Terms and conditions

1. Scope

These terms and conditions govern the contract between webconia GmbH, Gänsemarkt 31, 20354 Hamburg, Germany (the “Provider”) and the persons who use freelancerjury (the “User”). By registering or uploading a CV, the User accepts these terms. Conflicting terms of the User do not apply.

2. Service

freelancerjury is a web-based platform (software as a service) that compares a freelancer's profile, taken from an uploaded CV, with the skills in demand on the market. The User receives a verdict with a market-fit score, findings, strengths, an hourly-rate check and training hints.

There is a free plan (“Free”) and a paid plan (“Pro”). The scope of each plan follows from the description on the website at the time the contract is concluded. The Provider may further develop the platform and change features as long as the essential scope of services is preserved.

3. No guarantee of results

The verdict is based on statistical analysis of project postings and on automated, AI-assisted processing. It is guidance, not a forecast or assurance. The Provider does not broker assignments, does not guarantee projects, placements or income, and does not provide legal, tax or career advice. Market data may be incomplete; hourly-rate values may in part derive from converted salary figures.

4. Registration and access

Using the full results requires an account. The User must provide truthful information, keep credentials confidential and notify the Provider of unauthorised access. An account is not transferable.

5. Obligations of the User

The User may only upload their own CVs or CVs they are entitled to process. In particular, the following is prohibited:

• uploading content that infringes third-party rights, is unlawful or contains malware;
• automated access, scraping of market data, or access that impairs operation or circumvents safeguards (e.g. rate limits);
• using the platform to systematically copy or resell market data or verdicts or to build competing services;
• attempts to circumvent security mechanisms or the anonymisation, and inputs aimed at manipulating the AI processing.

6. Rights of use

The Provider grants the User a simple, non-transferable right to use the platform for their own purposes for the duration of the contract. All rights to software, design, trademarks and market data remain with the Provider or the respective rights holders. The User retains the rights to their content and grants the Provider the right to process it to deliver the service (anonymisation, analysis, storage, transfer to the service providers used).

7. Prices and payment

The current prices are shown on the website before the contract is concluded. The Pro plan is billed monthly or annually in advance. Payment is processed by the payment service provider Stripe. Pro renews automatically for the booked period unless cancelled in time. The Provider announces price changes in text form at least four weeks before the current period ends; until then the User may cancel effective at the end of the period.

8. Term and cancellation

The Free plan can be ended at any time by having the account deleted. Pro can be cancelled at any time with effect from the end of the paid period, in the account or by email to [email protected]. The right of both sides to terminate for good cause remains unaffected; in particular, the Provider may block accounts for serious breaches of clause 5.

9. Right of withdrawal for consumers

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days when concluding a paid contract. A clear statement to webconia GmbH, Gänsemarkt 31, 20354 Hamburg, email: [email protected], is sufficient to exercise it.

If the Provider begins performance before the withdrawal period expires at the consumer's express request and the consumer confirms that they lose their right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed, the right of withdrawal expires upon full performance; in the case of earlier withdrawal, compensation is due for the services provided up to that point. Businesses (freelancers acting in the course of their self-employed activity) have no right of withdrawal.

10. Availability

The Provider aims for high availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance work will be announced where possible.

11. Liability

The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the Product Liability Act and where it has given a guarantee. In case of slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on which the User may regularly rely), liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Otherwise liability for slight negligence is excluded. For decisions the User makes on the basis of the verdict, the Provider is liable only under this provision.

12. Data protection

How we process personal data is set out in our privacy policy.

13. Changes to these terms

The Provider may change these terms with effect for the future if there is an objective reason (e.g. change in law, new features). Changes are notified to the User in text form at least four weeks in advance. If the User does not object within this period, the changes are deemed approved; the notification points this out.

14. Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; for consumers this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of mandatory consumer protection provisions of their country of residence. The place of jurisdiction for disputes with merchants, legal entities under public law and special funds under public law is Hamburg. If individual provisions are invalid, the validity of the others remains unaffected.
