§ 4 The legal relationship

  1. No employment, service or corporate relationship of any kind whatsoever (in particular no club membership) is established between the operator and the member. Participation in mycashbacks takes place exclusively within the framework of a self-responsible, independent activity that is legally independent of the operator.

  4. Please note that the exact amount Cash Back may be subject to slight currency differences because we may receive the amounts in different currencies from the partners.

§ 6 Conditions for the payment of the Cash Back

  1. in most cases the operator uses the affiliate programs of the partner companies with an affiliate link to receive commissions for the mediated sales. In this case, a one-to-one link is generated, which proves to the partner company that the member has visited the partner company via mycashbacks and/or has made a purchase there.

  2. it is absolutely necessary that the member is logged in on mycashbacks before visiting the partner company and only uses the link provided for the partner company on mycashbacks to visit the partner company's website and then makes a direct purchase there. No other pages may be called up that could interfere with the tracking process.

  3. as an alternative, the member can use the prepared browser extension, thanks to which after successful login, the available Cash Back program will be automatically detected and then assigned to the corresponding member. If the extension is not supported by the affiliate's website, the member is obliged to use the affiliate link.

  4. the claim for payment of this commission is due to the affiliate agreement with the partner company always and exclusively to the operator. Until it comes to a payout of the affiliate commission, several weeks - months can pass. The payment of the Cash Back to the member is subject to the following conditions:

    a. Final and uncontested payment of the commission to the operator;

    c. Expiry of any statutory or contractually agreed revocation period;

After the operator has been notified of a purchase made by the member, a provisional amount will be displayed in the member's account as "open" and later marked as "paid out". Up to 14 days may pass before the provisional amount is displayed under "open".

  2. payouts are made using the data deposited by the member himself. The operator assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of this data and is accordingly not liable if this data is incorrect.

Before this deletion the operator will inform the member about the upcoming deletion via the given email address. If the member does not object to the deletion within 14 days, the account will be deleted and any Cash Back amount on it will be collected. In this case, any purchase activity of the member will be considered as an objection to the deletion.

  6. the right to extraordinary termination for cause remains unaffected for both parties. An important reason for an extraordinary termination by the operator exists in particular but not exclusively, if:

    a. The member requests the deletion of his data;

    b. The member creates more than 1 user account under different names and/or e-mail addresses;

    c. The member misuses / manipulates the service of the operator;

    d. Revokes the consent to the privacy policy;

    e. The member violates these terms and conditions.

  7. in case of termination, the operator deactivates the username and user password and all data that the member has transmitted to the operator or the operator has transmitted to the member. For this purpose, the operator is obliged to delete the data, unless the operator still needs this data for billing or verification purposes or for other legal purposes.

§ 9 Liability of the operator

  6. the operator assumes no responsibility or liability for the content of websites to which direct or indirect references (links) from the offer of mycashbacks are directed.

The providers of the respective websites are responsible for the content.
