Terms of Service

1. Scope and provider

These terms govern the use of the software-as-a-service platform anilead.io (the “Platform”) operated by mysoftwarelab GmbH, Am See 22, 67547 Worms, Germany (the “Provider”).

The offering is directed exclusively at businesses within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), legal entities under public law and special funds under public law. Contracts with consumers are excluded. By registering, the user confirms that they are acting in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

2. Subject of the contract

The Platform enables research of business data from publicly accessible sources (Google Places API, public company websites), its AI-assisted scoring and export to third-party systems (e.g. CSV, HubSpot). The Provider owes the provision of the Platform as such. The Provider does not owe any specific business outcome, any particular quantity or quality of leads, or the accuracy, completeness or currency of data originating from public sources.

3. Registration and account

Use of the Platform requires registration. The user must provide truthful information, keep access credentials confidential and inform the Provider without undue delay if there are indications of account misuse. Actions taken through the account are attributed to the user to the extent the user is responsible for them.

4. Prices, payment and credits

The prices shown on the Platform at the time of ordering apply. Paid plans are billed monthly in advance via the payment provider Stripe and renew automatically for one month at a time unless cancelled effective at the end of the billing period. Lead credits apply to the respective billing month, are reset monthly and do not carry over. Where the user connects their own API keys (e.g. Google Places API), separate charges by the respective third-party provider may apply and are borne by the user.

5. User obligations; permitted use

The user is solely responsible for the use of the data researched via the Platform and acts at their own risk in this respect. In particular, the user shall:

• use the data only in compliance with applicable law, in particular the GDPR (including Art. 6, 14, 21) and unfair competition law (in Germany in particular Section 7 UWG: no advertising emails without prior express consent; advertising calls to businesses only where at least presumed consent exists);
• as an independent data controller for their own processing, ensure their own legal basis, fulfil information obligations and implement objections by data subjects without undue delay;
• not resell, rent out or systematically make the data available to third parties outside their own organisation as a standalone database;
• not circumvent technical limitations of the Platform (e.g. credit and volume limits) and comply with the terms of connected third-party services (e.g. Google Places API).

Guidance on the legal framework of lead research and the obligations when contacting leads is provided on the page Legal notice on lead generation. In the event of serious or repeated violations, the Provider may temporarily suspend the account or terminate the contract for cause.

6. Indemnification

The user shall indemnify the Provider against all third-party claims (including cease-and-desist claims, regulatory measures and reasonable costs of legal defence) based on the user’s unlawful use of the Platform or of the researched data, in particular violations of the GDPR or Section 7 UWG when contacting leads. This does not apply to the extent the user is not responsible for the violation.

7. Data protection and roles

Information on the processing of personal data is provided in the privacy policy. The Provider is the controller for the collection and provision of lead data within the Platform; the user is an independent controller for the use of the data (export, CRM transfer, outreach). Where the Provider processes personal data on behalf of the user (e.g. data contributed by the user), the parties will conclude a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR upon request.

8. Availability

The Provider strives for high availability of the Platform but does not owe uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, further development and disruptions at third-party providers (e.g. Google, hosting and payment providers) may lead to temporary limitations.

9. Liability

The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act, and to the extent of any guarantee assumed.

In cases of simple negligence, the Provider is liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the user may regularly rely), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability is excluded.

In particular, the Provider is not liable for damages, cease-and-desist claims or fines arising from the user’s use of the researched data; in this respect, the user acts on their own responsibility (see Sections 5 and 6).

10. Term and termination

The contract runs for an indefinite period. Paid plans can be cancelled at any time effective at the end of the current billing month (self-service in the settings or by email). The right to terminate for cause remains unaffected. After the end of the contract, account data is deleted in accordance with the privacy policy.

11. Changes to these terms

The Provider may amend these terms with effect for the future to the extent reasonable for the user. Changes will be announced in text form at least four weeks before they take effect. If the user does not object within the announcement period or continues to use the Platform after the changes take effect, the amended terms are deemed accepted; the announcement will point out this consequence separately.

12. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. To the extent legally permissible, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with this contract is the registered office of the Provider. Should individual provisions of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The German version of these terms prevails.
