Disclaimer for DastN GmbH

This website disclaimer is issued by DastN GmbH (HRB 230821 B, Amtsgericht Charlottenburg), a company registered in Germany and located at Kurfürstendamm 194, 10707 Berlin  . It covers the use of DastN’s website and the services offered, including International Relocation Services and Digital Transformation/ERP Consulting. By using our website or services, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this disclaimer. If you do not agree, please refrain from using the site or services.

DastN GmbH provides international recruitment, visa assistance, and relocation support to German client companies and candidates abroad. Our role is strictly advisory and facilitative – we are not a law firm or an employer, and we do not provide legal immigration advice or employment contracts . In connection with these services, we make the following disclaimers:

  • No Guarantee of Employment or Visa: Engaging our relocation or visa support services does not guarantee any job offer, employment, or visa approval for the candidate  . All hiring decisions are made solely by the independent employer (client company), and all visa or residence permit decisions are made by the relevant German authorities (e.g. embassies, immigration offices) beyond DastN’s control  . We cannot influence or expedite government or embassy decisions, and we are not responsible for any rejection, denial, or delay of visa applications by authorities .

  • Advisory Support Only: DastN’s assistance with recruitment, credential recognition, and visa process is provided to help navigate complex procedures, but the content on our website and our guidance do not constitute legal advice  . Candidates and clients should seek certified legal counsel for formal legal advice if needed. We are not an employment agency guaranteeing placement, and we do not enter into any employment relationship with candidates. Any employment contract is strictly between the candidate and the hiring company, not with DastN. We do not guarantee employment duration or outcomes, and use of our services does not create any employer-employee relationship between DastN and the candidate.

  • Third-Party Decisions and External Factors: The success of relocation processes depends on third parties and official bodies. Visa issuance and work permit approvals are the sole authority of government agencies, and we have no influence over government or embassy decisions  . Likewise, recognition of qualifications is determined by German regulatory bodies, and job offers are made at the discretion of employers. DastN is not liable for decisions or actions of these third parties, including employers rescinding offers or authorities changing policies. We also cannot guarantee timeframes for visa or work permit processing as these vary by case and authority.

  • Candidate Responsibilities: Candidates and sponsoring client companies are responsible for providing accurate and complete information and documentation in a timely manner to facilitate recruitment and visa processes . DastN is not liable for delays, rejections, or other issues caused by incomplete, false, or late information provided by the candidate or client. Candidates must meet all eligibility requirements (such as education, experience, language, financial proof, etc.) set by German law for visas; failure to meet these requirements can result in denial, for which DastN is not responsible . We assist and support, but the ultimate responsibility to fulfill visa conditions and job qualifications lies with the individual candidate and the hiring company.

  • No Fast-Track Guarantee: While DastN may assist with fast-track visa processes when available, using our service does not guarantee a faster outcome or any preferential treatment by authorities . All applications follow the standard procedures of the relevant authorities, and any referenced processing times are general estimates only.

In summary, DastN undertakes to provide professional guidance and support for international relocation, but all final outcomes (job placement, visa or permit issuance, recognition of credentials, etc.) depend on decisions by external entities. We exclude any liability for unsuccessful placement or immigration outcomes beyond refund or remedy measures explicitly agreed in our contracts, to the extent permitted by law.

Not an Employer: DastN is a consulting and facilitation service – we are not an employer or hiring entity for the candidates using our platform. Any employment relationship that may arise (such as when a candidate is hired by a client company) is solely between the candidate and that third-party employer. DastN is not a party to any employment contract and does not exercise control over the terms or conditions of your employment with any third party. We assist and mediate in connecting candidates to opportunities and support with relocation/logistical processes, but we do not act as an employer, recruiter on behalf of a specific employer (unless explicitly stated in a particular case), or immigration authority. Likewise, while DastN may provide guidance on visa processes and assist in document preparation, we are not a law firm or immigration authority. Any information or support we give regarding visas, work permits, or legal compliance is for general guidance and administrative assistance. It should not be considered formal legal advice. We always recommend that you consult qualified legal or immigration professionals for advice specific to your situation if needed. By using our service, you agree that you understand DastN’s role is limited and no client-consultant relationship with DastN will be construed as an employer-employee or attorney-client relationship.

