Terms & Conditions
Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen (AGB)
Last updated: 15 June 2026
§ 1 Scope and provider
These General Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the contractual relationship between Gerhardt Lutterodt, trading as VII Technologies, Donaustraße 44, 12043 Berlin, Germany ("VII Technologies", "we", "us") and the customer ("Customer") regarding the use of the software services, browser extensions, platform, and related automated offerings provided via viitechnologies.eu and any associated subdomains (the "Services"). These Terms apply to both consumers (§ 13 BGB) and entrepreneurs (§ 14 BGB). Conflicting or deviating terms of the Customer shall not apply unless we have expressly agreed to them in writing.
§ 2 Conclusion of contract
The presentation of the Services on our website does not constitute a binding offer. By registering an account, installing our browser extensions, or subscribing to a service plan, the Customer makes a binding offer to conclude a contract. The contract is concluded upon our acceptance, which may be expressed by activation of the account, provisioning of the digital service dashboard, or by a separate confirmation in text form (§ 126b BGB).
§ 3 Services provided
VII Technologies provides an AI-driven data privacy platform that monitors public web sources, data brokers, and databases to identify exposed personal information and automates data removal requests on behalf of the Customer. The exact scope of functionality, features, and update cycles results from the respective service description valid on our website at the time of contract conclusion. We reserve the right to further develop, adapt, optimize, or reasonably restrict the automated tools, in particular for technical, security, maintenance, API availability, or legal reasons.
§ 4 Registration and customer obligations
The Customer is required to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration (including any data validation parameters required to execute removal requests) and to keep this information up to date. Login credentials must be kept strictly confidential. The Customer is entirely responsible for all activities carried out under their account and must immediately notify us of any suspected unauthorized use.
§ 5 Prices and payment terms
All prices listed on our website are in Euro (EUR). For consumers, prices include the statutory German value-added tax (VAT). For business customers, prices are displayed as net prices and exclude statutory VAT unless stated otherwise. Fees are due in advance for the agreed billing period (e.g., monthly or annually). Invoices are issued exclusively in electronic format. In the event of payment default, we are entitled to charge default interest in accordance with statutory provisions (§§ 286, 288 BGB) and to temporarily suspend access to the platform.
§ 6 Term and termination
Subscriptions run for the specific term selected by the Customer (e.g., monthly or annually) and shall renew automatically for the same period unless terminated by either party with at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the current billing term. The right to extraordinary termination for cause (wichtiger Grund) remains unaffected. Terminations can be made in text form (e.g., via email) or via the provided account cancellation mechanisms within the dashboard.
§ 7 Right of withdrawal for consumers
Consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB are entitled to a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal. Important Notice on Digital Services: The Customer explicitly agrees and acknowledges that the right of withdrawal expires prematurely if VII Technologies has fully performed the service (such as completing an immediate initial automated privacy scan and dispatching removal requests) and did not begin executing the service before the consumer gave explicit prior consent and acknowledged the loss of the right of withdrawal upon full contract performance.
§ 8 Availability and service levels
We strive to ensure an annual average availability of our digital platform of 99.5%. Excluded from this calculation are scheduled maintenance windows announced in advance, as well as disruptions outside our sphere of influence (including force majeure, structural network outages, or sweeping structural updates to external data broker opt-out mechanisms).
§ 9 Liability
We are liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, in cases of intent and gross negligence, as well as under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz). In the event of slight negligence, we are liable only for a breach of essential contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten); in this case, our liability is strictly limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. VII Technologies acts as an agent deploying automated data removal requests, but does not guarantee third-party broker compliance; any liability for third-party refusal to delete data is excluded.
§ 10 Data protection
The processing of personal data is strictly carried out in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Our data collection scopes and processing practices are outlined cleanly in our separate Privacy Policy. Where a business Customer processes corporate employee data within our infrastructure, the parties shall conclude a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
§ 11 Intellectual property
All rights to the platform, AI scanners, browser extensions, underlying software, source code, documentation, logos, and designs remain exclusively with VII Technologies or its licensors. The Customer receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable right to use the system within the agreed scope for the explicit duration of the contract.
§ 12 Final provisions
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that it does not deprive them of mandatory consumer protection laws of their country of residence. If the Customer is a merchant (Kaufmann), a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Berlin, Germany. Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain entirely unaffected.
