Sponsor terms
Version 1.0 · 10 November 2026
These terms are a contract between Gabriel Beslic, trading as Beslic Labs, Homburger Landstrasse 455, 60433 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, info@cobundle.io ("Cobundle"), and the business that accepts them ("you"). They apply when you offer free months of your product through Cobundle. The data protection terms are part of these terms.
1. Who can sponsor
1.1 Cobundle is only for businesses. By accepting these terms you confirm that you act in your trade, business or profession (§ 14 German Civil Code, BGB), not as a consumer. Cobundle may end the contract if this turns out to be untrue. Mandatory consumer law stays unaffected.
1.2 The person who accepts these terms confirms that they are allowed to bind the business they accept them for.
1.3 Your own terms and conditions don't apply, even if you refer to them or Cobundle doesn't object to them.
1.4 You confirm that neither your business nor anyone who owns or controls it is subject to sanctions of the EU, the United Nations or Germany, and that you are not established in a country or region under a comprehensive EU embargo. You will tell Cobundle at once if this changes. Cobundle may refuse, suspend or end the contract where sanctions law requires it. Sanctions provisions of other countries apply only as far as EU and German law allow, including Regulation (EC) No 2271/96 and § 7 of the German Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance (AWV).
2. What Cobundle does
2.1 Hosts are businesses that show sponsor offers in their own upgrade or billing flow with the Cobundle embed. A buyer is a host's customer who sees your offer. When a buyer clicks Claim on your offer, Cobundle creates a lead and passes you the buyer's email address, and their name, company and plan if the host provided them.
2.2 Cobundle proposes your offer to hosts, or hosts find it in Cobundle's catalog. Cobundle chooses by hand which hosts to propose your offer to, based on how well your product fits the host's product and buyers, including the countries and the kind of buyers (businesses or consumers) you named. Each host decides whether to show your offer and can pause or remove it at any time without giving reasons. You see the hosts that currently show your offer.
2.3 How an offer is chosen. Each time the embed loads, Cobundle shows one offer, picked at random, with equal chances, from the offers that are eligible on that page at that moment. An offer is eligible when:
- Cobundle has approved it and it isn't paused;
- the host has accepted it and hasn't paused or removed it;
- you and the host have accepted the current version of Cobundle's terms;
- your credits cover one more lead; and
- your monthly limit, if you set one, has room for one more lead.
Your price per lead, the size of your credits and the amount you have paid don't change your chances. Cobundle shows no offers of its own and gives no sponsor a better position in this pick. If that ever changes, Cobundle will update this section first.
2.4 Cobundle does not promise a number of hosts, views or leads. Cobundle doesn't check whether a buyer finishes their purchase with the host, or whether a buyer already uses your product.
2.5 Cobundle aims to keep the service available at all times but doesn't guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, faults at service providers and events outside Cobundle's control can interrupt it. If the embed can't reach Cobundle, it shows nothing and no lead is created.
3. Your offer
3.1 You have one offer: a number of free months (1 to 12) of a plan you name, the offer value, a one-line pitch, your logo and an optional terms line.
3.2 Offer value. The offer value is the lowest monthly price a new customer can pay for the plan in your offer: for one seat on a per-seat plan, or the plan's price on a flat plan. For a plan sold yearly, it is the yearly price divided by 12. It must match your public pricing.
3.3 Approval. Your offer, and every change to it, goes live only after Cobundle approves it. Cobundle checks it against these terms, the offer rules in Schedule 1 and your public pricing. Cobundle may refuse a change or send it back with a note saying why. Approval doesn't move responsibility for the offer to Cobundle.
3.4 Truthful offers. You are responsible for your offer and confirm that it is accurate, lawful and not misleading. In particular:
- the free months are free: you don't charge the buyer anything for them;
- if the buyer must enter payment details, or the free months turn into a paid plan unless cancelled, you tell the buyer clearly before they commit, and they can cancel before the first charge without cost;
- the offer value is true; and
- you can lawfully offer your product in the countries you choose.
3.5 Licence. You allow Cobundle to use your company name, logo and offer content, free of charge, worldwide and for as long as the contract lasts, to show your offer to hosts and buyers, in Cobundle's dashboards and catalog, and in emails about your offer. Cobundle may resize and reformat them, but not change their meaning. Cobundle uses them in its own marketing only with your separate permission. You confirm that you have the rights to grant this licence.
