Terms & Conditions

1. Scope and Provider

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the contractual relationship between Kingside, owner Monir Ramadan, Hubertusstraße 245, 47798 Krefeld, Germany ("we", "us", "Provider"), operating the platform Chess Masterclass Pro, and you as the customer ("you", "Customer") for all digital products purchased through our website.

1.2 These Terms apply in the version valid at the time of the order. Deviating, conflicting or supplementary terms of the Customer shall not become part of the contract unless we have expressly agreed to them in writing.

1.3 A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession. An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person acting in the exercise of their trade, business or profession.

2. Subject Matter of the Contract

2.1 We sell digital products, in particular online courses, video masterclasses, interactive lessons and downloadable learning materials in the field of chess training ("Content").

2.2 The Content is provided exclusively in digital form. No physical goods are delivered. The specific scope, features and access duration of each product result from the respective product description at the time of purchase.

3. Customer Account and Access

3.1 Access to the Content may require the creation of a customer account. You are obliged to provide accurate information and to keep your login credentials confidential.

3.2 Access is personal. You may not share, transfer or otherwise make your account or access credentials available to third parties (see Section 8).

4. Formation of the Contract

4.1 The presentation of products on our website does not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to place an order (invitatio ad offerendum).

4.2 By completing the checkout process and clicking the order button (e.g. "Buy now" / "Subscribe"), you submit a binding offer to purchase the selected product.

4.3 The contract is concluded when we confirm your order or grant you access to the purchased Content, whichever occurs first. We will send an order confirmation by email.

5. Prices and Payment

5.1 All prices are stated as total prices in the currency shown at checkout. As a small business owner pursuant to § 19 UStG, we do not charge or show German value-added tax (VAT). Where the sale is processed by Lemon Squeezy as Merchant of Record (see 5.2), any sales tax/VAT shown to you is determined, collected and remitted by Lemon Squeezy depending on your location.

5.2 The sale and payment are processed via Lemon Squeezy, LLC, which acts as Merchant of Record. Lemon Squeezy is therefore the reseller and your contractual partner for the purchase itself and handles the order, payment, invoicing and the remittance of any applicable taxes; the Content is created and provided by Kingside. The buyer terms and privacy notice of Lemon Squeezy apply additionally to the purchase (buyer terms, privacy). Your payment data is processed by Lemon Squeezy and not stored by us.

5.3 Payment is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. For recurring (subscription) products, the fee is charged in advance for each billing period until the subscription is cancelled.

6. Provision of the Digital Content

6.1 Unless otherwise stated in the product description, the Content is made available immediately after the contract is concluded and payment is received, by unlocking it in your account or by providing an access link.

6.2 For subscription products, access remains available for the duration of the active subscription. The Content is streamed online; a permanent right to download is only granted where this is expressly offered.

7. Subscriptions, Term and Termination

7.1 Where the Content is offered on a subscription basis, the subscription runs for the billing period selected at checkout and renews automatically for further periods of the same length unless cancelled.

7.2 You may cancel the subscription at any time with effect from the end of the current billing period, via your account or by contacting us at chessmasterclasspro@gmail.com. Already paid fees for the running period are not refunded, without prejudice to your statutory rights.

7.3 The right of both parties to terminate for good cause remains unaffected.

8. Grant of Rights / Licence to Use the Content

8.1 Upon full payment, we grant you a simple (non-exclusive), non-transferable and personal right to access and view the Content for your own private, non-commercial learning purposes for the agreed duration.

8.2 You are not permitted to:

• copy, download (unless expressly offered), record, screen-capture or otherwise reproduce the Content;
• distribute, sub-license, rent, sell or publicly display the Content;
• share, disclose or transfer your login credentials or grant third parties access to your account;
• remove copyright notices, or edit, modify or create derivative works from the Content;
• use the Content for any commercial purpose, including teaching or training third parties.

8.3 All intellectual property rights in the Content (including videos, texts, graphics and software) remain with the Provider or its licensors. A breach of this Section entitles us to revoke access with immediate effect and to claim damages.

9. Right of Withdrawal for Consumers

Consumers are entitled to a statutory right of withdrawal as set out below.

Withdrawal Policy

Right of withdrawal. You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Kingside, Monir Ramadan, Hubertusstraße 245, 47798 Krefeld, Germany, email: chessmasterclasspro@gmail.com) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an email). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but this is not obligatory. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your notice of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Consequences of withdrawal. If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day on which we received notification of your withdrawal. We will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise; in no event will you be charged any fees for this reimbursement.

Early Expiry of the Right of Withdrawal (Digital Content)

For contracts on the supply of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium, your right of withdrawal expires in accordance with § 356 (5) of the German Civil Code (BGB) if we have begun to perform the contract after you have:

• expressly consented to us beginning performance before the end of the withdrawal period; and
• confirmed your awareness that, by giving this consent, you lose your right of withdrawal upon the start of performance.

By purchasing and obtaining immediate access to the Content, you provide this express consent and confirm the corresponding acknowledgement at checkout.

10. Warranty and Liability

10.1 The statutory warranty rights apply. We are liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health, and for damages caused by intent or gross negligence.

10.2 In the case of slight negligence, we are only liable for the breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the Customer regularly relies). In this case, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

10.3 Any further liability is excluded. Liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) remains unaffected.

11. Data Protection

We process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and our Privacy Policy.

12. Final Provisions

12.1 These Terms and the entire legal relationship between the parties are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of their country of habitual residence.

12.2 If the Customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is our registered place of business.

12.3 Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
