General Terms & Conditions

Note: The German version of these terms is the legally binding version. This English translation is provided for convenience only. German law applies.

§ 1 Scope

(1) These General Terms and Conditions ("GTC") apply to all advisory and accompanying services of JP Consulting (the "Provider") towards entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 of the German Civil Code ("Client").

(2) Differing, conflicting or supplementary terms of the Client shall only become part of the contract where the Provider has expressly agreed in writing to their applicability.

§ 2 Subject of the agreement

(1) The subject of the agreement is the advisory service specifically described in the respective offer or order. The Provider owes a careful, professional rendering of the agreed service; a particular economic outcome is not owed unless expressly agreed otherwise.

(2) Extensions or changes to the scope of services require a written agreement.

§ 3 Client cooperation

The Client provides all information, documents and contacts required for the provision of services in due time. Delays caused by the Client extend the agreed deadlines accordingly.

§ 4 Compensation and payment terms

(1) Compensation is set out in the respective offer or order letter. Unless otherwise agreed, the Provider's daily rates at the time of contract conclusion apply.

(2) Expenses (e.g. travel costs) are billed according to actual cost.

(3) Invoices are due for payment within 14 days of receipt without deduction.

§ 5 Confidentiality and data protection

Both parties undertake to keep all confidential information obtained in the course of their cooperation secret and to use it only to fulfil the contract. The processing of personal data takes place in accordance with the GDPR; see also the Privacy Notice.

§ 6 Usage rights

(1) The Client receives a simple, non-exclusive right of use to the work results created during the engagement for its internal purposes.

(2) The Provider remains entitled to use the general know-how acquired during the engagement for other engagements, provided no confidentiality interests of the Client are infringed.

§ 7 Liability

(1) The Provider is liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health and for damages caused by intent or gross negligence.

(2) Otherwise, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract; liability per engagement is capped at the engagement value, unless mandatory statutory provisions provide otherwise.

§ 8 Termination

Engagements may be terminated by either party with reasonable notice. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. Services already rendered are to be remunerated pro rata.

§ 9 Final provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

(2) The place of performance and exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship is the registered seat of the Provider, provided the Client is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.

(3) Should any provision of these GTC be or become invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
