Terms for advisors

This is a translation for convenience. The German version is legally binding.

§ 1 Scope and provider

These terms apply to listings of advisors, firms and advisory companies (“advisors”) in the KalerOne directory. The provider is K&A Corporate Group LLC, Große Gallusstraße 14, 60315 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The offer is directed exclusively at businesses and members of the liberal professions. Deviating terms of the advisor apply only if we agree to them in text form.

§ 2 Services

We publish the advisor's profile in German and English to the extent booked, show it in the selected categories and forward enquiries received via the profile to the advisor. We do not owe any particular volume of enquiries or matters. KalerOne does not itself provide legal, tax, financial or insurance advice.

§ 3 Admission and verification

Activation requires the evidence prescribed for the profession (in particular admission or appointment, register entry, professional indemnity insurance) and a portrait photo or logo. The advisor must notify changes without delay, in particular loss of admission or insurance. We may decline a listing without giving reasons as long as no contract exists.

§ 4 Content and rights

The advisor is responsible for the accuracy of their details and for compliance with professional rules. Misleading statements, promises of success or pricing and titles such as “specialist” without the corresponding qualification are not permitted. The advisor grants us a simple right, limited to the term, to use texts, photos and logos for the profile and the presentation of the network, and warrants that they are entitled to do so. The advisor receives the profile for approval before publication.

§ 5 Remuneration

Remuneration is a fixed flat fee per package and term as individually agreed. It is independent of the number of enquiries and of whether or at what value matters are concluded. We receive no commission, no share of fees and no other remuneration for referring individual matters, and we never allocate enquiries for money (Section 49b(3) BRAO, Section 9(2) StBerG, Section 55(2) WPO).

§ 6 Order of presentation

The order is determined by the package booked (Partner before Profile Plus before Basic), within a package by the type of profile (firm before individual profile) and then by name. Higher packages are paid placements and are labelled as such. There are no further parameters. The current description is published on the “Transparency” page (Art. 5 P2B Regulation).

§ 7 Term, termination, restriction

The term is set out in the agreement. We terminate a listing with at least 30 days' notice and state the reasons in advance in text form. If we restrict or suspend a listing, we state the reasons at the latest when the measure takes effect. This does not apply where we are legally obliged to act immediately or the advisor repeatedly breaches these terms (Art. 4 P2B Regulation). The advisor may have the matter clarified through the internal complaints procedure.

§ 8 Content moderation

We review notices concerning profiles (Art. 16 DSA) and information received via the complaints portal. Possible measures are a notice to the advisor, correction or hiding of individual details, temporary suspension or removal of the profile. Decisions are taken by a human; we do not use automated decision-making. Affected advisors receive a statement of reasons (Art. 17 DSA) and may object via info@kaler-law.com.

§ 9 Complaints by advisors

Advisors should send complaints about their listing, its presentation or any measures to info@kaler-law.com. We review them promptly and communicate the outcome in text form.

§ 10 Changes to these terms

We announce changes in text form at least 15 days before they take effect. The advisor may terminate the contract without notice until the changes take effect (Art. 3 P2B Regulation).

§ 11 Data protection

We process enquiries received via the profile in accordance with our privacy policy and forward them to the advisor. From receipt, the advisor is responsible for processing client and prospect data.

§ 12 Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body or health. In cases of slight negligence we are only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations, limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. We do not guarantee the permanent availability of the website.

§ 13 Final provisions

German law applies. The place of jurisdiction for merchants and legal entities is Frankfurt am Main. Should any provision be invalid, the remainder of the contract remains effective.
