Terms of Use for Consumers

1. General

1.1 Scope

These terms of use apply in the version valid at the time of use to all consumers who use the Scorty platform to view member profiles and contact them. These terms of use govern the relationship between us (MADOX GmbH, Weinzedleistraße 1, 9400 Wolfsberg) and you as a user.

1.2 Contract Agreement

The contract language is German. These terms of use are exclusively directed at consumers within the meaning of Austrian law.

"Platform" is the website www.scorty.eu provided by us as well as the associated web app "Scorty".

"Members" or "Providers" are natural persons who create profiles via our platform and offer services in the field of escort services, companion services or similar services.

"Users" or "Consumers" are all persons who use the platform for private, non-commercial purposes to search for providers and contact them.

1.3 Age Restriction and Majority

The use of the platform is only permitted to persons of legal age who have reached the age of 18. By using the platform, you confirm that you have reached the age of 18. The platform is expressly not intended for minors. Should we become aware that a minor is using the platform, we will immediately block access for that person.

1.4 Free Use

The use of the platform is completely free for you. You can search and filter member profiles and contact members via external messenger services without incurring any fees. Registration or login is not required.

1.5 Contract Conclusion Between You and Members

You and the members can contact each other via the platform and enter into a separate contract. We will not become a contractual party to the contracts initiated via our platform, but merely provide the platform. The agreement on the type, scope, location, time and remuneration of the service is made exclusively between you and the member on their own responsibility. We have no knowledge of the specific content of the contracts concluded between you and members and are not responsible for this.

Important Note: The Scorty platform does not mediate prostitution services in the strict sense. The agreement and payment of the fee is exclusively for time-limited companionship and escort services. Should members offer other or additional services, they act on their own responsibility. We hereby expressly point out that Scorty is not responsible for the actions of individual members.

1.6 Amendment of Terms of Use

We reserve the right to change these terms of use. We will inform you of material changes at least two weeks before the planned effective date by means of a clearly visible notice on the platform or by email (if you have provided us with an email address). Your continued use of the platform after the deadline is considered acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the amended terms of use, you are free to discontinue use of the platform. We will separately inform you of your right to object and the deadline in the change notice.

2. Service Description

2.1 General

Our Scorty platform is an online platform that enables you to view member profiles, filter by certain criteria, and contact members via external messenger services.

The platform offers you the following functions:

• Free view of all published profiles
• Filter functions by various criteria (e.g., location, availability, services)
• Access to member contact information (external messenger services)
• Information about offered services and fees

Contact between you and members takes place outside our platform via external messenger services (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal). We do not provide our own communication tools and have no access to the communication between you and members.

2.2 Verification of Members

All member profiles published on the platform undergo a multi-stage verification process that includes:

• Identity verification using a valid passport or ID card
• Email verification
• Proof of a current health check
• Review of uploaded content

The verification serves your safety and the safety of members. However, despite careful review, we cannot guarantee that all information provided by members is correct or complete. We recommend that you verify the information provided by members and take appropriate precautions.

2.3 No Warranty for Availability or Quality

We assume no warranty for the availability, quality or legality of the services offered by members. The profiles and information of members are created and maintained by the members themselves. We only review the content within the scope of our technical and legal capabilities.

3. Your Responsibility

3.1 Own Responsibility for Use

You use the platform at your own risk. You are responsible for checking the legality, safety and appropriateness of contacts and agreements initiated via the platform. We strongly recommend that you take appropriate precautions when contacting and meeting with members.

3.2 Prohibited Actions

The following actions are prohibited when using the platform:

• Automated access to the platform (e.g., through bots, scrapers or similar tools)
• Excessive or abusive use of the platform
• Attempting to gain unauthorized access to protected areas of the platform
• Distribution of malware or harmful code
• Harassment, threats or intimidation of members
• Violation of legal provisions in connection with the use of the platform
• Copying, reproducing or redistributing content from the platform without our consent

In case of violations of these provisions, we reserve the right to block your access to the platform.

3.3 Respectful Conduct

We expect all users to treat members with respect and courtesy. Harassing, offensive, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate behavior towards members is prohibited. Members have the right to break off contact and inform us in case of inappropriate behavior.

