Terms and Conditions
Last updated: September 22, 2026
Terms and conditions for using Blog-Maker.com and Blog-Maker.de.
1. Scope
These Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts between Digital Mind Agency Ltd. (the 'Provider') and consumers or businesses (the 'User') concluded via the platform blog-maker.com or blog-maker.de. Diverging conditions of the User are not accepted unless the Provider explicitly agrees in writing.
2. Contracting party
Contracting party is Digital Mind Agency Ltd., Evagora Pallikaridi 38, 8010 Paphos, Cyprus, registered in the Cypriot company registry under HE 428155, represented by Oliver Albrecht. Contact: hello@blog-maker.com.
3. Service description
Blog-Maker is a Software-as-a-Service platform for AI-assisted creation of SEO-optimized blog articles and product descriptions. The platform offers a 7-pass pipeline (research, keywords and meta data, draft, quality review, rewrite, compliance check, polish), brand voice training, direct publishing to WordPress and mylandingpage.ai, optional automation, and further features per chosen plan. Full feature description per plan at https://blog-maker.com/en#pricing or https://blog-maker.de/de#pricing.
4. Conclusion of contract
By registering an account and choosing a plan (FREE, BASIC, PRO, PARTNER) the User makes a binding offer. The contract is concluded once the Provider activates the account. For paid plans, payment is processed via Stripe Payments Europe Ltd.
5. Plans, prices, and payment
Current prices appear in the pricing section. Monthly and yearly billing are available (yearly = approx. 80% of monthly times 12). All prices are net; statutory VAT is added where applicable. Payment is made in advance via credit card or SEPA through Stripe. The contract auto-renews for the same billing period unless cancelled at least 14 days before the start of the next period. FREE-Tier: 1 article per calendar month, quota resets on the 1st day of each month, no auto-charge, no automatic upgrade. Unused quota expires at month-end.
5a. Backlink discount program
Users may voluntarily join the backlink discount program (activation in the dashboard under 'Save 10%'). Upon participation, the Provider grants a 10 percent discount on the current plan, for as long as the condition is met: every article the Provider publishes for the User carries a discreet, dofollow backlink to blog-maker.com. The discount applies automatically upon activation, with no separate coupon code, and runs as an ongoing Stripe discount on the subscription. The Provider automatically checks weekly whether the backlink is present on published articles. If the backlink is found missing on one check, the User receives a warning by email. If it remains missing on the next check as well, the discount is automatically removed, and the User is notified by email. The User may deactivate participation in the dashboard at any time, or reactivate it after removal; reactivation requires the backlink to be present again on the affected articles (including articles manually embedded on external systems, see the snippet box in the dashboard). There is no retroactive discount for billing periods already invoiced before activation. The Provider reserves the right to change or discontinue the discount program with reasonable notice; discounts already granted for the current billing period remain unaffected.
6. Term, cancellation, no refunds
The contract runs until the end of the billing period (monthly or yearly). Cancellation is possible any time without login via the cancellation page ('Verträge hier kündigen', /kuendigung) or in the dashboard, effective at the end of the current billing period. NO pro-rata refunds: booked plans remain fully invoiced for the billing period regardless of actual usage. The service is provided; unused quota is neither refunded nor carried over. The Provider may terminate the contract for cause without notice (e.g., material breach of these terms, platform abuse, outstanding payment per Section 7).
7. Payment delay
On payment delay after due date the following steps apply: (1) Day 1: First payment reminder via email. (2) After 7 days without payment: service deactivation. The User can no longer use the platform until payment is received but retains read-only access to data. (3) After another 7 days (Day 14 from due date) without payment: extraordinary contract termination by the Provider. Payments already made are not refunded (see Section 6). On repeated payment defaults, the Provider reserves the right to refuse future contract offers from the User.
8. Right of withdrawal for consumers
Consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU). The period starts at conclusion of contract (Article 9(1)(a) of the Directive). Withdrawal is informal via hello@blog-maker.com; an unambiguous statement is sufficient. At paid checkout, the consumer expressly requests that the Provider begin performance before the withdrawal period has ended, and at the same time acknowledges that doing so results in loss of the right of withdrawal (Article 16(a) and 16(m) of the Directive). Because Blog-Maker is provided as an ongoing subscription service, this loss of the right does not depend on "full" performance of the entire contract, but occurs once the relevant performance begins following this express consent, for example once the first article is generated within the 14-day period. This is implemented in Germany through Sections 355 and 356 of the German Civil Code (BGB); users resident in another EU member state are covered by that state's national implementation of the same Directive. You can fill in and submit a model withdrawal form on our withdrawal page (optional, an informal withdrawal remains equally valid).
