Article 2 – Applicability

These terms and conditions apply to all offers from Adesign, and to all agreements concluded with the client.

Deviations from these terms and conditions are only binding if and insofar as they have been agreed in writing between the parties.

The applicability of any general purchasing or other terms and conditions of the client is expressly rejected.

Article 3 – Quotations, offers

All quotations and offers from Adesign are without obligation, unless stated otherwise.

A quotation is valid for the period stated in the quotation; in the absence thereof, a period of 30 days applies, unless stated otherwise.

The client is bound by the quotation if he has accepted it in writing or electronically within the validity period and Adesign has confirmed this acceptance.

Price quotations are exclusive of VAT and other government levies, unless stated otherwise.

Article 4 – Formation of the agreement / amendment

The agreement is formed at the moment that Adesign has confirmed the client’s acceptance of the quotation in writing or electronically, or (if earlier) has started with the execution.

Amendments or additions to the agreement are only valid if they have been confirmed in writing or electronically by Adesign. Any additional costs or postponements as a result of changes will be borne by the client.

Cancellation of the assignment by the client is only possible as long as Adesign has not yet started with the execution. In the event of cancellation, the client is obliged to reimburse the costs incurred by Adesign, preparation costs and any lost profit.

Article 5 – Price, price change

The price agreed in the agreement applies exclusively to the agreed services/products in accordance with the agreement.

Adesign reserves the right to increase the price if unforeseen costs increase after the conclusion of the agreement (such as material prices, wages, government levies) or if the client makes changes.

If no price has been agreed, the price will be determined on the basis of Adesign’s usual rates at the time of execution.

Article 6 – Payment

Unless otherwise agreed, payment must be made within 30 days of the invoice date, without discount or set-off.

If the payment term is exceeded, the client is legally in default, without notice of default, and owes the statutory commercial interest and any collection costs.

Adesign has the right (for example, with new or doubtful clients) to demand advance payment or security.

Article 7 – Delivery, retention of title

Delivery of services takes place in the manner agreed by the parties; if no method has been agreed, delivery takes place at Adesign’s discretion.

Ownership of delivered products remains with Adesign until the client has made full payment, including interest, costs and any claims for non-compliance.

The risk of loss, damage or delay passes to the client at the time of delivery or as soon as the client is in default of taking delivery of the delivered goods.

Article 8 – Term of execution

Terms of execution specified by Adesign are indicative, unless otherwise agreed in writing and explicitly stated as a strict deadline.

Adesign is not liable for delays if the client has not provided the information or cooperation required for the execution (on time), or has requested a change to the assignment.

Article 9 – Inspection upon delivery

The client is obliged to investigate the delivered goods immediately or at least within 14 days. Any defects must be reported in writing by the client to Adesign within this period.

If the client has put the delivered goods into use, the execution is deemed to be sound.

Article 10 – Intellectual property rights

All designs, models, drawings, files, products and the like produced by Adesign are protected by copyright.

The client obtains – provided that full payment has been made – a right of use for the agreed purpose. Ownership and copyrights remain with Adesign, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Multiplication, disclosure or modification of the designs/materials is not permitted without the written permission of Adesign.

Article 11 – Liability

Adesign’s liability towards the client is limited to compensation for direct damage up to a maximum of the invoice amount of the relevant assignment.

Adesign is not liable for indirect damage, consequential damage, lost profit or damage due to the use of the delivered goods.

The client indemnifies Adesign against claims from third parties that are related to the execution of the assignment by the client-supplied materials or specifications.
