.

4.2 After all the details requested by you have been provided they shall be checked by Choisie for completeness and plausibility. If, from our point of view, the information is correct and, in our view, there are no other concerns, we will activate your requested access and notify you by e-mail. The e- mail that is sent is considered an acceptance of your request for participation. From the receipt of the e-mail, you are entitled to use the portal under these terms and conditions for participation and use. For this purpose, you must confirm your activation by clicking on the link in the e-mail that is sent.

5. Responsibility for access details

5.1 In the course of the registration process, you will be asked to provide a username and password. With these details, you are able to log in to the portal after the activation of your access and your confirmation in accordance with section 4.3. It is your responsibility to ensure that the username does not violate the rights of third parties, in particular no name or trademark rights and that it does not violate common decency.

5.2 The access details including the password must be kept secret by you and shall not be made accessible to unauthorised third parties.

5.3 Furthermore, it is your responsibility to ensure that your access to the portal and the use of the services available on the portal is exclusively carried out by you or by the persons authorised by you. If you are concerned that any unauthorised third parties are aware of your access data or are likely to obtain it, please inform Choisie immediately.

5.4 You are liable for any use and/or other activity that is carried out with your access details, in accordance with the legal regulations.

6. Updating participants’ details

You are obliged to keep your details (including your contact details) current and up-to-date. If any change occurs within the duration of your participation, you must correct the information immediately on the portal in the section of your personal settings. If this does not work, please inform us immediately of any changes to your details either by e-mail or fax.

7. Termination of the participation

7.1 Access can be terminated at any time by signing out of the portal.

7.2 If termination takes effect, the contractual relationship ends and you are no longer allowed to use your access. Choisie reserves the right to block the username and password with the coming into force of the termination.

7.3 Choisie is entitled to irrevocably terminate all data that has arisen within the scope of your participation after the expiry of 30 calendar days after the termination has taken effect and after the expiry of any statutory period.

8. Service portfolio and availability of services

8.1 Choisie allows you to market or advertise your person as a model on the portal or to communicate and interact with the model presented here, in order to compile a suitable service package for you. For this purpose, Choisie provides various information and other services for temporary use. Such services can be, for example, the making available of data, contributions, image and audio documents, information and other content (hereinafter jointly referred to as the "content"), the possibility of creating individual profiles and to establish contact with other participants by creating personal messages.

8.2 Provided that a customer decides to book a specific model and certain services by individually compiling the individual performance parts for a desired project with the interaction with the model, the customer clicks on the appropriate button ("book model now", or similar). The end customer is then forwarded to the website of Digistore24 GmbH, St-Godehard-Str. 32, 31139 Hildesheim, www.digistore24.com (hereinafter referred to as "Digistore24"). Here the end customer is informed in the online booking process offered there that Digistore24 is the supplier of the desired catalogue of services of the model. In this booking process, in order for the end customer to complete the booking, they must provide personal details, select the method of payment, provide the required information and then activate the booking process. Digistore24 allows the customer various payment methods. Payment recipient and accounting office is Digistore24. Following this booking process, the Digistore24 customer will receive an e-mail with the booking confirmation. However, this booking confirmation does not constitute an acceptance of the offer sent by the customer to Digistore24. The acceptance through Digistore24 takes place by means of a specific declaration of acceptance with respect to the customer by e-mail. Digistore24 is entitled to reject contractual offers without specifying reasons. A contract is concluded exclusively with Digistore24 when booking a model. A transfer of rights of the model’s buyouts is also exclusively carried out by Digistore24 to the participant in the context of the contractual relationship between these parties. Choisie is merely acting as an intermediary.

8.3 Third party services can also belong to the available services, which Choisie only provides access to. For the use of such services - which are respectively marked as

third party services - additional regulations may be applicable which deviate from these terms and conditions for participation and use.

8.4 Furthermore, there is a claim for the use of the services available on the portal only within the scope of the technical and operational possibilities with Choisie. We endeavour to ensure the uninterrupted usability of these services. However, technical interferences (such as power interruptions, hardware and software failures, technical problems in the data lines) may result in temporary limitations or interruptions.

9. Protection of content, responsibility for third party content

9.1 The content available on the portal is protected by copyright or other such proprietary rights and is owned by Choisie, the other participant or other third parties, who have provided the respective content. You may only use this content in accordance with these terms of participation and use as well as within the framework provided on the portal.

9.2 The content available on the portal comes partly from Choisie and partly from other participants or other third parties. The content of the participants as well as other third parties is referred to collectively as “third party content". Choisie does not carry out any checks with regard to completeness, correctness or legality in the case of third party content, and therefore does not accept any responsibility or make any guarantees for the completeness, correctness, legality and topicality of the third party content. This also applies to the quality of the third party content and its suitability for a specific purpose, and also as far as third party content on linked external websites is concerned. All content on the portal is third party content, except content that is provided with a copyright notice on behalf of Choisie.

12.4 Choisie reserves the right to refuse the configuring of content and/or any editing, blocking or removal of already configured content without prior notice, provided that the configuring of the content by participant or the configured content itself results in a breach of clause 14 or there are specific indications that a serious breach of clause 14 will occur.
