General terms of business, delivery and payment and privacy policy
of Fogra Forschungsinstitut für Medientechnologien e.V. (Research Institute for Media Technologies), Einsteinring 1a, 85609 Aschheim, Germany
1. These conditions apply to businesses as laid down by § 14 BGB [German Civil Code].
4. With the foregoing exception [3], liability is limited to the sum of EUR 500,000.00. A higher liability may be agreed.
2. The extent of the work to be performed by the contractor will be stipulated in writing when the purchase order is placed. If alterations or extensions of the stipulated scope of the purchase order should arise in connection with the due fulfilment of the purchase order, those alterations or extensions are to be additionally agreed upon in writing in advance. In this event, the client has the right to withdraw from the contract if, in view of the alterations or extensions, he can no longer be reasonably expected to adhere to the contract. However, in accordance with § 649 BGB [German Civil Code] the client is to pay the agreed remuneration, or an appropriate remuneration if there has been no such agreement.
3. The client can only set off an amount against an undisputed debt or a debt established by the force of law. A client who is a full trader as defined in the HGB [commercial code] has no rights of retention. However, the rights under § 320 BGB [German civil code] are preserved provided and to the extent that the contractor has not fulfilled his obligations under Section VI. 3. of the present terms of business.
4. In addition to instances where there are grounds for uncertainty [§ 321 BGB / German Civil Code], the contractor may exercise a right of retention if the client is in arrears in payment for deliveries that are based on the same legal relationship.
5. In accordance with § 369 HGB [commercial code], the contractor has a right to retain any printed submissions, stamped submissions, manuscripts, raw materials and other objects which have been delivered by the client, until all the amounts owed which are due as a result of the business relationship have been settled in full.
4. Should the contractor decline to make good or the subsequent making good fails or is not acceptable to the client, the client, at its discretion, can either withdraw from the contract or demand the reduction of the amount due [reduction] or damages. The right to withdraw can only be exercised in the event of a substantial defect. It lapses in the event that the client does not give notice of withdrawal within 14 days at the latest of the communication of the refusal to make good or the failure to make good or within 14 days at the latest of the date on which it becomes clear that the making good is not acceptable to the client. The contractor shall only pay damages in the event of the further provisions of section VIII 2 and also – if the contractor has declined to make good – section VIII. 3.
7. Material [including data carriers] delivered by the client or by a third party working on its behalf do not have to be examined by the contractor unless it is incumbent upon contractor on the grounds of experience with the delivered material, intention or gross negligence.
2. The liability of the contractor, its legal representative and agents for breach of duty and offences is limited to intention and gross negligence. In the event of breaches of duties that are fundamental to the contract [cardinal duties], the contractor, its legal representative and agents shall also be liable for lesser negligence. In any even the liability is limited to foreseeable damages typical for the contract.
The client agrees that submitted material [eg. unprinted or printed paper, inks, etc.] will normally be disposed of 3 months after the submission of the Expert Opinion by the contractor by means of local government enterprises [eg. paper bins]. Should the client not wish this to happen, it must notify the contractor in writing thereof. The material will then be returned at the expense of the client.
1. The claims of the client for breach of duty and offence lapse after 12 months. This shall not apply in so far as the law in §§ 438 Abs. 1 Nr. 2, 479 Abs. 1 [recourse claim] and 634 a Abs. 1 Nr. 2 1. Alternative [building defects] BGB specifies longer periods or the contractor is liable due to intent or gross negligence.
2. The place of jurisdiction for the assertion of claims for both contracting parties is Munich, provided that the requirements under § 38 ZPO [code of civil procedure] are met. This applies in particular to proceedings for debt.
