Terms and conditions

Part A: For all contracts

§ 1 Provider, scope, language

1. The provider is Husam Noaman, Heinrich-Heine-Ring 132a, 76199 Karlsruhe, Germany, email husam.noaman@husamsieg.com (hereinafter "we").
2. These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts you conclude with us through our website husamsieg.com. Part B applies to businesses, Part C to consumers, Part D to job seekers, Part E to everyone.
3. A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that cannot predominantly be attributed to their commercial or self-employed professional activity (§ 13 BGB). A business is a natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity that acts in the exercise of its commercial or self-employed professional activity when concluding the contract (§ 14 BGB).
4. Different terms of businesses do not apply, even if we do not expressly object to them.
5. The contract language is German. Translations of these terms into other languages serve understanding; the German version is authoritative.
6. We store the contract text (your order details and these terms in the version valid when the contract was concluded). You receive the order details in the confirmation by email; you can retrieve these terms on the website at any time.

§ 2 What we are and what we are not

1. We bring job seekers and companies together and advise on the basis of practical experience. We are neither the employer of job seekers nor do we hire out employees (no temporary agency work). An employment contract is concluded solely between the company and the job seeker.
2. We are not lawyers and do not provide legal advice. Information on visas, residence permits, recognition of qualifications and employment law is general guidance and no substitute for the decision of the competent authorities or for legal advice.
3. We do not promise that you will receive a job, a training place, a visa, a residence permit or recognition of a qualification. Companies and authorities decide on this.

§ 3 Concluding a contract through the website

1. The presentation of offers on the website is not a binding offer. By clicking the button "zahlungspflichtig bestellen" (order with obligation to pay) you make a binding offer to conclude the contract. Before the click we show you the essential features of the service, the total price, the term and the conditions of termination. You can correct input errors in the preceding steps before the click.
2. We accept your offer by confirming the booking or activating your access and sending you a confirmation by email.
3. An appointment that has not yet been paid is reserved for you for 20 minutes. If it is not paid within that time, we release the appointment again.

§ 4 Prices and payment

1. All prices are final prices in euro. No VAT is charged pursuant to § 19 of the German VAT Act (UStG).
2. Outside Iraq you pay through Stripe (for example by card); Stripe may convert the amount into your currency. In Iraq you pay through Wayl in Iraqi dinar. We show you the dinar amount before payment; it is calculated from the euro price at the rate we set.
3. We charge no additional fee for your choice of payment method.

Part B: Businesses

§ 5 Service

1. We support you in looking for workers: at your request we look for suitable candidates (also from our talent pool), approach them, make a pre-selection and establish the contact with you.
2. You alone decide whether you hire a person. The same applies to the person's decision to accept an offer. You conclude employment contracts directly with the person.
3. We owe the placement activity, not the result. We do not assure the suitability, the availability, or the entry or work permit of any person.

§ 6 Your duties

1. You give complete and correct details of the position and the conditions (activity, place, start, working time, pay, leave, notice periods, applicable collective agreements). We need them to inform job seekers before they conclude a contract.
2. You are responsible for the employment being legally permissible and you take care of the necessary approvals and procedures (for example the approval of the Federal Employment Agency).
3. You do not demand any placement fee from job seekers and do not pass on to them any costs connected with our activity.
4. You inform us without delay if you hire a person we suggested.

§ 7 Fee

1. We agree the fee for our service with you individually in text form (for example by email) before we start. Without such an agreement no fee arises.
2. The due date and the payment period follow from that agreement.
3. Rules for the case that the placed person leaves within a certain time (for example replacement placement or refund) apply only if they are set out in that agreement.
4. All prices are plus statutory value added tax, where it applies.

§ 8 Candidates' data

1. We pass on a person's data only if that person has expressly consented for your company.
2. You are yourself responsible for processing this data within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation. You use it only for the selection procedure, do not pass it to third parties and delete it when the procedure has ended or the person withdraws consent.

§ 9 No exclusivity

You are not obliged to use only our help and may use other ways of finding staff at any time. We are equally free to suggest job seekers to other companies.

§ 10 Liability towards businesses

1. We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body and health, under the Product Liability Act and where we have given a guarantee.
2. For slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on which you can regularly rely) our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise liability for slight negligence is excluded.
3. We are not liable for the conduct, suitability or statements of job seekers whom we have not checked.

§ 11 Law and place of jurisdiction

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. To the extent permitted by law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes with businesses is the seat of the provider.

