Terms and conditions
Govern the contractual relationship between Ufuk Dumrul (sole proprietorship, brand Lektoria) and consumers or businesses using the proofreading offer. The German version is legally binding.
§ 1 Scope
The following terms apply exclusively to all contracts between Lektoria and the ordering party for the services offered at lektoria.eu. Conflicting terms are not recognised unless Lektoria expressly agrees to them in writing.
§ 2 Subject matter and description of services
Lektoria delivers an automated academic proofreading service via a consensus process: the work is analysed and cross-checked across several independent review layers, complemented by a deterministic spelling/grammar check, and the findings are consolidated into a consensus. Delivery is an annotated PDF. No content additions, no translation, no plagiarism check.
§ 3 Conclusion of contract
The contract is concluded upon successful payment via Stripe. Until that point a non-binding offer by the ordering party exists. A confirmation is sent by email to the address provided.
§ 4 Prices
The fixed prices displayed at lektoria.eu at the time of ordering apply. All prices are in Euro and include statutory VAT.
§ 5 Payment
Payment is due immediately and exclusively via Stripe Checkout. Card data is processed exclusively by Stripe and never reaches Lektoria. If payment fails, no contract is concluded.
§ 6 Delivery
Delivery is electronic: the finished report is provided in the password-protected export area; a notification with a login link is sent by email to the address provided at checkout — generally within 1–2 hours after receipt of payment. No binding delivery guarantees are given. In case of timeout, model failure or budget exceeded, a refund is issued automatically via Stripe.
§ 7 Liability
Lektoria is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for injury to life, body or health. For slight negligence, liability is limited to compensation for the typically foreseeable damage where a material contractual obligation has been breached. Findings of the automated proofreading do not constitute legally or professionally binding advice; responsibility for the final text remains with the ordering party.
§ 8 Right of withdrawal
Consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal; details and the model withdrawal form are at /widerruf. Lektoria provides a service: if the consumer expressly requests immediate commencement at checkout and acknowledges that they lose the right of withdrawal upon full performance, the right of withdrawal expires upon full performance of the contract (§ 356(4) German Civil Code).
§ 9 Data protection
Processing of personal data is described in detail in the privacy policy at /datenschutz.
§ 10 Final provisions
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Jurisdiction is, where permissible, Bornheim. Should individual provisions be invalid, the remaining terms remain unaffected.
