§ 3 Services of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH

  1. The activity of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH consists of independent and instruction-free consulting and training of the customer as a service.
  2. No specific success is owed or guaranteed. The client shall be solely responsible for deciding on the implementation, timing, nature and scope of the measures recommended by ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH or agreed with it. This shall also apply in the event that ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH accompanies such measures in consultation with the client.
  3. The specific content and scope of the service to be provided by ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH shall be based on the order placed in writing. If the need for additional or supplementary activities arises, ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH shall draw the client’s attention to this. In this case, ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH shall also extend the order by the client requesting or accepting the additional or supplementary work.
  4. ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH reserves the right to replace or change the consultants or trainers used for seminars, training courses, workshops or other services. The booked service is not tied to specific personnel support. In the event of a replacement or change of personnel, this shall be carried out exclusively by comparably qualified personnel of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH. This shall not give rise to any claims on the part of the client, in particular with regard to termination or rebooking.
  5. In the event of illness or other prevention of a consultant or trainer for which ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH is not responsible, the appointments will generally be carried out by other consultants. In individual cases, individual booked appointments can be made up at a later date.
  6. ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH assumes that the information and documents provided by the client and the figures submitted are complete and correct. ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH shall not be obliged to check the accuracy, completeness or correctness or to carry out its own research. This shall also apply if ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH is required to carry out plausibility checks or valuations within the scope of the order placed, which are based solely on the information, details or documents provided by the client and do not involve checking them.

 

§ 4 Granting of rights of use

  1. The passing on or presentation of written elaborations, graphics or results of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH to third parties shall require the prior consent of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH and shall take place solely in the interests of and on behalf of the client. The third party shall not thereby be included in the scope of protection of the contract between the client and ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH. This shall also apply if the third party bears all or part of the remuneration for ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH’s work for the client or assumes such remuneration.
  2. Insofar as ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH, upon full payment of the agreed price, transfers to the respective customer the non-transferable and non-exclusive right, unlimited in time and space, to use the documents or files received, including the texts and images, for business purposes within the customer’s company, the customer shall be entitled to save the files received on his computer and to print them out. The right of use granted does not permit the client to pass on the documents in unaltered or altered form to third parties, whether for payment or free of charge, without the consent of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH. The right of use granted also does not permit the client to use the documents on the Internet or in other media.
  3. In the event of the aforementioned business use of documents or files within his company, the customer is obliged to indicate the authorship of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH (copyright) on all (also edited or reproduced) documents and files.

§ 7 Liability

  1. ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH is liable for material defects and defects of title in accordance with the statutory provisions. Liability for licensed products of third parties is excluded. ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH is not liable for the consequences of content-related decisions or for claims by third parties arising from the jointly supported process.
    A client may only assert claims for damages against ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH outside of liability for material defects and defects of title in the event of intent or gross negligence. The exclusion of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health or in the event of a breach of material contractual obligations. Except in cases of intent, gross negligence and damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health, the liability of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH is limited to the amount of damage typically foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract.
  2. ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH shall not be liable if the damage incurred is also attributable to incorrect or incomplete information or documents provided by the client. The same shall apply if circumstances giving rise to liability are not notified in writing to ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH by the client within 14 calendar days of becoming aware of them.
  3. Liability under the Product Liability Act and other mandatory statutory provisions shall remain unaffected.

II. Special provisions for in-house training and consulting

§ 9 Commissioning, determination of order completion

  1. The task, the procedure, the form of the work results and the remuneration shall be set out in a written agreement between ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH and the client. The contract shall come into effect when this agreement is signed by both parties. Amendments, additions or extensions to the terms of reference, the procedure and the form of the work results shall require a written agreement.
  2. The services of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH shall be deemed to have been rendered when the necessary clarifications, the resulting conclusions and the recommendations have been drawn up and made available to the client. It is irrelevant whether or when the client implements the conclusions or recommendations, unless ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH also accompanies the implementation. This further service shall be deemed to have been rendered when the training courses or measures agreed as part of the implementation have been carried out.
 

§ 10 Obligations of the customer

  1. The client undertakes to support the activities of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH. In particular, the client shall, free of charge, create all the conditions within its sphere of operations that are necessary for the provision of services and shall provide the information and documents required for the execution of the order in full, accurately and in good time. Insofar as ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH is deprived of the required appropriate prerequisites, the client shall pay separately for the resulting waiting times, which shall be documented.
  2. If the client does not provide the cooperation required of him or does not provide it in full after being requested to do so by ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH, ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH shall be entitled, but not obliged, to terminate the concluded contract without notice after giving prior written notice. In this case, ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH may invoice the client either for the services actually rendered and costs incurred up to the date of termination or instead for the agreed or forecast total remuneration less the expenses saved as a result of the premature termination of the contract.
  3. The client undertakes not to employ or commission any employees or vicarious agents of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH engaged in connection with the performance of the consultancy before the expiry of 24 months after the end of the cooperation.
 

§ 11 Obligations of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH

  1. ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH undertakes to maintain unlimited confidentiality towards third parties with regard to all operational, business and private matters of the client that become known in the course of the activity, even after termination of the contract. In addition, ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH undertakes to keep the documents provided for the purpose of the consultancy activity in safe custody and to protect them against access by third parties.
  2. ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH is obliged to have its employees or vicarious agents sign a corresponding declaration of commitment upon request.

§ 12 Protection of work results

The reports, plans, drafts, lists, graphics and calculations prepared by ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH may only be used for the contractually agreed purposes. Any non-contractual use of these services, in particular their disclosure or publication, shall require the prior written consent of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH. This shall also apply if the service provided is not subject to special statutory rights, in particular copyright.

§ 13 Copyrights to training documents

All copyrights and other intellectual property rights relating to the training materials, including those relating to translation, reprinting and reproduction, remain with ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH. No user may reproduce, duplicate, distribute or publicly reproduce the training materials, in whole or in part, in any form, including for the purposes of teaching, without the prior written permission of ComTeam Organisationsentwicklung GmbH.

 

III. Final provisions

§ 14 Severability clause

Should a provision of the order or these contractual terms and conditions be or become legally invalid, this shall not affect the legal validity of the remaining provisions of the order or these contractual terms and conditions. In this case, a legally valid provision shall be agreed between the contracting parties which comes closest to the meaning and purpose as well as the economic objective of the invalid clause. The same procedure shall apply if the order or these contractual terms and conditions contain an irregular loophole that is to be closed by a supplementary interpretation of the contract.

 

§ 15 Mediation clause

  1. In the event of disputes arising from this contract that cannot be settled amicably, the contracting parties agree by mutual consent to consult registered mediators (ZivMediatG) specializing in business mediation from the list of the Ministry of Justice for the out-of-court settlement of the conflict. If no agreement can be reached on the choice of commercial mediators or on the content of the dispute, legal action will be initiated at the earliest one month after the failure of the negotiations.
  2. In the event that the mediation does not take place or is terminated, Austrian law shall apply in any court proceedings that may be initiated. All necessary expenses incurred as a result of prior mediation, in particular also those for a legal advisor called in, can be claimed as “pre-litigation costs” in court or arbitration proceedings as agreed.
