Furthermore, these General Terms and Conditions shall apply to all products that the client purchases from 7SIGMA. The products are sold exclusively in commercial business transactions.  <\/p>\n<p>1.2 They shall also apply to all future business relationships, even if they are not expressly agreed again.<\/p>\n<p>1.3 Employees or partners are not authorized to make verbal agreements or give verbal assurances that go beyond the content of the written contract.<\/p>\n<h5>2 Offer, conclusion of contract and contract amendments<\/h5>\n<p>2.1 All offers of 7SIGMA shall be binding for 14 calendar days from the date of preparation and transmission to the Client or until the date stated in the offer (acceptance period); thereafter the offers shall be subject to change and non-binding. 7SIGMA may accept orders or commissions within 14 days of receipt. <\/p>\n<p>2.2 Verbal promises made by 7SIGMA prior to the conclusion of the contract are not legally binding and verbal agreements between the contracting parties shall be replaced by the written contract, unless it is expressly stated in each case that they shall continue to be binding.<\/p>\n<p>2.3 Changes to the scope of the contractually agreed service during the execution of the order must be agreed in writing. 7SIGMA shall submit a supplementary offer (change of service, adjustment of remuneration, etc.) to the client, which must be accepted within 7 working days. If the client does not accept it in time, the contract amendment shall be deemed not to have been agreed.  <\/p>\n<h5>3 Prices, terms of payment<\/h5>\n<p>3.1 Prices can be agreed as a binding fixed price or on an hourly basis; they are quoted in EURO and are subject to VAT. If the type of remuneration and invoicing method have not been expressly agreed, a monthly invoice shall be issued on a time and material basis.  <\/p>\n<p>3.2 Only the prices stated in the offer shall apply. Unless explicitly mentioned in the offer, any accessories for the product are not part of the order. Packaging and shipping costs will be charged separately.  <\/p>\n<p>3.3 Invoices are due for payment within 30 days of the invoice date without discount.<\/p>\n<p>3.4 7SIGMA shall be entitled to perform or render outstanding services only against advance payment or provision of security if, after conclusion of the contract, circumstances become known which are likely to significantly reduce the creditworthiness of the client and which jeopardize the payment of 7SIGMA&#8217;s outstanding claims by the client.<\/p>\n<h5>4 Obligations of the client to cooperate<\/h5>\n<p>4.1 The client must provide 7SIGMA with all information and documents required for the provision of services in good time and must fulfill all its obligations to cooperate without delay.<\/p>\n<p>4.2 If the client does not fulfill its obligations to cooperate in a timely manner, in particular with regard to the submission of required documents, information and data, any delays resulting therefrom shall be borne by the client.<\/p>\n<p>4.3 The client shall be liable to 7SIGMA for ensuring that the documents, information and data provided by him are free of errors and free of third-party property rights that exclude or impair the contractual use of 7SIGMA.<\/p>\n<h5>5 Termination provisions<\/h5>\n<p>5.1 7SIGMA shall be entitled to terminate the contract for good cause if the customer fails to perform an act incumbent upon him and thereby prevents 7SIGMA from performing the service or if the customer fails to make due payments or otherwise defaults on payment. In this case, 7SIGMA shall be entitled to remuneration for the provision of services until receipt of the notice of termination. <\/p>\n<p>5.2 In all other respects, the statutory provisions shall apply in the event of termination.<\/p>\n<h5>6 Confidentiality agreement and archiving obligations<\/h5>\n<p>6.1 The Client and 7SIGMA are mutually obliged to treat all information relating to the business and operational affairs of the other party as strictly confidential and to use it only within the scope of the contractual provisions and not to disclose it to third parties. This shall also apply if no contractual relationship is established after the exchange of confidential information. <\/p>\n<p>6.2 Suppliers or subcontractors commissioned by 7SIGMA to provide services shall not be deemed third parties. 7SIGMA shall oblige suppliers and subcontractors to the same extent to confidentiality in accordance with clause 6.1. <\/p>\n<p>6.3 7SIGMA has the right to destroy the project documentation after the expiry of the applicable warranty and\/or limitation periods, unless the parties to the contract reach a separate agreement regarding the archiving of the project documentation.<\/p>\n<h5>7 Limitation of liability<\/h5>\n<p>7.1 The maximum amount of liability shall be the agreed order volume.<\/p>\n<p>7.2 Unless we deviate from instructions given to us, we are not obliged to check whether orders carried out by us infringe the rights of third parties (in particular copyrights or patent rights). The customer shall indemnify 7SIGMA against any claims. <\/p>\n<p>7.3 7SIGMA shall only be liable for damages for which we are responsible &#8211; irrespective of the legal grounds &#8211; in the event of intent or gross negligence. This also applies to employees or partners. <\/p>\n<h5>8 Copyright and rights of use<\/h5>\n<p>8.1 7SIGMA reserves the right of ownership or copyright to all submitted offers and cost estimates as well as data, software programs, software tools, drawings, illustrations, calculations, brochures, catalogs, models, tools and other documents and aids made available to the Customer, in particular in the offer procedure (pre-contractual area). The Client may not make these items accessible to third parties, disclose them, use them itself or through third parties or reproduce them without the express consent of 7SIGMA. At the request of 7SIGMA, the Client must return these items in full and destroy any copies made if they are no longer required by the Client in the ordinary course of business or if negotiations do not lead to the conclusion of a contract.  <\/p>\n<p>8.2 For all works and work results developed by 7SIGMA on behalf of the client as well as employee inventions, 7SIGMA shall grant the client the exclusive and unlimited right to use these to the extent described in the respective order upon full payment.