Terms of engagement and website use

These terms explain the boundary between independent recognition guidance and decisions reserved to German authorities or regulated professionals.

Last updated: 15 August 2026

Acceptance and provider

These terms apply when you use byte-orbitpoint.digital or engage Byte Orbitpoint for a consultation or document review. The provider can be contacted at info@byte-orbitpoint.digital. A service engagement begins only when we confirm scope, fee and timing in writing.

Nature of the service

We provide research, evidence organisation and practical explanations concerning recognition of foreign qualifications in Germany. We are not a competent recognition authority, university, immigration office or law firm. Our work is not a recognition decision, certified translation, legal representation, visa service or guarantee of employment.

Official requirements can change and authorities retain discretion under applicable law. You must review our notes promptly, supply accurate information and confirm material requirements with the receiving body.

Appointments, fees and client responsibilities

Fees and included work are stated in the written confirmation. You agree to provide readable, lawfully obtained documents and to identify deadlines. Do not send original documents unless specifically agreed. You are responsible for applications, authority fees, translations and third-party professional costs.

Intellectual property

The site design, original articles, route-note format and explanatory material belong to Byte Orbitpoint. You may retain and use deliverables for your own recognition matter. You may not sell, publish or adapt them as commercial guidance without written permission. Your documents remain yours.

Liability

We perform agreed work with reasonable professional care. To the extent permitted by German law, we are not liable for authority processing times, third-party decisions, changed requirements, employment outcomes or loss caused by incomplete or inaccurate client information. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, or mandatory consumer rights.

Cancellation

Cancellation, rescheduling and refund rules are set out in the refund policy and form part of these terms. Statutory consumer withdrawal rights, where applicable, remain unaffected; express requests to start work during a withdrawal period may affect the amount refundable for work already performed.

Governing law and disputes

German law governs these terms, excluding conflict rules to the extent legally permitted. Mandatory consumer protections and mandatory jurisdiction rules continue to apply. We encourage clients to contact us first so a concern can be reviewed. The courts with jurisdiction are determined under applicable German law; these terms do not impose an invalid venue on consumers.

Changes

The version accepted for an engagement governs that engagement. We may update website terms prospectively when services or law change, and will display the revision date.
