(2) The General Terms and Conditions shall only apply if Customer is a Business Customer or a legal entity or special fund organized under public law.

(3) Standard business conditions of the Customer do not apply, regardless of whether or not we expressly object to them in a particular case.

(4) Our contracts with the Customer shall be made exclusively in the German or English language. Therefore, if the order is made in German, exclusively the German version of these General Terms and Conditions shall be relevant. If the order is made in English, exclusively the English version of these General Terms and Conditions shall be relevant.

2. Conclusion of Contract

(1) Our offerings shown in the internet are non-binding.

(2) Unless otherwise noted in our offer, we shall be bound to our offers and suggested prices for 14 calendar days after dispatch. The Customer shall be entitled to accept the offer within this period. The date and time we receive the Customers acceptance decides whether this time limit has been adhered to.

(2) Unless expressly otherwise agreed by us, all shipments by us will be made upon receipt of an invoice.

4. Customer’s responsibility for presentation / video

(1) The Customer is solely responsible for the presentation / video. Particularly this means, that he has to provide us with a quality-appropriate file in a standard format.

(2) The Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that the presentation / video can actually be used in the manner desired by it (for example, all image licenses are available for the desired use). It is the sole responsibility of the Customer that the execution of the order does not violate the rights of third parties, in particular copyrights. The customer has to indemnify us from all claims of third parties due to such an infringement.

(3) We are entitled to demand appropriate evidence from the Customer, in particular a declaration of consent from speakers whose presentation / video should be published.

5. Liability

(2) In the case of simple negligence of our bodies, legal representatives, employees or other vicarious agents we shall not be liable unless it is not a violation of essential contractual obligations. Essential to the contract are the obligation to timely delivery and installation of the delivery item, whose freedom from defects in title and possesses and other material defects that affect its functionality or serviceability more than just insignificantly, as well as advisory, protective and custody duties that enable the Customer to use the contractual item or the protection of the life or limb of the Customer's personnel or the protection of their property from significant damage.

(3) Insofar as we are liable for damages in accordance with Sec. 5 (2), this liability is limited to damages which we foresaw at the conclusion of the contract as a possible consequence of a breach of contract or which we should have foreseen by applying due diligence. Indirect damage and consequential damage, which are the result of defects of the delivery item, are also only substitutable insofar as such damage can typically be expected in the case of the intended use of the delivery item. Liability for production losses of the Customer is excluded.

(4) In the event of liability for simple negligence, our obligation to make compensation for property damage and the resulting further financial losses is limited to an amount of EUR [einfügen] per claim (corresponding to the current cover sum of our product liability insurance or third party insurance), even if this is a case of infringement of obligations essential to the contract.

(5) Any exclusion or limitation of liability in this Terms shall also apply to the benefit of our agents and servants.
