If, in the performance of the Agreement, the Contractor makes use of or provides access to products or services of third parties, including but not limited to open-source software, cloud services, SaaS or platform services, the applicable licence and usage terms of such third parties shall apply. These third-party terms form an integral part of the Agreement and shall, where relevant, prevail over these general terms and conditions. The Contractor shall not be liable for any shortcomings of such third parties.

2.1 Offers
All offers, proposals and price indications issued by the Contractor are without obligation, unless expressly stated otherwise in writing. Offers are valid for thirty (30) days from the date of issue, unless indicated otherwise.

2.3 Budgets and estimates
Budgets, estimates or internal price indications provided by the Client shall never constitute a fixed-price agreement unless expressly agreed in writing. No rights may be derived from calculations or estimates.

Activities falling outside the agreed scope of the Agreement shall be considered additional work and shall be performed at the then applicable rates after the Client has provided written approval.
3.4 Default and suspension
If the Client fails to make timely payment, it shall be in default by operation of law and statutory commercial interest shall be due.

Any preferential pricing, discounts, feature availability, commercial arrangements or other benefits applicable to such programmes shall only apply where expressly stated in the applicable quotation, proposal, Statement of Work, Order Confirmation or other written agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, participation in such programmes shall not create any ongoing entitlement to future pricing, functionality or commercial arrangements.
4. Performance of the Services
4.1 Best-efforts obligation
The Contractor shall perform the Services to the best of its knowledge and ability and with the care and expertise expected of a professional IT service provider. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the Contractor’s obligations constitute obligations of best efforts and not obligations of result.

Any time schedules or deadlines indicated by the Contractor are indicative and shall not constitute fatal deadlines. Exceeding such deadlines shall not constitute a breach, unless caused by intent or gross negligence on the part of the Contractor.
4.3 Cooperation by the Client
The Client shall timely provide all information, materials and cooperation reasonably required for the performance of the Agreement. Failure to do so entitles the Contractor to suspend performance and adjust planning and costs accordingly.
4.4 Inspection and acceptance
Where acceptance has been agreed, the deliverables shall be deemed accepted if the Client has not notified the Contractor in writing and with reasons of any defects within fifteen (15) business days after delivery. Defects of a minor nature that do not materially affect use shall not constitute grounds for refusal of acceptance.
4.5 Engagement of third parties
The Contractor is entitled to engage third parties in the performance of the Agreement and shall remain responsible for the quality and progress of the Services.
4.6 Changes (change control)
Changes to the scope, functionality, planning or activities shall only be implemented after written documentation of the change, including the consequences for planning and costs, and approval by the Client.

5.6 Intelligence portability
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the default principle of the Nexus Platform is that professional knowledge and experience accumulated within an individual’s own professional domain may accompany that individual upon termination of employment or engagement. Prior to export, the Contractor may apply automated or AI-assisted abstraction techniques to remove confidential business information, customer-specific information, trade secrets and other proprietary organizational intelligence. Company-specific Intelligence shall remain part of the Company Brain unless the Client expressly approves otherwise.

The Contractor continuously develops the Nexus Platform. Generic improvements, reusable components, methodologies and platform capabilities developed during the performance of the Agreement shall become part of the Nexus Platform and remain the exclusive intellectual property of the Contractor. Unless expressly designated in writing as a Client Deliverable under the Agreement, all developments, enhancements, modifications, software, automations, integrations, configurations and other results created by the Contractor shall be deemed to form part of the Nexus Platform.

The Client is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use the Nexus Platform and the Materials for its internal business purposes in accordance with the Agreement.
5.9 Continuity upon termination

The removal or alteration of copyright notices, trademarks or other proprietary notices contained in the Nexus Platform or the Materials is not permitted.
6. Confidentiality
Both parties shall observe strict confidentiality with respect to all confidential information obtained in connection with the Agreement. Confidential information includes all information which the receiving party knows or reasonably should know to be confidential, including but not limited to business information, software, source code, Company Brains, Personal AI Twins, Shared Intelligence, Materials, trade secrets and technical or commercial information.
The Contractor shall treat all Company Brain information as confidential and shall not use, disclose or make such information available to third parties other than as necessary for the performance of the Agreement or where required by law.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the Contractor shall not use the Client’s Company Brain or other confidential Client information for the development, training or improvement of generally available AI models or third-party AI services.
The confidentiality obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, lawfully obtained from third parties without confidentiality obligations, independently developed without use of confidential information, or required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable law or a binding court order.
The confidentiality obligation shall survive termination of the Agreement.
7. Liability and indemnification
7.1 Limitation of liability
The Contractor shall only be liable for direct damage resulting from an attributable failure in the performance of the Agreement, provided that such failure results from intent or gross negligence on the part of the Contractor.

Liability for indirect or consequential damage, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of revenue, business interruption, loss of data, loss of goodwill, missed savings or reputational damage, is expressly excluded.

In the event of a shortcoming, the Contractor shall first be given the opportunity to remedy such shortcoming within a reasonable period.
7.3 Indemnification
The Client shall indemnify the Contractor against third-party claims arising from Materials, data or instructions supplied by the Client.
