Sale Pulse

Terms of Use

Last updated: 13 July 2026

1. Operator

SalePulse is operated by:

Aratud UG (haftungsbeschränkt)

Kolonnenstr. 8

10827 Berlin

Germany

Email: info@aratud.de

In these Terms of Use, “SalePulse”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Aratud UG (haftungsbeschränkt).

Further legally required information about the operator is available in the Impressum on salepulse.de.

2. Scope of these Terms

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of salepulse.de and the submission of information, text, photographs and other content to SalePulse.

They apply to:

  • visitors using the website;
  • persons submitting deals or store information;
  • store owners and authorised business representatives using the free public features; and
  • persons interacting with other SalePulse functions that refer to these Terms.
  • Merely visiting publicly accessible pages does not require registration.

    When submitting content through SalePulse, you must actively accept these Terms through the submission form. The version displayed and accepted at the time of submission applies to that submission.

    Paid advertising, sponsored placement, subscription services or other paid business services are not governed by these Terms unless expressly stated. Separate business terms may apply to such services.

    3. SalePulse service

    SalePulse is an information and discovery service for deals, sales, promotions, pop-ups, stores and local events, primarily in Berlin.

    SalePulse may:

  • collect deal information from publicly accessible sources;
  • receive deal submissions from users and businesses;
  • verify, edit, categorise and publish deal information;
  • display stores and deals on a map;
  • mark deals as verified, unverified, disputed, expired or unavailable;
  • publish selected content through newsletters, Instagram or Telegram; and
  • remove or archive outdated information.
  • SalePulse does not itself sell the products or services advertised by third-party stores unless this is expressly stated for a particular offer.

    A purchase or other transaction takes place directly between the user and the relevant store, merchant, event organiser or other third party. SalePulse is not a party to that transaction and does not act as the merchant’s agent, broker or payment provider.

    4. Free service and no entitlement to publication

    The public SalePulse service is currently provided free of charge.

    There is no entitlement to:

  • uninterrupted access to the website;
  • publication of a submitted deal;
  • a particular position or visibility;
  • continued publication for a particular period;
  • verification of a listing;
  • inclusion in the newsletter or social-media channels; or
  • permanent storage of submitted content.
  • We may decide whether, when and how submitted or publicly sourced information is displayed, provided that we comply with applicable law.

    5. Eligibility

    Public deal information may generally be viewed without creating an account.

    A person submitting content must:

  • be at least 18 years old; or
  • act with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who is authorised to give that consent.
  • A person submitting content on behalf of a business confirms that they are authorised to provide the information and grant the rights described in these Terms.

    6. Accuracy and availability of deals

    SalePulse attempts to provide useful and reasonably current information. However, deals are provided, changed and withdrawn by independent stores and other third parties.

    Unless SalePulse expressly states otherwise, we do not guarantee:

  • that a deal is still available;
  • that a product is in stock;
  • that the stated price is correct;
  • that all conditions or exclusions are shown;
  • that a store is open;
  • that a deal is available at every branch;
  • that a photograph reflects current stock or conditions; or
  • that third-party information is complete or error-free.
  • Users should verify the price, availability, duration and conditions directly with the relevant store before travelling or making a purchase.

    A “verified” label means only that SalePulse reviewed the information using the verification method available at that time. It is not a guarantee that the offer will remain available or unchanged.

    7. Deal submissions

    Users may submit deal and store information through the SalePulse submission form.

    Depending on the form, a submission may include:

  • store or business name;
  • address and map location;
  • website or public social-media links;
  • category;
  • deal description;
  • discount or price information;
  • start and end dates;
  • deal conditions;
  • photographs or image links; and
  • contact information for verification.
  • By submitting content, you confirm that, to the best of your knowledge:

    1. the submission is accurate and not misleading;

    2. the deal exists or was publicly offered at the stated location;

    3. dates, prices and restrictions are stated as accurately as reasonably possible;

    4. you are entitled to submit the content;

    5. the submission does not violate third-party rights;

    6. the submission does not contain unlawful content;

    7. contact details supplied for verification may be used by SalePulse for that purpose; and

    8. you have disclosed any commercial connection to the store where that connection could affect how the submission is understood.

    Submitting a deal does not guarantee that it will be reviewed, verified or published.

    8. Rights to submitted content

    You retain ownership of any copyright or other rights you hold in submitted content.

    To the extent that you hold the necessary rights, you grant SalePulse a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use the submitted content for the purposes of operating, promoting and documenting SalePulse.

    This right includes the right to:

  • store and reproduce the content;
  • publish it on salepulse.de;
  • display it in deal lists, maps and detail pages;
  • resize, crop, compress or reformat photographs;
  • correct spelling, formatting and obvious errors;
  • shorten, excerpt, categorise or translate text without materially changing its meaning;
  • combine the content with SalePulse layouts, maps, captions and branding;
  • distribute it through SalePulse newsletters;
  • publish it through SalePulse’s Instagram and Telegram channels; and
  • provide it to technical service providers and platform operators where necessary for those purposes.
  • The licence is worldwide because the website and social-media channels may be accessible internationally. It lasts for as long as the content is used for the stated purposes and for a reasonable technical period afterwards, including backup and archival cycles.

