The Internet platform https://www.happy-houses.com is operated by Happy House GmbH based in Eschenheimer Anlage 1, 60316 Frankfurt am Main (hereinafter “Happy House” or “we”). With this website we want to inform companies and other visitors (hereinafter “users”) of our website about our services.

Happy House is an interactive online portal for brokering (buying or renting) so-called tiny houses. Use is initially made available free of charge. A transaction fee is only due when a contract (purchase or rental) is concluded between users. The subject of the contract is the publication, not the mediation of purchase/sale or rental/rental opportunities.

Happy House enables access and use of the portal on the basis of these General Terms and Conditions (GTC). These terms and conditions regulate the relationship between Happy House as the operator of the portal and the registering users. We ourselves are neither contractual partners nor mediators of contracts. These are exclusively concluded between the users of this portal. Any claims from and in connection with the use of this portal concluded contracts exist exclusively between the users.

§ 1Conclusion of the user contract

1.1 Users have the option of registering on the website free of charge (= creating a user account) in order to be able to access the full range of services. A prerequisite for registering and maintaining the user relationship is truthful and complete information about the user. This applies in particular to his active e-mail address.

1.2 When registering, the user can freely choose his password. 

1.3 The contract of use between Happy House and the user is only concluded after the user has sent the registration form (contract offer) and we have then confirmed the registration (acceptance of the offer) by e-mail.

§ 2  Description of Services

2.1 We provide users worldwide with an independent portal that enables its users to search for purchase/sale opportunities, rental/rental opportunities and other services provided by other users and to conclude corresponding contracts with one another. 

2.2 Use is only possible after registration. 

2.3 Conclusion of contract

The publication of a service offer via Happy House by the user (provider) offering the service does not constitute a legally binding offer to conclude a contract, but rather an invitation to the interested user (prospective customer) to submit a corresponding offer to conclude a contract, which is still the Acceptance by the provider is required. Only the offer of the interested party represents a legally binding offer. As soon as the provider confirms the offer of the interested party, the contract between the two users is concluded. If the provider does not confirm the offer or rejects the offer, this is considered a rejection of the offer. The interested party cannot assert any claims against the provider.

The contracts concluded via Happy House exist exclusively between the respective users (suppliers and interested parties). We are not party to these contracts.

2.4 Payment

The payment of the fee agreed between the users does not take place via Happy House. Rather, the users themselves are exclusively responsible for the payment process and the settlement of the invoice amounts. 

2.5 Rental Bookings, Cancellations and Deadlines

booking confirmation

Users (interested parties) can reserve an offer (booking request) via the booking system. In this case, a booking (transaction) is made when the provider confirms the booking request of the interested party (booking confirmation).

Consequence when time elapses

If the provider does not accept the booking request from the interested party, no booking will be made.

Withdrawal and rejection:

If the provider has not yet confirmed the prospect’s booking request, the prospect can withdraw it at any time (withdrawal). If the provider rejects a booking request (rejection), no booking is made.

2.6 Conflicts

Users are obliged to participate as best as possible in the clarification of conflicts affecting them. The conflict talks are conducted by the affected users themselves.

Happy House offers the possibility of logging individual transactions, insofar as this is permitted by data protection law. This can be used to arbitrate between users if there are any discrepancies between users. If, for example, the offer/order acceptance of a user cannot be presented ideally due to restrictions that the portal does not offer and this leads to misunderstandings, problems and possibly even loss or damage, the users themselves are solely responsible for this. Offers/order acceptances must therefore be fully checked by the users themselves to ensure that they are correct.

§ 3 Transaction Fee

When a contract is concluded, Happy House charges a transaction fee. The transaction fee is up to [?] 10% of the order amount for providers of tiny houses and other trades, up to [?] 12% of the overnight price for landlords and up to [?] 1% of the financing amount for financial service providers. 

§ 4  User Obligations

4.1 User Data

Every user is obliged to provide truthful user data. This also includes the obligation to always keep this data up to date and to inform Happy House immediately of any changes. This applies both to the personal data of the user as well as to the data of his respective offers and in particular also the bank and contact details required for the use of the portal, the mobile phone number, the e-mail address, etc. 

The users registered on the Happy House platform and their user data can be viewed by other users. Offers, prices and conditions posted on the portal can only be viewed by the respective contractual partner.

The user is aware of this; he consents to the publication of his data. In the event of internet misuse (data theft, data scraping, etc.), Happy House assumes no liability in accordance with Section 11.

4.2 Code of Conduct

Every user undertakes to observe the applicable law without restriction when using Happy House. 

It is expressly forbidden to register third parties on the platform without their knowledge and consent or to publish content on Happy House in their name.

