General Terms and Conditions
for the provision of work services by Zenon Technologies AG, ViralScope.io, Hinterbergstrasse 16, Office 17, 6330 Cham, email: support@viralscope.io (hereinafter the “Contractor”) to its customers (hereinafter the “Client”)
1. General
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) for the provision of work services apply to contracts concluded between the Client and the Contractor with inclusion of these GTC.
1.2 If, in addition to these GTC, further contractual documents or other terms and conditions in text or written form have become part of the contract, the provisions of such further contractual documents shall take precedence over these GTC in the event of any conflict.
1.3 Deviating terms and conditions used by the Client are not recognized by the Contractor—unless expressly agreed otherwise.
2. Subject Matter of the Contract and Scope of Services
2.1 The Contractor undertakes to produce the following work:
Access to our Software Solution
2.2 The specific scope of services is the subject of individual agreements between the Contractor and the Client.
2.3 The completion date and the modalities for providing the work shall be regulated by individual agreement. The Contractor shall render the commissioned service by the agreed date in a condition ready for acceptance and free of defects. If timely completion of the work is not possible, the Contractor shall inform the Client without undue delay of the reasons for the delay.
2.4 The Contractor is obliged to provide the services owed under the contract. In performing its activities, however, it is not subject to instructions regarding the manner of performance, the place of performance, or the time of performance. Nevertheless, it will organize working days and time allocation on those days in such a way as to achieve optimal efficiency in its activity and in the realization of the subject matter of this contract. Performance by the Contractor takes place only in coordination and cooperation with the Client.
2.5 The Contractor is entitled to engage further vicarious agents to fulfill the contract. The Contractor is liable for the services of such vicarious agents as for its own services.
2.6 This is a contract for work and services; therefore, Sections 631 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB) apply in addition.
3. Client’s Duty to Cooperate
The Client is responsible for providing completely and correctly the information, data, and other content it must supply for performance of the services. The Contractor is in no way responsible to the Client for delays in performance caused by the Client’s late and necessary cooperation or contributions; the provisions under the heading “Liability/Indemnification” remain unaffected.
4. Remuneration
The remuneration is agreed individually and is generally due after acceptance of the work and payable within 14 days of receipt of the invoice by the Client.
5. Acceptance
After completion of the work, the Contractor will request the Client to accept it. The Client will then verify whether the work conforms to the contract and is free of material defects. The Client and the Contractor will document acceptance in an acceptance report.
6. Warranty
Statutory warranty rights for defects apply.
7. Retention of Title
The work remains the property of the Contractor until full payment of the remuneration.
8. Liability
8.1 The Contractor is liable without limitation on any legal grounds in cases of intent or gross negligence, for intentional or negligent injury to life, body, or health, on the basis of a guarantee (to the extent not regulated otherwise), or due to mandatory liability (e.g., under the Product Liability Act). If the Contractor negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage, unless unlimited liability applies pursuant to the preceding sentence. Material contractual obligations are those obligations which the contract imposes on the Contractor according to its content for achieving the purpose of the contract, whose fulfillment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the customer may regularly rely. Otherwise, the Contractor’s liability is excluded. The foregoing liability provisions also apply to the Contractor’s liability for its vicarious agents and legal representatives.
8.2 The Client shall indemnify the Contractor against any third-party claims asserted against the Contractor due to the Client’s violations of these contractual terms or applicable law.
9. Data Protection and Confidentiality
9.1 The Contractor will treat as strictly confidential all matters that come to its knowledge in connection with the assignment. The Contractor undertakes to impose a duty of confidentiality on all employees and/or third parties who have access to the information covered by the contract. The duty of confidentiality applies without time limit, beyond the duration of this contract.
9.2 In carrying out the assignment, the Contractor undertakes to comply with all data protection regulations—particularly the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
10. Final Provisions
10.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the CISG.
10.2 Should any provision of these GTC be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
10.3 The Client will support the Contractor in providing its contractual services through reasonable acts of cooperation, where necessary. In particular, the Client will provide the Contractor with the information and data required for performance of the assignment.
10.4 If the Client is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, or has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the parties agree that the courts at the Contractor’s registered office shall have jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship; exclusive places of jurisdiction remain unaffected.
10.5 The Contractor is entitled to amend these GTC for objectively justified reasons (e.g., changes in case law, legislation, market conditions, or business or corporate strategy) subject to reasonable notice. Existing customers will be notified thereof by email no later than two weeks before the change takes effect. If the existing customer does not object within the period set in the notice of change, their consent to the amendment shall be deemed given. If the customer objects, the amendments will not take effect; in this case, the Contractor is entitled to terminate the contract extraordinarily as of the intended effective date of the amendment. The notice of the intended amendment to these GTC will point out the period and the consequences of an objection or failure to object.
11. Information on Online Dispute Resolution / Consumer Arbitration
The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
This platform serves as a point of contact for the out-of-court settlement of contractual disputes involving a consumer. The provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board under the VSBG.
