General Terms & Conditions of Wantxd GmbH
1. Scope
These General Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern the access to, and the use of the Wantxd matchmaking and introductions platform (the "Platform") and services offered by WANTXD GmbH, Bahnhofstraße 114, 13127 Berlin, Germany (Commercial Register: HRB 282927 B) (the "Company") via wantxd.com together with any related matchmaking and referral services provided by the Company (collectively, the "Services").
The Platform enables service providers and other business users seeking new business relationships (each a "Service Provider") to publish requests for introductions to relevant contacts at third-party companies (each a "Target Company") and enables other users (each a "Hunter") to propose such introductions via the Platform in exchange for reward payments, subject to these Terms and any applicable separate agreements. For purposes of these Terms, Service Providers and Hunters are collectively referred to as "User" or "Users".
The Company operates the Platform as a neutral intermediary, except where the Company expressly acts in its own name under separate agreements as described below. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the Company does not become a party to any agreement or business relationship between a Service Provider, a Hunter, or a Target Company. In particular, the Company does not act as agent, broker, trustee, escrow provider, payment service provider, or collection agent for any User.
Use of the Platform and the Services is conditional upon acceptance of these Terms. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform and the Services, the User confirms that they have read, understood, and accepted the Terms. If a User does not agree to these Terms, they may not use the Platform or the Services.
2. Platform and Services
The Company provides the Platform and the Services to Users as a digital matchmaking and introductions environment for business development purposes.
Subject to the payment terms in Section 5, Service Providers may publish introduction requests on the Platform (each an "Introduction Request"), describing the type of introduction they seek with Target Companies, including conditions and criteria for a successful introduction (the "Success Requirements").
Hunters may review Introduction Requests and, subject to these Terms, propose Introductions via the Platform (each such proposed Introduction, a "Proposal"), in exchange for cash fee payments for successful Introductions ("Hunter Rewards"). For the purposes of these Terms, an "Introduction" means the facilitation of initial contact between a Service Provider and a Target Company in line with the Success Requirements, for example by sharing contact details or arranging an initial communication channel or direct meeting, in each case in a neutral and external capacity and without any authority to represent, influence, or bind any party, and without any guarantee of a meeting, transaction, or other business outcome.
The Platform facilitates the submission, management, and tracking of Introduction Requests, Success Requirements, Proposals, and Introductions. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all Introduction Requests and Proposals made via the Platform are non-binding with respect to any business outcome between Users and/or Target Companies.
The Company does not verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or success of any Introduction Request, Proposal or Introduction. In particular, the Company does not guarantee that an Introduction will result in a meeting, a contractual relationship, or any business outcome.
The Company does not provide brokerage, agency, procurement, or advisory services and, when operating the Platform, does not act on behalf of any User. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, any agreement, business relationship, or transaction arising from an Introduction is concluded exclusively between the relevant Users and/or the Target Company, without the Company becoming a party to it. The Company does not process or control payments between Users and does not collect, hold, or disburse funds on behalf of any User.
The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company may itself provide introduction or referral services to Service Providers and make Proposals and Introductions with or without the support of Hunters. In such cases, the Company acts in its own name and not as a neutral platform operator, and such services, Proposals and Introductions are subject to separate contractual arrangements between the Company and the relevant Service Provider.
3. Registration and Account
To access and use the Platform and the Services, Users must register an account. When registering an account, the User must provide accurate, current, and complete information and keep their account information up-to-date for the duration of the use of the Platform and the Services.
Each User may register and maintain only one account, unless the Company expressly agrees otherwise. Accounts registered using automated means, bots, or false identities are not permitted and may be suspended or terminated. In the case of legal entities, the registering User confirms that they are duly authorised to represent the relevant entity.
The User is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their account credentials and may not disclose their credentials to any third party. The User is responsible for all activities carried out through their account and must immediately notify the Company if there is any suspicion that their credentials have been lost, misused, stolen, or their account is otherwise compromised.
If and as permitted by applicable law, the Company may, but is not obliged to (i) ask Users to provide identification or other information, (ii) undertake checks designed to help verify User identity or background and (iii) screen Users against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from third-party service providers.
The Company may suspend, restrict, or permanently remove a User's account, with immediate effect if necessary, if the User violates these Terms, provides false or misleading information, uses the Platform in an unlawful manner, or if there are reasonable indications of misuse, abuse, or circumvention of the Platform's purpose. Further consequences of account suspension or removal are set out in these Terms.
Certain features of the Platform, including the ability to respond to Introduction Requests, submit Proposals, make Introductions, or receive Hunter Reward payouts, may require the User to accept additional agreements or other commercial terms agreed with the Company.
4. Introduction Process
Service Providers may publish Introduction Requests on the Platform in accordance with the options, formats, and parameters made available by the Company from time to time and subject to these Terms and a separate written agreement with the Company governing the applicable commercial conditions (the "Service Provider Agreement"). As part of an Introduction Request, the Service Provider will specify the Success Requirements (for example, the specific decision-maker that should be reached or the type of meeting that should be arranged) and the corresponding Success Fees, which may include tiered structures (e.g. verified lead, signed agreement, revenue share). The Company may review, approve, reject, suspend, or remove Introduction Requests and set corresponding Hunter Rewards payable by the Company at its discretion.
