Terms of Service
- Purpose of the Service
The candidate commissions the employment intermediary to act as an intermediary with the aim of obtaining a job in Germany under the following terms. - Services Provided by the Employment Intermediary
2.1. The employment intermediary provides job placement services in accordance with its current General Terms and Conditions (AGB). This service is provided without any obligation to achieve a successful job placement.
2.2. To facilitate integration, the employment intermediary may assist the candidate in finding suitable accommodation and inform them about the applicable procedures for applying for the necessary documentation. The documents sent to the candidate for this purpose are the property of the intermediary and may not be copied or shared with third parties without the intermediary’s permission. The candidate shall not have any claim to receive such documentation or to have it contain specific content or be of particular utility.
2.3. The employment intermediary accepts no responsibility for working conditions, the tasks to be performed in the job offered, or the duration and/or validity of any employment contract that may eventually be signed. The intermediary has no influence on these aspects and cannot be held liable.
2.4. The employment intermediary does not cover any costs that the candidate may incur in order to attend job interviews or start employment, such as travel, flights, meals, or accommodation. These expenses are the candidate’s responsibility. The intermediary is also not responsible for advising on or arranging transportation options.
2.5. The intermediary does not assume any responsibility for the condition of accommodations provided directly by the employer or found through the intermediary’s assistance. - Use of Provided Information and Ban on Direct Contact
The candidate will receive job offers and contact details of client companies exclusively for participation in recruitment processes managed by the intermediary. The candidate is expressly prohibited from using this information to establish direct contact with the companies, initiate recruitment processes independently of the intermediary, or pass this information to third parties.
Violation of this clause will result in the candidate being obligated to compensate the intermediary with an amount of €5,000 plus VAT for each person involved in the recruitment process, including the candidate if they were directly involved. - Candidate Obligations
4.1. The job placement service is free of charge for the candidate.
4.2. Acceptance of the placement service does not obligate the candidate to accept any job offer. Clauses 4.5 and 4.6 apply only once the employment contract with the employer is signed.
4.3. Generally, the placement service follows the submission of a written application. Along with this documentation, the candidate must submit an application form outlining their qualifications and skills.
4.4. The candidate agrees to submit all necessary documents and certificates relevant to the placement service and confirms that all provided information is truthful and complete.
4.5. If the candidate fails to appear on the first working day, they must compensate the intermediary for damages in the amount of €500 plus VAT, without prejudice to any claims for compensation that may be made by the employer. The candidate has the right to prove that no damage occurred or that the damage is less than the specified compensation.
4.6. If the employment relationship facilitated by the intermediary is terminated within the first six months, the candidate must notify the intermediary within five working days and send a copy of the termination letter and, if applicable, the acknowledgment of receipt. If the candidate fails to comply with this notification obligation, a contractual penalty of €100 plus VAT will apply. However, the candidate may prove that no damage occurred or that the damage is less than the specified penalty. - Confidentiality / Documentation
Both parties agree to maintain confidentiality and not to share any documents or information concerning the other party or an employer obtained through the placement service with third parties. This confidentiality obligation remains in effect after termination of the contract. - Termination of the Placement Contract
The placement service contract may be terminated in writing by either party with one month’s notice. - Data Protection
The employment intermediary will store, process, and share the candidate’s personal data with third parties when necessary or advisable to provide the job placement service. The candidate hereby gives their consent for this.
The candidate authorizes the intermediary to record and store personal and placement-relevant data in its electronic database and to share such data with cooperating partners when necessary to provide the agreed service. Otherwise, the current data protection laws shall apply.
The candidate also agrees that some of their personal data necessary for the placement service may be published anonymously (without name or address) in media such as the internet.
The intermediary agrees to protect the candidate’s documents provided for fulfilling the contract from third-party access and to return them immediately upon request.
The intermediary collects, processes, and uses the data only as needed to provide the placement service. The candidate consents to the collection, use, and processing of their personal data for this purpose. This data will only be shared with third parties when necessary for the execution of the contract. Personal data will be deleted no later than three years after the completion of the placement service.
The data protection provisions of the intermediary provided to the candidate along with this contract also apply. - General Terms and Conditions (AGB)
In addition to the above, the intermediary’s General Terms and Conditions (AGB) also apply. By accepting the terms of service, the candidate accepts the AGB. - Severability Clause
No oral agreements have been made. Any changes or amendments to these terms must be made in writing. Waiver of the written form must also be made in writing.
Should any provision of these terms be or become wholly or partially invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The parties agree to replace the invalid provision with a valid one that most closely reflects the economic intent of the invalid provision. The same applies to any gaps in the contract.
