1. Subject matter of the contract

Participation in custlab serves the purpose of market and opinion research in return for payment. For the purpose of executing the contract custlab will collect different personal data of the Participant. custlab is commissioned by various companies (custlab's customers) to conduct surveys and / or product tests. Here, customers request specific target groups on which the survey and / or the product test should be aimed at. custlab will group Participants according to specific target groups in aggregated form. Using this data - without the customer being able to establish a personal reference to the Participant - the Participant will be designated from time to time by e-mail to participate in surveys and / or to participate in product tests in exchange for remuneration. The results of these surveys will be transmitted by custlab to its customers without any personal reference being established. Participation in custlab without providing specific personal data is therefore not possible. custlab will be unable to select the Participant for certain surveys and / or product tests without the provision of certain personal data. You can find more details on the collection and storage of your personal data in our Privacy Policy (https://www.custlab.com/en/privacy) and in the respective Declarations of Consent.

2. Registration

a. By registering with custlab, the Participant warrants that he or she is at least 14 years old. Furthermore, the Participant warrants that the information provided by him/her is truthful and correct. If the Participant is under 14 years of age, consent must be given by a parent or guardian. If no confirmation is received, the account remains inactive.

b. When registering, the Participant shall determine a user name and password. The Participant will not disclose his personal access data to third parties.

c. Before completing the registration, the Participant will carefully read these Terms and Conditions of Participation, the Privacy Policy and the necessary Declarations of Consent and confirm them by clicking on the corresponding click boxes. The Participant will then receive an e-mail message containing a link to confirm the registration. Afterwards, the customer will be able to log in into "custlab.com" using his or her access data.

d. In the customer profile, the Participant will fill out the basic survey if possible. Participation in custlab is also possible without providing these additional details. However, the Participant is aware that in this case he or she can only be assigned to a general target group - consisting of age and place of residence - which will have a detrimental effect on invitations to surveys and / or product tests.

e. The customer profile also offers the Participant the opportunity to view his/her current credit balance, which he/she has earned through participation in surveys. Furthermore, the Participant can request a payout of his/her credit - see section 7.

3. Obligations of the Participant

a. The Participant is obliged to provide accurate and truthful information when registering. If the Participant takes part in surveys and / or product tests, he will provide meaningful information there as far as possible.

  • spying on other subscribers' access data or gaining unauthorized access to other subscribers' profiles;
  • registering with multiple names and/or e-mail addresses in order to participate in a disproportionate number of surveys;
  • executing surveys twice to receive double compensation;
  • defaming, insulting, harassing other Participants, threatening other Participants or violating their rights (such as personal rights) in any way;
  • publishing, distributing or disseminating inappropriate, racist, defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent or unlawful content, themes, names, material, files or information;
