I General information

1 Orders will be implemented only on the basis of the following general terms and conditions of Drechsler Medien (hereinafter "Provider"). Deliveries, services and offers are made only on the basis of the terms and conditions. Deviating terms and conditions of the contractual partner (hereinafter „Principal"), will require written confirmation from the Provider. The contract will be based on the German language version only

2 The invalidity of individual provisions of this contract or its components will not affect the effectiveness of any remaining provisions. The parties will replace any invalid provision in good faith with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to their economic intention, provided that by doing so no significant changes to the content of the contract will occur; the same will apply if no explicit provisions have been made on any issue on which provisions must be made.

3 The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all claims arising from the business relationship will be Borna, Germany. In addition, the Provider will be entitled to bring any action forward at the customer's general place of jurisdiction. This will not apply to consumers.

4 By placing the order, the customer acknowledges the exclusive validity of these terms and conditions.

5 These general terms and conditions will come into effect from 1. October 2008 onwards and replace all previous versions of the general terms and conditions of Rene Drechsler Medien.

 

II Conclusion of contract

1 The contract between the Provider and the Principal will be deemed concluded either by Provider's written order confirmation by letter, fax or email or by Provider implementing the order. The Provider is entitled to reject any orders that have not yet been confirmed without any reason.

2 Orders and changes to orders made verbally will only become effective if confirmed in writing by the Provider.

3 The Provider reserves the right to reject orders and terminate contracts that have already been concluded without notice, if the transmitted print data contain pornographic, fascist, radical content or content that violates the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany.

4 After conclusion of the contract, the Principal will not be entitled to change any order data. Any change by the Principal is deemed an offer to the Provider to agree on an understanding of revocation concerning the first order combined with an offer to conclude a new contract for the production and delivery of printed material. The Provider reserves the right to reject this offer. If the Provider consents to the Principal's offer, this may be associated with the reimbursement of costs incurred. The Principal will be notified of these costs in the course of the change process.

5 The contractual relationship is entered into solely between the Provider and the Principal. This also applies if the customer acts as a reseller (agency, etc.).

6 The submission of printed documents in any form, in particular through electronic transmission or on physical media is considered an order if there is an intention present that printed material will be produced in a specific quantity and quality. If the Principal gives no further information, the Provider's usual prices as well as the next feasible completion date in production will apply.

7 If the order confirmation differs in essential respects from the order, it will be considered a new offer. In this case, any approval of this order confirmation will serve as acceptance of the offer and conclusion of the contract, if the Principal makes an identical declaration.

8 The contract between the Provider and the Principal will be deemed concluded at the latest upon acceptance or use of the goods or services delivered by the Provider or any third parties designated by it.

 

III. Communication,notifications

2 In particular, the Principal will warrant that by setting its spam filter and email clients (local and/or those at its provider's site) it may receive emails from the Provider. This email address will also be valid by implication for future orders until the Principal revokes the address or provides notification of any change.

3 Provider's notifications sent via email to the email address referred to in paragraph 1 will be deemed received by the Principal upon sending. The Provider will only be liable for transmission errors, if it is responsible for the cause of the error. The Principal may prove that any communication submitted has not been received by it for reasons beyond its control.

4 The Provider is not obliged to notify the Principal of missing, incorrect or non-functional email addresses within the meaning of paragraph 1. The Principal may prove that such a communication would have been technically possible and reasonable.

Such work will be calculated based on time taken. If the calculated cost for work in accordance with paragraph 1 do not exceed ten per cent of the agreed remuneration, Principal's consent for such additional costs will be deemed to have been provided even if it was not consulted in advance. The Principal will have to give its consent to pay for any additional costs incurred in connection with any preparatory work in accordance with paragraph 3, if they exceed ten per cent of the agreed remuneration for the order.

6 If the Provider rescind the contract due to an important reason or if the Principal rescinds the contract without any important reason, the Provider will be entitled to the agreed upon remuneration for the order less any saved expenses. The Principal will be entitled to prove any lesser damage. An important reason will be, in particular, if the Principal fails to provide the print data in time and also fails to do so after having been set a reasonable grace period by the Provider.
