Huddlestock GmbH Terms and Conditions

1. Service Agreement Terms Specific to Regulated Industry Marketing

These Terms and Conditions ('Ts&Cs') govern the provision of digital marketing services by Huddlestock GmbH to clients operating within regulated sectors, including but not limited to financial services, pharmaceuticals, and legal practices. Our services, including AI-powered campaigns, omnichannel strategy, and data analytics, are tailored to comply with stringent industry-specific advertising guidelines and ethical considerations. All engagements are subject to a mutually agreed-upon Statement of Work ('SOW'), which will detail specific deliverables, timelines, and pricing.

2. Compliance Responsibilities and Regulatory Oversight

Huddlestock GmbH is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of regulatory compliance. As a BaFin-licensed (10121822) and FCA-registered (100222282) entity, we integrate compliance frameworks directly into our service delivery. Clients acknowledge their primary responsibility for the content and claims made in their marketing materials. Huddlestock GmbH acts as a service provider, offering expertise in navigating regulatory landscapes. We utilize automated and manual checks to identify potential non-compliance, but the final approval rests with the client's internal legal and compliance teams. Any breaches of regulatory guidelines by the client's disseminated content are solely the client's responsibility.

3. Data Protection and Privacy Aligned with BaFin/FCA Requirements

Data privacy is paramount. Huddlestock GmbH adheres strictly to GDPR, BaFin, and FCA data protection regulations. We implement robust technical and organizational measures to safeguard client data, campaign data, and user information processed during our services. This includes data anonymization, pseudonymization, secure data storage, and strict access controls. Our AI models are designed with privacy-by-design principles, ensuring that personal data is handled responsibly and legally. For detailed information on data processing, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

4. Intellectual Property Protection for AI and Proprietary Technologies

All intellectual property rights related to Huddlestock GmbH's proprietary AI models, algorithms, software, and methodologies used in providing services remain the exclusive property of Huddlestock GmbH. Clients are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the output generated by our services for their marketing purposes, as defined in the SOW. Custom content, creative assets, and campaign strategies developed specifically for a client will be transferred to the client upon full payment, excluding the underlying Huddlestock GmbH technology. Unauthorized reverse engineering, reproduction, or distribution of our proprietary technologies is strictly prohibited.

5. Dispute Resolution and Jurisdiction

In the event of any disputes arising from these Ts&Cs or the services provided, both parties agree to first enter into good faith negotiations to resolve the matter amicably. If a resolution cannot be reached within a reasonable timeframe, disputes shall be subject to mediation. Should mediation fail, the dispute will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Munich, Germany. These Ts&Cs shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The applicability of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
