HOBIDD GmbH
DR FRANZ-REINPRECHT-WEG 5
9020 KLAGENFURT AM WS
AUSTRIA
HOBIDD GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the “Operator”) operates the online platform HOBIDD.com (hereinafter “hobidd”).
These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) govern the conditions for posting, promoting, and billing of advertisements on the platform by commercial advertising partners. The services provided by HOBIDD GmbH on hobidd.com are offered exclusively under these GTC.
Services are provided solely under these GTC.
Deviating or supplementary contractual terms of the advertising partner shall not be recognized unless their validity has been expressly agreed in writing.
These GTC shall also apply, without separate express agreement, to all future legal transactions and business relationships between the Operator and the respective contractual partner.
Advertising partners provide the Operator with a defined budget (“Holiday Bonus”), which is linked to a travel offer as part of an advertisement. This Holiday Bonus is granted as a discount to interested parties (hereinafter “Participants”) only if the respective stay was previously publicly shared on Facebook and demonstrably booked via the platform.
The provided Holiday Bonus is used exclusively to reduce the sales price of a stay. Any other use, payout, or offsetting is excluded.
This is a performance-based advertising measure with community reach, not traditional advertising in the conventional sense.
To use the services of hobidd as an advertising partner, registration is required. This is done online and is linked to an activation code sent to the provider via SMS.
By entering their data on hobidd, the advertising partner expressly agrees that the company name, address, VAT number, telephone number, mobile phone number, email address, and URL may be stored and used by the Operator for the purposes set out in these GTC, and in particular displayed and published with the advertisements they post on hobidd.
User data provided during registration must be truthful and complete.
The budget (“Holiday Bonus”) provided by the advertising partner is used exclusively to grant discounts on stays in which the respective advertisement is system-integrated.
Any other use of the Holiday Bonus by the Operator is excluded. The Holiday Bonus is not used for general advertising measures or internal purposes.
If the Holiday Bonus is not used within 60 days of publication as part of a booking by a participant, the advertisement is automatically deactivated. In this case, the budget is used by the Operator to purchase vouchers for stays, which are raffled via the platform in prize draws.
There is no legal claim to the specific implementation of such measures or to a specific type of use. The timing and design of the related marketing actions are at the sole discretion of the Operator.
A refund of the provided budget is excluded in any case.
Advertisements are created directly by the Advertising Partner via the platform’s system.
All content must meet the Operator’s quality, legal, and thematic requirements. In particular, advertisements containing misleading information, political content, discriminatory statements, or violations of copyright, trademark, or competition rights are prohibited and will not be published.
Advertising content related to healing promises, gambling, alcohol, or sexual content is also excluded. The Operator expressly reserves the right to review advertisements before publication and to reject them in the event of violations or inconsistencies.
The Operator reserves the right to review and possibly reject advertisements prior to publication.
Once created by the advertising partner, the advertisement is reviewed by the Operator before publication. The review is conducted particularly with regard to legal admissibility, factual accuracy, and compliance with the requirements set out in Section 05 of these GTC.
If the advertisement meets the requirements, it will be approved and published. If there are content-related violations or formal deficiencies, it will not be approved. In such a case, the provided budget remains available and can be used by the advertising partner to create a new advertisement.
A refund of the budget is excluded. If no new advertisement is created within seven days of rejection by the Operator, the remaining budget will be used by the Operator to purchase stay vouchers to be distributed via the platform in prize draws. In this context, the advertising partner is identified as the sponsor.
Advertisements are integrated systemically in tiers based on the amount of Holiday Bonus provided by the advertising partner. To ensure an appropriate ratio between the budget and the total value of the stay, advertisements are only linked to offers where the amount of the Holiday Bonus is proportionate to the booking price.
Assignment is automated by the system and serves the relevance and efficiency of the advertising measure. Preferred or manual placement of individual advertisements by the advertising partner is excluded.
When defining the Holiday Bonus, it is displayed into which price categories of stays the advertisement will be integrated.
Active advertisements are embedded for a period of 24 hours into a randomly selected stay offer on the platform. During this time, the Holiday Bonus linked to the advertisement is visible and redeemable by platform visitors.
After the 24-hour period, the advertisement is automatically removed from the previously assigned stay offer and reassigned, based on the budget, to another randomly selected offer.
This reassignment continues until the provided Holiday Bonus is fully redeemed or the maximum duration according to Section 11 is reached.
A maximum of three advertisements may be active at the same time per registered advertising partner. Simultaneous display of additional advertisements is systemically excluded. Additional advertisements can only be created and published once existing active advertisements have ended or been deactivated.
Once an advertisement has been published, it can no longer be edited by the advertising partner. Changes to the text, images, or the amount of the Holiday Bonus cannot be made after approval.
The platform is available in multiple languages. Content and advertisements entered in German by the advertising partner are automatically translated into other languages available on the platform using machine translation services such as Google Translate or DeepL.
The Operator does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or content correctness of automatically generated translations. Liability for resulting misunderstandings, incorrect representations, or economic disadvantages is excluded.
In case of doubt, only the original German version of the content and these General Terms and Conditions shall be legally binding.
The Holiday Bonus can only be redeemed if the respective stay was publicly shared on Facebook by a participant. By sharing the offer, the regular sales price of the stay is automatically reduced by the amount of the Holiday Bonus stated in the advertisement.
A single advertisement may be shared by multiple participants on Facebook simultaneously. However, the Holiday Bonus is granted only to the participant who completes the booking first via the platform.
