a) if a candidate who has been identified using Tintto’s platform concludes an employment contract, an internship agreement, a service or subcontractor agreement or another type of agreement intended to regulate the fulfilment of a task for payment of remuneration within twelve (12) months following his or her last exchange with the company on the platform;

In any case, aside from in exceptional cases as indicated below, the company must pay the fees for Tintto’s service, irrespective of whether or not a probation period is agreed upon.
3.2 Amount and conditions of payment of the fees for the service
Tintto’s invoices are due with the beginning of the employment relationship; the invoice amount is calculated according to the type of contract concluded, and the billing method selected by the company.
Any objection by a company to the billing of service fees must be sent to Tintto in writing, providing reasons, by registered letter with confirmation of receipt within fourteen (14) days of the invoice being issued.
Alternatively, a reasonable period is agreed. In the absence of such an objection, the company is deemed to have accepted the issued invoice.
3.2.1 Conclusion of an employment contract between candidate and company
The fees of Tintto’s service are calculated on the basis of a percentage rate of the gross annual remuneration of the candidate.
The gross annual remuneration is based on the fixed gross annual remuneration, the entire variable remuneration proportion and on bonuses, annual bonuses or other benefits, which are considered parts of the candidate’s wage.
The company has the option of selecting from the two billing methods described below:
Option 1: Payment without deduction – 15% of the gross annual remuneration
The company pays an amount of 15% of the annual gross remuneration indicated in the employment contract of the hired candidate plus VAT which is immediately due on the day when the candidate joins the company.
The corresponding invoice is to be paid immediately by bank transfer or direct debit after the employment relationship begins.
Option 2: Monthly payment – 3% of the gross annual remuneration for 6 months.
The company pays fees of 3% of the gross annual remuneration of the recruited candidate monthly for a period of 6 consecutive months.
The first payment must take place by guaranteed direct debit on the day when the candidate joins the company. Any further payment takes place by guaranteed direct debit, once a month, and on a fixed date previously specified by Tintto, for six months.
The company can select this option only on the condition that it issues Tintto with a direct debit authorisation as is required to set up direct debits for monthly payments. The company undertakes to inform Tintto in the event of a change in its postal address or bank details.
If the direct debit authorisation is not provided, the ancillary fees under Option 1 are immediately due.
As soon as Tintto becomes aware that an agreement has been concluded with the candidate, the company receives an email with a link to a survey by means of which it can fill out its data and invoicing options.
If this information has been provided and the contract documentation mentioned in part 3 of section 2 of these general terms and conditions has been provided, the company will receive an email with a summary of the following points: The gross annual remuneration of the candidate, the selected billing method, the date on which the candidate started in the company, and the percentage rate of the gross annual remuneration which represents the fees for Tintto’s service.
The company is required to confirm the accuracy of this information within 14 days by clicking on the “I confirm” button included in this email.
If Tintto does not receive a reply to this email within 14 days, the points mentioned in the email are deemed to be correct and confirmed by the company. A subsequent change in the information for invoicing is no longer possible from this time.
If the designated email is not answered within 14 days, Tintto will automatically issue an invoice according to the information available without there being the option to make changes on the part of the company. The service fees under Option 1 are due immediately as standard.
3.2.2 Conclusion of an internship agreement between candidate and company
Where an internship agreement is concluded between the candidate and the company, Tintto’s fees are set as follows:
- payment to Tintto of €1,000.00 plus VAT at the beginning of the internship agreement between the candidate and the company;
- further payment to Tintto of €3,000.00 plus VAT in the event that within three (3) months of the internship agreement lapsing, an employment contract, a service or subcontractor agreement or another type of agreement is concluded with a view to rendering services for compensation.
3.2.3 Conclusion of a services or contractor agreement between candidate and company or another agreement intended to regulate work or service for compensation
The fees of Tintto’s service are calculated as the 20% of the total amount (net) calculated of the invoiced remuneration plus tax as part of the contract concluded between the company and the candidate.
If an unlimited variable fee amount is contained in the agreement, the company takes the responsibility to provide this information to Tintto, so that Tintto can propose a reasonable agreement in regards to the commission. In the case of any doubt, a minimum fee per day of €800.00 net is deemed as notionally agreed with the candidate, from which Tintto’s fees are to be calculated.
If the agreement concluded by the applicant and company is extended, or if it is followed by an employment contract, a services or contractor agreement, an internship agreement or an agreement intended to regulate the rendering of a service by the candidate for compensation, Tintto’s fees must also be paid as part of this new contract according to these terms of service.
Invoicing
For the purposes of invoicing according to point 3.2.3, the candidate must visit the platform available at the link: “www.tintto.co” once per month to fill out a working hours record in which they truthfully indicate the days worked for the company and gives information about the type of the services performed.
This timesheet is then submitted to the company for confirmation. The confirmation must be given to Tintto within a period of at most 7 days following receipt. If confirmation is not given within this period, the timesheet submitted by the candidate is deemed as unreservedly accepted by the company.
Two invoices, one with the candidate’s fee, the other with Tintto’s fees, are then issued by Tintto or by Tintto for the candidate. These invoices are sent by email to the address indicated by the company.
Payment conditions
The fees of Tintto’s service must be paid by direct debit. To this end, the company provides a direct debit authorisation by means of which Tintto receives the required authority to debit the amounts owed
Payment takes place as follows:- The company pays by direct debit, via an external payment service set up by Tintto, an amount equal to the total amount of (i) the invoice for the remuneration of the candidate and (ii) the invoice for Tintto’s fees.
- The payment provider automatically withdraws from the above-mentioned sum (i) the amount of the fees owed by the company to Tintto.
- The payment provider transfers to the candidate (i) the amount of the remuneration invoiced to the company.
Special case: Differences of opinion about fees within the framework of a service or subcontractor agreement.
Any difference of opinion between the candidate and the company about the amount of the remuneration owed to the candidate and/or the number of days worked by the candidate, which are indicated by the candidate in the timesheet, leads to the candidate and the company having to adhere to the following procedures:
- within three working days following the first occurrence of a difference of opinion, candidate and company send each other by email the reasons for their differences of opinion and all available proof for their respective viewpoints;
- if, after this three-day period, an agreement has not been reached, the candidate and company each appoint a representative and agree to contact one another in person or by telephone via these representatives in order to find an amicable agreement within three further working days;
- at the end of this period, the candidate and company will communicate the outcome of their amicable agreement to Tintto;
in the event of persistent differences of opinion, the candidate and company will resolve their disputes directly with one another in accordance with the procedure(s) of their choice and will inform Tintto of the outcome of this within a reasonable period.
In order to limit the financial consequences of such differences of opinion, it is hereby expressly agreed that the undisputed portion of the fees (that on which candidate and company agree) be collected by the payment provider as well as Tintto’s associated fees, as soon as there is an invoice from Tintto for this undisputed portion.
If for example a candidate claims to have rendered a service for 20 days, but the company believes that only 17 days have been worked, the undisputed portion of the fees is 17 days of work and Tintto’s associated fees will be collected immediately by the payment provider in accordance with the conditions specified in these general terms and conditions.
Tintto will wait on the outcome of the above described settlement procedure before issuing an invoice for the disputed period. In the event that an amicable agreement is not reached between candidate and company within a reasonable period, Tintto has the right, in the case of doubt, to apply a minimum fee per day of €800.00 net deemed as notionally agreed with the candidate, from which Tintto’s fees are to be calculated. 3.3 Disputes
Any objection by a company to the billing of service fees must be sent to Tintto in writing and justified within fourteen (14) days of the invoice being issued by registered letter with confirmation of receipt. Alternatively, a reasonable period is agreed. In the absence of such an objection, the company is deemed to have accepted the issued invoice.
3.4 Payment default
Tintto’s invoices are due immediately following receipt.
In the event of non-payment within thirty (30) days, the amounts owed will automatically and without prior request be charged interest at a rate of 9% points above the respectively applicable base interest rate.
Any amount still not paid on the due date will result in a flat-rate compensation amount of €40.00 automatically having to be paid to Tintto. According to Section 288 BGB [German Civil Code], Tintto is entitled to demand, subject to proof, an additional compensation amount if the recovery fees incurred exceed the amount of the flat-rate compensation amount.
Tintto is entitled in such case to lock the company’s account until the owed amount has been paid.