4. Leads and your promise to buyers
4.1 A lead is created when a buyer clicks Claim on your offer, and it is charged at once (section 5.3). Each buyer email address counts once per sponsor: claiming your offer again creates no second lead. A buyer who withdrew a claim and later claims your offer again creates a new lead.
4.2 For each lead you see the buyer's email address; their name, company and plan if the host provided them; the host and placement; the offer; and the time.
4.3 Your promise. You contact the buyer promptly at the address you received and give them the free months exactly as your offer showed them, with your own tools. If you can't, for example because the buyer already uses your product, you tell the buyer.
4.4 Buyers trust the host's page when they claim. If buyers or hosts complain that you don't deliver, or deliver something other than what your offer showed, Cobundle may pause your offer or end the contract under section 10.
5. Price and credits
5.1 Price per lead. The price per lead is one week of your offer value: the offer value × 12 ÷ 52, rounded to a whole euro or dollar, at least 10 and at most 100, as explained at cobundle.io/pricing. The price follows your live offer: when a new offer value goes live, the new price applies to leads from then on. For an offer without a public monthly price, Cobundle agrees the price with you before the offer goes live. Each lead keeps the price that applied when it was created.
5.2 Credits. You pay for leads in advance with credits. Credits are an amount of money held for you in your currency, euros or US dollars. Cobundle sets the currency when you start, and it can't change once you have credits. Credits can only be used for leads on Cobundle. They are not transferable, earn no interest and are not a deposit or electronic money.
5.3 Charging. A lead's price comes off your credits the moment the buyer clicks Claim. There is no overdraft: your offer shows only while your credits cover one more lead and your monthly limit, if any, has room. A claim that arrives after that point is refused, and nothing is shared.
5.4 Monthly limit. You can set an optional monthly limit. Your offer stops for the rest of the calendar month once one more lead would exceed it. Months follow German time (Europe/Berlin).
5.5 Free credits. Cobundle may give you free credits, for example when you start. They are kept apart from paid credits, are spent first, have no cash value, and are never invoiced, refunded or paid out. They lapse when the contract ends.
5.6 Withdrawn claims. A buyer can withdraw a claim at any time (section 8.5). A withdrawn lead stays charged.
5.7 Leads Cobundle voids. You can ask Cobundle to review a lead within 30 days of its creation, for example a fake or undeliverable address or a buyer who was already your customer. Cobundle decides at its reasonable discretion (§ 315 BGB) and tells you the outcome. When Cobundle voids a lead, its price goes back to the credits it came from.
6. Top-ups, auto top-up and invoices
6.1 Top-ups. You add credits by card through Stripe, in any amount from the minimum shown in your dashboard (currently €500 or US$500). Cobundle pays the card fees, so paying 500 adds 500 of credits. Credits are added once the payment is confirmed. Cobundle may also agree to a payment by bank transfer and add the credits by hand.
6.2 VAT and invoices. Amounts are net. VAT is added where it applies. Credits are a single-purpose voucher (Einzweck-Gutschein, § 3 (14) German VAT Act) for Cobundle's leads: VAT applies when you buy them, and leads paid with credits are not invoiced again. If you are a business in another EU country and give a valid VAT ID, the reverse charge applies and you account for the VAT. You confirm that the billing name, address and VAT ID you give are correct. Stripe sends an invoice for each payment on Cobundle's behalf.
6.3 Auto top-up. If you turn on auto top-up, you allow Cobundle to charge the card you saved the amount you chose, plus any VAT, each time your credit balance drops below the threshold you chose. The rules are:
- at most one charge each time the balance drops below the threshold: a top-up never triggers another one;
- each charge gets an invoice by email;
- only you can change the amount, the threshold or the card;
- you can turn auto top-up off at any time on your Credits page, with effect for all later charges;
- if a charge fails, Cobundle emails you; auto top-up turns itself off after three failed charges in a row, or at once if the saved card can no longer be used;
- Cobundle keeps a record of who turned auto top-up on, when, with which amount and threshold, and the exact wording shown; and
- Cobundle uses the saved card only for top-ups you chose.
If Cobundle wants to change these rules, it tells you by email at least 30 days in advance, and the change applies only once you confirm it in your dashboard.