The Holiday Bonus provided by the Advertising Partner is valid for a maximum of 60 calendar days from the time of publication of the respective advertisement. Early deactivation occurs as soon as the Holiday Bonus has been successfully redeemed as part of a booking. In such case, the advertising service is deemed fully rendered, the budget consumed, and the advertisement is deactivated by the system.
If the Holiday Bonus is not redeemed within the validity period, the advertisement is also automatically deactivated.
Unused Holiday Bonus funds will be used to acquire stay vouchers to be raffled via the platform in prize draws. There is no legal claim to the specific execution or form of such actions. The timing and nature of the marketing actions are at the sole discretion of the Operator.
The Advertising Partner is publicly named as the sponsor. Refund of the provided budget is excluded in all cases.
The Operator reserves the right to internally archive published advertisements and related content even after their expiration. Archiving is for technical documentation, traceability, and quality assurance purposes only.
There is no entitlement to permanent storage, republication, or access by the Advertising Partner.
Advertisements can be deactivated independently by the Advertising Partner; however, reactivation is excluded. Once deactivated, the advertisement is permanently closed by the system and no longer visible to participants.
The originally provided Holiday Bonus is used by the Operator to purchase stay vouchers, which are distributed via prize draws. Refund of the budget is excluded.
Section 15 of these GTC applies accordingly.
Payment of the selected budget by the Advertising Partner takes place before the creation of the respective advertisement. The corresponding invoice is sent by email immediately after payment confirmation.
With payment of the budget, all services provided by the Operator in connection with publication and placement of the advertisement are deemed fully paid. No additional costs arise, especially no commissions, service fees, or ongoing charges.
The provided budget is used exclusively to grant discounts or purchase stay vouchers. A refund, even partial, is excluded.
The Advertising Partner is solely responsible for all content submitted, including text, images, and links. They confirm that they lawfully hold all necessary usage, copyright, and exploitation rights and that the publication does not violate third-party rights.
The Advertising Partner agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless the Operator from all third-party claims arising from any breach of these obligations.
The Advertising Partner is entitled to promote the advertisement, including the integrated Holiday Bonus, through their own channels. This includes, in particular, social media, email newsletters, company websites, or other marketing activities.
Modifications of the content are not permitted in the context of such self-promotion. Only the system-generated content may be used.
In the event of violations, the Operator is entitled to block the Advertising Partner without notice and deactivate all active advertisements. No refund of the budget will be granted in such cases.
The Advertising Partner is responsible for ensuring that all submitted content (text, images, links) is technically correct and properly displayed on the platform.
All content must be free of third-party rights and must not contain malware, defective code, or technical faults. The Operator assumes no responsibility for functionality issues caused by incomplete, incorrect, or unsuitable data from the Advertising Partner.
The duration of an advertisement is 60 calendar days from the time of publication. If the Holiday Bonus is not redeemed within this period, the advertisement is automatically deactivated.
A repeat placement using the same budget is not possible. Unused Holiday Bonus funds are used by the Operator to purchase stay vouchers for prize draws via the platform. The Advertising Partner is named as sponsor.
Upon expiration of the duration or full redemption of the Holiday Bonus, the advertising service is deemed fully performed. Refunds, even partial, are excluded.
In the case of concrete indications of a violation of these General Terms and Conditions or applicable law, the Operator is entitled to exclude the Advertising Partner from further use of the platform, in whole or in part, without prior notice.
This exclusion may include blocking access, deactivating advertisements, or deleting content. There is no entitlement to compensation or refund of the provided budget
Personal data of the Advertising Partner is processed by the Operator exclusively in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
There is no transfer to third parties unless required by law or explicitly approved by the Advertising Partner.
Further information on the handling of personal data can be found in the applicable privacy policy on the platform.
The Operator reserves the right to amend or supplement these General Terms and Conditions at any time for objective reasons. Changes will be communicated to the Advertising Partner in an appropriate form prior to taking effect.
Continued use of the platform after notification of changes shall be deemed acceptance of the updated version of these GTC. If the Advertising Partner does not object within 14 days of notification, the changes are deemed accepted
The Operator does not guarantee the actual use of the Holiday Bonus, the reach of the advertisement, the number of shares by participants, or the commercial success of the advertisement.
No uninterrupted availability of the platform is guaranteed. Operational interruptions, system failures, or temporary limitations may occur at any time, particularly for maintenance, security, or capacity reasons. No claims against the Operator arise from temporary unavailability.
The Advertising Partner is solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, completeness, and currency of the content they provide and publish. The Operator accepts no liability.
The Operator is not liable for direct or indirect damages, consequential damages, or lost profits in connection with the use or non-availability of the platform, unless caused by intent or gross negligence. Liability for slight negligence exists only in the case of personal injury.
The Advertising Partner agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Operator from all third-party claims in connection with the respective advertisement. This includes claims due to copyright violations, competition infringements, trademark infringements, or misleading advertising as well as any legal defense costs.
A right of withdrawal pursuant to § 1 of the Consumer Protection Act (KSchG) does not apply, as the offer is directed exclusively at entrepreneurs within the meaning of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB). Consumers within the meaning of the KSchG are excluded from use.
For all disputes in connection with these General Terms and Conditions, including questions of their formation, validity, or interpretation, the competent court at the registered office of the Operator in Klagenfurt, Austria, is agreed as the exclusive place of jurisdiction.
Austrian law applies exclusively, excluding the conflict of laws and the UN Sales Convention.
The contract language is German. In case of discrepancies between different language versions, only the German version shall be binding.
If individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions are or become wholly or partially invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by one that comes closest to the economic purpose of the original.
This shall also apply accordingly if these terms prove to be incomplete.
