Terms of Service

Last Updated: Januar 2026

§ 1 Scope

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all contracts between Tom Silas Helmke, c/o Online-Impressum.de #4746, Europaring 90, 53757 Sankt Augustin, Germany (hereinafter "Provider") and the customer regarding the use of the CompanysControll platform.

Deviating terms of the customer are not recognized unless the Provider expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

The contract language is German.

§ 2 Subject Matter

The Provider provides the customer with a web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for managing business activities. The platform includes the following features:

  • Venture Management (management of business ventures)
  • Entity Tracking (management of business entities)
  • Time Tracking
  • Cashflow Tracking
  • Goal Management
  • Canvas Visualization

Access to the platform is provided via the internet using a web browser. No installation on the customer's device is required.

§ 3 Contract Formation

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

A contract is formed through the customer's registration on the platform and confirmation by the Provider.

The customer must be at least 18 years old at the time of contract formation.

For paid plans, the contract is only formed upon successful payment confirmation.

§ 4 Usage Rights

The Provider grants the customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the platform for the duration of the contract. The following restrictions apply:

  • Sublicensing to third parties is not permitted.
  • Reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly of the software is prohibited.
  • Usage is exclusively permitted for the customer's own business purposes.
  • Transfer of usage rights to third parties requires prior written consent of the Provider.
§ 5 Customer Obligations

The customer is obligated in particular to:

  • Keep login credentials confidential and protect them from third-party access. The Provider must be notified immediately if misuse is suspected.
  • Not upload any unlawful, offensive, or rights-infringing content to the platform.
  • Perform own data backups. The Provider recommends regular exports of entered data.
  • Keep current contact information, especially the email address, up to date.
§ 6 Fees and Payment

The platform is offered in the following plans:

  • Free: Free – Basic features with limited scope
  • Pro: €9.99 per month or €99.99 per year (equivalent to €8.33 per month)
  • Business: €19.99 per month or €199.99 per year (equivalent to €16.67 per month)

The Provider is a small business pursuant to § 19 UStG (German VAT Act). Therefore, the stated prices do not include VAT and VAT is not separately shown on invoices.

Fees are due in advance – monthly or annually, depending on the chosen billing period.

Payment processing is handled by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. The terms of use of Stripe additionally apply.

In the event of payment default, the Provider is entitled to temporarily suspend access to the platform after an unsuccessful reminder. The obligation to pay the agreed fees remains unaffected.

§ 7 Plan Changes

An upgrade to a higher plan is possible at any time. The difference is calculated on a pro-rata basis.

A downgrade to a lower plan takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Already paid amounts are credited proportionally when changing plans.

§ 8 Availability

The Provider aims for platform availability of 99% on an annual average. This is a target value and not a guaranteed Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Planned maintenance work is announced to the customer in advance and takes place outside normal business hours whenever possible.

Outages due to force majeure (e.g., natural disasters, power failures, internet network disruptions) do not give rise to claims for damages or reduction.

§ 9 Warranty

The Provider warrants the contractual functionality of the platform within the scope of the respective plan.

Defects are remedied promptly after becoming known. The Provider will inform the customer about significant changes.

Minor deviations of the platform from the service description do not constitute defects, provided usability is not significantly impaired.

For the free plan, the platform is provided "as is" without warranty.

§ 10 Liability

The Provider is liable without limitation for intentional acts and gross negligence.

In cases of slight negligence, the Provider is only liable for breaches of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations). In this case, liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage.

Liability for data loss is limited to the typical recovery costs that would have occurred if the customer had made regular and appropriate backup copies.

The above limitations of liability do not apply to damages arising from injury to life, body, or health.

For the free plan, the Provider is only liable for intentional acts.

§ 11 Contract Duration and Termination
  • Monthly subscription: The contract can be terminated with 14 days' notice before the end of the respective billing month.
  • Annual subscription: The contract is automatically renewed for another year unless terminated with 30 days' notice before the end of the current contract year.
  • Free plan: The free plan can be terminated at any time without notice.

The right of both parties to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected.

Termination can be submitted via email to mrworldlink1@gmail.com or through the customer area of the platform.

§ 12 Data After Contract End

After termination of the contract, the customer's data remains accessible for a period of 30 days.

The customer has the option to download their data before contract end using the platform's export function.

After the 30-day period, all personal data and content of the customer will be irrevocably deleted.

Statutory retention obligations (in particular tax and commercial law retention periods) remain unaffected.

§ 13 Data Protection

Details on the collection, processing, and use of personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy, available at /privacy.

The Provider takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the customer's data.

Insofar as the Provider uses third-party providers as data processors (e.g., Supabase, Stripe, Vercel), corresponding data processing agreements are in place.

§ 14 Changes to the GTC

The Provider reserves the right to amend these GTC with a notice period of 30 days.

The customer will be informed of changes via email to the registered email address.

If the customer does not object to the amended GTC within 30 days of receiving the change notification, the amended GTC are deemed accepted.

In the event of objection, the customer has a special right of termination effective at the time the changes take effect.

§ 15 Final Provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Sankt Augustin.

Should individual provisions of these GTC be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a provision that most closely reflects the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
