Validity
For our services regarding the conception, programming and design of websites on the one hand and their maintenance on the other hand as well as for payments to us, unless something different has been expressly agreed, these terms and conditions apply exclusively. Deviating terms and conditions of the client are only binding for us if we expressly acknowledge them in writing.
OFFERS, ACCEPTANCE OF THE ORDER
Our offers are subject to change and non-binding, unless a binding period was expressly stated in the offer. The acceptance of an order is only binding for us if it has been confirmed by us in writing or by email.

Payments are to be made by transfer to our account, without any deductions, free of charge and within 14 days of the invoice date.If the payment deadline is exceeded, we are entitled to charge interest on arrears at an annual rate of ten percentage points above the applicable base rate plus the costs of the reminder, but at least 12% of the total claim annually. This does not exclude further consequences of default.
The withholding of payments or offsetting against counterclaims of the customer that we dispute are excluded.
The following applies to project orders:
We are entitled to invoice a first partial payment of 30% of the total order value upon acceptance of the order. Before full payment of this first partial payment (receipt by us), we are not obliged to perform our contractual services from the order, in particular, any agreed performance periods do not begin until we have received the first partial payment.
We are also entitled to invoice a further partial payment of 50% of the total order value after the service has been handed over to the client for the purpose of setting the content and its possible training. After completion of the order, which is usually the online position of the website, but no later than four weeks after handover, we are entitled to submit a final invoice.
The following applies to ongoing, in particular maintenance, orders:

If the agreed or extended service deadlines are exceeded by more than four weeks, the client is entitled to withdraw from the contract by setting a grace period of 14 days by means of a registered letter. Claims for damages by the customer are excluded in this case, unless he can prove gross negligence on our part.
We reserve the right to present interim results to the client for acceptance and approval or for the agreed performance of our own services. The client is obliged to declare acceptance and approval within one week or to refuse. The refusal may only take place for an objectively justified reason and also requires the specification of reasons that enable us to eliminate them.
