Participation in the Lumawelt Affiliate Program is open to self-employed individuals (Freiberufler or Gewerbetreibender) and legally registered legal entities (GmbH, UG, AG, etc.), with a minimum age of 18 years, who maintain an active and authentic presence on at least one digital platform.

By enrolling in the program, the affiliate expressly declares that they are acting for professional or commercial purposes (pursuant to § 14 BGB — Unternehmer) and not as a consumer (pursuant to § 13 BGB — Verbraucher). Consequently, consumer protection provisions shall not apply to this agreement.

The affiliate is solely responsible for fulfilling all tax and commercial registration obligations imposed by applicable German law, including the obligation to register as a Freiberufler or Gewerbetreibender (pursuant to § 1 GewO — Gewerbeordnung) and the corresponding tax reporting obligations (pursuant to § 19 UStG — Kleinunternehmerregelung). Bliyt does not provide tax or legal advice and assumes no liability for the affiliate's tax situation (pursuant to § 276 BGB — limitation of liability for negligence). By accepting this agreement, the affiliate confirms that they have been informed of these obligations and undertakes to comply with them in full at their own responsibility.

Lumawelt reserves the right to reject any application that does not meet the platform's criteria, without any obligation to provide reasons for such decision (pursuant to § 145 BGB — offer and acceptance). Lumawelt's decision is final and cannot be contested.

This agreement enters into force on the date of signing the contract between Lumawelt and the affiliate, following written confirmation of the collaboration agreement by both parties (pursuant to § 130 BGB — the moment a declaration of intent takes effect).

Lumawelt will evaluate the affiliate's application and provide a response within 48 working hours. Approval is confirmed via written notification, after which the contract signing process follows.

Written confirmation may be transmitted by email or through the Lumawelt platform and shall have full legal validity (pursuant to § 126b BGB — text form). Verbal communications do not constitute acceptance of an agreement and produce no legal effects.

The affiliate shall not engage in any promotional activity on behalf of Lumawelt or its sellers prior to the signing of the contract and confirmation of payment (pursuant to § 631 BGB — contract for services). Any activity carried out prior to this moment shall not engage Lumawelt's liability and shall not entitle the affiliate to any remuneration.

The collaboration offer transmitted by Lumawelt is valid for 14 calendar days from the date of transmission. If the affiliate does not confirm acceptance within this period, the offer shall be deemed automatically withdrawn (pursuant to § 146 BGB — lapse of offer).

Until the contract enters into force, neither party shall have any contractual obligations towards the other.

Lumawelt affiliates are independent partners who appear on the Lumawelt platform with individual profiles and their own pricing, determined based on each affiliate's notoriety, audience, and content type. Affiliates are available to any seller on the platform, regardless of their subscription plan.

Payment flow:

1. The seller selects the desired affiliate and pays Lumawelt for their services
2. Lumawelt verifies the payment and transfers the amount to the affiliate as soon as possible, but no later than 5 working days from payment confirmation (pursuant to § 271 BGB — due date of payment obligations)
3. The affiliate confirms receipt of payment and begins activity according to the agreed package

The activity package of each affiliate is defined individually (number of posts, stories, videos, campaign duration, etc.) and is clearly communicated to the seller before payment is made. Once payment is confirmed, the package becomes binding for the affiliate (pursuant to § 631 BGB — contract for services).

The seller's objectives and wishes must be communicated in writing to Lumawelt before the collaboration begins. Lumawelt forwards them to the affiliate and ensures they are understood and assumed. Changes requested after the campaign has started are not guaranteed and depend on the affiliate's availability.

Content approval is the exclusive responsibility of Lumawelt, which decides whether the materials created by the affiliate are appropriate, compliant with the brand guidelines, and aligned with the seller's objectives, prior to publication. The affiliate is obligated to submit content for Lumawelt's approval at least 3 working days before publication.

Exposure guarantee — not sales: Lumawelt and the affiliate do not guarantee sales as a result of the collaboration. The collaboration provides exposure of the seller's products to the affiliate's audience. The seller expressly accepts this by signing the contract (pursuant to § 631 BGB — obligation of means, not of result).

Views target: Each affiliate commits to reaching a minimum number of views per piece of content, established based on their historical audience performance and communicated to the seller before payment. If a published piece of content does not reach at least 30% of the agreed views target, the affiliate is obligated to create and publish a free bonus piece of content for the seller within 7 working days of identifying the underperformance (pursuant to § 635 BGB — remedy of non-conforming performance).

The affiliate commits to beginning activity within 5 working days of payment confirmation and to delivering all content from the agreed package within a period of maximum 30 calendar days, distributed consistently throughout the campaign duration.