§ 5  Rights to Content

5.2 With regard to the content and materials used, each user must ensure that these are free of third-party rights and do not infringe any third-party rights. Every user releases Happy House from third-party claims that are raised against Happy House because of the content and materials posted by him or because of his user behavior, including the reasonable costs of legal defense caused by this.

§ 6  Guarantee of availability and monitoring of the content

6.1 Scope of Warranty

Happy House assumes no liability for the constant and proper operation or the uninterrupted usability or accessibility of the platform, since disruptions to the server or fluctuations in the quality of access to Happy House cannot be ruled out technically.

6.2 Monitoring Obligations

As a service provider within the meaning of the Telemedia Act, Happy House is not obliged to monitor the transmitted or stored information of its users or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activities. However, should Happy House gain positive knowledge of such facts, Happy House will check the facts and remove or block the illegal content immediately or reserve the right to block the user profile.

§ 7  Measures in the event of user violations

Instead of giving notice, Happy House reserves the right to exclude the user from one or more services of the offer, also with immediate effect, and/or to temporarily or permanently deactivate a user account.

Happy House is entitled to take special measures with regard to individual offers or other publications, insofar as we consider these to be necessary and appropriate. This includes in particular the deletion of offers and messages or ratings.

§ 8  Newsletter

Happy House is entitled to inform registered users about new products and offers both by e-mail and by post. This includes information regarding the portal as well as general information and offers from the company or from partners.

If the user is no longer interested in receiving the newsletter, he can unsubscribe at any time.

§ 9  Right of withdrawal

Happy House users who are consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB can revoke their registration within 14 days without giving reasons. The revocation can be made in text form (e.g. letter or e-mail). The cancellation period begins after receipt of this instruction in text form, but not before the conclusion of the contract and also not before the fulfillment of the information obligations according to Article 246 § 2 in connection with § 1 Para. 1 and 2 EGBGB as well as the obligations according to § 312g Para. 1 Clause 1 BGB in connection with Article 246 § 3 EGBGB by Happy House. The timely dispatch of the revocation is sufficient to meet the deadline. The revocation must be sent to the following address: delete@ happy-houses.com

In the event of an effective revocation, the contract of use will be terminated. The user will be blocked/deleted in the course of this. The data exchanged with other users up to this point is retained so that they can continue to reconstruct the relevant processes.

10.2 Confidentiality

All contractual partners are obliged to keep all business transactions that have become known during the cooperation confidential. The confidentiality obligation also extends beyond the registration period, provided that the business transactions have not become generally known in the meantime. The right of Happy House to use the name and logo of company users as a reference remains unaffected by the confidentiality obligation. Furthermore, unaffected by the confidentiality obligation, Happy House has the right to pass on information to affiliated companies or external consultants. 

§ 11  Limitation of Liability

11.1 Happy House is only liable to users in all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability in the event of intent and gross negligence in accordance with the statutory provisions of the Federal Republic of Germany for damages or reimbursement of wasted expenses.

11.2 In other cases, Happy House is only liable – unless otherwise regulated in 11.3 – in the event of a breach of a contractual obligation, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract of use and on the observance of which the users can regularly rely (so-called cardinal obligation), in each case limited to the Compensation for the foreseeable and typical damage. In all other cases, liability on the part of Happy House is excluded, subject to the provision in 11.3.

11.3 Any liability of Happy House for damage due to injury to life, limb or health and under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected by the above limitations and exclusions of liability.

§ 12  Final Provisions

12.1 These GTC are final with regard to Happy House’s offer. General terms and conditions of the users have no effect with regard to the user contract. This also applies in cases in which Happy House has not expressly objected to such general terms and conditions. Should individual provisions of these Happy House General Terms and Conditions be wholly or partially invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

12.2 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies exclusively to the usage contracts. If the user is a consumer and has his habitual residence in another country, the application of mandatory legal provisions of this country remains unaffected by the choice of law.

12.3 The exclusive place of jurisdiction for disputes arising from the contract of use and these GTC is Frankfurt am Main, insofar as the user is a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code, a special fund under public law or a legal entity under public law.

12.4 Happy House reserves the right to change the provisions of these terms and conditions at any time and without stating reasons, taking into account the requirements set out below. Happy House will inform the user of any changes and/or deviations from the promised service by e-mail and offer to continue the user relationship under the changed conditions. If the user does not object to the validity of the new terms and conditions within six weeks after receipt of the e-mail, the changed terms and conditions are deemed to have been agreed with the user. If the user objects to the validity of the new terms and conditions within the six-week period, Happy House is entitled to terminate the contractual relationship properly.

12.5 These terms of use and the other data of the user contract are saved by Happy House after the conclusion of the contract. The current version of the GTC is available to the user here at any time.
