Part 1 – General Terms and Conditions of Sale

§1 Scope of application

(1) These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter: GTC) shall apply to all contracts concluded via our online presence between us, von Grundherr Consulting (hereinafter: “VGC”); Krackhardtstraße 6c, 96049 Bamberg; Managing Director: Matthias von Grundherr; Telephone number: +49 17662331762; E-mail address: matthias@vongrundherr.com and you as our customer. We conclude contracts only with entrepreneurs according to § 14 BGB (German Civil Code) or merchants according to the German Commercial Code.
(2) All agreements made between you and us in connection with the contract result in particular from these terms and conditions, our written order confirmation and our declaration of acceptance.
(3) The version of the General Terms and Conditions valid at the time of the conclusion of the contract, available at https://vongrundherr.com/terms, shall apply.
(4) We do not accept any deviating terms and conditions of the contractual partner. This shall also apply if we do not expressly object to their inclusion. The General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall apply to entrepreneurs pursuant to Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB) or merchants pursuant to the German Commercial Code (HGB) and thus also to all future business relations, even if they are not expressly agreed again.

§2 Conclusion of contract

(1) VGC shall conclude contracts only with entrepreneurs according to § 14 BGB or merchants according to the German Commercial Code. VGC directs its products only to entrepreneurs according to § 14 BGB or merchants according to the German Commercial Code.
(2) The presentation and advertising of products in our online presence does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a service contract. It constitutes an invitation to entrepreneurs according to § 14 BGB or merchants according to the German Commercial Code to submit an offer to conclude a service contract with VGC.
(3) By sending an order via the online presences of VGC, you submit a legally binding offer, directed to acceptance by VGC.
(4) We shall immediately confirm receipt of your order placed via our online presence by e-mail. Such e-mail shall not constitute a binding acceptance of the order unless, in addition to the confirmation of receipt, the acceptance is declared at the same time.
(5) A contract is only concluded when we accept your order by means of a declaration of acceptance or by providing the booked course.
(6) A right of revocation does not exist for contracts entered into by telephone with entrepreneurs.
(7) The contract between us and the customer can be concluded by telephone (video chat, telephone, etc.) or in writing. If the contract is concluded by telephone, the customer shall not be entitled to receive the contents of the contract from us again in written form, unless otherwise agreed.

§3 Subject of the contract and fulfillment

(1) VGC offers its customers the performance of services within the framework of a service contract pursuant to § 611 BGB. These are courses for further training in “Social Media” for entrepreneurs according to § 14 BGB or merchants according to the German Commercial Code. Consulting is a free process that depends on many factors. Certain works are not the owed performance of the service contracts. The mere work of VGC is owed and no specific work result.
(2) VGC does not owe the production of a promised work, but merely the provision and performance of the course or service agreed upon in the contract. The fulfillment of the contract lies solely in the provision and implementation of the course and not in the production of a work. VGC does not owe the successful implementation of the information of the course by the customer. If a separate remuneration for the achievement of a certain success of an advertising measure has been agreed upon, it shall be paid to VGC as a success-dependent bonus.
(3) VGC shall assist the customer as a process companion and supporter. The actual implementation of the course contents is carried out by the customer himself and falls under his area of responsibility – VGC is not involved in this. The customer is therefore required to actively participate and implement the advice.
(4) VGC shall perform the agreed services with due diligence. VGC shall be entitled to avail itself of the assistance of third parties for this purpose.
(5) Upon request, the customer shall be provided with information on the services rendered under the contract within a reasonable period of time.
(6) With regard to the contents of a coaching, service and/or consulting contract entered into with us, we shall be entitled to a right to determine performance pursuant to Section 315 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
(7) The customer is obligated to cooperate within the framework of the contractual relationship. He shall provide the necessary cooperation immediately upon our first request. The contractually agreed number of social media content items (such as videos and thumbnails) delivered by us each week is a recommendation on our part. We are available to the client as a reliable service provider in both consulting and post-production, but can only deliver what was initially produced. Content items that the client fails to submit in a given week cannot be retroactively credited or made up in subsequent weeks.
(8) If it is not possible to provide the services ordered by you, for example for technical reasons, we shall refrain from issuing a declaration of acceptance. In this case a contract is not concluded. We will inform you of this without delay and, if applicable, immediately refund any consideration already received.

§4 Prices, terms of payment, set-off and right of retention

(1) All prices quoted in our online presence are binding net prices and do not include the respective statutory value added tax.
(2) The course price must be paid immediately upon receipt of our invoice. The course price becomes due upon receipt of the invoice.
(3) You may choose to transfer the course price to our account indicated in the invoice or to grant us a direct debit authorization. In the case of a direct debit authorization, we will debit your account at the earliest at the time stipulated in paragraph 1. A direct debit authorization granted shall also apply to further orders until revoked.
(4) In the event that agreed direct debits cannot be collected from the customer’s account and a chargeback occurs, the customer is obligated to transfer the amount owed within three business days after the chargeback and to bear the costs caused by the chargeback.
(5) You are not entitled to offset against our claims unless your counterclaims have been legally established or are undisputed. The same applies to the exercise of a right of retention for a counterclaim arising from the same contract.
(6) Payment for the booked services/consultations is only possible by way of advance payment using the SEPA direct debit procedure.
