1.1. In these Terms of Service (hereinafter referred to as “Terms”, “Agreement”, or “Contract”), the following definitions shall apply unless the context otherwise requires:
1.2. Words importing the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. Words importing any gender shall include all genders. References to statutory provisions shall be construed as references to those provisions as amended, re-enacted, or replaced from time to time.
1.3. Headings and sub-headings in these Terms are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of these Terms.
2.1. These Terms govern the entirety of the contractual relationship between the Service Provider and the Client with respect to all services offered through the Platform. By accessing the Platform, placing an Order, or otherwise using any services provided by ThesisDraft, the Client unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to be bound by these Terms in their entirety.
2.2. Any terms and conditions submitted by the Client that deviate from, conflict with, or supplement these Terms are hereby expressly rejected, unless the Service Provider has explicitly agreed to their applicability in writing.
2.3. These Terms apply to consumers within the meaning of § 13 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, “BGB”) as well as to entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 BGB, unless a specific provision indicates otherwise.
2.4. The Service Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. The amended Terms shall be published on the Platform and shall take effect upon publication. Continued use of the Platform following the publication of amended Terms constitutes the Client's acceptance of such amended Terms.
3.1. The presentation of services on the Platform does not constitute a binding offer within the meaning of § 145 BGB but rather an invitation to the Client to submit an offer (invitatio ad offerendum).
3.2. By completing the order process and executing payment through the Platform's integrated payment processor (Stripe), the Client submits a binding offer to purchase the selected Draft service in accordance with these Terms.
3.3. The contract between the Service Provider and the Client is formed upon the Service Provider's acceptance of the Client's offer, which shall be communicated via an order confirmation sent to the email address provided by the Client. The mere acknowledgment of receipt of the order does not constitute acceptance.
3.4. The Service Provider reserves the right to decline any Order at its sole and absolute discretion, without obligation to provide reasons therefor. In such cases, any payment already rendered shall be refunded in full without undue delay.
3.5. The contract language is English. German-language versions of these Terms may be provided for convenience; in the event of any discrepancy, the English version shall prevail unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise.
4.1. ThesisDraft provides academic draft documents that are intended exclusively as reference material, structural guidance, and research orientation aids (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Reference Material”). The Deliverables serve as templates and orientation documents to assist the Client in the preparation of their own independent academic work.
4.2. The Service Provider expressly does not provide ghostwriting services. The Deliverables are not intended, designed, or suitable for direct submission to any educational institution, examination body, or academic authority as the Client's own original work.
4.3. The scope of each Draft is determined by the service tier selected by the Client at the time of order:
4.4. The Service Provider shall exercise reasonable professional diligence in the preparation of Deliverables. However, the Service Provider does not warrant or guarantee: (a) the academic correctness, completeness, or suitability of any Draft for any particular purpose; (b) that sources cited in the Draft are exhaustive or represent the entirety of available scholarship on the given topic; (c) that the Draft will meet the specific requirements, expectations, or grading criteria of any educational institution; or (d) that the use of the Draft will result in any particular academic outcome.
5.1. Upon full payment of the agreed price and subject to the terms herein, the Service Provider grants the Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, perpetual license to use the Deliverable solely as reference material for the Client's own academic purposes.
5.2. The Service Provider retains all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to copyright (Urheberrecht) pursuant to the German Copyright Act (Urheberrechtsgesetz, “UrhG”), moral rights, and any other proprietary rights in and to the Deliverables. The Client acknowledges that the Deliverables constitute protected works within the meaning of § 2 UrhG.
5.3. The Client shall not, without the prior written consent of the Service Provider: (a) reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or make publicly available the Deliverable or any portion thereof; (b) create derivative works based on the Deliverable; (c) sublicense, sell, lease, lend, or otherwise transfer the Deliverable to any third party; or (d) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices contained in the Deliverable.
5.4. Any unauthorized use of the Deliverable constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and may give rise to claims for injunctive relief and damages under applicable law, including §§ 97 et seq. UrhG.
6.1. All prices displayed on the Platform are denominated in Euros (EUR) and are inclusive of the applicable statutory value-added tax (Umsatzsteuer) pursuant to the German Value Added Tax Act (Umsatzsteuergesetz, “UStG”), unless otherwise expressly stated.
6.2. Payment is due in full at the time of order placement and is processed exclusively through the third-party payment processor Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”). The Service Provider does not directly collect, process, or store the Client's payment card data. The Client's use of Stripe is subject to Stripe's own terms of service and privacy policy.
6.3. The obligation to pay arises upon the formation of the contract pursuant to § 3 of these Terms. The Service Provider shall not commence work on the Deliverable until payment has been received and confirmed in full.
6.4. The Client shall bear all costs associated with payment transactions, including but not limited to currency conversion fees, bank transfer charges, or other intermediary costs, unless otherwise required by mandatory applicable law.
6.5. In the event of a chargeback initiated by the Client without prior communication with the Service Provider, the Service Provider reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Client's access to the Platform and to pursue all available legal remedies, including recovery of the disputed amount plus reasonable administrative costs.
7.1. The Service Provider shall deliver the completed Draft to the email address provided by the Client within the following indicative timeframes:
7.2. The delivery timelines specified in § 7.1 are non-binding estimates and do not constitute guaranteed delivery dates within the meaning of § 286(2) No. 1 BGB. The Service Provider shall make commercially reasonable efforts to adhere to the stated timelines but shall not be liable for delays arising from circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
7.3. Delivery shall be deemed completed upon the transmission of the Deliverable to the email address provided by the Client. The risk of non-receipt due to incorrect email addresses, spam filters, storage limitations, or other technical factors attributable to the Client shall be borne solely by the Client.
8.1. The Service Provider shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such failure or delay results from events, circumstances, or causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God; natural disasters; epidemics or pandemics; war, terrorism, or civil unrest; governmental actions, sanctions, or embargoes; labor disputes or strikes; failures of third-party services, infrastructure, or telecommunications; cyberattacks, data breaches, or system failures; or any other event constituting force majeure under applicable German law.
8.2. In the event of a force majeure event persisting for more than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, either party may terminate the affected Order by written notice, and the Service Provider shall refund any payment received for undelivered Drafts on a pro rata basis.
9.1. The Client may request Revisions to a delivered Draft within fourteen (14) calendar days of delivery, subject to the revision entitlements included in their selected service tier as specified in § 4.3.
9.2. A Revision request must be submitted in writing (email to contact@morphica.de) and must contain a clear and specific description of the requested modifications. Vague, ambiguous, or fundamentally restructuring requests that exceed the scope of the original Order may be treated as new Orders at the Service Provider's sole discretion.
9.3. The Service Provider shall deliver completed Revisions within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of a compliant Revision request, subject to the qualifications set forth in §§ 7.2 and 8 of these Terms.
9.4. Additional Revisions beyond the complimentary entitlement are available at the Service Provider's then-current revision fee, which shall be communicated to the Client upon request.