3.4 Own Responsibility for Contracts with Members

You are responsible for all contracts that you initiate or conclude with members via the platform. This includes in particular:

• The independent determination and agreement of prices and services
• The execution and processing of agreed services
• The payment of the agreed fee directly to the member
• The settlement of disputes with members
• Compliance with all legal provisions

We are not a contractual party to the contracts concluded between you and members and have no influence on their content or execution.

3.5 Payment to Members

All payments for services are made directly between you and the member. We are not involved in payment processing and do not charge any brokerage fees. The amount of the fee is agreed exclusively between you and the member.

3.6 Confidentiality and Discretion

We recommend that you maintain confidentiality regarding all information you receive in connection with the use of the platform and contact with members, insofar as this is marked as confidential or is to be treated confidentially by nature. This applies in particular to personal data and private information about members.

You are not entitled to copy, distribute or otherwise use photos, videos or other content from member profiles. The rights to this content remain with the respective members.

4. Usability of Services

4.1 Further Development of Services and Availability

We strive to adapt our services to current technical developments. We therefore reserve the right to make changes to the platform, provided that such changes do not affect the core functions and are reasonable taking into account your interests. We are also entitled to interrupt the platform operation partially or completely for the purposes of updating and maintenance within reasonable limits. We will carry out maintenance work outside of peak usage times if possible and inform you in good time. We do not guarantee the constant availability of the platform.

4.2 Technical Requirements

The use of the platform requires appropriate compatible devices, an internet connection and a current web browser. It is your responsibility to bring or keep the device into a state that enables the use of the platform.

4.3 Availability in Certain Countries

The platform is only available in countries where the use of escort services and comparable services is legally permitted. We reserve the right to restrict access to the platform from certain countries or regions. It is your responsibility to check the legality of your use in your respective country of residence.

5. Liability

5.1 Liability for Own Services

We as well as our legal representatives and vicarious agents are liable without limitation according to legal provisions:

• in case of intent and gross negligence
• in case of culpable violation of life, body or health
• according to the Austrian Product Liability Act
• within the scope of a guarantee assumed by us

In case of slight negligence in violation of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties), the fulfillment of which enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance you may regularly rely, our liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage.

Otherwise, liability on our part is excluded to the extent legally permitted.

5.2 Liability for Member Content

As the operator of the platform, we are not liable for incorrect information provided by members in their profiles. There is no ongoing review of all content posted on our platform. However, should we become aware of incorrect, inaccurate, misleading or illegal information, we will review it immediately and remove it if necessary. We assume no warranty for the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, quality or legality of content not originating from us.

5.3 No Liability for Contracts Between You and Members

We are not liable for contracts that are initiated or concluded between you and members via the platform. We are not a contractual party to these contracts and have no influence on their content or execution. In particular, we are not liable for:

• The fulfillment or non-fulfillment of contracts between you and members
• The quality, safety or legality of the services offered or provided
• The accuracy of information provided by members
• Damages arising in connection with the provision of services (except for damages to life, body or health)
• Disputes between you and members
• Financial losses due to fraud or deception by members

You acknowledge that you act at your own risk when contacting members or using services.

6. Data Protection

The protection of your personal data is important to us. We process your data exclusively on the basis of legal provisions, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act.

Detailed information about the type, scope and purpose of data processing as well as about your rights can be found in our privacy policy at www.scorty.eu/de/datenschutz.

We use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics with Consent Mode v2 to be EU-GDPR compliant. You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time via our cookie banner.

7. Notices and Complaints

Should you notice incorrect, misleading or illegal content on the platform or should problems arise with members, we ask you to inform us immediately at office@scorty.eu. We will review your notices and take measures if necessary.

Please note that we are not able to mediate or arbitrate disputes between you and members. Such disputes must be settled directly between the parties.

7.1 Alternative Dispute Resolution

We are neither legally obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.

8. Final Provisions

8.1 Jurisdiction

For claims against you as a consumer, only your place of residence court is competent. For your claims against us, you can choose either your place of residence court or our court at the business location in Wolfsberg, Austria.

8.2 Applicable Law

Austrian law applies to the exclusion of the UN Sales Law and international private law. If you have your habitual residence in another EU member state, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of the state in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected by this choice of law and apply additionally, insofar as they grant you more extensive protection.

8.3 Severability Clause

Should individual provisions of these terms of use be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory regulation replaces the invalid provision.
