§1 General and scope

1.1 The following terms and conditions are decisive for all services and deliveries by Teamdb GmbH & Co. KG (hereinafter referred to as Teamdb). They also apply to all business relationships between Teamdb and the business partner. Conditions other than these, in particular any purchasing conditions of the business partner, only apply if they have been expressly agreed. Verbal agreements or assurances are invalid without written confirmation from Teamdb.

1.2 The "General Terms and Conditions" of Teamdb apply exclusively. These can be separately expanded by additional conditions in contracts for e.g. partner concept, software maintenance, software license use. Third-party products, data and software services sold but not manufactured by Teamdb are subject to the manufacturer's separate terms and conditions.

1.3 All documents provided by Teamdb for the purpose of initiating business (such as preparing offers, test licenses, concepts, etc.) are the intellectual property of Teamdb and may not be reproduced and/or published without the prior written consent of Teamdb. If there is no contractual relationship based on the documents provided, they must be returned or destroyed without being requested to do so and may not be used further (not even in part).

§2 Prices and terms of payment

2.1 All prices quoted are in EURO plus the applicable VAT and exclusive of transport and packaging unless otherwise agreed. The price valid at the time of conclusion of the contract applies. If a price change is made between order and delivery, this will not be taken into account. For the rest, the surcharges and reductions in the currently valid price list apply.

2.2 Unless otherwise agreed, payments are due from the invoice date, but no later than 10 days, without deduction. Discount is not granted. If the payment deadline set in the invoice is exceeded, the business partner is in default without a reminder. Teamdb is entitled to charge interest of at least 5% above the respective discount rate of the Deutsche Bundesbank from the due date.

2.3 We expressly reserve the right to assert further damage caused by delay. If the business partner is in default of payment, we can choose to demand immediate payment of the outstanding claim or withdraw from the existing contract or demand compensation for non-performance at our discretion.

2.4 If the contract for the business partner is a commercial transaction according to § 343 HGB, we are also entitled to withdraw from any existing delivery contracts, including those where there are no delays in payment, or to demand compensation for non-performance at our discretion.

2.5 Under no circumstances are we obliged to accept bills of exchange or checks as payment. If they are accepted, the acceptance is only on account of performance. Collection and discount costs as well as bill of exchange tax and other expenses are borne by the business partner. These costs are to be reimbursed together with the invoice amount. We assume no liability for premature presentation, protest, notification and return of the bill of exchange in the event of non-payment.

2.6 The business partner is only entitled to set-off, retention or reduction if the counterclaims are undisputed or have been legally established. He cannot assign claims to third parties. All payments are always credited to the oldest debt, partial deliveries and partial services can be invoiced separately.

2.7 Teamdb reserves the right to demand payments on account and/or full advance payments if there is not yet a business relationship with the business partner, the business partner is based abroad or there are doubts about the punctual payment by the business partner.

2.8 Teamdb calculates (unless otherwise agreed) the services rendered based on actual expenditure according to the valid price list.

§3 Retention of title

3.1 The goods remain the property of Teamdb until the claim from the contract has been settled in full. This also applies if individual or all of Teamdb's claims have been included in a current account and the balance has been drawn and recognized. The business partner may neither pledge, sell or transfer ownership of reserved goods as security. The business partner must immediately notify Teamdb in writing of third-party access to the reserved goods and inform the third party of Teamdb's rights. Any costs incurred for defense and legal prosecution in connection with such access by third parties shall be borne by the business partner.

3.2 The business partner must store the reserved goods with commercial care for Teamdb and insure them adequately against fire, water, theft and other risks of damage at his own expense. The business partner assigns its corresponding claims from the insurance contracts to Teamdb upon conclusion of this agreement. Teamdb accepts the assignment.

3.3 The business partner hereby assigns all claims arising from the resale of the goods or the further licensing of the software to Teamdb. He is revocably entitled to collect these claims. At Teamdb's request, he must disclose the assigned claims and their debtors. Teamdb is entitled to disclose the assignment to the debtor of the business partner.

3.4 In the event of breach of contract by the business partner (in particular default of payment) or an expected cessation of payments, Teamdb is entitled to take back the reserved goods at the expense of the business partner or to demand the assignment of any claims for return of the business partner against third parties. These rights also exist if the secured claims have become statute-barred. Teamdb is entitled to use the reserved goods if necessary and to settle them from the proceeds of sale, taking into account open claims. If Teamdb has a right of withdrawal, Teamdb is entitled to collect the reserved goods still in the possession of the business partner. The business partner must allow the Teamdb employees authorized to collect the reserved goods access to the business premises during office hours without prior notification.

3.5 Exercising rights from the retention of title or a demand for return do not count as withdrawal from the contract.

§4 Delivery, delivery period, complaints

If the delivery period is exceeded by an unreasonable amount of time, but at least by two weeks, regardless of the reason, the business partner can withdraw from the contract to the exclusion of all other claims. For this, however, it is necessary for the business partner to set a reasonable grace period for delivery to Teamdb beforehand. The same applies to a binding delivery date. The business partner can only assert claims for damages or other claims for non-performance or delays in delivery against Teamdb if Teamdb acts with gross negligence. Partial delivery and partial performance by Teamdb are permitted.

4.3 If the business partner does not fulfill his obligations to cooperate (see §11) or Teamdb is waiting for information from the business partner, the delivery times shall be deemed given for the duration of the hindrance plus a reasonable start-up time.

§5 Acceptance of the service

5.1 If the business partner does not accept individual deliveries or partial deliveries or if he refuses acceptance, Teamdb can set him a reasonable deadline for acceptance. If the business partner does not accept the goods within the period set, Teamdb is entitled to withdraw from the contract and/or to demand compensation for non-performance. The business partner has to compensate for the entire damage including transport costs. In the event of damage, Teamdb can either prove the damage or (without proof) demand a flat rate of 30% of the net value of the delivery that was not accepted plus cash expenses as compensation. The amount of damage is to be set higher or lower if Teamdb or the business partner can prove lower damage.

5.2 The business partner will review Teamdb's performance. The test period is two weeks. If the service provided by Teamdb is in accordance with the contract, the business partner will acknowledge the delivery as having been made and declare acceptance within the deadline. The service is also deemed to have been accepted if the business partner allows the deadline to elapse without giving reasons and/or defects.
