General Terms and Conditions (GTC)
§1 Copyright and Protection of Content
(1) All content published on BLKPNT – in particular photographs, videos, galleries, and other visual media – is subject to the copyright of Steven Jackson (BLKPNT).
(2) The content is intended exclusively for the personal, private use of paying members. By purchasing a membership, the consumer does not acquire ownership or usage rights to the content, but only a temporary, non-transferable right of access to the protected members area.
(3) Any form of reproduction, distribution, public display, sharing with third parties, or other use – in whole or in part – outside the platform https://www.blkpnt.net is strictly prohibited.
(4) Illegal downloads, uploads, or sharing of content are expressly forbidden and will be prosecuted under civil and criminal law. In such cases, we reserve the right to claim damages and to immediately suspend access without refunding any membership fees already paid.
§2 Scope and Definitions
(1) The following General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts concerning paid access to the protected members area of BLKPNT between Steven Jackson and a consumer, in the version valid at the time of contract conclusion.
(2) A “consumer” within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are not primarily related to their commercial or self-employed professional activity.
§3 Conclusion of Contract
(1) The contract for access to the members area is concluded via our website https://www.blkpnt.net.
(2) In the event of contract conclusion, the agreement is made with:
Steven Jackson
Berliner Str. 5
D – 65760 Eschborn
(3) The presentation of membership offers on the website does not constitute a legally binding contract offer, but an invitation to the consumer to subscribe. By ordering a membership, the consumer submits a binding offer to conclude a contract.
(4) The order process consists of the following steps:
Selection of the desired membership model (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual)
Redirection to the payment page
Selection of payment method (e.g., PayPal, credit card)
Confirmation of payment
(5) The contract is concluded once access to the members area has been activated.
§4 Customer Information: Storage of Contract Data
Contract data (selected membership, price, term, etc.) are stored by us. The General Terms and Conditions are available for viewing at any time on the website.
§5 Prices, Payment, Due Date
(1) The prices stated are final prices. In accordance with §19 (1) of the German Value Added Tax Act (UStG), no VAT is charged due to small business status.
(2) The consumer may pay via PayPal or credit card (Stripe).
(3) The agreed amount is due in advance for the respective term (monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual).
§6 Services
(1) Upon successful payment, the consumer receives access to the protected members area on https://www.blkpnt.net for the duration of the chosen subscription.
(2) As the membership provides access to digital content, no physical goods are delivered.
§7 Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal
Since the membership provides digital content that is not delivered on a physical medium and access is granted immediately after conclusion of the contract, there is no right of withdrawal.
The consumer expressly agrees that we begin executing the contract before the withdrawal period expires and acknowledges that this waives their right of withdrawal.
§8 Contract Language
(1) For customers residing in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the contract language is German.
(2) For international customers outside these countries, the contract language is English.
§9 Dispute Resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
We are obliged to participate in the dispute resolution procedure. Our e-mail address can be found in the legal notice (Imprint).
