§ 4 Contract Length
(1) Barring the provider’s termination of the contract, the contract will run until 1 service is provided. The total price for the employee engagement service is calculated based on the following components: €50 per employee is calculated. Example: 50 employees x €50 = €2,500. The following components are calculated for the language services: €0.15-€0.25/word (translations), €0.05-€0.10/wort (proofreading), €2-€5/started audio minute (transcriptions).
(1) All prices are final prices and contain no value added tax, consistent with § 19 Abs. 1 UStG.
(1) The customer exclusively has the following options for making payments: Payment in advance through a bank transfer. Additional payment methods are not offered and will be rejected.
(2) The invoiced amount is to be transferred in advance of service to the account listed on the invoice that was sent by email and which contains all necessary details for the transaction. The use of a trustee service/payment servicer makes it possible for the provider and customer to settle the payment amongst each other. In doing so, the trustee service/payment servicer forwards the payment from the customer to the provider. Additional information can be obtained on the internet website of the trustee service/payment servicer in question. The customer is obligated to pay or transfer the stated amount on the invoice to the provided account within 14 days after receipt of the invoice. The payment is due without delay starting from the invoice date. Upon expiration of the payment deadline, the customer goes into default without notice. The customer has no right of retention not based on the same contract agreement. The customer has no right to compensation through demands unless this is undisputed or otherwise legally determined.

The delivery of the documents to be edited through the language services is done in accordance with the editing deadline provided by the customer in advance. The customer will be promptly notified of delays. If the provider is experiencing a long-term delivery hindrance, force majeure in particular, although a contract has been formed, the provider cannot be held liable and has the right to withdraw from the contract with the customer. The customer will be immediately notified and refunded related provisions, payments in particular.

Delivery of the language documents to be edited through the language services can be done prior to balancing the invoice. The corresponding invoice must be paid within no later than 14 days of the delivery date.
(3) Any breach of the customer’s obligation to cooperate can lead to termination of the contract by the provider, in which case delivery of the end report is precluded.
§ 8 Obligation to Cooperate
(1) Upon receipt of the offer, the customer must either personally handle the distribution of the employee satisfaction surveys to the employees (e.g. by using his email service) or the customer can decide to leave this assignment to the provider. For the latter, it is imperative that the customer sends the provider the email addresses of his employees so that the employee satisfaction surveys can be properly distributed. Failure on the part of the customer to send the email addresses to the provider or failure to personally distribute the surveys prevents the performance of the provider’s service.
(2) The customer is responsible for ensuring that all of his employees fill out the employee satisfaction survey and submit it. Failures to fill out the survey will lead to non-representative data and results for which the provider accepts no liability.
(3) The customer is responsible for implementing the results, measures and strategies received in the provider’s end report. The provider is not responsible for the implementation.

Impacts of Revocation

For this refund, we use the same form of payment that you used for the original transaction unless we have clearly arranged an alternative with you. We will never charge you fees associated with this refund.
If you have requested that the services be commenced during the period of cancellation, you must pay us an amount equal to the proportion of services already provided to you at the time you inform us of your choice to exercise the right of revocation in respect of this contract in comparison with the total volume of services provided in the contract.