Complaints procedure: If the seller is dissatisfied with the collaboration, they must contact Lumawelt in writing within 5 working days of the campaign's completion. Lumawelt will analyse the situation and endeavour to find the best solution for both parties (pursuant to § 126b BGB). Complaints submitted after this deadline cannot be considered.

Traffic without real orders — including artificially generated visits, fake clicks, or any form of tracking data manipulation — is not eligible, constitutes fraud, and exposes the affiliate to criminal liability (pursuant to § 263 StGB).Lumawelt reserves the right to withhold payments and terminate the contract immediately in such cases.

The price of each affiliate is set individually and displayed transparently on their profile on the Lumawelt platform. Prices may vary depending on the type of content, the affiliate's audience, and the complexity of the agreed package. All payments are made in EUR (Euro).Lumawelt assumes no liability for exchange rate differences.

Financial flow:

• The seller pays the full amount to Lumawelt before the collaboration begins
• Lumawelt retains an intermediation commission and transfers the net amount to the affiliate within 5 working days of payment confirmation (pursuant to § 271 BGB — due date of payment obligations)
• The affiliate receives the payment and confirms in writing the commencement of activity

Payment delays on the part of Lumawelt shall incur statutory late payment interest (pursuant to § 288 BGB — 9 percentage points above the base interest rate for commercial transactions).

Invoicing: The affiliate is obligated to issue an invoice (Rechnung) to Lumawelt within 5 working days of payment confirmation. Delays in issuing the invoice may block payment processing. If the affiliate is registered for VAT purposes, they shall include VAT on the invoice in accordance with German tax law. Affiliates operating under the small business scheme (§ 19 UStG — Kleinunternehmerregelung) do not apply VAT and must explicitly state this on the invoice.

Refund policy:

• If the seller cancels the collaboration before payment is confirmed to the affiliate → 100% refund
• If the seller cancels after payment confirmation but before activity has begun → 50% refund
• If the affiliate has already begun activity → no refund, except in cases of proven non-delivery (pursuant to § 628 BGB — right to proportional remuneration)
• If the affiliate fails to deliver the agreed package → proportional refund for undelivered services (pursuant to § 634 BGB)

All payments are made exclusively via bank transfer or Lumawelt-approved payment methods. Cash payments are not accepted.

Lumawelt affiliates are not tied to any specific plan and are available to any seller on the platform, regardless of their subscription.

Each affiliate signs a single contract with Lumawelt upon joining the program. This contract governs the entire relationship between the affiliate and the platform. For each collaboration with a seller, no separate contract is signed — the collaboration takes place under the existing contract with Bliyt.

Each affiliate appears on the platform with an updated availability status:

• ✅ Available — accepting new collaborations
• ⏳ Busy — not currently accepting new collaborations
• ❌ Unavailable — not accepting collaborations for a set period

The affiliate has the right to refuse any collaboration before payment confirmation, without any obligation to provide a reason (pursuant to § 145 BGB — freedom of contract). Payment is made exclusively after the affiliate's express confirmation that they accept the collaboration. Once payment has been confirmed and transferred, the affiliate may no longer refuse to deliver the agreed services.

Lumawelt reserves the right to suspend or remove an affiliate from the platform in the event of non-compliance with contractual obligations, with prior notice (pursuant to § 314 BGB — extraordinary termination).

By signing the contract with Lumawelt, the affiliate commits to complying with the following obligations throughout the duration of the collaboration:

📊 Performance reporting:

🤝 Relationship with sellers and Lumawelt:

• To promote products honestly and transparently to their audience, without false promises or exaggerations

• Not to modify, distort, or misuse the visual materials of the seller or Lumawelt (pursuant to § 14 MarkenG)

• Not to generate artificial traffic — bots, fake clicks, visits without genuine purchase intent — as these constitute fraud and carry criminal liability (pursuant to § 263 StGB)
• To keep published content active throughout the agreed campaign duration and not to delete it without Lumawelt's consent
• To maintain social media accounts active and functional throughout the collaboration. Deactivating or deleting accounts during the campaign without notifying Lumawelt constitutes a contractual breach (pursuant to § 280 BGB)

The following actions are strictly prohibited and shall be sanctioned in accordance with applicable German law:

⚡ Fraudulent conduct:

• Any form of manipulation of tracking data, statistics, or performance reports submitted to Lumawelt

🤝 Platform bypass:

Lumawelt reserves the right to report any fraudulent activity to the competent German authorities.

The affiliate commits to never defaming, discrediting, or causing reputational harm to Lumawelt, its sellers, or any associated parties — whether during the collaboration or after its termination — on any communication channel, including but not limited to social media, public forums, press, or private communications that may become public.

