Deviating provisions in order agreements made with the customer (hereinafter “offer”) take precedence. Deviations from these terms and conditions are only valid if they have been agreed in writing.

§5 Invoicing


 The client receives a fee invoice for the services provided by TalentStrategen for each order, if necessary several, according to due dates. Each invoice is a clear and serious request for payment. The customer shall ensure that the fees are credited to the account specified on the invoice within 14 days of receipt of the invoice at the latest. After the expiry of the aforementioned 14 days, default occurs without the need for a further statement or similar on the part of TalentStrategen, in particular a further reminder. From the time of default, TalentStrategen is entitled to demand default interest of 1% per month. In the event of objections to the correctness and amount of the invoiced claims, the customer must submit their objections in writing within two weeks of the invoice date, otherwise the invoice is deemed to be recognised in terms of reason and amount.


 § 6 Registration and cancellation

StGB, an offence against life (§§ 211 ff. StGB), an offence against physical integrity (§§ 223 ff. StGB), an offence against personal freedom (§§ 232 ff.

(8) After termination of the contractual relationship, all user data will be deleted by TalentStrategen.
