Terms and Conditions for the NX1 Partner Programme

Version 1.1 · August 2026

This English text is provided for convenience; the German Partner-AGB is the legally binding version.

1. Scope and contracting party

These terms govern the NX1 partner programme — the partner account, the partner portal at /partner and the NX1 start pages created with it (“partner start page”). The provider and contracting party is Shio Ventures GmbH, Straßburger Straße 55, 10405 Berlin, Germany, partner@nx1-app.com (see imprint) — hereinafter “NX1”.

Use of the NX1 extension and web app by end users continues to be governed by the terms of use. These partner terms take precedence in the partner relationship.

Annex 1 to these terms is the data processing agreement. It forms part of the contract and is accepted together with these terms.

Deviating or supplementary terms of the partner do not become part of the contract unless NX1 expressly agrees to them in text form.

2. Services

NX1 provides a portal in which the partner designs and publishes their own new-tab start page (tiles, colours, backgrounds, logo, widgets, search sources, news sources). Fans install this start page voluntarily via a link; for them it is free of charge.

Included free of charge:

Premium (paid) additionally unlocks:

The scope of services continues to evolve. NX1 may add, change or discontinue features as long as the contractual core — creating, publishing and delivering a partner start page — remains intact. NX1 announces material restrictions at least 30 days in advance in text form; in that case the partner may terminate the paid part with effect from the change.

3. Account, sign-in, information provided

The partner account is created via an email address; sign-in is passwordless using a single-use code valid for 15 minutes. The partner ensures that only authorised persons have access to that mailbox and informs NX1 without delay of any suspected unauthorised access.

The partner provides truthful information and keeps it up to date. Contact person, partner type and country are required before the first publication; before the first payment, the partner additionally confirms whether they are acting as a business (clause 5). NX1 does not collect billing and payment data itself; this is done by the payment service provider used.

There is no entitlement to the creation or continuation of a partner account.

4. Trial and promotional codes

Newly created partner accounts receive a free trial of 30 days with the full Premium scope. The trial requires no payment details and does not need to be cancelled: it ends automatically. Afterwards the start page continues free of charge; Premium features pause until the partner actively books Premium.

Promotional codes extend the trial; they do not grant a price reduction. A code is appended to an end date that is still running. At most two codes may be redeemed per account, and free time is capped at twelve months in total from the start of the trial. Codes may be limited in quantity, time-limited or deactivated; there is no entitlement to redemption. Creating multiple accounts in order to obtain the trial again entitles NX1 to suspend the account.

5. Prices, payment, term and termination

Premium costs €99 per month or €990 per year when paid annually (two months free). Each channel beyond the one included per platform costs an additional €5 per month. All prices are exclusive of applicable VAT. The price shown at the time of ordering applies.

Payment is made in advance per billing period via our payment service provider Stripe (card, SEPA direct debit and other payment methods offered there). Billing address, VAT ID and payment details are collected directly by Stripe; invoices are provided there. If payment fails despite renewed collection attempts, NX1 may suspend the Premium features after notice and a reasonable grace period; the start page continues in the free tier.

Monthly plan: The term is one month and renews by one further month unless terminated. Termination is possible at any time and takes effect at the end of the current billing month.

Annual plan: The minimum term is twelve months. Termination is possible at any time and takes effect at the end of the current term. Unless terminated, the annual plan renews for further twelve-month periods. If the partner is a consumer, it instead continues for an indefinite period after the minimum term and may be terminated at any time with one month's notice; amounts prepaid for periods after the end of the contract are refunded proportionately.

Termination is possible in the portal (account → billing), via the payment provider's customer portal linked there, or in text form to partner@nx1-app.com. The partner may close the free partner account at any time without notice. The right of both parties to terminate for cause remains unaffected.

NX1 announces price changes at least 30 days before they take effect, in text form. If the partner does not object before they take effect, the new price applies; if the partner objects, the paid part ends at that point in time.

Businesses and consumers. The partner programme is aimed at businesses (entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 of the German Civil Code). Before the first payment the partner confirms whether they are acting as a business. If they are acting as a consumer, clause 13 applies in addition.

6. Publication and approval

The first publication of a start page is reviewed by NX1 before it becomes publicly accessible. NX1 decides on approval at its reasonable discretion and states the reason for any refusal. Subsequent changes to an already approved start page are not reviewed again in advance; NX1 may object to them afterwards.

NX1 may suspend a start page in whole or in part, or withdraw its publication, where there is reasonable suspicion of a breach of clause 7, where a court or authority so requires, or where delivery becomes technically or economically unreasonable. NX1 informs the partner without delay and, where possible, gives them the opportunity to remedy the issue.

7. Partner content

The partner remains responsible for all content they add or feed in via connected channels — images, logos, texts, links, campaigns, channel posts. They warrant that they hold the necessary rights and do not infringe the rights of third parties. They confirm this warranty in the portal before the first publication.

