V Family terms

This English version is a convenience translation. In case of doubt, the German version applies.

1. Provider and scope

The programme “V Family” is operated by Vedium UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Goldberger Straße 86, 40822 Mettmann, vertreten durch Nico Dohm (“Vedium”). These terms apply to participation in the programme. The programme is a voluntary marketing offer. There is no entitlement to be accepted.

2. Participation

Natural persons aged 18 or older with a public TikTok or Instagram account may take part. Participation requires an application and approval by Vedium. Vedium may reject applications without giving reasons. Each person may take part once.

3. Personal code

After approval the participant receives a personal discount code. The code is valid once, for the first order as a new customer only, exclusively on items at their regular price, and cannot be combined with other promotions. A new customer is someone who has not placed an order with Vedium under the given email address before. For further orders the participant additionally receives a second personal code whose percentage depends on rank (section 7). This code can be used repeatedly, only works in the participant’s own customer account, exclusively on items at their regular price, and cannot be combined with other promotions; the percentage adjusts automatically when the rank changes. The codes are not transferable and must not be passed on to third parties.

4. Video obligations

For a purchased item, the participant may publish as many videos as they like. Each video must

• be created by the participant and must not infringe third-party rights (for example other people’s images or videos). Music from the platform’s own music library, including current trending sounds, may be used,
• clearly show the purchased item and tag Vedium (@vvedium on Instagram, @ved1um on TikTok),
• be labelled as advertising (for example “Werbung” or “Anzeige”, or the platform’s paid partnership label),
• be free of unlawful, insulting, discriminatory or youth-endangering content,
• be publicly visible and stay online for at least 30 days.

The participant is responsible for complying with disclosure obligations. The participant is not an employee, commercial agent or representative of Vedium and may not make statements on behalf of Vedium.

5. Credit

For approved videos that meet these terms, the participant receives promotional credit (“Family Credit”) for the Vedium shop:

• Base credit: 5 € for the first approved video about a purchased item. The base credit is granted only once per purchased item.
• Credit by views: For every approved video, including several videos about the same item, depending on the views on day 30 after publication:
  • from 5000 views: 10 €,
  • for every further 5000 views: a further 5 €,
  • up to the cap of the participant’s rank (section 7) at most, not counting the one-time base credit.

For the first approved video about an item, the base credit is added to the credit by views. Each video is assessed after its own 30 days.

Views are checked against the publicly visible view count of the post. If it is not visible, the participant proves it on request with a screenshot of the platform’s statistics. The video is submitted through the form on the submission page. The number of videos that can earn credit by views is not limited.

6. Crediting and redemption

The credit is added only after 30 days, after review of the video and after the withdrawal period of the underlying order has ended. There is no advance credit, not even for the base credit. The credit is promotional credit and not a payment. It is not paid out in cash and bears no interest. It can only be redeemed in the Vedium shop, for up to 50 % of the goods value of an order, not in combination with discount codes and not on items that are already reduced. The credit is valid for 12 months from crediting and is not transferable.

Vedium grants credit within a monthly overall budget, in the order in which videos are approved. If the budget of a month is used up, the credit is added in the following month. There is no entitlement to credit in a specific month.

7. Ranks and benefits

The programme has four ranks: Member, Associate, Partner and Inner Circle. The rank depends on the number of the participant’s approved videos that reached at least 1,000 views on day 30 after publication: Associate from 3, Partner from 8 and Inner Circle from 15 such videos. Videos with fewer views do not count towards the rank; the credit is not affected. The Inner Circle rank is additionally granted by invitation from Vedium only. A rank stays active if at least one video was approved in the last 90 days. Otherwise Vedium may adjust the rank.

The following applies per rank:

• Cap for credit by views per video: Member 20 €, Associate 25 €, Partner 30 €, Inner Circle 40 €.
• Discount code for further orders: Member 15 %, Associate 15 %, Partner 20 %, Inner Circle 25 %, each only on items at their regular price.
• Earlier access to new pieces: Member 24, Associate 48, Partner 72, Inner Circle 72 hours before general sale. There is no entitlement to the availability of specific pieces.
• Referral code from Associate: new customers get 10 % off their first order with the code. The participant receives referral credit of 5 % (Associate) or 10 % (Partner, Inner Circle) of the net goods value of that order. Referral credit is added after 30 days and the withdrawal period, not on return or cancellation and not for the participant’s own orders.
• Further benefits for Partner and Inner Circle (for example one free piece per season, a feature on Vedium’s channels, personal contact, early access to samples, a say in new pieces) are voluntary services by Vedium without a legal entitlement to specific pieces or content.

Vedium may change the requirements and benefits of the ranks with effect for the future. Credit already granted remains unaffected.

8. Returns and withdrawal

If the underlying order is withdrawn, returned or cancelled in whole or in part, the entitlement to credit for the affected item lapses. Credit already granted may be deducted again in this case. The statutory right of withdrawal remains unaffected.

9. Exclusion, misuse

Vedium may exclude participants and refuse or withdraw credit in case of violations of these terms, in particular bought or manipulated views, early deletion of the video, missing advertising labels, unlawful content or multiple accounts. Vedium may change or end the programme at any time with effect for the future. Claims arising from videos already approved and online remain unaffected.

10. Usage rights

The participant keeps all rights to the video. By submitting it, the participant grants Vedium a non-exclusive, worldwide right, valid for 12 months, to share and display the video unchanged, in particular on its own social media channels (for example by repost or collaboration) and in the shop. The participant’s name or profile is credited. The video is used in paid advertising (for example partnership ads, Spark Ads) only if the participant expressly agrees in the individual case. The participant may revoke the right in text form before it expires.

11. Taxes

The participant is responsible for any tax obligations in connection with the credit. Vedium does not provide tax advice.

12. Liability

Vedium is fully liable for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body and health. In case of slight negligence, Vedium is liable only for breach of essential contractual obligations and limited to foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Statutory liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected. The participant alone is responsible for the content of their video and indemnifies Vedium against third-party claims arising from unlawful content.

13. Data protection

Vedium processes the application data (name, email, profile) to run the programme. Details are in the privacy policy.

14. Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the participant’s country of residence remain unaffected. If a provision is invalid, the remaining provisions stay valid.
