General Terms and Conditions

for the provision of services by SKILLAGILITY, Stefan Lachmann, Fuchsröhre 9, 23623 Ahrensbök, email: team@skillagility.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) to its customers (hereinafter referred to as the “Client”)

1. General

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) for the provision of services apply to contracts concluded between the Client and the Contractor in which these GTC are incorporated.

1.2 The Contractor is entitled to assign the necessary services to subcontractors in its own name and on its own account, who in turn may also use subcontractors. The Contractor remains the sole contractual partner of the Client. Subcontractors will not be used if it is apparent to the Contractor that their use would be contrary to the legitimate interests of the Client.

1.3 Insofar as, in addition to these General Terms and Conditions, further contractual documents or other terms and conditions in text or written form have become part of the contract, the provisions of these further contractual documents shall take precedence over these General Terms and Conditions in the event of a conflict.

1.4 The Contractor does not recognize any terms and conditions used by the Client that deviate from these terms and conditions, unless expressly agreed.

2. Subject matter of the contract and scope of services

2.1 The contractor shall provide the following services to the client as an independent entrepreneur:

Sale of seminars and online courses, workshops, and coaching.

2.2 The specific scope of services shall be the subject of individual agreements between the contractor and the client.

2.3 The contractor shall perform the contractual services with the greatest possible care and diligence in accordance with the latest standards, rules, and findings.

2.4 The contractor is obliged to perform the services owed under the contract. However, in performing its activities, it shall not be subject to any instructions regarding the manner in which its services are to be provided, the place of performance, or the time of performance. However, it shall determine the schedule of working days and the allocation of time on these days in such a way as to achieve optimum efficiency in its activities and in the realization of the subject matter of the contract. The contractor shall only perform the services in consultation and coordination with the client.

3. Client’s obligations to cooperate

It is the client’s responsibility to provide the information, data, and other content required for the performance of the services in a complete and correct manner. The contractor shall not be liable to the client in any way for delays in the provision of services caused by late and necessary cooperation or assistance on the part of the client; the provisions under the heading “Liability/Indemnification” remain unaffected by this.

4. Remuneration

4.1 Remuneration shall be agreed in individual contracts.

4.2 Remuneration shall be paid after the services have been rendered. If remuneration is calculated on a time basis, it shall be paid after the expiry of the individual time periods (§ 614 BGB). In the case of expense-based billing, the contractor shall be entitled, subject to deviating agreements, to invoice the services rendered on a monthly basis.

4.3 The contractor shall send the client an invoice by post or email (e.g. as a PDF) after the services have been rendered. Remuneration is due for payment within 14 days of receipt of the invoice.

5. Liability/Indemnification

5.1 The contractor shall be liable without limitation for any legal reason in the event of intent or gross negligence, in the event of intentional or negligent injury to life, limb, or health, on the basis of a guarantee promise, unless otherwise specified, or on the basis of mandatory liability. If the contractor negligently breaches an essential contractual obligation, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract, unless unlimited liability applies in accordance with the preceding sentence. Essential contractual obligations are obligations which the contract imposes on the contractor according to its content in order to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the customer may regularly rely. Otherwise, the contractor’s liability is excluded. The above liability provisions also apply with regard to the contractor’s liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.

5.2 The client shall indemnify the contractor against any claims by third parties asserted against the contractor due to breaches of these contractual terms and conditions or applicable law by the customer.

6. Term of contract and termination

6.1 The term of the contract and the notice periods for ordinary termination shall be agreed individually by the parties.

6.2 The right of both parties to terminate the contract without notice for good cause remains unaffected.

6.3 Upon termination of the contract, the contractor shall immediately return or destroy all documents and other content provided to it, at the customer’s discretion. The assertion of a right of retention in this regard is excluded. Electronic data must be deleted in its entirety. This does not apply to documents and data that are subject to a longer statutory retention period, but only until the end of the respective retention period. The contractor must confirm the deletion in writing to the company upon request.

7. Confidentiality and data protection

7.1 The contractor shall treat all information that comes to its knowledge in connection with the order as strictly confidential. The contractor undertakes to impose the obligation of confidentiality on all employees and/or third parties who have access to the information covered by the contract. The obligation of confidentiality shall remain in force indefinitely beyond the term of this contract.

7.2 The contractor undertakes to comply with all data protection regulations—in particular the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act—when executing the order.

8. Final provisions

8.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the CISG.

8.2 Should any provision of these General Terms and Conditions be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

8.3 The Client shall support the Contractor in the performance of its contractual services by providing appropriate assistance, as necessary. In particular, the Client shall provide the Contractor with the information and data necessary for the fulfillment of the order.

8.4 If the client is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, or does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the parties agree that the contractor’s registered office shall be the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship; exclusive places of jurisdiction remain unaffected by this.

8.5 The contractor is entitled to amend these General Terms and Conditions for objectively justified reasons (e.g., changes in case law, the legal situation, market conditions, or business or corporate strategy) and subject to reasonable notice. Existing customers will be notified of this by email at least two weeks before the amendment comes into effect. If the existing customer does not object within the period specified in the notification of change, their consent to the change shall be deemed to have been given. If they object, the changes shall not come into effect; in this case, the contractor shall be entitled to terminate the contract extraordinarily at the time the change comes into effect. The notification of the intended change to these General Terms and Conditions will indicate the deadline and the consequences of objection or failure to object.