Hunters may submit Proposals in response to Introduction Requests provided that they have entered into a separate agreement governing the commercial conditions as between the Company and the Hunter as independent contractor (the "Hunter Agreement"). For the purposes of these Terms, the Service Provider Agreement and the Hunter Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Commercial Agreement(s)". A Proposal shall not entitle a Hunter to proceed with an Introduction unless and until the relevant Service Provider has expressly accepted such Proposal via the Platform or in text form. The relevant Service Provider or the Company may reject any Proposal at its sole discretion prior to such acceptance, without giving reasons. No Introduction may be made, and no corresponding Hunter Reward earned, unless the Proposal has been accepted in accordance with this Section.
Where a Hunter Reward is offered in connection with an Introduction, any entitlement to, and payment of, such Hunter Reward is governed exclusively by the applicable provisions of Section 5 (Rewards, Payments, and Taxes). Participation in the introduction process alone does not create any right to payment.
The Company may also, in its own name and independently of Hunters, submit Proposals to Service Providers in response to Introduction Requests and make Introductions subject to the commercial terms set out in the applicable Service Provider Agreement.
The Company may modify, adapt, suspend, or discontinue individual process steps, features, or functionalities of the Platform at any time, provided that such changes do not materially affect any accrued rights to payment under Section 5 and the applicable Service Provider Agreement.
5. Rewards, Payments, and Taxes
5.1 General principles
Introduction Requests published on the Platform by Service Providers are subject to payment terms and fee requirements (the "Service Provider Fee") specified in individual Service Provider Agreements.
The Company may offer conditional Hunter Rewards in connection with individual Introduction Requests, subject to these Terms and the applicable Hunter Agreements. Such Hunter Rewards are offered by the Company independently of, and not conditioned upon, the Service Provider Fee.
Users acknowledge and agree that submitting a Proposal, sharing contact details, or taking steps to facilitate an Introduction does not, in itself, create any right to a Hunter Reward. As such, the Company cannot guarantee that any Hunter Reward will become payable. If multiple Hunters submit Proposals relating to the same Introduction Request, the Company may apply the allocation logic described on the Platform or in the relevant Introduction Request (for example, first eligible Proposal that meets the conditions).
The Company may set and change reasonable requirements for the documentation and evidence needed to assess whether a Hunter Reward is payable.
5.2 Payment conditions and verification
Users acknowledge and agree that any Hunter Reward payments are conditioned upon the Hunter (i) completing such account verification steps as the Company may require from time to time, (ii) entering into a Hunter Agreement with the Company, and (iii) providing documentation reasonably needed for compliance, fraud prevention, sanctions screening, tax, and payout processing under the applicable Hunter Agreement. The Company may withhold, delay, or refuse a payment if:
- the Hunter has not completed required verification steps;
- there are reasonable indications of fraud, misuse, circumvention, or unlawful conduct;
- the Company cannot complete required checks (including sanctions screening); or
- the payment would violate applicable law, a court order, or a binding request by an authority.
The Company may request the Service Provider to provide reasonable confirmations or evidence that the Success Requirements were met, as set out in the Hunter Agreement. If the Company does not receive such information, it may assess the Success Requirements based on the information otherwise available to it. Where legally permitted, the Company will inform the Hunter of the reason for any withholding, delay, or refusal of a payment.
5.3 Payout timing, method, and currency
Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Commercial Agreement, the Company will use reasonable efforts to pay out approved Hunter Rewards within a commercially reasonable period but in any event no later than 45 days after confirming that the Success Requirements in the applicable Introduction Request were met, provided that User verification under Section 5.2 is completed. The Company may set minimum payout thresholds and may combine multiple approved payouts.
Unless otherwise stated, Service Provider Fees and Hunter Rewards are processed in Euro, using the payment methods made available on the Platform. Users bear any bank, conversion, intermediary, or transfer fees charged by their payment providers, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
5.4 Taxes
Each User is solely responsible for assessing, declaring, and paying all taxes, duties, and social security contributions that may apply to them in connection with their use of the Platform, including any Hunter Reward payouts. The Company does not provide tax advice.
The Company may require Users to provide tax information and documents reasonably needed for payment processing and compliance (for example, tax residence, VAT ID, or other tax forms). If the Company is legally required to withhold or report taxes, charges, or other amounts, the Company may make the withholding and pay out only the net amount. Where permitted, the Company will provide reasonable documentation of the withholding.
Service Providers remain responsible for their own tax treatment of Service Provider Fees paid to the Company. Any Platform or Service fees are exclusive of VAT or other applicable taxes.
5.5 No employment or agency relationship
Payments of Service Provider Fees and Hunter Reward do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Hunter or Service Provider. Hunters act independently and in their own name. Service Providers remain solely responsible for their business decisions and contracting.

In such cases, the Company's liability shall be limited to the typical and foreseeable damages which the Company could reasonably have anticipated at the time this contract was entered into, based on the circumstances known at that time. In all other cases, the Company's liability is excluded to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

The User sharing personal data warrants that it has established a valid legal basis to share personal data with the Company and the receiving User.
