Deviating terms of the Client shall not be recognised unless the Contractor expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

§ 2 Subject of the Contract

The Contractor provides consulting and support services, the specific scope of which is defined in an individual proposal or project contract. The Contractor is obligated to provide a service, not a specific result, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

2. All prices are exclusive of statutory VAT.
3. Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date without deduction.
4. Travel and accommodation costs are charged separately based on actual expenses and prior agreement.

§ 4 Client's Duties to Cooperate

The Client shall provide all information, documents, and access required for the performance of the engagement in a timely and complete manner. Delays attributable to insufficient cooperation shall not be at the expense of the Contractor.

§ 5 Confidentiality

Both parties undertake to keep confidential all confidential information received in the course of the collaboration and to use it only for the agreed purposes. This obligation shall continue beyond the termination of the contract.

§ 6 Liability

1. The Contractor shall be liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence.
2. In cases of slight negligence, the Contractor shall only be liable for the breach of material contractual obligations, limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage.
3. Liability for indirect damages, in particular loss of profit, is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

§ 7 Term and Termination

Individual engagements end upon completion of the agreed services. Ongoing consulting contracts may be terminated by either party with three months' notice to the end of the month, unless otherwise agreed.

The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected.

§ 8 Intellectual Property

All concepts, methods, models, and materials created by the Contractor in the course of the consulting engagement remain the intellectual property of the Contractor. The Client receives a non-exclusive right of use for the agreed purpose.

§ 9 Final Provisions

1. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply.
2. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes shall be Augsburg, provided the Client is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law.
3. Should individual provisions of these GTC be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
