Terms and Conditions of sky-optic.com

The contracting entity – that means the contracting partner of the sender of an advertisement must be clearly recognizable. Every sent email shall contain an easily noticeable ‘about us’; either in the text or through a direct link. It must be complete to the extent permitted by applicable law. The ‘about us’ section shall contain the following information:

• Name and address of the sender, for legal entities in addition to name and address the legal form of the entity, authorized representative and the Commercial Registry, Association Registry, Partnership Registry or Cooperative Society Registry they are registered with, as well the appropriate registration number.
• Contact information, at least a valid telephone number or an electronic contact form, as well as email address.
• If there is a value added tax identification number according to section 27a of the value added tax act or a business identification number according to section 139c of the tax code, this number shall be provided. Further reaching information obligations, for example according to section 5, paragraph 1 of the Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz –TMG) remain untouched.
• Each email must contain an option to withdraw permission to send any further emails. Cancellation must be possible for the recipient, without having to know access data (such as login/password). Exceptions may be admissible in single cases as special cases occur in the administration of the offering party. Cancellations must be processed promptly.
• Neither the sender nor the commercial character of the message may be obscured or concealed in the header or the subject header of the email. Obscuring or concealing is taking place when the header and subject header are composed in such a way that the recipient cannot get any or can get only misleading information about the actual identity of the sender or the commercial nature of the message before the message is opened and read.
• The sender must remove email addresses from the mailing list after three hard bounces.
• The customer has to name a contact (name/phone number/e-mail address) for complaints. Response time for complaints must not exceed 24 hours on business days.
• When using email addresses that the sender or his/her customers received from third parties, the sender or his/her customer is obligated to make sure before the advertisement action is taken that only recipients who have given their consent according to these criteria are emailed; a consent that not only refers to mailings sent by a third party but also by the sender himself or the sender’s customer.
• The retrieval of address data for third parties (such as through co-sponsoring) should be transparent to the user. More so, address data retrieved in such a way should only be used for a mailing if:
  a) the companies for which the address data is generated were named individually, transparently, and categorized by industry;
  b) users were able to easily access the list of companies;
  c) the number of companies or persons for whom the address data was collected is reduced in a way that excludes the forwarding of user data to an unreasonably large circle of third parties and that allows the user to easily comprehend the consequences and the extent of his consent as well to easily control the legal handling of his data.
  a) the companies for which the address data is generated were named individually, transparently, and categorized by industry;

For clarification purposes we would like to point out that the companies for which the address data is generated may not forward this address data to third parties without a special consent from the user to do so.
