Additions or changes to contracts have to be made in writing. This also applies to a change or a removal of this stipulation requesting the written form.

Supply

Any deadlines or delivery dates stated by E2Ma are non-binding and do not entitle the customer to refuse to pay or refuse the delivery of consumer profiles nor does it entitle the customer to request damage. In case of a minor exceedance of a delivery date given by E2Ma the consumer does not have the right to withdraw from the order, unless there was a binding agreement with E2Ma regarding the delivery date .
The consumer profiles are sent out at the consumer’s own risk and expense, if necessary on data mediums like discs and such.

Remuneration

The price for the consumer profiles does not include legal VAT.
If after 6 months after the conclusion of the contract, the cost for the future usage rights has increased to an extent that was not predictable by E2Ma and due to which E2MA cannot be expected to continue with the order fulfilment, E2Ma has the right to adjust its prices also within a contractual year. In this case, the customer has the right to cancel the order.

Payment

Invoicing is based on the minimum billing rate. Final settlement is made after the alignment protocol has been received.
The payment of the agreed price has to be made without any deductions within 14 days after receiving the invoice.
If the payment is not made in time or is not made in full the customer shall reimburse all judicial and extrajudicial costs incurred by E2Ma to assert their claim. After 14 days after the receipt of the invoice, the customer is in default of payment.

Usage right, data protection

– no time limit for acquisition of new customers for himself or the final customer via e-mail;

It is the customer’s own responsibility to comply with the valid data protection laws pertaining to the consumer profiles supplied pursuant to this order, in particular the German data Protection Act and the German Broadcast Media Act.

In connection with advertising, the consumer shall not distribute any illegal and/or immoral content that infringes upon advertising guidelines. Any costs resulting from possible cease-and-desist orders (lawyers’ fees, contractual penalties etc.) issued by consumer protection associations or other organizations referring to telephone advertising shall be borne solely by the customer. To avoid any misuse of data E2Ma uses so-called cover addresses (e-mail, postal mail, phone) as well as external service providers for data protection and quality monitoring. The customer agrees that phone calls with consumers based on the supplied consumer profiles may be recorded by external service providers.

The customer hereby commits to indemnify and hold harmless E2Ma from all claims that might result from the publication of the above-mentioned telephone advertising, unless the claims are based on the use of addresses that do not comply with the performance features specified in this contract.

Warranty and liability

E2Ma is not liable for a specific quality of the consumer profiles it supplied. E2Ma is also not liable for the functionality of the data medium that was used. Any complaints have to be made in writing to E2Ma at the latest 10 working days after the delivery.

E2Ma does not assume liability for any damage resulting from the supplied consumer profiles. This includes all direct and indirect damage, including consequential damage caused by the fact that the consumer profiles were either not supplied at all or not supplied in time or caused by the use of the consumer profiles, possible incompleteness or errors in the consumer profiles; this provision also applies to all damage caused by the loss of the consumer profiles, the supplied data and data mediums, including the costs incurred because to repair or reproduce the consumer profiles.
The disclaimer of liability does not apply to damage caused by loss of life, bodily injury or damage to the health of a person or if E2Ma or the people appointed to carry out this order acted willfully and knowingly or with gross negligence. In case E2Ma is liable, E2Ma is exclusively liable for the immediate damage suffered by the customer.

Poaching

For the duration of the individual contract and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the customer will refrain from submitting an employment or employment offer to E2Ma employees or acting in any other way, terminating their employment contract at E2Ma or in any other way break up.
For each case of violation of the ban on poaching, the customer will pay a contractual penalty in the amount of half the gross annual salary of the employee concerned, but at least EUR 25,000 to E2Ma. Further claims for damages remain unaffected.

Force Majeure

In the context of this contract Force Majeure includes all circumstances that are mentioned with respect thereto in the law and by the jurisprudence; furthermore all circumstances beyond the control of E2Ma which made it impossible for E2Ma to fulfil its obligations or to fulfil its obligations in time. Events of Force Majeure that are limited in time do not give the customer a right to cancel the order. In case of a permanent Force Majeure situation, E2Ma has the right to require the cancellation of the order without E2Ma being liable for damages.

Partial ineffectiveness

If any clause in these terms and conditions or any other part of the contract becomes ineffective at any time or is declared to be ineffective, the other terms as well as the order itself remain unaffected. The parties will replace the ineffective clause or the clause that was declared ineffective by a clause that comes as close to the purpose of the order contract and the conditions the parties pursue as possible.