    The licence is non-exclusive. You remain free to use and license your content elsewhere.

    SalePulse may allow its hosting, email, infrastructure and social-media service providers to process or reproduce the content only to the extent required to provide the relevant service.

    We will not materially distort the meaning of submitted content or use it to falsely suggest that an identifiable person endorses SalePulse.

    You may ask us to remove content by contacting info@aratud.de. We will assess the request under applicable law.

    Removal from active SalePulse pages does not necessarily remove copies already lawfully published by third-party platforms, received in newsletters, retained temporarily in backups or required for legal claims.

    9. Photographs and identifiable persons

    You may submit only photographs that you created yourself or that you are otherwise authorised to provide and license to SalePulse.

    Do not submit photographs that unlawfully reproduce copyrighted artwork, advertisements, professional photography, protected logos or other third-party material.

    Photographs should focus on the storefront, product, price label, poster or deal information.

    Do not submit photographs in which identifiable customers, employees, passers-by, children or other private persons are the main subject unless you have all permissions required for publication.

    Where possible, avoid showing:

  • recognisable faces;
  • vehicle licence plates;
  • private documents;
  • payment information;
  • contact details not intended for publication; or
  • other unnecessary personal information.
  • SalePulse may reject, crop or blur photographs containing identifiable persons or other sensitive details. Such review does not transfer responsibility for the original submission to SalePulse.

    10. Store names, logos and trademarks

    Store names, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

    A submitter may not provide a logo, branded image or other protected sign unless the submitter is authorised to do so or the proposed use is otherwise legally permitted.

    SalePulse may use store names and other identifiers where reasonably necessary to identify and describe a store or deal.

    Such use does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership or approval by the relevant rights holder unless this is expressly stated.

    Rights holders may report disputed use to info@aratud.de.

    11. Prohibited content and conduct

    You must not use SalePulse to submit, publish, transmit or promote content that:

  • is unlawful;
  • is knowingly false, deceptive or materially misleading;
  • infringes copyright, trademark, personality, privacy or other third-party rights;
  • contains threats, harassment, hate speech or discriminatory abuse;
  • promotes violence, exploitation or unlawful activity;
  • contains malware, malicious links or harmful code;
  • reveals private or confidential information without authorisation;
  • impersonates another person or business;
  • falsely claims a commercial relationship or official status;
  • manipulates verification or visibility;
  • constitutes spam or repeated irrelevant promotion;
  • advertises prohibited or unlawfully offered goods or services;
  • is pornographic or sexually exploitative;
  • exploits or endangers children;
  • interferes with the website’s security or operation;
  • attempts to bypass Cloudflare Turnstile or other security controls;
  • uses automated scraping, submission or access in a manner that overloads, disrupts or circumvents the service; or
  • is otherwise incompatible with the purpose of a local deal-discovery service.
  • You must not use information obtained through SalePulse to harass stores, staff, submitters or other persons.

    12. Moderation and verification

    SalePulse may review submitted and publicly sourced content manually or with technical tools.

    For legitimate operational, safety or legal reasons, we may:

  • request additional information;
  • verify a submission with the store or public sources;
  • correct spelling, formatting, map coordinates or obvious factual errors;
  • shorten or categorise content;
  • add explanatory labels;
  • reject a submission;
  • delay publication;
  • mark a deal as unverified, disputed, expired or unavailable;
  • restrict the visibility of content;
  • remove content; or
  • preserve content where this is required for legal reasons.
  • Relevant factors may include:

  • accuracy and evidence;
  • recency;
  • relevance to SalePulse;
  • legal risk;
  • third-party rights;
  • user safety;
  • duplicate content;
  • commercial manipulation;
  • technical quality; and
  • reliability of the source.
  • Automated tools may assist with spam detection, categorisation, duplicate detection or identification of suspicious submissions.

    Material publication and removal decisions may also involve human review.

    Where required by applicable law, SalePulse will provide information about a content-restriction decision and available options for review.

    13. Reporting unlawful or inaccurate content

    You may report content that you believe is unlawful, infringes your rights or contains materially inaccurate information by emailing:

    info@aratud.de

    A useful report should include:

  • the exact URL or sufficient information to locate the content;
  • an explanation of why the content is unlawful or inaccurate;
  • where relevant, details of the right allegedly infringed;
  • your name and email address, except where anonymous reporting is legally permitted; and
  • a statement that the report is submitted in good faith.
  • SalePulse may request additional information where this is reasonably necessary to assess the report.

    We will review sufficiently precise and substantiated reports and take action where required.

    Possible actions include:

  • correcting the content;
  • temporarily restricting it;
  • removing it;
  • requesting supporting evidence; or
  • rejecting the report.
  • Knowingly submitting false or abusive reports is prohibited.

    A person affected by a moderation decision may request a review by contacting info@aratud.de and identifying the relevant content and decision.

