Terms and Conditions (T&Cs)
Last Updated: December 18, 2024
The following Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts between BUSINESS THRIVER FZCO (hereinafter referred to as the CONTRACTOR) and its clients (hereinafter referred to as the CLIENT).
Copyright, Usage Rights & Retention of Ownership
Each contract is a copyright agreement aimed at granting usage rights for the delivered work. The CONTRACTOR retains all copyright. By commissioning the work, the CLIENT agrees to accept the final deliverable.
Suggestions or contributions made by the CLIENT do not establish joint copyright.
Usage rights are granted only after full payment is received. All drafts, including unused ones, remain the property of the CONTRACTOR.
Original files are only provided upon additional payment. Modifications to these files by third parties require the CONTRACTOR’s approval.
Scope of Services, Deadlines & Subcontractors
Agreed deadlines commence only after the CLIENT has submitted all required documents and any upfront payments, if applicable.
Changes during the project execution may result in extended deadlines.
The CONTRACTOR is entitled to engage subcontractors. Oversight is provided only by prior written agreement.
The CLIENT must review and approve all submissions (e.g., corrections) promptly.
Fees & Payment Terms
All prices are stated net, excluding applicable VAT.
Payment schedule: 70% of the fee upon contract initiation, 30% upon project completion.
Additional services and effort caused by change requests will be invoiced separately.
In the event of late payments, interest will be charged as per Section 288 of the German Civil Code (BGB). The CONTRACTOR reserves the right to halt ongoing projects in such cases.
Withdrawal, Termination & Cancellation
If the CLIENT terminates the contract, a cancellation fee of at least 50% of the agreed total fee will be charged.
The CONTRACTOR may terminate the contract without notice in the event of late payments, the CLIENT’s insolvency, or material breaches of contract.
In cases of termination without notice by the CONTRACTOR, at least 50% of the total costs will be due as compensation.
Liability & Warranty
The CONTRACTOR is liable only for intentional or grossly negligent acts. Liability for lost profits, data loss, or indirect damages is excluded.
Production-related deviations (e.g., in printed materials) are considered standard and must be accepted.
The CONTRACTOR does not assume liability for the competitive or trademark viability of the created works.
Data Protection (GDPR)
The CONTRACTOR processes the CLIENT’s personal data in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Data will only be shared with third parties as necessary for contract execution (e.g., subcontractors) or as legally required.
For more details on data processing, please refer to our current Privacy Policy.
Force Majeure
Events such as natural disasters, pandemics, or other unforeseen circumstances that hinder contract execution entitle both parties to adjust or terminate the contract.
Any services already provided must be compensated in such cases.
Final Provisions
The place of jurisdiction is the registered office of BUSINESS THRIVER FZCO.
Amendments to these T&Cs must be made in writing.
Should any clause in these T&Cs be invalid, the remaining provisions remain unaffected.