<\/p>\n<p>8.3 If drawings, models, samples or other data are included in the customer&#8217;s requirement profile, the customer shall be responsible for ensuring that the use thereof does not infringe the property rights of third parties. The Client shall indemnify 7SIGMA against claims of third parties in this respect and pay compensation for the resulting damage. <\/p>\n<h5>9 Retention of title<\/h5>\n<p>9.1 7SIGMA reserves the right to reclaim the delivered services until all purchase price claims have been paid in full by the client.<\/p>\n<p>9.2 The objects of the deliveries (reserved goods) shall remain the property of 7SIGMA until all claims to which it is entitled against the client arising from the business relationship have been fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>9.3 In the event of breaches of duty by the Client, in particular in the event of default in payment, 7SIGMA shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract and take back the goods after the unsuccessful expiry of a reasonable deadline set for the Client; the statutory provisions on the dispensability of setting a deadline shall remain unaffected. The client is obliged to surrender the goods. <\/p>\n<h5>10 Non-solicitation clause, contractual penalty<\/h5>\n<p>10.1 The client undertakes to refrain from enticing away employees of 7SIGMA and other persons contractually associated with 7SIGMA, who are involved in the provision of services or production of a work within the scope of order processing, for their own company or third parties or to support enticement activities. This applies for the entire duration of the project and for one year after the end of the project. <\/p>\n<p>10.2 Any direct or indirect influence on an employee of 7SIGMA or other persons contractually associated with 7SIGMA with the aim of establishing a new employment relationship or entering into a service contract with the client or a third party shall be deemed to be enticement.<\/p>\n<p>10.3 A contractual penalty of EUR 30,000 shall be payable for each case of infringement.<\/p>\n<h2>B SERVICE CONTRACTS<\/h2>\n<p>When concluding service contracts, the following terms and conditions shall apply in addition:<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding the right to terminate without notice, service contracts can be terminated by either party with a notice period of 8 weeks to the end of the month.<\/p>\n<h2>C WORK CONTRACTS<\/h2>\n<p>When concluding contracts for work and services, the following conditions in sections 11 to 13 shall apply in addition:<\/p>\n<h5>11 Delivery dates and place of performance<\/h5>\n<p>11.1 Delivery dates may be agreed in individual contracts. If no dates have been agreed, we shall determine them at our own discretion. <\/p>\n<p>11.2 The order shall be carried out on the premises of 7SIGMA. Complete or partial execution at the client&#8217;s premises may be agreed, in particular if continuous technical discussions or technical coordination are required. The right to issue instructions to its vicarious agents and employees is the sole responsibility of 7SIGMA. This shall not affect the right of the client to issue instructions for the execution of the order in individual cases.   <\/p>\n<h5>12 Decrease<\/h5>\n<p>12.1 The handover of the services shall be set out in writing in an acceptance protocol. If acceptance is not possible upon handover of the service or the work, the Client shall be obliged to declare acceptance to 7SIGMA in writing without delay, but at the latest within 2 weeks after handover of the work or the result of the service. <\/p>\n<p>12.2 Any defects must also be notified to 7SIGMA in writing within this period. If the customer does not refuse acceptance in writing within 2 weeks after delivery of the work or the result of the service, acceptance shall be deemed to have been granted. Acceptance shall also be deemed to have taken place if the work is sold or if the work or service is put into use as intended by the client or a third party. In the case of completed partial services, 7SIGMA shall have the right to demand the performance of partial acceptances.   <\/p>\n<h5>13 Warranty<\/h5>\n<p>13.1 In the event of defects in the service, 7SIGMA shall be given the opportunity to rectify the service within a reasonable period of time or to produce the work again, initially to the exclusion of further claims by the Client.<\/p>\n<p>13.2 If the rectification or new production fails despite at least two attempts at subsequent performance, the client may demand a reduction in price or withdrawal, as well as compensation within the scope of the limitation of liability. Insignificant defects (insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or significant impairment of usability) do not entitle the client to withdraw from the contract. <\/p>\n<p>13.3 Self-remedy by the client is excluded, unless 7SIGMA agrees to it.<\/p>\n<h2>D FINAL PROVISIONS<\/h2>\n<p>The place of jurisdiction for all claims arising from or in connection with the contractual relationship shall be the respective registered office of 7SIGMA. German law shall apply exclusively. <\/p>\n<p>Insofar as the contract or these GTC contain ineffective clauses or loopholes, those legally effective provisions shall be deemed to have been agreed which the contracting parties would have agreed in accordance with the economic objectives of the contract and the purpose of these GTC if they had been aware of the ineffectiveness of the clause or the loophole.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- wp:divi\/placeholder \/--><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-585","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sigma.test-rmwebsolutions.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sigma.test-rmwebsolutions.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sigma.test-rmwebsolutions.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sigma.test-rmwebsolutions.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sigma.test-rmwebsolutions.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/7sigma.test-rmwebsolutions.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/585\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":597,"href":"https:\/\/7sigma.test-rmwebsolutions.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/585\/revisions\/597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sigma.test-rmwebsolutions.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
