(1) Eurotext AG provides translation, interpreting, and foreign language services. If the subject matter of the Agreement is translations or supplying of other linguistic work products, the term Work is used hereinafter.<\/p>\n
(2) These General Terms and Conditions (GTCs) apply to all of our business relationships with our Clients. These GTCs only apply if the Client is an entrepreneur under BGB \u00a7 14, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law under BGB \u00a7 310(1).<\/p>\n
(3) Our GTCs apply exclusively. Deviating, conflicting, or additional general terms and conditions of the Client or of third parties shall not apply, even if we do not specifically reject the application thereof in the individual case. General terms and conditions of the Client or of third parties shall only be incorporated in the Agreement if and in the extent to which we expressly consent to their applicability.<\/p>\n
(1) Our offers and presentations of services are conditional and nonbinding if they are not expressly identified as being binding or contain a specific deadline for acceptance.<\/p>\n
(2) Placement of an order by the Client is considered to be a binding contractual offer. We may accept this contractual offer within 14 calendar days of receipt if the placement of the order does not render this impossible.<\/p>\n
(3) Acceptance may be declared by using our written order confirmation or by the performance of the service for the Client or by an effective offer to perform.<\/p>\n
(4) The Client shall provide to us all information and documents that are needed to prepare the translation or perform the other services (diagrams, explanations of abbreviations, company-specific lists of specialized terminology, previous translations, etc.). This shall be done promptly and without being requested to do so.<\/p>\n
(1) The Client shall provide the original text to us free of charge.<\/p>\n
(2) In matters that do not involve the translation per se, it is the responsibility of the Client to respect the rights of third parties.<\/p>\n
(3) Our services will be performed in accordance with the principles of good professional practice. Unless otherwise agreed, technical terms and expressions will be translated into the conventionally used, lexicographically acceptable, and generally understood version.<\/p>\n
(4) We shall translate the Work ourselves, or arrange to have it translated by third parties, duly observing any moral rights to the work, without additions, abridgments, or other changes in the original text, and as stipulated in the individual order.<\/p>\n
(5) We are responsible for ensuring that translations do not contain errors or defects that destroy or reduce the value of the translation with respect to the original text.<\/p>\n
(6) We shall provide the Work in the agreed format and by means of the agreed medium.<\/p>\n
(1) In the event that we obtain any copyrights or similar intellectual property rights through performing the translation, we shall assign to the Client all exclusive usage rights, not limited with regard to time, territory, and content.<\/p>\n
(2) The assignment of these rights shall occur upon payment of all invoices pertaining to the order. We shall retain usage rights to services and works provided by us that have not yet been fully paid for upon the termination of the Agreement.<\/p>\n
(3) The Client may assign all rights thereby granted to it to third parties, or it may grant usage rights to these rights to third parties. Our approval is not required for this purpose.<\/p>\n
(4) If the Client edits the Work, or arranges to have the Work edited, the Client shall refrain from adversely altering the Work in ways that are suitable for jeopardizing our intellectual or personal rights.<\/p>\n
(1) Place of performance for all responsibilities arising from the contractual relationship is the location of the headquarters of Eurotext AG, unless otherwise stipulated.<\/p>\n
(2) At the request of the Client, and at Client\u2019s expense, the Work will also be delivered to other destinations, or the service will be performed at a different location. Unless otherwise agreed, we may specify the type of delivery (specifically: freight forwarder, delivery route, packaging). Depending on the Agreement with the Client, translations shall be delivered via an FTP server, our translation portal, email, regular mail, or courier. The delivery period is deemed to be met as soon as the item is available for pickup on the agreed servers, sent via email, or handed over to the agreed freight forwarder. Delivery periods and dates are based on the time of hand-off to the carrier, driver, or third parties otherwise responsible for transport.<\/p>\n
(3) The delivery period shall be agreed upon on an individual basis. If this is not the case, the delivery period will be approximately 3<\/strong> weeks from the execution of the Agreement.<\/p>\n (1) The risk of accidental destruction and accidental deterioration of the Work shall be transferred to the Client by no later than the handover to the Client. If an acceptance process is to be performed, this process shall govern the transfer of risk.<\/p>\n (2) However, upon shipment the risk of accidental destruction and accidental deterioration of the Work, as well as the risk of delay, shall already be transferred to the Client<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (1) Unless otherwise agreed, our current prices at the time when the Agreement is executed shall apply.<\/p>\n (2) The prices apply to the deliverables stated in the order confirmations. Additional or special products or services shall be invoiced separately. The prices are quoted in euros excluding applicable value-added tax. Unless otherwise agreed, early-payment discounts are already included in the invoiced amounts.<\/p>\n (3) The client is responsible for paying taxes and other official fees.<\/p>\n (4) The invoice amount shall be paid in full within 14 calendar days of invoicing and delivery of the goods \/ performance of the services, unless otherwise agreed.<\/p>\n (1) The Client is only entitled to offsetting upon counterclaims if the Client\u2019s counterclaims are not contested or are found to be final and binding by a court of law. In the event of defects in the goods\/service provided, the Client retains its opposing rights.