10.2. Withdrawal Period: The Client may withdraw from the contract without giving any reason within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of contract formation.

10.3. Consequences of Withdrawal: In the event of a valid withdrawal, the Service Provider shall reimburse all payments received from the Client without undue delay and no later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the date on which the Service Provider received notification of the Client's withdrawal. The reimbursement shall be made using the same payment method originally used by the Client, unless expressly agreed otherwise. No fees shall be charged as a result of the reimbursement.
10.4. Expiration of the Right of Withdrawal: The right of withdrawal expires prematurely if the Service Provider has fully performed the service and the Client has given prior express consent to the commencement of performance and has acknowledged that the right of withdrawal will be lost upon complete performance of the contract, pursuant to § 356(4) BGB.
10.5. Refund for Non-Conformity: Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the delivered Draft does not substantially conform to the specifications agreed upon in the Order, the Client shall be entitled to a full refund within fourteen (14) calendar days of delivery, provided that the Client notifies the Service Provider of the non-conformity in writing and provides sufficient detail to substantiate the claim.
11.1. The Service Provider shall bear unlimited liability for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health attributable to an intentional or negligent breach of duty by the Service Provider, its legal representatives, or its vicarious agents, in accordance with §§ 823, 831 BGB.

11.3. In the event of a negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (wesentliche Vertragspflicht / Kardinalpflicht), the Service Provider's liability shall be limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damages. Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is essential to the proper execution of the contract and upon whose compliance the Client may regularly rely.
11.4. Subject to §§ 11.1 through 11.3, the Service Provider's aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall in no event exceed the total amount paid by the Client for the specific Order giving rise to the claim.
11.5. The Service Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of academic standing, reputational damage, or any other pecuniary or non-pecuniary loss, regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or whether the Service Provider was advised of the possibility thereof.
11.6. The Service Provider expressly disclaims all liability for any consequences arising from the Client's use or misuse of the Deliverables, including but not limited to: academic misconduct proceedings, grade penalties, expulsion, degree revocation, or any other adverse academic or professional consequences.

13.1. Each party undertakes to keep confidential all information obtained from the other party in connection with this Agreement that is designated as confidential or that, by its nature, should reasonably be considered confidential (“Confidential Information”).
13.2. The obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was already known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or order of a competent authority.
13.3. The obligation of confidentiality shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years.
14.1. The Service Provider processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy, which is available at thesisdraft.com/legal/privacy and forms an integral part of these Terms.
14.2. The Client acknowledges and consents to the processing of personal data as described in the Privacy Policy to the extent required for the performance of this Agreement and in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, “GDPR”) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, “BDSG”).
15.1. These Terms and any disputes arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the conflict-of-laws rules of German private international law.

For Clients who are consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB and who are domiciled in a Member State of the European Union, the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 (Brussels Ia Regulation) regarding consumer contracts shall apply. Nothing in these Terms shall deprive such consumers of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of their habitual residence.
15.4. The European Commission provides a platform for Online Dispute Resolution (ODR), accessible at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. The Service Provider is neither obligated nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
16.1. Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid, unenforceable, or void in whole or in part, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision that most closely reflects the economic purpose and intent of the invalid provision (salvatorische Klausel).
16.2. The same shall apply in the event that these Terms contain an unintended gap (Vertragslücke).
17.1. No failure or delay by the Service Provider in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy.
17.2. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Order confirmation, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written.
