These are concluded exclusively between individual users.

3.3The user is obliged to provide the data collected during registration truthfully and completely. In case of a change of the collected data after registration the User has to update his data in his user account immediately or – if this is not possible – to inform CollectAirs immediately about the changes. By submitting the registration form the User makes an offer to enter into a user agreement with CollectAirs, agrees to CollectAirs's General Terms of Use and assures that he is not excluded from using the Service according to section 3.2.
3.4CollectAirs reserves the right to refuse the User's registration without giving reasons.
3.5If CollectAirs accepts the registration, the User will receive a confirmation e-mail which also summarizes the User's most important data. Upon receipt of the confirmation e-mail the user agreement between CollectAirs and the User is concluded. In order to complete the registration, the User must reply to the confirmation e-mail in accordance with the instructions contained therein.
3.6When registering, the User may specify a user name and password (hereinafter referred to as "Access Data") within the scope of technical possibilities. User names whose use violates the rights of third parties, in particular rights to a name or trademark, or which are otherwise illegal or contrary to public morality, are not permitted. The user must keep the access data secret and protect it from access by unauthorized third parties. If the User has lost his access data or if he notices or suspects that his access data is being used by a third party, he has to inform CollectAirs immediately.
3.7 CollectAirs is entitled to block the user account immediately:
If false information was provided during registration
In case of loss or suspected misuse of the access data by a third party
If the user has violated the General Terms of Use of CollectAirs
Or if there is any other important reason
In case of blocking of the user account, the affected user is prohibited from re-registering with CollectAirs and from opening a new user account until CollectAirs has given its explicit prior consent.
4. Conclusion of brokerage contracts
4.1 The User can make a binding request and/or a non-binding request via the specified listings or a contact form / by email. With the confirmation of the request by CollectAirs a separate brokerage contract between CollectAirs and the respective user will be concluded, insofar as CollectAirs provides a brokerage service in the specific case. Payment is only possible by bank transfer, credit card, or PayPal – Cash payment is not possible! Within the framework of a reservation and/or paid service, the user undertakes to pay the corresponding invoice within a short period of time, at the latest, however, within a period of 7 days from the date of the invoice – otherwise CollectAirs is entitled to cancel the reservation again and to charge the user the corresponding cancellation fees (if applicable).
4.2.1 Cancellation of contract between users:
In case of cancellation by a user, cancellation fees and conditions may be charged by the respective contractual partner in accordance with their agreement and applicable law. The buyer is free to provide evidence that the damage incurred was less.
4.2.2 Cancellation of brokerage contract:
The brokerage contract remains unaffected by a cancellation of the contract between users, regardless of whether it is made by the User or the respective contractual partner, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. In case of cancellation, CollectAirs may be obliged to enable subsequent fulfillment of a comparable service only if this has been contractually agreed for the specific service.
4.3 The use of the Service for committing crimes, fraud, or for offering prohibited goods is prohibited. In the event of unlawful use, CollectAirs reserves the right to block accounts, remove content, and pursue legal action.
4.4 The information about the listed aircraft/assets is provided by the listing users. CollectAirs therefore does not guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of this information.
4.5 CollectAirs makes every effort to prevent fraudulent use of the service. Unfortunately, however, it cannot be ruled out that this happens nevertheless in individual cases. Therefore, CollectAirs cannot assume any liability that the identity of a user corresponds to the information provided by him. It is recommended to establish the identity of the respective other contracting party before exchanging services.

2.2 Depending on the contract model, costs are incurred by the provider either when listing items and for related additional services, when interested users contact CollectAirs or when concluding a contract with a buyer.

In this case, a one-time processing fee will be charged, which will be agreed upon individually.
2.3 Registration as a provider is in principle only permitted for commercial purposes, registration as a consumer is excluded. The only exception to this is the commission model described in section 4.1, which also allows consumers to register as providers.
2.4 By submitting the registration form, a corresponding email or accepting a referred customer, the provider makes an offer to conclude a usage agreement with CollectAirs, agrees to the General Terms of Use and the Special Terms and Conditions for Providers and assures that he is not excluded from using the service according to section 2.2 of these terms and conditions or section 3.2 of the General Terms of Use. With regard to registration as a Provider, the provisions of sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and 3.7 of the General Terms of Use shall apply accordingly.
2.5 The provision of the contractual services and the execution of the concluded contract is the responsibility of the contracting parties.

4.2 The prices result from the current price list of CollectAirs, unless a different price has been agreed individually.

The provider is obliged towards CollectAirs to communicate the real turnover value of the transaction after conclusion of the contract; CollectAirs will then issue the corresponding commission invoices to the seller and the buyer in accordance with this split.
5. Supplementary services
5.1 In addition to the contract models, the provider can conclude additional contracts for supplementary services (for example, for preferred positioning, advertising banners, highlighted images, editorial content, etc.).

The average of the past four calendar quarters shall apply. The adjustment will be made at the end of the contract term by CollectAirs notifying the customer of the new prices at least four months before the end of the contract term.
6.2 In case the price index mentioned in clause 6.1 is no longer continued and published, CollectAirs will, at its reasonable discretion, from that time on, fix itself on the price index determined and continued to be published by the Federal Statistical Office or the then competent authority, which comes closest to the economic approach of the discontinued price index.
6.3 The provider can terminate the contract at the end of the contract term after notification of the price increase in accordance with section 6.1. If the provider does not terminate the contract, the contract term will be extended according to clause 4.2; the prices notified by CollectAirs will then apply as of the extension.
