H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR, Dippoldiswalder Str.38a, 01744 Dippoldiswalde

1. Scope, Definitions

(1) The following general terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") apply to all legal transactions between H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR, Dippoldiswalder Str.38a, 01744 Dippoldiswalde (hereinafter referred to as "H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR") and its contractual partners or clients (hereinafter referred to as "client"). In the commercial sense the terms "order", "contractor" and "client" are to be understood. "Order" means the contractual relationship without regard to the respective type of contract, thus regardless of whether it is a purchase, service or other contract.

(2) The customer confirms before using the services of H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR to be an entrepreneur in the sense of § 14 BGB (German Civil Code) and to use the services exclusively because of the development or expansion of the (secondary) commercial activity or to enter into contracts with H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR in this respect.

(3) All agreements between the customer and H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR for the execution of services have to be agreed in written form. Changes, additions and side agreements must be in written form to be effective. These business relations are also valid for all future business relations with the customer, even if they are not expressly agreed again.

(4) The version of our general terms and conditions valid at the time of using the services of H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR is decisive.

(5) Service descriptions, price lists, tariffs, technical specifications, legal and other special notices, if agreed in writing, are part of the contract and have priority over these GTC.

(6) Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of the customer are only valid insofar as H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR has expressly agreed to them in writing.

(1) The subject of the GTC are contracts of a full-service advertising agency. This includes the conception of logos, design creation, slogans, brands, advertising campaigns, websites and other advertising-related products. The concrete subject matter of the contract results from the individual contractual agreements. The respective service description results directly from our offers.

(2) The offers are non-binding and subject to change, valid for a maximum of 4 weeks after the date of submission.

(3) H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR provides the Customer with services in the field of management consulting, online marketing and personal development. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, we do not owe the provision of a work in this respect either. In particular, the success of certain advertising measures can only be predicted on the basis of empirical values. The customer is aware that we do not owe any success in this respect. If separate remuneration is agreed for the achievement of a specific success of an advertising measure, this shall accordingly be paid as a performance-related bonus. In principle, however, there is no entitlement to the achievement of a specific success.

(4) Additional expenses which were unforeseeable shall require mutual agreement and may lead to subsequent remuneration.

(1) The conclusion of the contract between H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR and the Customer is binding if an order has been placed in writing (e.g. by e-mail or letter) or has been placed verbally by the Customer and confirmed in writing by H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR. The written release of a cost overview by the customer is sufficient for placing the order.

(2) If the provision of the agreed service is not possible, for example for technical reasons, we refrain from a declaration of acceptance and a contract is not concluded. We shall inform you of this without delay and, if applicable, immediately refund any consideration already received. Events of force majeure entitle H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR to extend the project ordered by the customer by the duration of the obstructing event. A claim for damages from the customer against H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR does not result from this. This also applies if important dates and/or events for the customer cannot be met and/or do not occur.

(1) The remuneration agreed in the contract, the offer or the order confirmation shall apply. All prices quoted by us are in principle net prices and are exclusive of the applicable statutory value added tax.

(2) Unless otherwise agreed, the Customer shall pay 50 percent of the invoice amount as partial payment after the order has been placed. The remaining 50 percent will be due upon acceptance of the completion on the part of H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR, or two weeks after handover (as far as no reasons for non-acceptance were presented).

(3) H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR is allowed to invoice the customer for partial payments for partial services already rendered. This only applies if the provision of the agreed services extends over a longer period of time. The rendered partial services do not have to be available in a usable form for the customer and can also be available as a pure working basis on the part of H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR.

(4) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, other activities that H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR performs for the customer are subject to a fee.

(5) Unless otherwise agreed, a reduction of the remuneration is not allowed. In particular, a cooperation or collaboration of the customer has no influence on the amount of the remuneration.

(6) Modifications of finished works of any form and kind represent additional services, which will be charged according to the time spent and thus invoiced separately, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The amount of the hourly rate is based on the hourly rate of H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR valid at the time of the service provision, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

(1) With the complete payment of the agreed remuneration, the Customer acquires the rights of use, but expressly not the ownership rights, to the work performed by H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR within the scope of the order for the agreed duration. Unless otherwise agreed, only the simple right of use is transferred to the customer. H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR remains in any case entitled to use its drafts, produced performances and reproductions from the order in the context of self-promotion. This also applies if the exclusive right of use has been granted. Uses and exploitations beyond that require a written agreement between the customer and H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR. The customer does not receive a joint copyright, even if he was involved in the creation process through advice, ideas or suggestions. The rendered services within the scope of the order are protected as personal intellectual creations by the copyright law. This provision shall also be deemed to have been agreed if the level of creation required under the Copyright Act is not achieved in an individual case.

(2) H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR is entitled to present the services rendered for the Customer and/or to refer to the business relationship on its own advertising media, in particular on its own Internet pages. In this context H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR is entitled to use the name and/or company logo of the customer. H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR reserves the right to be marked as the originator on all advertising material and advertising measures of the customer, as far as they fall under the copyright law. H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR may sign the services developed and created by it appropriately and customary in the industry, publish the placed order for self-promotion and present itself in the imprint including linking to www.H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR.de, provided that no information of the customer to be treated confidentially is disclosed thereby. By a separate agreement between the customer and H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR the advertising use can be excluded.

(3) The transfer of granted rights of use to third parties and/or multiple uses require the consent of H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR. By corresponding agreement between the customer and H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR the transfer can be explicitly permitted by H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR.

(4) The services created by H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR within the scope of the order may not be changed by the customer or third persons in the original or reproduction. This applies to any imitation of the entire work or parts of the work.

(2) The Customer is responsible for setting up and maintaining its IT infrastructure, such as for an online store, websites and accesses to advertising platforms (e.g. Facebook advertising account etc.) etc. itself.

(3) By the approval, release or acceptance of the customer of the rendered service of H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR, the customer assumes the responsibility regarding the correctness of texts and images, with the consequence that a liability in this regard of H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR is excluded. In particular, the customer checks any industrial property rights and other rights of third parties. H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR is not liable for the legal, especially competition and trademark law admissibility of the intended use. H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR is to be informed immediately if the customer has doubts about the admissibility of the advertising measure under competition law. The admissibility under competition law is to be checked by the customer.

(4) The CUSTOMER will only award contracts to other agencies or service providers in connection with the respective order after consultation and agreement with H&R Vertriebskonzepte GbR.

(5) The Customer shall ensure compliance with applicable laws, in particular competition law, criminal law, personal rights, data protection and telecommunications law.

If a contract has been concluded for an indefinite period of time, it can be terminated by the contracting parties with a notice period of 3 months to the end of the month.