<\/p>\n (2) The Client only has retention rights if its claim is found to be final and binding by a court of law or is not contested. In the event of defects in the goods\/service provided, the Client retains its opposing rights.<\/p>\n (1) Unless otherwise stipulated below, the provisions of law apply to the rights of the client in the event of defects.<\/p>\n (2) The Client must submit complaints about the Work\u2019s failure to comply with the requirements of \u00a7 3 without delay, and within 14 calendar days of delivery of the complete Work, stating the reasons in detail in writing. If a complaint is not submitted, or not submitted within the specified time period, the Work is deemed to be accepted.<\/p>\n (3) In the event of justified complaints, the Client has the right to correction of the existing translation or retranslation within a reasonable time period.<\/p>\n (4) If the defect is not successfully corrected, the Client may withdraw from the Agreement or may demand an appropriate reduction in the price. Unless otherwise indicated in these GTCs, further claims by the Client are barred.<\/p>\n (5) Deviating from statutory requirements, warranty claims expire within one year.<\/p>\n (1) Unless otherwise provided for in these GTCs, including the following provisions, we shall be liable to the extent provided for under law in the event of a breach of contractual and non-contractual duties.<\/p>\n (2) We shall be liable in accordance with the provisions of law for compensation for damages \u2013 regardless of the legal grounds \u2013 in the event of acts of intent and gross negligence. However, we shall not be liable for cases of simple negligence on the part of our company bodies, legal representatives, employees, or other persons assisting us in performing our obligations, except<\/p>\n (3) In the case of liability under subsection 2, sentence 2, however, our liability is limited to damages that we have foreseen upon execution of the Agreement as a possible consequence of breach of contract or that we should have foreseen upon the exercise of due diligence. Indirect damages and consequential damages resulting from defects in our contractual service, moreover, are only subject to compensation if such damages would normally be expected to occur if our contractual service were used as intended.<\/p>\n (4) The limitations of liability resulting from subsection 2 do not apply if we fraudulently conceal a defect or if we have provided a guarantee of the Work\u2019s suitability for use. The same applies to the rights of the Client under the Produkthaftungsgesetz [German product liability law].<\/p>\n (5) The Client may only withdraw from or terminate the Agreement as a consequence of a breach of a duty that does not comprise a defect if we are accountable for the breach of the duty. The Client does not have an unrestricted right to termination. Otherwise, the statutory requirements and legal consequences apply.<\/p>\n (6) The above exclusions from and limitations to liability apply to the same extent to our company bodies, legal representatives, employees, and other person assisting us in performing our obligations.<\/p>\n (7) If we provide technical information or provide advice and such activities are not included in the contractually agreed scope of services that we are to provide, this shall be done free of charge and excluded from any liability.<\/p>\n (1) If the item\/service being provided infringes a commercial intellectual property right or a copyright held by third party, we shall, at our discretion and at our expense, modify or replace the item\/service being provided so that rights of third parties are no longer infringed but the item\/service being provided continues to perform the contractually agreed functions, or we shall procure the usage right for the Client by entering into a license Agreement. If we are not able to do so within a reasonable time period, the Client may withdraw from the Agreement or reduce the compensation accordingly. Any rights of the Client to compensation for damages are subject to the restrictions of \u00a7 10 of these GTCs.<\/p>\n (2) The Client shall name the translator in an appropriate manner as the translation service provider without being expressly instructed to do so. If license Agreements are entered into with third parties, the Client shall likewise impose a corresponding requirement on the licensee.<\/p>\n (1) In performing their contractual obligations, the parties agree to comply with statutory provisions and requirements pertaining to data protection, in particular the provisions of the Bundesdatenschutz- und Telemediengesetz [German federal data protection and telemedia law].<\/p>\n (2) The parties to the Agreement shall treat as confidential all information and factual knowledge concerning the parties to the Agreement, manufacturing methods, business and operating secrets, data, and documents, provided that this information comes from the respective other party to the Agreement. Each party to the Agreement shall ensure that such a disclosure, even by third parties who work at or on behalf of a party to the Agreement, cannot occur.<\/p>\n (3) Excluded from the requirement to treat as confidential are data and information that<\/p>\n (1) The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply to these GTCs and to all legal relationships between us and the Client.

However, we also have the right to initiate legal proceedings in the Client\u2019s place of general jurisdiction. This provision does not apply to mandatory statutory requirements pertaining to exclusive jurisdictions.<\/p>\n (3) Changes and amendments to this Agreement must be in writing. This clause itself may only be modified in writing.<\/p>\n (4) If parts of this Agreement are or become null and void, the remaining parts of this Agreement are not affected thereby. In place of the clause that has become null and void, both parties shall agree to a clause that is in effect for both and that comes closest to the economic purpose of the part that is no longer in effect.<\/p>\n (5) If the Agreement or these GTCs contain gaps in their provisions, the legally applicable provisions that come closest to those that would fill these gaps and that the parties to the Agreement, had they noticed the gaps in the provisions, would have agreed upon based on the economic objectives of the Agreement and the purpose of these General Terms and Conditions shall apply.<\/p>\n Disclaimer: This is a translation of terms and conditions originally written in German.
