2) SUBJECT OF THE CONTRACT

2.1. PROXY.brothers is a provider of mobile data switching services in the form of so-called proxy services against payment. End customers receive access to the proxy service of PROXY.brothers (hereinafter referred to as “service”) against payment of a usage fee.

The functional scope of the Service is set out in the current Service description, available at https://www.proxybrothers.com.

2.2. PROXY.brothers shall provide the Reseller with quotas for the use of the service for resale to end customers. The concrete scope of services of the contingents (speed of data transmission, transmission standard, data volume, IP rotation and number of permitted users) depends on the product selected by the Reseller and results from the information on the website at https://www.proxybrothers.com (hereinafter referred to as “Website”).

3) CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT

The submission of the order on the website by clicking on the button “order with costs” constitutes a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract on the part of the visitor.

3.2. PROXY.brothers confirms receipt of the order immediately by sending an automatically generated e-mail (“confirmation of receipt”). This message does not constitute an acceptance of the offer to conclude a contract. An effective contract shall only be concluded upon receipt of a further e-mail (“Order Confirmation”).

4) CUSTOMER ACCOUNT, REGISTRATION

4.1. The Reseller has the possibility to create a user account by clicking on the “register” button. Registration is purely voluntary in order to simplify future orders. However, it is also possible to place an order without registering (“guest order”).

4.3. The personal data stored during registration shall be saved by PROXY.brothers so that the Reseller can log in again at any time using his access data.

5) ORDERING PROCESS

5.1. The Reseller can select the desired contingents for booking by adding them to the shopping cart by clicking on the corresponding button.

In the shopping cart, the Reseller can change the desired number of items or remove the selected items entirely at any time.

5.2. If there are items in the shopping cart, the Reseller will first be taken to a page where he can enter his data and then select the shipping and payment method by clicking on the “Continue” button. The content of the input fields can also be corrected later by selecting the appropriate step or by clicking the “edit” button. To cancel the ordering process completely, the browser window can be closed or the website exited.

6.2. If the Reseller is obliged to make a (partial) refund of the fee to the end customer due to the availability assured to the end customer, the Reseller may demand from PROXY.brothers an equivalent (partial) refund for the contingents purchased in accordance with clause 6.3. of the Terms of Use.
