General Business Terms for companies

The following General Business Terms are exclusively valid for orders to the internationalStudentsClub (iSC). The validity of the General Business Terms of the client is explicitly contradicted.

The following General Business Terms are valid:

All prices stated in these booking documents are net prices.

The invoice is to be paid within the term stated on the invoice, insofar no other written term of payment or advance payment is agreed upon in single case. The client accepts the shipping and acceptance of the invoice via email. Every order becomes legally binding only after written confirmation resp. billing by the iSC.

In case of delay of payment or cancellation, interest at the amount of 8% over the base rate and dunning costs amounting to EUR 25,- are calculated. In case of delay of payment, iSC can pause the further performance of the current order until payment and demand advance payment for the remaining orders. In case of justified doubts concerning the financial solvency of the client, iSC has the right to make the performance of further orders dependant on the advance payment of the amount and the balance of open invoices without consideration of an originally agreed upon payment date prior to a new business relationship and also during the time of an order.

In case of orders from foreign countries, invoicing is done without value added tax calculation under the requirement that tax exemption is given and acknowledged. The iSC reserves the right to subsequently bill the value added tax to the legally owed amount in the case that the financial administration confirms the tax liability of the services of iSC. The customer may apply for the invoice to be issued in his country currency. The exchange rate of the EURO is applicable.

The client guarantees that he owns all rights necessary for publication. The client carries sole responsibility for the content and the legal admissibility of the text and image documents provided for the orders, as well for delivered advertising means of all type. He releases iSC of all claims of third parties within the framework of the contract that may arise from the violation of legal regulations or legal press provisions. In case of the publication of counter statements a fixed cost rate of EUR 150,- is calculated. Further the iSC is released from the costs for the necessary legal defence. The client is obligated to support the iSC in the legal defence towards third parties with information and documents in good faith.

The client assigns all copyrights, rights for utilization, service protection, and other rights necessary for the utilization of the advertisement in print and online media of all type, including internet, especially the right to duplicate, distribute, transfer, send, public accessibility, withdrawal from a database and review, in time and content to the extent necessary for the performance of the order. Previously stated rights are assigned without restriction of place in all cases.

In case of operational faults or Acts of God, illegal labour dispute, illegal confiscation, traffic disorders, general raw material or energy shortage and the like, the iSC is released from its obligation to service if the occurred event makes the performance of the order impossible. In this case the client does not have any rights to damage compensation with the exception of the reclamation of an advance payment for the performance of an order towards the iSC. The iSC will notify the client about the occurrence of the event without prompt.

If the publication of the order does not correspond to the contractually owed character, respectively service, the client has the right to reduce payment or a proper substitution order of the respective advertising means, but only to the extent to which the purpose of the order was impaired. The iSC has the right to deny a substituting order if this would require effort that poses to be grossly disproportional to the performance interest of the client under consideration of the content of the obligation and the regulations in good faith, or this effort would be possible for the iSC only with disproportionate costs. If the iSC fails to meet a term adequately set for the substitution order, or if the substitution order is again not faultless, the client has the right to reduce payment or revoke the order. In case of minor faults in the performance of the order, revoking of the order is exempt. Reclamations for non-obvious faults must be asserted within one year from the legal beginning of the statute of limitations. The iSC is liable for all damages, whether from violation of contractual obligations or from unauthorized action according to the following regulations: In case of gross negligence the liability in commercial traffic is limited to the replacement of the typical predictable damage; this limitation is not applicable if the damage was caused by legal representatives or leading employees of the iSC. In case of light negligence the iSC is only liable if an essential contractual obligation was violated. In such cases the liability is limited to the typical predictable damage. In case of claims according to the product liability law as well as for a violation of life, body, or health, the iSC is liable according to the legal provisions. Reclamations must be asserted within four weeks after publication – except in the case of non-obvious faults. All claims directed towards the iSC from contractual claims come under the statute of limitations after two years as of the beginning of the legal statute of limitations, insofar they are not based on intentional action.

Orders become legally binding only after the iSC confirms them in writing or issues an invoice. If the ordering party books the company flat rate then the online profile becomes available online at the time the booking is sent. If the ordering party does not pay the yearly fee within 30 days, their profile will be deactivated and can only be activated again through full payment of the outstanding costs. A discount on the fee to be paid is not possible in the case that profile deactivation takes place due to delay of payment.

Orders that are not recognizable as advertisements due to their editorial design are clearly marked as such by iSC with the word "advertisement".

The iSC reserves the right to deny orders without acknowledgement of a review obligation, especially if their content violates laws or authoritative regulations, and their publication in unfeasible for the iSC due to content, design, origin, or technical form, among other things, or these orders contain advertisement for third parties.

Insofar the iSC does not enforce its right for denial regarding advertising means that contain advertisement of or for third parties ( network advertising), these require the prior acceptance confirmation of the iSC in every singe case in writing. This authorizes the iSC to collect a network surcharge amounting to 50% of the order value. The client is informed of the denial of an order immediately.

The client is solely responsible for the timely delivery and the faultless condition of adequate printing documents or other advertising means. The client is to carry costs for the iSC for modifications of the printing documents desired or represented by the client. The common character of the advertisements within the framework of the possibilities given by the printing documents and the technology used by the printing shop is agreed for the documented print according to the specifications in the price list as well as in the order confirmation. The sending of more than 2 colour drafts, untimely delivery of the printing documents, and the request for a print deviating from the draft may affect the placing and printing quality, and ban later reclamations. The iSC must reserve the calculation of accrued additional costs.

Printing documents are only sent back to the client upon special request. The obligation for storing the printing documents expires three months after the first publication of the advertisement.

The iSC supplies an advertisement receipt for printing products upon request. Depending on the type and extent of advertising order, advertisement excerpts, receipts, or complete receipt numbers are supplied. Should a receipt no longer be available, a legal certificate of the iSC about the publication and distribution of the advertisement can be used as substitute.

Advertisement orders through an agency are accepted in their name and to their account. The advertising agencies are obliged to adhere to the price list of the iSC in their offers, contracts, and invoices with the advertising provider. The iSC grants expense allowance of 15% for advertisement bookings that are placed without the booking of a fair stand.

The iSC reserves the right to increase the company flat rate and the prices for banners by 5% after completion of run time, which in both cases is two years. The iSC must communicate this price increase to the ordering party at least one month prior to the increase’s coming into effect. For foreign clients the currency exchange rate at the point in time in which the invoice is issued will be used.