This obligation is permanent and survives the termination of the contract for an indefinite period (pursuant to § 241 BGB — ancillary contractual obligations).

Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to:

• Publishing false or misleading statements about Lumawelt or its sellers
• Sharing confidential information or internal communications publicly
• Engaging in coordinated negative campaigns against Lumawelt or its sellers

• Additional liability for intentional harm contrary to public policy (pursuant to § 826 BGB)
• The right of Lumawelt to seek injunctive relief before competent German courts to prevent further harm

📸 Intellectual property rights:

Content created by the affiliate during the collaboration remains the exclusive property of the affiliate. For the duration of the affiliate's active status on the Lumawelt platform, the affiliate grants Lumawelt and the sellers they collaborate with a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use the created materials organically — social media posts, website presentation — without the right to use them in paid advertisements without the affiliate's prior written consent.

Upon the affiliate ceasing their collaboration with Lumawelt — for any reason — this licence terminates automatically, and Lumawelt and sellers no longer have the right to use, redistribute, or publish the materials in question. Already published materials shall be removed within 14 calendar days of the termination of the collaboration (pursuant to § 31 UrhG — licence of copyright).

🌐 General online conduct:

The affiliate commits to maintaining professional and ethical online conduct in general. The affiliate's public behaviour on social media may affect the reputation of Lumawelt and the sellers they collaborate with. Lumawelt reserves the right to terminate the contract if the affiliate's public behaviour is incompatible with the platform's values (pursuant to § 314 BGB — extraordinary termination).

⚖️ Limitation of Lumawelt's liability:

Lumawelt's liability towards the affiliate is limited to the total value of commissions paid in the 6 months preceding the damaging event, except in cases of:

• Wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) (pursuant to § 276 BGB)
• Gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) (pursuant to § 276 BGB)
• Personal injury — for which liability remains unlimited under German law

Lumawelt assumes no liability for indirect damages, loss of profit, or reputational harm suffered by the affiliate as a result of third-party actions outside Lumawelt's control (pursuant to § 254 BGB — contributory negligence).

The affiliate commits to maintaining complete confidentiality regarding the terms of this agreement, the negotiated financial conditions, information about sellers, and any internal data of the Lumawelt platform accessed during the collaboration.

Confidential information includes, but is not limited to:

• The financial terms and conditions of the contract
• Contact details and information about Lumawelt sellers
• Lumawelt's commercial and marketing strategies
• Technical information about the platform's operation
• Any internal communications received from Lumawelt

Disclosure of confidential information to third parties is strictly prohibited and constitutes grounds for immediate termination of the contract without entitlement to compensation (pursuant to § 314 BGB — extraordinary termination). Lumawelt reserves the right to claim full damages for any losses caused by unauthorised disclosure (pursuant to § 280 BGB — contractual liability).

This confidentiality obligation is permanent and survives the termination of the contract for a period of 5 years from the date the collaboration ends (pursuant to § 203 StGB — disclosure of professional secrets).

An exception applies where disclosure is required by legal obligation or court order, in which case the affiliate is obligated to notify Lumawelt within 48 hours prior to disclosure, where permitted by law.

The non-competition clause applies exclusively from the date of signing the contract with Lumawelt and does not affect in any way the collaborations, contracts, or partnerships the affiliate had entered into prior to signing this agreement.

From the date of signing the contract, and for a period of 12 months after the termination of the collaboration — regardless of the reason for termination — the affiliate commits to not engaging in activities of a competitive nature towards Lumawelt, including but not limited to:

• Creating or participating in a similar platform that intermediates collaborations between sellers and affiliates/influencers
• Actively recruiting Lumawelt sellers for the purpose of collaborating on competing platforms
• Actively recruiting Lumawelt affiliates for the purpose of building a competing network
• Offering affiliate-seller intermediation services independently or through third parties

This clause is limited geographically to the territory of the European Union and is proportionate to Lumawelt's legitimate interests in protecting its commercial network (pursuant to § 74 HGB and § 138 BGB — proportionality of obligations).

Violation of this clause entitles Lumawelt to full damages and legal action for the immediate cessation of the competitive activity (pursuant to § 280 BGB).

This agreement enters into force on the date of signing and is valid for an indefinite period, automatically renewing the collaboration terms for as long as the affiliate remains active on the Lumawelt platform.

📋 Termination with notice:

Either party may terminate this agreement by written notice submitted at least 30 calendar days before the desired termination date. Notice must be sent exclusively by e-mail to the official Lumawelt address or by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

Lumawelt has the right to use content provided by the affiliate — images, video materials, testimonials — exclusively for the purpose of promoting the collaboration on marketing platforms (Facebook, TikTok, Google, Instagram, etc.), without additional costs, and solely for the duration of the active collaboration.