6.4 Disputed payments. If you dispute a card payment for credits, Cobundle takes those credits off your balance while the dispute is open, even if your balance goes below zero, and turns auto top-up off. A negative balance is due at once and is settled from your next top-up. Your offer stays off until your credits cover a lead again. If the dispute is decided in Cobundle's favour, the credits come back.
7. Refunds
7.1 Paid credits don't expire. They stay on your company account while the contract lasts, including while your offer is paused.
7.2 Cobundle refunds your unused paid credits, without deduction, if:
- Cobundle ends the contract by notice under section 10.2;
- Cobundle stops offering sponsoring through Cobundle;
- you end the contract for good cause for which Cobundle is responsible; or
- you end the contract because you don't accept a change under section 15.
Cobundle pays the refund within 30 days to the original payment method, in the original currency, less any negative balance or open amounts you owe Cobundle. Free credits are never refunded.
7.3 In all other cases, paid credits are not refunded or paid out. If you end the contract yourself, your paid balance stays recorded, and you can use it again if you start sponsoring later.
7.4 If sanctions law forbids paying out credits, Cobundle holds them until it may pay them out.
8. Buyer data
8.1 The buyer agrees to share their details with you by clicking Claim. When Cobundle passes you a lead, you receive the buyer's details as an independent controller under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The data protection terms set out each party's duties in full.
8.2 You use buyer details only to contact the buyer about the offer they claimed and to give them the free months. If the buyer becomes your customer, your normal relationship with your customers applies. Any other use, including marketing emails, needs the buyer's own separate consent, which you obtain and must be able to prove.
8.3 Your first message to the buyer says who you are, that you are contacting them because they claimed your offer on the host's page through Cobundle, and links to your privacy policy.
8.4 You don't sell, rent or pass buyer details to anyone else, except to your own service providers who process them on your behalf.
8.5 Withdrawal. A buyer can withdraw a claim at any time, with the Undo button on the host's page or the link in Cobundle's confirmation email. Cobundle then hides the buyer's details from your dashboard and, if you had already been told about the lead, tells you by email. You then stop contacting the buyer about the offer and delete the details you received for it within 30 days, unless the buyer has meanwhile become your customer or the law requires you to keep them.
9. Your account
9.1 You keep your company's details, billing details and team members correct. Everyone you invite acts for your company, with the same rights. You keep sign-in access to email accounts secure and tell Cobundle at once if you suspect misuse.
9.2 Who sees what. You see your offer, your leads with the buyer details in section 4.2, the views and leads per host and placement, and your credits and invoices. Hosts see how often your offer was shown and claimed on their pages, but no buyer details. Other companies see your name, logo and offer if Cobundle shows it in the catalog. Cobundle can see all data on the platform and may look at your dashboard, read-only, to support you, to check offers and leads, and to prevent misuse. Cobundle uses aggregated figures that identify neither you nor any buyer to run and improve the service, and shares your data with nobody else except its service providers or where the law requires it.
9.3 Your data at the end. After the contract ends, you can ask Cobundle for an export of your leads, credits history and invoices for 30 days, in a common machine-readable format (CSV or JSON), at no charge. After that, Cobundle closes your team's accounts and deletes the data it no longer needs. It keeps what it must keep by law (such as invoices and the credits history, for 8 years), and what it needs to prove the contract and consent and to settle claims: the leads, with the offer they were claimed on, for 3 years from each claim, and the record of who accepted these terms, with their name and email address, for 3 years after the contract ends. Your company name and paid balance stay recorded under section 7.3.
10. Pausing, suspension and ending the contract
10.1 You can end the contract at any time, with immediate effect, by writing to info@cobundle.io from an address of your team. You can pause your offer in your dashboard at any time.
10.2 Cobundle can end the contract with 30 days' notice by email, giving its reasons.
10.3 Either side can end the contract for good cause without notice (§ 314 BGB).
10.4 Cobundle may pause your offer, limit your account or suspend it, as far as is proportionate, if:
- your offer or your conduct breaks these terms, the offer rules or the law;
- Cobundle has reasonable grounds to suspect fraud, misuse of buyer data, or a security risk;
- your balance is below zero or a payment was disputed;
- buyers or hosts make well-founded complaints that you don't deliver the free months; or
- the law or an authority requires it.
10.5 Statement of reasons. If Cobundle refuses or removes an offer, pauses it, or limits, suspends or ends your account, it tells you by email which measure it took, the facts and the rule it relied on, at the latest when the measure takes effect. Where the measure is based on a notice from someone else, Cobundle says so. You can reply with your view, and Cobundle will review its decision. If Cobundle reverses it, your account and offer are restored. You can always go to court.
