3. Scope of Services

3.1 Scope, content, objectives, deliverables, timeline as well as on-site/remote execution are defined in the offer or project agreement.

5. Dates, Deadlines, Impediments

5.1 Dates/deadlines are binding only if confirmed as binding in writing.

6. Acceptance (where applicable)

6.1 For deliverables (e.g., concepts, documents, presentations, process designs), acceptance is effected by written approval or deemed accepted if the Client does not notify material defects in writing within 10 business days after delivery.
6.2 Changes/extensions after acceptance are treated as change requests and will be offered/invoiced separately.

7. Fees, Expenses, Travel Costs

7.1 Prices agreed in the offer/contract apply (fixed price, daily rate, hourly rate). All amounts are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise.
7.2 Travel time, travel/accommodation costs and other expenses are invoiced according to the offer or at actual cost.

8. Payment Terms

8.1 Invoices are due net within 14 days from invoice date, without deduction.
8.2 In case of late payment, the Contractor may charge statutory default interest and reminder fees and may suspend services until full payment is received.

12. Force Majeure

12.1 Events outside the Contractor’s control (e.g., power/internet outages, strikes, natural events, official measures) release the Contractor from its obligations for the duration and extent of the disruption.

15.2 To the extent legally permissible, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with the contractual relationship is Steyr, Austria, namely the court with subject-matter jurisdiction in Steyr (Regional Court Steyr “Landesgericht Steyr” or District Court Steyr “Bezirksgericht Steyr”, depending on jurisdiction).
