2. They apply exclusively even if the tenant refers to divergent or supplementary terms and conditions in a confirmation. Provisions which amend or annul these conditions only apply after written confirmation by the landlord. Conflicting confirmations of order by the tenant referring to the tenant’s General Terms and Conditions of Business are hereby contradicted; this also applies to references to the tenant’s own General Terms and Conditions of Business in printed forms.
3. The General Terms and Conditions of Business currently applicable may be seen at any time on the website of the landlord (www.xxxxxxx.com). The inclusion and interpretation of these Terms & Conditions of Business and the conclusion and execution of the leasing contract with the tenants are governed exclusively by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany.
§ 2. Leased Premises, Purpose of Use, CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT
1. The landlord is the owner of Brand Retail Space in the Basement of Herdweg 59, 70174 Stuttgart. The landlord leases to the tenant the following space: Basement Floor of the Building Herdweg 59, 70174 Stuttgart, including toilets in the basement and terrace (hereinafter “leased space”).
2. During the leasing period the tenant will use the leased space for events, workshop(s), meetings, lectures and other events of that kind. The leased space shall not be used as a selling point, a (branch) office or any other long-term business action. Any change in the nature of the agreed use carried on in the leased premises shall be subject to the landlord´s prior written consent. Extra services (e.g. catering, photographer, dj etc.) shall be ordered exclusively through the landlord; the tenant shall not provide such services itself or procure them from a third party without prior written consent of the landlord.
3. A lease contract can only be concluded through a written document (“Template Lease of Business Premises – Brand Retail Space”). The landlord does not grant protection of competition or exclusive use for any industry category.
4. The tenant has made a thorough inspection of the leased premises and is therefore familiar with its present condition. It shall be the responsibility solely of the tenant that the leased premises are technically and in general suitable for the agreed use.
5. All collateral agreements and amendments to the lease contract require the written confirmation of the landlord to be valid. Communication by fax and/or email is also deemed to be written form.
§ 3. Term of Lease
1. The lease shall begin on the agreed time and date #1 and end on the agreed time and date #2 according to the signed lease contract. The term of lease cannot be prolongated without prior written consent of the landlord. The lease shall not be deemed renewed for an indefinite time if the tenant continues the use of the leased premises beyond the end of the term of lease. § 545 of the German Civil Code shall be excluded.
2. The parties take a joint record at the beginning and the end of the term of lease. In the joint record all defects, deficits and damages of the leased space, the interior, the technical equipment etc. shall be listed and photographed.
§ 4 Total Compensation / Rent / VAT
1. The total compensation comprises the net rent and the net compensation for extras and services (e.g. catering). at If there is a period exceeding four months between the conclusion of a lease contract and the start of term of lease, the landlord my make reasonable adjustments of the total compensation for a legitimate reason (e.g. suppliers like a catering service raised prices).
2. 50% of the total compensation shall be payable in advance at the day the leasing contract is signed. Unless otherwise agreed with the tenant, the other 50% must be payed within ten days after receipt of the respective invoice without deduction. Other conditions of payment need a prior written consent of the landlord. The tenant shall, at the request of the landlord, grant the landlord a direct debit authorization (“Lastschriftermächtigung”).
3. The landlord has waived exemption of VAT pursuant to § 4 Nr. 12 a) of the German VAT Act in respect of leasing of the leased premises pursuant to § 9 of the German VAT Act (VAT option). Therefore, the tenant shall pay VAT at the rate applicable at the time in question (currently 19%) in addition to the rent / total compensation. Due to tax regulations (§ 9 subsection 2 German VAT Act) the tenant undertakes to use the leased premises exclusively for purposes that do not preclude deduction of input tax on the part of the tenant pursuant to the statutory provisions of law applicable at the time of conclusion hereof. Furthermore, the tenant undertakes to provide the landlord at its request and without delay at any time with those documents that the landlord requires in order to discharge its disclosure obligations towards the fiscal authorities pursuant to § 9 subsection 2 of the German VAT Act. Hence the landlord can require the tenant to submit those documents and/or statements that the fiscal authority with which it is registered requires.
§ 5 LIABILITY OF THE LANDLORD
1. The statutory no-fault liability of the landlord for initial defects of the leased premises is hereby excluded.
2. The tenant shall not be entitled to claim damages, including damages based on any pre-contractual obligations or on tort, unless arising by

negligent violation of a material contractual duty by the landlord or any of its agents or servants; or
negligence of the landlord or landlord´s agents and servants in respect of landlord´s duties in a way causing injury to life, body or health; or
lack of a guaranteed quality of the leased premises; or
any compulsory statutory liability of the landlord or the landlord´s agents and servants.

Any claims by tenant on such nuisance shall be excluded.
5. Any exclusion or limitation of liability in these General Terms shall also apply to the benefit of landlord´s agents and servants.

3. LIGANOVA reserves the right to amend these General Terms & Conditions where this is not unreasonable for the tenant. This is the case regarding terms of less importance where the amendment does not cause a change to the overall structure of the leasing contract. Terms of greater importance include- without limitation -provisions concerning the nature and scope of the contractually agreed services, the term and the termination of the leasing contract. The tenant will be notified of the amendment in due time.
If individual provisions of these General Terms & Conditions are or become invalid this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions or the lease contract. The invalid provision is to be replaced by a valid provision which comes closest to the economic meaning and intent of the invalid clause.