10.6 Leads created before the contract ends stay charged. Refunds follow section 7.
11. Liability
11.1 Cobundle is liable without limitation for damage caused by intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under a guarantee it gave, if it fraudulently concealed a defect, and under mandatory product liability law.
11.2 For slight negligence, Cobundle is liable only if it breaches an essential obligation, meaning an obligation that makes it possible to perform the contract at all and on which you may regularly rely. In that case, liability is limited to the damage that is foreseeable and typical for this kind of contract.
11.3 In the cases of section 11.2, Cobundle's liability is also limited to the higher of the amounts you paid Cobundle in the 12 months before the damaging event, or €5,000, for all damaging events in a contract year.
11.4 Otherwise, Cobundle is not liable for slight negligence. These limits also apply to Cobundle's representatives, employees and agents.
12. Your responsibility to Cobundle
You hold Cobundle harmless from claims of third parties, including hosts, buyers and authorities, and from reasonable costs of legal defence, that arise because your offer, your use of buyer details or your failure to give the free months breaks these terms or the law, unless you are not responsible for the breach. Cobundle tells you about such a claim promptly and lets you take part in the defence.
13. Confidentiality
Both sides keep the other's non-public business information, such as prices, credits, lead figures and the hosts your offer appears on, confidential, and use it only for this contract. This doesn't apply to information that is public or that the law requires to be disclosed.
14. Contact and complaints
Questions, complaints about Cobundle's decisions and notices go to info@cobundle.io. Cobundle answers within a reasonable time, usually within five business days. Cobundle sends notices to the email addresses of your team.
15. Changes to these terms
15.1 Cobundle may change these terms to follow changes in the law or in court decisions, to close gaps or fix unclear wording, to add new features, or for security reasons.
15.2 Cobundle tells you about a change by email at least 30 days before it applies and shows you the new version in your dashboard. A change that is required by law or needed to address an immediate risk of fraud or security may apply sooner.
15.3 A change applies to you only once you accept it in your dashboard. Until then, your offer pauses from the date the change applies. If you don't want to accept a change, you can end the contract under section 10.1, and section 7.2 applies.
15.4 The price rule in section 5.1, and the core duties of either side, change only with your acceptance.
16. Transfer of the contract
Cobundle may transfer this contract to a company that Gabriel Beslic controls and that takes over the Cobundle business, for example a limited company founded for it. Cobundle tells you at least 30 days in advance. If you don't agree, you can end the contract before the transfer, and section 7.2 applies.
17. Final provisions
17.1 German law applies. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) doesn't apply.
17.2 As far as the law allows, the courts of Frankfurt am Main, Germany, have exclusive jurisdiction. Cobundle may also sue you at your seat.
17.3 You can set off only claims that are undisputed or finally decided by a court, or that arise from this contract.
17.4 These terms are written in English. The English version is binding; translations are for convenience.
17.5 If a provision is invalid, the rest stays valid, and the statutory rules apply in its place.
Schedule 1: Offer rules
Cobundle does not approve, and may remove, offers that:
- are illegal in a country where they show, or promote illegal products or services;
- promote gambling, betting, lotteries or prediction markets;
- promote adult or sexual content or services;
- promote weapons, ammunition, explosives, tobacco, vaping products, cannabis, other drugs or prescription medicines;
- promote crypto-assets, trading, investments with high risk, loans, or payment services without the required licence;
- promote multi-level marketing or get-rich-quick schemes;
- are aimed at children under 16;
- contain hateful, discriminatory or violent content;
- are misleading, including false offer values, hidden costs or "free" offers that aren't free;
- infringe anyone's intellectual property or other rights; or
- could harm the hosts showing them, buyers or Cobundle's reputation, such as offers of products competing directly with the host's own product, unless the host accepted it.
Cobundle reviews every offer by hand before it goes live and doesn't use automated tools to decide on offers. Anyone can report an offer they believe is illegal to info@cobundle.io, with the sponsor's name, where they saw the offer, why they believe it is illegal, their name and email address, and a statement that they believe in good faith that the report is accurate and complete. Cobundle confirms receipt, decides promptly and carefully, and tells the reporter and the sponsor what it decided.