Results Not Guaranteed: Using DastN’s services can greatly assist you in your international employment and relocation journey, but it does not guarantee any specific outcome. All information on our website (such as job listings, success stories, or visa information) is provided to help you, but none of it guarantees that you will achieve the same results. Past performance or outcomes (for example, previous candidates successfully obtaining jobs or visas) are not a promise or indication of your individual success. DastN’s role is to facilitate and support – the final results depend on multiple factors out of our control, including your own qualifications and efforts, market conditions, employer decisions, and government processes. We therefore disclaim any warranty or assurance that:

  • You will be offered a job or an interview by any employer through our platform.
  • You will obtain a visa or work permit, even if you meet basic criteria, as approvals are subject to official discretion.
  • Any timeframe or timeline mentioned will be strictly met (we give timeframes as estimates based on experience, not as guarantees).

By engaging with DastN, you accept that outcomes cannot be guaranteed and that you will not hold DastN liable for opportunities that do not materialize or approvals that are not granted. We encourage you to use our resources and follow our guidance to improve your chances, but we make no promise of success. This disclaimer of result guarantees is a fundamental condition of using our services.

DastN GmbH offers digitalization consulting, including Odoo ERP implementation, cloud services, system configuration, and ongoing support. We strive to deliver high-quality technical solutions, but please note the following disclaimers regarding our Digital Transformation and ERP services:

  • Third-Party Platforms and Services: Our solutions often integrate or rely on third-party platforms and providers (for example, the Odoo ERP software provided by Odoo S.A., cloud hosting services, third-party modules or APIs). DastN does not own or control these third-party products and services, and therefore cannot guarantee their continuous, error-free operation or security . Service availability may depend on third-party conditions such as the uptime of hosting providers or the performance of Odoo’s systems . We are not responsible for issues originating from third-party platforms, vendors, or open-source components, including outages, bugs, cyber-security vulnerabilities, or data loss caused by those external systems . Use of any third-party software or service is subject to that provider’s own terms and warranties, and DastN disclaims liability for their performance.

  • No Warranty for Specific Results: We implement and customize ERP and digital solutions based on client requirements and industry best practices. However, we do not warrant that the software or solutions will meet every specific requirement of the client, or that they will achieve particular business outcomes or performance results unless such guarantees are expressly part of a written contract. All software and consulting deliverables are provided “as is” without any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. While we aim for optimal configuration, we do not guarantee that the ERP system or digital solution will be completely error-free or uninterrupted in operation .

  • Client Misuse or Alterations: Once delivered, the proper operation of an ERP system or digital tool can be affected by user actions. Any misuse of the system, unauthorized changes, or failure by the client’s staff to follow the provided instructions or training is outside of DastN’s responsibility. The client is responsible for maintaining appropriate use policies and access controls. DastN shall not be liable for any issues, security incidents, or losses that result from client-side misuse, configuration changes made without our knowledge, use of the system in an unintended manner, or integration of unauthorized third-party extensions. We advise clients to follow our support guidance and to restrict system administration to qualified personnel.

  • Data and Backup: The client is ultimately responsible for the integrity and backup of its data. DastN will provide guidance on backup procedures and may assist in setting up automated backups if contracted, but we are not liable for data loss or corruption on the client’s systems, especially if caused by third-party software failures, hardware failures, or client negligence. We strongly recommend that clients maintain regular backups and disaster recovery plans. Any assistance we provide in data recovery or restoration is without guarantee and subject to separate terms.

In providing digital consulting, DastN commits to due care and professional expertise. However, liability for technical issues beyond our control (such as those stemming from the core Odoo platform or hosting provider outages) is expressly disclaimed . We do not assume liability for any business losses arising from software downtime, bugs, or other consequential issues not directly caused by our own gross negligence.

