Terms / AGB

1. Scope and provider

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the use of the Energidea website and platform available at energidea.com and any related public pages, user accounts, subscriptions, credits, communications, and platform features offered by Lifeasy Services GmbH, Friedrich Str. 15, 70174 Stuttgart, Germany (“Energidea”, “we”, “us”).

The platform is primarily intended for business users, including installers, vendors, manufacturers, distributors, channel partners, and other professional market participants in the photovoltaic and energy storage sectors. If an individual uses the platform on behalf of an organization, that individual confirms that they are authorized to act for that organization in relation to the relevant use of the platform.

Separate contractual arrangements, order forms, plan descriptions, or feature-specific rules may supplement these Terms. In the event of a conflict, the more specific document shall prevail for the relevant service.

2. Nature of the platform

Energidea is a digital information and business-enablement platform. Depending on the live product configuration, the platform may provide, among other things, product listings, product comparison, approved assets and downloadable materials, vendor discovery, structured contact workflows, project or lead submission, user accounts, subscriptions, credits, and communication tools such as newsletters, vendor updates, and system notifications.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a specific transaction flow, Energidea is not the seller, reseller, importer, distributor, or contracting party for the third-party products presented by vendors on the platform. The platform does not guarantee that any lead, contact, introduction, or inquiry will result in a sale, partnership, response, or commercial outcome.

Vendors remain solely responsible for the products, claims, specifications, commercial offers, pricing information, performance statements, legal compliance, and other content they provide or cause to be displayed on the platform.

3. Eligibility and account use

Use of certain platform functions may require account registration. Users must provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information and must keep login credentials confidential. Accounts are personal to the registered user or authorized organization and may not be shared in a manner inconsistent with the subscribed plan or platform rules.

We may suspend or restrict access where we reasonably believe that account information is inaccurate, security is compromised, fees are overdue, platform rules are violated, or unlawful or abusive conduct has occurred.

4. User roles and platform conduct

The platform may support different user roles, such as installer-side roles, vendor-side roles, administrators, marketing users, product users, sales users, or other role-based permissions. The exact feature set may depend on the user role, subscription, credits, verification status, or internal platform logic.

Users must not misuse the platform. In particular, users must not upload unlawful content, infringe third-party rights, submit misleading product information, use the platform for spam or unauthorized solicitation, interfere with platform security, scrape protected content without authorization, or attempt to bypass payment, credit, or permission mechanisms.

We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend accounts if we reasonably consider this necessary to protect the platform, other users, legal compliance, or business integrity.

5. Vendor content, listings, and assets

Vendors and other authorized users that upload or publish product information, assets, descriptions, specifications, event information, or other materials warrant that they have the necessary rights and authority to provide such content and to authorize its display on the platform.

The uploading party remains responsible for ensuring that its content is accurate, lawful, non-misleading, up-to-date, and suitable for publication. Energidea may review, moderate, reject, unpublish, or remove content at its discretion, especially where the content conflicts with platform policies, legal requirements, business standards, or content-format rules.

By submitting content to the platform, the uploading party grants Energidea a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to host, store, reproduce, format, display, distribute, and otherwise use that content to operate, market, improve, and administer the platform, for the duration necessary to provide the relevant services, subject to any more specific agreement between the parties.

6. Leads, project requests, and contact routing

The platform may enable installer or user inquiries, structured project requests, vendor contact submissions, or other forms of lead routing. Energidea may route such submissions in accordance with the platform logic, the user’s selection, the applicable feature design, or the relevant commercial plan.

Energidea does not guarantee that a routed lead or request is exclusive, qualified, accurate, complete, responsive, or commercially valuable. Vendors are responsible for evaluating and following up on leads independently. Installers and other users are responsible for the accuracy and legitimacy of the information they submit.

Where the platform uses credits or paid access to unlock, route, or view certain leads or related data, the applicable feature description, pricing page, or order flow shall determine the operational rules for that service.

7. Paid services, subscriptions, and credits

Certain features of Energidea may be offered on a paid basis, including subscriptions, add-on services, lead-related functionality, credit packages, sponsored features, premium visibility, or other paid tools. The applicable pricing, billing cycle, included features, renewal model, and usage rules will be shown in the relevant order flow, plan page, or commercial agreement.

