The conclusion of a free usage agreement by registering as a user has the exclusive purpose of using Linguedo’s free service. For this reason, there is no right to withdrawal for the consumer. Nonetheless, the user may withdraw from the usage agreement at any time without giving a reason by deleting their user profile.
The user may delete their user profile at any time. In the event of permanent deletion of a user profile by the user, all profile data and content generated by the user, their personal data as well as the data which may have originated from its creation, use and upkeep will be deleted permanently and irrevocably after one month.

(2) Linguedo may withdraw from the usage agreement as standard with 14 days’ notice before the end of the month. Standard withdrawal by Linguedo is not allowed for the entire duration of the Language courses booked by the user. This does not affect the right to withdraw, block or delete a user profile in extraordinary circumstances.
(3) Standard withdrawal must be in writing. Extraordinary withdrawal, without warning, by Linguedo does not require anything in writing, even the deletion of a user profile is sufficient.
(4) Extraordinary withdrawal, without warning, requires a valid reason. Such a reason exists, in particular, at the moment the user improperly uses the Platform or the services and the functions including the offers or if they violate their obligations set out in Art. 8 of these Terms of usage, including the behavioural rules. In this regard, in addition, legal options for extraordinary withdrawal without warning apply.
(5) The blocking, deletion or withdrawal without warning of the user profile does not affect the validity of the contracts previously concluded with third parties (e.g. with reseller) on the Platform, in particular, those relating to the purchase of Language courses and the obligations of the user deriving from them to the reseller.
(6) Withdrawal by the user does not release them from any obligations with third parties (e.g. reseller), for example, the payment of any compensation or costs for the suspended course.
(7) If Linguedo has withdrawn from the contract without warning, the affected user may not use Linguedo services, including under a different name or by using another user account and may not register again as a user.
(8) In the event of withdrawing from the usage agreement, from the moment the withdrawal becomes effective, the user shall lose access to their user profile and all the services and functions of the Platform, including booked Language courses. Furthermore, all the profile data and content generated by the user, their personal data as well as any products and anything stored when creating or using the profile will be permanently deleted irrevocably one month after the withdrawal becomes effective, unless Linguedo saves them as allowed for other reasons or purposes, for example, in order to comply with any storage obligations or based upon a legitimate interest (more details can be found in the Privacy policy.).
(1) Responsibility of the user
(a) In the event that the user violates their obligations, the user is obligated to compensate Linguedo for any damages caused. In this context, users may be held by Linguedo to the full extent of the law.
(b) Should the user have wilfully violated the rights of third parties on the Platform, the user shall exempt Linguedo from any claims made by third parties about the Platform in such contexts.
(c) In particular, the users are obligated to exempt Linguedo from any claims made by third parties in relation to (possible) violations of their obligations by the user as per Art. 8 of these Terms of usage with regard to Platform, including legal costs which may occur through such behaviour.
(2) Responsibility of the Platform and limitations of responsibility
(a) In accordance with legal provisions, Linguedo is responsible only for wilful misconduct and gross negligence. In the event that Linguedo’s responsibility is excluded or limited, such an exclusion or limitation applies to any responsibility of its legal representative, partners or employees.
(b) The limitations of responsibility do not apply in the event of violations to the right of life, limb and health as well as in the event of fundamental violations of a contractual obligation.
(1) German law is applicable.
(2) If singular provisions in these Terms of usage are not valid, or become invalid in the future, in whole or in part, then the other provisions shall remain valid.
(3) The purchase of paid services (e.g. Language course) by the user takes place via an external supplier (“reseller”). The user’s contractual partner is the relative supplier (“reseller”). The purchase of paid services (e.g. Language course) is not part of these Terms of Usage.

We use IP addresses and other information provided by the user (in particular, the postcode entered during registration or an order process) for geotargeting purposes.
Remarketing communication is used, for example, to allow users to see local offers and adverts which are more relevant to them.

F) of the GDPR, which is based upon our interests in using precise geotargeting communication and, therefore, supplying offers and adverts which are more relevant to the user.
In this context, some of the IP addresses, as well as additional information supplied by the user (in particular, the postcode), are only extracted and are not stored separately.
You can avoid the use of geotargeting by using a VPN or proxy server, which prevents your precise location from being used.

The key is used to prove authorisation and as an option through which the authorisation stored on the end user’s browser can be verified and has not been changed since original consent was given via Cybot.
If the function “Multiple Authorisations” is active, you can authorise consent to multiple websites with one authorisation, Cybot will then save a separate, unique, causal ID, with the end user’s consent. If all the following criteria are satisfied, this key will be stored in the end user’s browser as an encrypted cookie “CookieConsentBulkTicket”.
All data is hosted in an Azure data centre from the provider Cloud Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd, South County Business Park, One Microsoft Court, Carmanhall and Leopardstown, Dublin, D18 P521, Republic of Ireland.