Part C: Consumers

§ 12 Consultation appointments

1. The subject is a video call with Husam Noaman of the length stated on the booking page and at the price stated there. You receive the link to the video call by email. The time is shown in your time zone. For the urgent consultation and the VIP consultation you cannot choose a time: you pay first, then Husam Noaman gets in touch with you personally and agrees the time with you. As soon as the time is fixed, you receive an email with the time and the video link. For the urgent consultation the call takes place within 24 hours after your payment arrives, as far as you can be reached. For the real-estate consultation the time you book is only a provisional appointment; we contact you to agree on a time that suits both sides. Our part there is limited to advertising, marketing and scheduling; the technical and architectural advice is given by a qualified architect.
2. The call is advice based on practical experience (§ 2). A particular result is not owed.
3. You can postpone the appointment once or cancel it free of charge up to 24 hours before it begins. If you cancel in time, we refund the price paid within 14 days. After that period, or if you do not show up, we decide case by case; a right to a refund then exists only as far as the law provides one. Your statutory rights, in particular the right of withdrawal, remain unaffected.
4. For the urgent consultation and the VIP consultation you cannot move the agreed time yourself; please contact us if you need another time. If we cannot offer you a call, we refund the price paid in full.
5. The consultations are a separate offer for a fee. They are not a condition for us to pass on your profile to a company, to name a company or to establish the contact (§ 18). You decide freely whether to book a consultation.
6. For the VIP consultation the conditions shown to you before payment also apply, which you must accept expressly there.

§ 13 Heroes membership

1. The membership gives access to a private group on Telegram with a group chat, a weekly live stream and question rounds. A Telegram account and being of legal age (18 or older) are required. The community rules apply.
2. Outside Iraq you pay through Stripe. You can choose between a monthly subscription (7 euro per month) and, where offered on the website, an annual subscription (74 euro per year). The membership renews automatically for the chosen term unless you cancel.
3. In Iraq you pay in advance through Wayl for one, three, six or twelve months. This membership ends when the paid period ends, without any need for notice, and does not renew.
4. You can cancel a subscription membership at any time to the end of the current payment period, using the button "Verträge hier kündigen" (cancel contracts here) on our website or in text form by email to husam.noaman@husamsieg.com.
5. After the end of the paid period, access remains for another 3 days; after that, our bot removes you from the group.
6. We do not change the price of a running subscription without your consent.
7. In case of serious or repeated breaches of the community rules, we may terminate the contract for good cause and remove you from the group.

§ 14 Right of withdrawal and early start

1. As a consumer you have a statutory right of withdrawal. The details are in the withdrawal instruction, with the model withdrawal form, on the "Withdrawal" page. You can also exercise your right of withdrawal using the button "Vertrag widerrufen" (withdraw from contract).
2. If you want us to begin the service before the withdrawal period has ended, you declare this expressly before ordering in a separate checkbox and confirm in a second checkbox that you know your right of withdrawal expires once the contract is fully performed. If you withdraw after the start, you owe compensation for the services provided up to then (details in the withdrawal instruction).

§ 15 Warranty

The statutory rights in case of defects apply.

§ 16 Liability towards consumers

1. We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body and health, under the Product Liability Act and where we have given a guarantee.
2. For slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise liability for slight negligence is excluded. Statutory liability rules that apply mandatorily in your favour remain unaffected.

§ 17 Applicable law

German law applies. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the state in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected. We do not agree a special place of jurisdiction with consumers.

Part D: Job seekers

§ 18 Free of charge

Using the quiz, applying, being added to the talent pool and getting in touch with companies through us are free of charge for job seekers. For placing a job or a place in vocational training we charge job seekers no fee and no advance payment; for placement into vocational training (Ausbildung) we charge a fee only to employers (§ 296a SGB III). Naming a company, passing on your profile and establishing the contact do not depend on buying a consultation or any other paid offer. Consultations (§ 12) and the Heroes membership (§ 13) are separate offers that you can choose freely.

§ 19 No promises

Being added to the talent pool gives no right to a job offer, an interview or a hire. We do not promise a job, a visa or a residence permit (§ 2).

§ 20 Your data and your consents

1. We store your application only with your consent and pass it to a company only if you have separately consented for that company. You can withdraw any consent at any time and delete your application. Details are in the privacy notice.
2. Documents you provided to us we return or delete without delay after the placement activity has ended.

§ 21 Information before the employment contract

Before you conclude an employment contract with a company we placed you with, you receive in writing, in a language you understand, the details on employer, start, place of work, activity, working time, pay, leave, notice periods, collective agreements and advice centres.

§ 22 Your decision

You decide freely whether to accept an offer from a company. An employment contract is concluded only between you and the company. You are not obliged to use only our help.

Part E: Final provisions

§ 23 Changes, invalidity

1. Changes to these terms apply only to contracts concluded after the change.
2. If a provision is invalid, the contract remains valid otherwise; the statutory rule takes the place of the invalid provision (§ 306 BGB).
