1. scope of contract and validity

All orders and agreements shall only be legally binding if they are signed by the contractor ("D3EIF GmbH") in writing and in accordance with the company's specifications and shall only be binding to the extent stated in the order confirmation. Terms and conditions of purchase and general terms and conditions of the principal ("Customer") are hereby excluded for the present legal transaction and the entire business relationship. Offers are always subject to change without notice.

2. performance and testing

2.1 The subject of an order may be:

- Development of organisational concepts

- Global and detailed analyses

- Creation of individual programmes

- Delivery of library (standard) programmes

- Acquisition of usage rights for software products

- Acquisition of licences for the use of works

- Participation in commissioning (changeover support)

- Telephone consultation

- programme maintenance

- Creation of programme carriers

-Accessibility and provision of online platforms (online service) e.g. "Drip".

- Other services

2.2 The development of individual organisational concepts and programmes shall be carried out according to the type and scope of the binding information, documents and aids provided in full by the client. This also includes practice-oriented test data as well as test facilities to a sufficient extent, which the client shall provide in a timely manner, in normal working hours and at its own expense. If the client is already working in live operation on the system provided for testing, the responsibility for securing the live data lies with the client.

2.3 The basis for the creation of individual programmes is the written performance specification which the contractor prepares against cost calculation on the basis of the documents and information made available to him or which the client makes available. This performance specification is to be checked by the client for correctness and completeness and to be marked with his approval. Requests for changes occurring at a later date may lead to separate agreements on dates and prices.

2.4 Individually created software or programme adaptations require a programme acceptance by the client for the respective programme package at the latest four weeks after delivery. This shall be confirmed in a protocol by the Client. (Check for correctness and completeness on the basis of the service description accepted by the contractor by means of the test data provided under point 2.2). If the client allows the period of four weeks to elapse without accepting the programme, the software supplied shall be deemed to have been accepted on the end date of the said period. If the client uses the software in live operation, the software shall be deemed to have been accepted in any case.

Any defects that occur, i.e. deviations from the service description agreed in writing, shall be reported by the Client to the Contractor with sufficient documentation, who shall endeavour to remedy the defects as quickly as possible. If there are significant defects reported in writing, i.e. real operation cannot be started or continued, a new acceptance is required after the defects have been rectified.

The Client is not entitled to refuse acceptance of software due to immaterial defects.

2.5 When ordering library (standard) programmes and online services, the client confirms with the order that he is aware of the scope of services of the ordered programmes or online platforms.

2.6 Should it become apparent in the course of the work that the execution of the order in accordance with the performance specification is actually or legally impossible, the contractor is obliged to notify the client of this immediately. If the Client does not amend the service description or create the preconditions for execution to become possible, the Contractor may refuse execution. If the impossibility of execution is the result of a failure on the part of the client or a subsequent change to the service description by the client, the contractor is entitled to withdraw from the order. The costs and expenses incurred for the contractor's activities up to that point as well as any dismantling costs shall be reimbursed by the client.

2.7 Any dispatch of programme carriers, documentation and service descriptions shall be at the expense and risk of the Client. Any additional training and explanations requested by the client shall be invoiced separately. Insurance shall only be provided at the request of the client.

2.8 We expressly point out that a "barrier-free design (of websites) within the meaning of the Federal Act on the Equalisation of Persons with Disabilities (Federal Act on the Equalisation of Persons with Disabilities - BGStG)" is not included in the offer, unless this was requested separately/individually by the client. If the barrier-free design has not been agreed, it shall be incumbent on the Client to review the service for its permissibility with regard to the Federal Disability Equality Act (Bundes-Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz - BGStG). Likewise, the Client shall review the content provided by it for its legal admissibility, in particular under competition, trademark, copyright and administrative law. The contractor shall not be liable for the legal admissibility of content in the event of slight negligence or after fulfilling any duty to warn the client if the content was provided by the client.

2.9 The websites, the content presented and the facilities of the online service are subject to change. The contractor reserves the right to update and change the web pages, the content presented and the facilities of the online service as often as necessary. Temporary, technically-related failures of the online service or delays in establishing connections cannot be completely ruled out. The Contractor shall remedy any interruption or other technical malfunction of which it becomes aware without culpable delay.
