  6. These General Terms and Conditions also apply to additional assignments and follow-up assignments and Services of the client.
  7. These Terms and Conditions also apply to any Agreement in which third parties are involved for the implementation by the contractor.

ARTICLE 3. Establishment of the Agreement

The consent form must be signed separately and forms an integral part of the Agreement.

ARTICLE 5. Execution of the Agreement

  1. Every Agreement leads to a best effort obligation for the contractor, whereby the  contractor is obliged to perform its work to the best of its knowledge and ability, in accordance with the requirements of good workmanship, the current state of the field and science.

  5. If a term has been agreed for the completion of certain work by the contractor, this is not a strict deadline, unless expressly agreed otherwise. Exceeding the agreed term therefore does not constitute an attributable shortcoming on the part of the contractor. For that reason, the client cannot dissolve the Agreement and is not entitled to compensation.
  6. If the agreed term is exceeded, the client may set a new, reasonable term within which the contractor must perform the agreement.
  7. When the contractor is instructed to perform an assignment or part thereof in collaboration with a third party, the client will determine in consultation with all parties involved what everyone’s duties are.
  8. If it appears during a treatment process that it is desirable for proper implementation to change the agreed duration or content, the parties will proceed to amend the agreement in good time and in mutual consultation. As a result, the originally agreed amount can also be increased. The contractor will provide a quotation in advance as much as possible.