The amount of the discount corresponds to 100% for three (3) months and 50% for six (6) months, of the sum of the fees paid for the recruitment of the outgoing candidate. If, within these 12 months, there is no recruitment, the discount is lost and under no circumstances will this lead to a reimbursement for the company;
– If the company selected Option No. 2 (monthly payment): the suspensions of the direct debits in the month which follows the day on which Tintto is informed about the actual departure of the applicant from the company (without reimbursement of the fees already paid).

– that the reason for the termination relates exclusively to the qualifications, qualities, or the behaviour of the candidate;
– that the candidate was not dismissed by the company for economic reasons;

4.1 Accuracy of the information provided by the users
Although Tintto thoroughly reviews the content published by the users and reserves the right to verify, change, suspend or delete accounts associated with a profile containing inaccurate information without prior notice, Tintto does not guarantee the accuracy of this content and information.
In particular, Tintto by no means guarantees that it carries out an investigation into the experience claimed by the applicant or the information and content provided.
Tintto cannot be held liable on the basis of information and content which could prove false or unlawful.
It is therefore incumbent on the companies alone if they wish to carry out an investigation or undertake all reasonable efforts to verify the qualities, experience and references of the candidates.

The platform allows content from third party services to be published and displayed. Tintto assumes no responsibility for such content with respect to users or third parties.

In particular, Tintto cannot be held liable if the company and the candidate do not fulfil the agreement, fulfil it poorly or end it, irrespective of whether or not Tintto receives fees as part of the agreement.
In cases where the agreement concluded between the applicant and the company is a service or subcontractor agreement or an agreement intended to regulate the fulfilment of a task for payment of remuneration, which is not an employment contract, the candidate bears the sole responsibility for any damage which he/she may cause to the company as part of the fulfilment of his/her task.