Content is not permitted where it

No rewards for installing. The partner must not tie installation of the NX1 extension to any consideration — no money, prize draws, codes, in-game items or other benefits advertised in return for the act of installing. This is not an NX1 invention but a requirement of the distribution platforms; a breach endangers the extension as a whole. Advertising that the start page is useful is of course permitted.

Rights of use. The partner grants NX1 the non-exclusive, territorially unrestricted right to store the content provided, to process it technically (scaling, format conversion, caching) and to deliver it to fans within the service — including display in previews, in the start-page gallery and on the landing page belonging to the start page. This right ends with the contract, subject to the technical run-off described in clause 11.

NX1 is not obliged to monitor partner content. If NX1 is notified of a specific legal infringement, clause 6 paragraph 2 applies.

Indemnity. The partner indemnifies NX1 against justified third-party claims based on a breach of this clause 7, including reasonable costs of legal defence. NX1 informs the partner of such claims without delay and does not acknowledge them without the partner’s consent.

8. Availability

NX1 operates the service with the care of a diligent provider but does not owe any particular level of availability. Maintenance, disruptions at upstream providers and force majeure may cause interruptions. Where possible, NX1 schedules planned maintenance for low-usage periods.

Start pages embed content from third-party sources (e.g. video platforms, news feeds, sports and weather data). If such a source fails or changes its terms, the corresponding display may be omitted; this does not constitute a defect of the service.

9. Figures and report

In the portal the partner sees key figures for their start page — in particular install clicks, activations and, for campaigns, impressions and clicks. Premium partners additionally receive a monthly report.

These figures are aggregated estimates for editorial orientation. They contain no personal data of fans, are approximate for technical reasons and are not a basis for billing. NX1 accepts no warranty as to their accuracy or completeness. No claims of the partner can be derived from them. The fee under clause 5 does not depend on reach.

10. Data protection

For the processing of the partner’s own data — email address, profile, use of the portal — NX1 is the controller; details are set out in the privacy policy.

Where content provided by the partner contains personal data of third parties, NX1 processes it on behalf of the partner. The data processing agreement (Annex 1) applies to this.

Usage, installation and campaign figures, and server-side measurement of operations generally, are processed by NX1 as its own controller for the purposes of operating, debugging and improving the service. The partner receives only aggregated figures without identifiers (clause 9); the partner has no right to issue instructions in this respect.

11. End of contract and what happens afterwards

When the contract ends:

12. Warranty and liability

NX1 is liable without limitation for damage arising from injury to life, body or health, for intent and gross negligence, for fraudulent concealment of a defect, to the extent of any guarantee given, and under the German Product Liability Act.

In cases of simple negligence NX1 is liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation — an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the partner may regularly rely — and limited in amount to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Vis-à-vis businesses, liability in such cases is additionally limited to the total fees paid in the twelve months preceding the damaging event. Liability is otherwise excluded.

NX1 is not liable for third-party content, for the failure of external sources (clause 8) or for the commercial success of the partner start page. The partner backs up their content on their own responsibility; NX1 does not owe them any data backup.

Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

13. Right of withdrawal for consumers

This clause applies only if the partner is a consumer within the meaning of § 13 of the German Civil Code, i.e. acting predominantly for private purposes. Businesses have no right of withdrawal.

Withdrawal notice

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of conclusion of the contract. To exercise your right of withdrawal you must inform us — Shio Ventures GmbH, Straßburger Straße 55, 10405 Berlin, Germany, partner@nx1-app.com — by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an email) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. To meet the withdrawal deadline it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Consequences of withdrawal: If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the day on which we receive notification of your withdrawal. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no event will you be charged any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

Early commencement of performance: If you requested that performance begin during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount proportionate to what has been provided until the time you informed us of your withdrawal, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

The free trial under clause 4 is free of charge; withdrawal there has no financial consequences and no compensation for value is payable.

Model withdrawal form

If you want to withdraw from the contract, you may fill in this form and send it back to us (it is not mandatory):

To Shio Ventures GmbH, Straßburger Straße 55, 10405 Berlin, Germany, partner@nx1-app.com:

— Ordered on (*): _______________
— Name of consumer(s): _______________
— Address of consumer(s): _______________
— Signature of consumer(s) (only if this form is notified on paper), date: _______________
(*) Delete as appropriate.

14. Changes to these terms

NX1 may amend these terms where this is prompted by a change in the law, case law, the scope of services or technical conditions, and where this does not unreasonably disadvantage the partner. NX1 announces changes at least 30 days before they take effect, in text form, together with a notice of the right to object and the consequences of remaining silent. If the partner does not object before the change takes effect, the new version applies; if the partner objects, either party may terminate the contract with effect from the change. Every version carries a number; NX1 evidences which version the partner accepted via the timestamp in the partner account.

15. Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If the partner is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Berlin, Germany. Mandatory consumer protection provisions and the statutory place of jurisdiction for consumers remain unaffected.

The partner may transfer rights and obligations under this contract to third parties only with NX1’s consent. Should any provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr). NX1 is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