Credits, where offered, are digital usage units for specified platform functions only. Credits have no cash value except where mandatory law requires otherwise. Unless expressly stated otherwise in the applicable commercial terms, credits are non-transferable, non-refundable after valid purchase and allocation, and may expire or be limited by plan rules.

We may modify plan structure, pricing, included features, or usage limits for future billing periods or future purchases. Material changes to existing recurring subscriptions should be communicated in advance where legally required or commercially appropriate.

8. Payment terms

Payments may be processed through Stripe, PayPal, or another payment method made available on the platform. By completing a purchase, the customer authorizes the selected payment provider to process the relevant transaction.

Fees are due as specified in the applicable order flow or invoice. If payment fails, is reversed, is disputed, or becomes overdue, we may suspend paid features, cancel access to subscription benefits, or withhold delivery of usage entitlements until the issue is resolved.

Unless otherwise stated, fees are quoted net of any applicable taxes, duties, or similar charges. Where VAT or other indirect taxes apply, they may be added as required by law. The customer is responsible for providing accurate billing information and any tax identification information relevant to invoicing.

9. Term, renewal, and termination

Subscriptions continue for the term selected at purchase and may renew automatically if this is stated in the relevant order flow. Users can cancel recurring subscriptions in accordance with the cancellation rules shown at purchase or in their account, subject to any minimum term or notice period communicated for the relevant service.

Both parties may terminate for cause if continuation of the contractual relationship can no longer reasonably be expected, for example in cases of serious breach, fraud, repeated misuse, unlawful conduct, or persistent non-payment.

Upon termination or expiry, access to paid features may end immediately or at the end of the active period, depending on the applicable plan logic. Certain data may remain stored where necessary for legal compliance, records, security, accounting, fraud prevention, or legitimate platform interests.

10. Intellectual property

All rights in the platform, software, interface design, text, branding, databases, selection and arrangement of content, and other materials created by Energidea or its licensors remain with Energidea or the relevant rights holders. Except for the limited right to use the platform in accordance with these Terms, no rights are granted.

Users may not copy, reverse engineer, decompile, redistribute, resell, or create derivative works from the platform or protected content, except as expressly permitted by law or by a written agreement.

11. Availability and changes

We seek to keep the platform available and functional, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Maintenance, updates, technical issues, security measures, third-party outages, and product changes may affect availability or functionality from time to time.

We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue platform features where reasonably necessary for legal, security, technical, operational, or business reasons.

12. Warranty and liability

The platform and all content are provided subject to the limitations of applicable law. Product data, specifications, marketing claims, technical descriptions, certifications, and commercial information from vendors may change and should be independently verified by users before making technical, legal, procurement, investment, or installation decisions.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Energidea shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or purely economic losses, including lost profits, lost business opportunities, lost leads, lost revenue, or reputational harm, arising from or in connection with the use of the platform.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body, or health, fraudulent concealment, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law. Where liability is limited by law in cases of slight negligence for breach of essential contractual obligations, liability shall be limited to foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

13. Indemnity

Users shall indemnify and hold Energidea harmless from third-party claims, losses, costs, and expenses arising from content they submit, their misuse of the platform, their breach of these Terms, or their infringement of third-party rights, unless they are not responsible for the relevant event.

14. Confidentiality and data protection

Where users receive access to non-public information through the platform, they must treat such information as confidential unless it is publicly available, independently developed, lawfully received from a third party, or disclosure is required by law.

Personal data is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy published on the website.

15. Consumer information

The platform is primarily directed at business customers. If any service is exceptionally offered to consumers, additional mandatory consumer information and withdrawal rights may apply and may be provided separately in the relevant purchase flow.

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of Germany, excluding conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), to the extent legally permissible.

If the user is a merchant, legal entity under public law, or special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be Stuttgart, Germany. Mandatory statutory jurisdictions remain unaffected.

17. Final provisions

If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced, to the extent possible, by a valid provision that most closely reflects the economic intent of the original provision.

No waiver of any right or remedy shall be effective unless made in writing.