9. Availability (Service Level)
The Provider aims for 99.5 percent availability per calendar month (max approx. 3.6 hours of outage per month). Scheduled maintenance is announced at least 24 hours in advance via email and does not count as outage. Tiered credit on actual availability below 99.5 percent: between 99.5 and 98 percent the Provider grants on written request a credit of 5 percent of the monthly fee. Between 98 and 95 percent: 15 percent credit. Below 95 percent: 30 percent credit. Credits are applied to the next invoice, not paid out. No direct claim for damages exists; the credit is exhaustive.
10. User obligations
The User is responsible for topics, brand voice inputs, research sources, and published content. The User may not use the platform to create content that: violates applicable law, infringes third-party rights, contains medical claims without scientific basis, promotes hate or violence, constitutes spam, or generates doorway pages. For repeated violations the Provider may terminate the account without refund.
10a. Uploaded images
(1) You may upload images only for uses for which you have the necessary rights; depending on the use, these include rights in the image and rights of people shown. AI description or AI editing takes place only when the corresponding feature is enabled and you separately request it. (2) You grant us the non-exclusive rights necessary for the particular request: technical checking, storage, orientation, format conversion and insertion into your article, and publication to your chosen destination. Only a separate AI request includes the necessary transmission to the providers named in the Privacy Policy and the requested processing. This does not grant rights to use your images for advertising or general AI model training; we do not use them for other customers' articles. This does not exclude commissioned service providers or publication you request. (3) We carry out technical checks and handle notices of possible infringements; this does not replace checking your rights of use. Notices can be submitted through the reporting mechanism linked on our website or hello@blog-maker.com. We assess them and take necessary, targeted measures, and communicate decisions, reasons and available remedies as required by law. Blocking or deletion within Blog-Maker does not automatically remove copies on external systems; you must separately remove copies on your own website where removal is required. Blog-Maker's own statutory duties remain unaffected. (4) If you breach paragraph 1 and are responsible for that breach under the applicable statutory fault standard, you indemnify us against justified third-party claims resulting from it, including reasonable necessary legal defence costs, to the extent we are not ourselves responsible for the claim. We inform you without undue delay and coordinate defence measures with you; we will not enter a settlement burdening you without your consent. Statutory burdens of proof and our statutory liability under Section 13 are not restricted by this. (5) We display an appropriate label for a result actually edited or generated by AI; you observe applicable statutory disclosure duties when publishing it. Mere technical conversion of an upload is not AI editing. A provenance indication from Blog-Maker proves neither ownership nor lawfulness. (6) A provenance log records actions performed as described in the Privacy Policy; it does not replace evidence of rights.
11. AI-generated content: disclaimer and liability exclusion
Blog-Maker uses the Anthropic Claude API (USA, with GDPR Standard Contractual Clauses) for text generation. All generated articles, product descriptions, and suggestions are AI output and serve only as a basis and idea for the User. The Provider gives NO warranty for: (a) factual accuracy, (b) completeness, (c) timeliness, (d) originality, (e) plagiarism freedom, (f) compliance with industry-specific regulations (e.g., medical claims law, MiFID), (g) SEO ranking success, (h) conversion or sales results. The platform's compliance check is an aid and does NOT replace legal or expert opinion. Before publishing any AI output, the User is required to: (1) verify factual accuracy, (2) perform plagiarism check, (3) optionally check industry-specific compliance, (4) adjust the text to brand and language as needed. The Provider is NOT liable for damages arising from unmodified or unchecked publication of AI outputs.
12. Copyright of generated content
Articles and product descriptions created with the platform become the User's property upon publication. The User holds usage rights for own and commercial use. The Provider claims no rights to User-generated content. The User is responsible for plagiarism checks, third-party copyrights, and factual accuracy (see Section 11).
13. Liability limitation
The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for damages from injury to life, body, or health. For slight negligence the Provider is liable only for breach of essential contractual obligations, limited to typical foreseeable damage, and at most up to the fees paid by the User in the last 12 months. Liability for lost profits, consequential damages, data loss, or indirect damages is excluded to the extent permitted by law. The Provider is not liable for content the User creates or publishes using the platform (see Section 11).
14. Changes to these terms
The Provider may amend these terms with future effect if reasonable for the User. Changes are announced at least 4 weeks before they take effect via email. If the User does not object within this period, changes are deemed accepted. On objection, the Provider may terminate the contract effective on the change date.
15. Data protection
Our privacy policy at /privacy applies. It governs in particular the processing of personal data, processor relationships with Anthropic (Claude API, USA, with GDPR SCC), Stripe, Dawico Deutschland GmbH (hosting in Berlin and Frankfurt), Sentry, and data subject rights under GDPR.
16. Applicable law and jurisdiction
Cypriot law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, mandatory consumer protection rules of their country of residence remain unaffected. Place of jurisdiction for disputes with businesses (B2B) is Paphos, Cyprus, the Provider's seat. For consumers, the statutory place of jurisdiction applies.
17. Dispute resolution
We are not willing or obliged to participate in dispute settlement proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
18. Severability
Should individual provisions of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected. The invalid provision is replaced by the statutory rule.