No Endorsement or Responsibility: The DastN site and our communications may contain references or links to third-party websites, products, or services (for example, government visa application sites, partner training programs, or relocation service providers). These links and references are provided for convenience or suggested resources only. DastN does not endorse or assume any responsibility for third-party websites or services. If you access external links or engage third-party services (whether through our recommendation or independently), you do so at your own risk. We make no guarantee and have no liability for the content, accuracy, legality, or performance of third-party sites or providers. Any agreements or transactions with third parties are solely between you and those parties. DastN shall not be held liable for any issues arising from third-party content or dealings, such as misinformation on a government site, the quality of a service provided by a partner, or any malware or damages caused by external websites. We advise you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites or services you utilize. However, if you encounter a problem with a service we directly referred you to, we would appreciate being informed so we can reconsider that partnership or assist in pointing you toward a resolution.

Official Communication Channels: To ensure effective and secure communication, DastN requires that all significant communications – especially those involving personal data or sensitive documents – occur through our official channels. This includes our secure online portal/platform for candidate and client interactions, or official DastN email addresses and telephone contacts as listed on our website. Candidates using our relocation services are expected to communicate and submit documents via the DastN portal (or other designated system), rather than through unofficial means such as personal email. This policy is in place to protect your data and to ensure that requests are properly tracked.

No Liability for Unofficial Communications: DastN is not responsible for any miscommunication, data breach, or loss of information that occurs if you bypass our official communication channels. If a candidate or client chooses to send documents or information through unofficial channels (for example, sending sensitive documents to a consultant’s personal email or via a messaging app not sanctioned by DastN), they do so at their own risk. We strongly advise against sharing personal or confidential information outside our secure systems. Always verify that emails are coming from the “@dastn.com” domain or our other official domains, and be cautious of phishing attempts. DastN will not be liable for any consequences arising from communications that are outside our control.

Data Use in Communications: Communications through our portal or via email may be recorded and stored by DastN in order to deliver our services and maintain records. By using our portal or contacting us, you consent that we can process the information you provide for the purposes of handling your request or case. All such data handling is done in accordance with our Privacy Policy and data protection laws (see next section).

Privacy Commitment: DastN GmbH is committed to protecting your privacy and handling personal data in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and German Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG). We only collect and process personal data as needed to fulfill our services or legal obligations, or with your consent, and we apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard this data. We adhere to all relevant GDPR principles and requirements, such as data minimization, purpose limitation, and data security, when processing client or candidate information. We do not sell or misuse your data, and we ensure any third-party partners handling personal data on our behalf are also bound by confidentiality and GDPR compliance.

Privacy Policy: For detailed information on how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data, please review our Privacy Policy (available on this website). The Privacy Policy explains the categories of data we handle, the purposes of processing, your rights as a data subject, and how you can exercise those rights. By using DastN’s services or website, you acknowledge that you have read our Privacy Policy and agree to the processing of your data as described, in compliance with GDPR. If you submit personal information to us (for example, through the candidate portal or a contact form), we will use that data solely for the purposes for which you submitted it and as permitted by law .

Data Sharing and International Transfers: Given the nature of our services, we may need to share certain personal data with third parties such as potential employers, government authorities (for visa/work permit applications), credential evaluation bodies, or subcontractors assisting in service delivery. Such sharing will be done only on a need-to-know basis and in line with data protection laws. If we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area, we will ensure appropriate safeguards (such as EU standard contractual clauses) are in place. By using our services, you consent to these necessary transfers for the performance of the services.

User Responsibility: You are responsible for ensuring that any personal data you provide to DastN (about yourself or others) is accurate and up-to-date. Do not provide more information than requested, especially sensitive data, unless it is necessary for the service. For example, do not send personal documents via email if we have provided a secure upload portal. You also should maintain the confidentiality of your portal login credentials. If you suspect any unauthorized access to your account or data, please notify us immediately.

Use at Your Own Risk: The DastN website and services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While we strive to maintain high quality and accuracy, DastN GmbH and its directors, employees, or agents shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising directly or indirectly from your use of our site, reliance on information provided, or use of our services, except as set forth in our Terms & Conditions.
