Rewards Program Terms

(1) These terms govern participation in the voluntary "Rewards" program of Universal Translator (the "Program"). They supplement our General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and Privacy Policy; in case of conflict, these Program terms prevail over the GTC for matters relating to the Program.

(2) Any natural person aged 18 or older with an active Universal Translator account may participate. Participation is also possible without a paid subscription; however, a financial benefit only arises with an active subscription (see § 4).

(3) There is no entitlement to participation. We reserve the right to adjust, restrict, or terminate the Program at any time.

(1) Participants may submit publicly accessible URLs to their own content on the following platforms: YouTube video (long-form), Instagram Reel, TikTok and YouTube Short.

(2) A maximum of three (3) submissions per platform per user account is allowed over the entire lifetime of the account. A URL that has already been submitted cannot be submitted again by any other user.

(3) Submitted content must have been published by the participant themselves and must authentically mention, introduce, or show Universal Translator. Pure mentions without recognisable context, automatically generated content without any original work, and misleading or infringing content are not permitted.

(4) There is no prior editorial review. We do, however, reserve the right to retroactively invalidate or block individual submissions or accounts, or to deduct points, if these terms are breached.

(1) Points are awarded per platform:

• YouTube video (long-form): 100 points per submission
• Instagram Reel: 50 points per submission
• TikTok: 50 points per submission
• YouTube Short: 50 points per submission

(2) Tiers are determined by the cumulative point total:

• Tier 1: from 100 points – 10 % discount
• Tier 2: from 350 points – 22 % discount
• Tier 3: from 650 points – 35 % discount

(3) Points are valid for 12 months from the day of the respective submission. After this period they expire and are no longer counted toward the tier calculation. The validity period of the points thus matches the coupon duration under § 4 (1); if the relevant point total drops below a tier threshold because of expired submissions, the corresponding coupon may be removed or replaced by a lower one.

(4) A later adjustment of point values or thresholds does not apply retroactively to submissions already stored, but does affect the future calculation of the valid point total.

(5) Points are non-transferable, non-tradeable, and cannot be exchanged for cash or other benefits.

(1) If a participant reaches a tier and their account has an active Stripe subscription (status "active" or "trialing"), the discount coupon associated with the tier is automatically attached to the subscription. The discount applies to the next regular invoice and repeats for the duration defined in the coupon (currently 12 months).

(2) As long as there is no active Stripe subscription, points accumulate on the account without producing a financial benefit. When a subscription is started later, the tier matching the point total reached at that time is automatically applied.

(3) If a participant reaches a higher tier, the new coupon replaces the previously attached coupon. Other existing coupons (e.g. from invitation or partner programs) remain unaffected.

(4) The amount and application of the discount is determined solely by the coupon we have configured in Stripe. Indications in the account area are informational; in the event of discrepancies, the coupon stored on the Stripe side prevails.

(1) The following are prohibited in particular: submitting content belonging to third parties, repeatedly submitting identical or only slightly modified content, using multiple accounts to circumvent the per-platform caps, and submitting content with misleading, abusive, or unlawful references to Universal Translator.

(2) In the event of a breach, we are entitled to delete affected submissions, reduce points, remove attached coupons, exclude the account from the Program, and – in cases of serious or repeated breaches – also suspend the underlying user account. Further claims, in particular for damages, remain unaffected.

(1) To run the Program we process the following data: user account ID, submitted URL, selected platform, awarded points, submission timestamp, and – where applicable – the Stripe coupon ID, the coupon application timestamp, and the expected coupon end.

(2) The URLs are used exclusively to administer the Program (duplicate check, point scoring, abuse review). No further automated analysis of the linked content takes place.

(3) Otherwise, our general Privacy Policy applies. Program data is deleted at the latest when the user account is deleted.

(1) We may change these Program terms as well as point values, platforms, tiers, discount amounts, and coupon durations at any time with effect for the future.

(2) We will announce any termination of the Program with reasonable advance notice. Coupons already attached continue to run normally until the agreed end of the respective coupon.

(3) These terms are governed by German law. Our General Terms and Conditions apply additionally, to the extent they do not conflict with these Program terms.
