Version 1.0, May 25, 2019

  1. General 1.1. The following General Terms and Conditions regulate all legal relationships between the customer (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”) and the service company Fastlink Europe (hereinafter referred to as “Fastlink Europe”). 1.2. These AGB apply exclusively; opposing or deviating conditions of the Customer will not be recognized unless Fastlink Europe has agreed to them in writing in an individual case. 1.3. These AGB also apply to all future business relationships between Fastlink Europe and the Customer, even if they are not expressly re-agreed upon. 1.4. Fastlink Europe informs its customers in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act that the personal and company data collected during the processing of business relationships will be processed by Fastlink Europe to the extent necessary for contract processing. The Customer gives explicit consent for this. The Customer also informs its employees about the corresponding data processing in the course of contractual arrangements with Fastlink Europe. Therefore, Fastlink Europe assumes that the Customer’s employees agree to such data processing by Fastlink Europe.

  2. Contract Conclusion 2.1. A contract may be concluded between the Customer and Fastlink Europe verbally, in writing, or through implicit behavior. As a rule, contracts are concluded through a written order from the Customer based on a written offer from Fastlink Europe or by a written order confirmation from Fastlink Europe, to which the Customer does not object in writing within 10 days of receiving the order confirmation. 2.2. The price quotations, rates, hourly charges, etc., of Fastlink Europe provided on the Internet, in catalogs, in presentations, and in advertisements are non-binding and must be expressly confirmed in writing by Fastlink Europe to be legally binding.

  3. Scope of Services 3.1. The scope of services is based on the offer/order signed by the Customer or the written order confirmation from Fastlink Europe. Changes regarding the order confirmation from Fastlink Europe require written confirmation from Fastlink Europe to be valid. 3.2. The Customer must inform Fastlink Europe in writing about the regulations and standards that relate to Fastlink Europe’s services before an offer is created. In the absence of any other agreement, the services provided by Fastlink Europe shall comply only with those regulations and standards that are mentioned in the order confirmation or offers from Fastlink Europe. The preceding sentence does not apply to the compliance with mandatory statutory regulations and standards. 3.3. If Fastlink Europe is obligated to develop software, the service is deemed to be contractually fulfilled if it meets the specifications set forth in Fastlink Europe’s functional description, regardless of any other qualities of the software. 3.4. Changes and additions to the subject matter or scope of the services owed are not binding without written confirmation from Fastlink Europe. 3.5. Fastlink Europe is authorized to make changes or additions to the agreed services that lead to improvements, as long as these do not result in a price increase for the Customer. 3.6. Agreed performance deadlines are non-binding for Fastlink Europe and especially depend on the fulfillment of the Customer’s contractual cooperation obligations and the timely supply of materials to Fastlink Europe by suppliers. The Customer is in no way entitled to hold Fastlink Europe liable for damages due to non-compliance with contractual delivery deadlines. 3.7. The Customer shall provide Fastlink Europe free of charge with all information, facilities, and other support necessary for Fastlink Europe to provide the contractually agreed services. The Customer undertakes to create the organizational and technical prerequisites for Fastlink Europe to fulfill the agreed services.

Fastlink Europe is authorized to involve third parties for contract fulfillment or to transfer fulfillment in whole or in part to third parties. 3.9. Order changes will in any case be executed “without recognition of a legal obligation.” The associated possible delay in time does not entitle the Customer to cancel the order or purchase.

If such an agreement cannot be reached within 30 days after the suspension of performance or Fastlink Europe does not receive sufficient security, Fastlink Europe is entitled, without prejudice to its legal and contractual rights, to withdraw from the contract after setting a deadline and threatening rejection. Claims for damages by Fastlink Europe remain reserved. 5.5. The offsetting of the Customer’s counterclaims is only permissible if these claims have been legally established or expressly acknowledged by Fastlink Europe. 5.6. If the Customer is in default of payment, Fastlink Europe is entitled to charge default interest of 8% per annum.

If hidden defects do not become apparent until later, the Customer must notify Fastlink Europe immediately in writing and in detail. If the Customer fails to make a timely complaint, the corresponding services of Fastlink Europe are considered approved by the Customer.