    14. Instagram, Telegram and newsletter distribution

    SalePulse may select published deals for distribution through:

  • the SalePulse newsletter;
  • SalePulse Instagram accounts; and
  • SalePulse Telegram channels.
  • Selection is at SalePulse’s discretion and does not create a right to publication or continued distribution.

    Instagram, Telegram and email providers operate under their own terms and technical rules. Content removed from SalePulse may remain visible on those services for a period outside our direct control.

    Newsletter subscription is voluntary and requires a separate opt-in. Users can unsubscribe through the link provided in each newsletter.

    15. Maps and location information

    Map and location functions may rely on OpenStreetMap data and other geographic services.

    Map positions, addresses, distances and routes may be incomplete or inaccurate. They are provided for general orientation and should not be relied upon for emergency, safety-critical or legally significant navigation.

    Where a user activates a “near me” or similar feature, the browser or device may ask for location permission. Use of that function is voluntary.

    16. Third-party websites, stores and services

    SalePulse may contain links to store websites, social-media pages, map services and other third-party services.

    These third parties are independent from SalePulse. We do not control their:

  • content;
  • availability;
  • prices;
  • stock;
  • contractual terms;
  • privacy practices;
  • security; or
  • business conduct.
  • Following a third-party link is at the user’s discretion. The relevant third party’s terms and privacy information apply to its service.

    17. SalePulse intellectual property

    The SalePulse name, website design, software, database structure, original text, graphics and other materials created by SalePulse may be protected by copyright, trademark or other laws.

    Except where permitted by law, you may not:

  • copy or republish substantial parts of the website;
  • reproduce the SalePulse database or systematic parts of it;
  • remove rights notices;
  • present SalePulse content as your own;
  • use SalePulse branding in a way that suggests authorisation or partnership; or
  • reverse engineer or interfere with non-public parts of the service.
  • Ordinary sharing of public deal links and brief quotations with appropriate attribution is permitted.

    18. Service availability and changes

    We aim to operate SalePulse reliably but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free availability.

    We may temporarily restrict or suspend the service for:

  • maintenance;
  • security work;
  • technical failures;
  • provider outages;
  • legal requirements;
  • misuse prevention; or
  • changes to the service.
  • We may add, modify or discontinue free features. Where reasonably possible, material planned changes will be communicated through the website.

    19. Restriction of access

    We may block or restrict access, submissions or technical identifiers where reasonably necessary to:

  • prevent spam or automated abuse;
  • protect the website or other users;
  • respond to security incidents;
  • enforce these Terms;
  • comply with legal obligations; or
  • prevent repeated submission of unlawful or misleading content.
  • Where appropriate and legally required, we will consider the nature, frequency and seriousness of the conduct before imposing a restriction.

    20. Liability

    SalePulse is liable without limitation:

  • for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
  • for injury to life, body or health caused intentionally or negligently;
  • where SalePulse has given an express guarantee;
  • under mandatory product-liability law; and
  • in any other case where liability cannot legally be excluded or limited.
  • For damage caused by slight negligence, SalePulse is liable only where an essential contractual obligation has been breached.

    An essential contractual obligation is one whose performance is necessary for the proper provision of the service and on whose performance the user may ordinarily rely.

    In such cases, liability is limited to the damage that was foreseeable and typical when the relevant relationship arose. This limitation does not apply to injury to life, body or health.

    Subject to the rules above, SalePulse is not liable merely because:

  • a third-party deal is changed, unavailable or incorrectly described;
  • a store refuses to honour an offer;
  • a product is out of stock;
  • a third-party website or platform is unavailable;
  • a map position or route is inaccurate; or
  • user-submitted or publicly sourced information contains an error that SalePulse was not legally required and reasonably able to identify.
  • Nothing in these Terms limits statutory consumer rights or reverses a legally prescribed burden of proof.

    21. Data protection

    Information about the processing of personal data is provided in the SalePulse Data Protection Declaration available on salepulse.de.

    The Data Protection Declaration is a separate transparency document and is not replaced by these Terms.

    22. Changes to these Terms

    We may update these Terms to reflect:

  • changes to the service;
  • new functions;
  • legal or regulatory developments;
  • security requirements; or
  • clarification of existing provisions.
  • Changes apply prospectively.

    The version accepted at the time of a submission continues to govern the rights granted for that submission unless the parties validly agree otherwise or a change is required by mandatory law.

    The current version is published on salepulse.de with its revision date.

    23. Applicable law

    German law applies.

    For consumers, this choice of law does not remove mandatory protections provided by the law of the country in which the consumer has their habitual residence where those protections apply regardless of the chosen law.

    The statutory rules on jurisdiction apply to consumers.

    Where the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, Berlin is the agreed place of jurisdiction to the extent legally permitted.

    24. Invalid provisions

    If a provision of these Terms is wholly or partly invalid or does not become part of the agreement, the remaining provisions remain unaffected where legally permitted.

    The applicable statutory rule takes the place of an invalid or excluded provision.
