Dangerous rules: Why active Lyconet marketers should be especially vigilant now!!!
Nothing will change for injured parties who have already submitted a claim and were no longer active, especially since the Austrian Supreme Court of Justice has already declared the previous terms and conditions to be non-transparent and void. In particular, the court clearly rejected the fiction of marketers being considered entrepreneurs, which made it necessary to introduce new terms and conditions to hold marketers more accountable and to avoid having to legally treat future injured parties as consumers.
Why active Lyconet marketers should be especially vigilant now
What about active and undecided marketers – those who are unsure whether they will continue to refer paying members to the Lyconet system as marketers? They need to be particularly vigilant. It is important to be aware of the risks and consequences of the new contractual conditions. The decision is yours.
We recommend that undecided marketers now take legal action to enforce their demands and not to agree to the changes. The new contractual conditions have a significant impact on the activities and legal status of marketers.
The following points should be emphasized:
Identification as ‘independent Lyconet marketer’
Every marketer is obliged to identify themselves as an ‘independent Lyconet marketer’ on all platforms, whether it is a website, social media, or other marketing channels. This is to shield Lyconet from any legal responsibility.
Limitation of claims after 12 months Claims become time-barred after 12 months. Another critical point is the shortened limitation period for claims against Lyconet. All claims become time-barred after just 12 months, making it more difficult for marketers to take action against breaches of contract in the long term.
Increased risk for marketers
With the new terms of service, much of the risk is shifted to the marketers. There are strict rules and high demands, and failure to comply can result in serious consequences such as the freezing of payouts or the blocking of the back office.
Authorization requirement for websites and content
Every website, social media use, or advertising measure must be approved in writing by Lyconet. Marketers are not allowed to create or distribute their own content without this approval. This means that all activities must be continuously monitored and regulated.
Monitoring and constant control
Lyconet strictly monitors activities. All content created by marketers is subject to control and must be approved in advance. Violations of these rules can result in serious consequences, including contractual penalties or exclusion from the system.
Confidentiality obligation – even after the contract has ended
Marketers are required to keep all Lyconet business and trade secrets confidential – even after the contract has ended. This regulation significantly restricts the freedom of marketers and highlights the extent of Lyconet’s control.
It is crucial that marketers carefully assess their situation and make an informed decision. If you are still unsure, we are always here to support [email protected] you in finding the best path forward!
