In case of cancellation between the expiration of the 22nd and the expiration of the 8th day before the date, the cancellation fee is a flat rate of 50% of the gross amount owed.

Wellnow will announce price increases to the customer one month in advance in text form. In case of price increases, the customer has a special right of termination, which he must assert in text form (e.g. by e-mail) within 14 days after notification by Wellnow.

e) The client undertakes to provide the personnel deployed by Wellnow with a parking space free of charge for the duration of the appointment; otherwise Wellnow shall charge a flat fee of EUR 9.00 net per appointment and per person deployed. Any other travel expenses of the personnel deployed by Wellnow shall also be borne by the Client.

7. duration of the contract, termination of the contract

a) If the parties agree on a regular appointment frequency of more than three months, the first three months shall be a test phase. The client may terminate the contractual relationship prematurely one month before the end of the test phase. In the case of a twelve-month term, the regular notice period shall be three months. The parties may individually agree on a test phase and notice period deviating from this.

b) The contractual relationship shall be automatically extended following the contractual period by the length of the original contractual relationship if the parties do not agree on an individual extension of the contract.

c) The term of the contract shall begin on the 1st day of the month in which the Client's first appointment agreed with Wellnow is to take place.

For Wellnow, an important reason shall be deemed to exist in particular if the customer violates his obligations from the aforementioned clauses 4a), 4c) of these GTC.

e) Notice of termination must be given in text form (e.g. e-mail).

8. warranty and liability

a) Wellnow shall be liable for intent and gross negligence. Wellnow shall be liable for slight negligence in case of damages resulting from injury to life, body or health of persons.

b) In case of slight negligence, Wellnow shall be liable only in case of breach of an essential contractual obligation, the fulfillment of which is a prerequisite for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the customer may regularly rely (cardinal obligation), and limited to the amount of damages foreseeable and typical for the contract at the time of the conclusion of the contract.

c) This limitation of liability also applies to the benefit of Wellnow's vicarious agents.

9. right to exemption

a) The Customer shall indemnify Wellnow and its employees or agents against all claims of third parties in the event that claims are asserted by third parties due to alleged or actual infringements and/or violation of third party rights in connection with the use of the platform and/or the publication of content.

10. use of trademarks and distinctive signs for reference purposes

For the duration of the contract, the client grants Wellnow the geographically unrestricted right to use the client's trademarks and business designations digitally and analogously in all media suitable for this purpose (e.g. online and print use of any kind) for self-promotion purposes.

11. non-solicitation; contractual penalty for violation of non-solicitation

a) During the term of these GTC and up to two years after the end of the contract, the Client undertakes to refrain from directly commissioning, either himself or through third parties, personnel of Wellnow (employees or commissioned partners) for services corresponding to the contractual services, in particular if such commissioning threatens Wellnow with the disclosure of business secrets or a significant impairment of the personnel and customer base.

b) In case of violation of the non-solicitation clause according to clause 11 a) of these GTC, the customer shall forfeit a contractual penalty for each individual case. The contractual penalty shall be calculated in the amount of the turnover generated by Wellnow through the former personnel of Wellnow engaged by the customer himself within the last 12 months of the contractual relationship between Wellnow and the former personnel. If the contractual relationship between Wellnow and the former personnel exists for less than 12 months, the amount of the contractual penalty shall be calculated according to the turnover generated with this personnel until then, calculated for 12 months. If the amount of the contractual penalty agreed upon according to lit. a) is not appropriate in a specific individual case, it shall be reviewed by the competent court in case of dispute. The contractual penalty shall become due at the time it is incurred. Wellnow reserves the right to assert other claims for damages.

12. data protection

Wellnow provides the services itself as the responsible party pursuant to Art. 4 No. 7 DSGVO; in terms of data protection law, there is no commissioned processing for the customer. Information on data protection law can be found in the current data protection declaration.

13. final provisions

a) Should one or more provisions of these GTC be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

In case of changes to essential provisions of these GTC, the customer has a special right of termination, which must be asserted in writing within 14 days after notification by Wellnow. In the notification, Wellnow will separately point out to the customer the significance of his conduct. Material provisions in this sense are in particular clauses 1 to 7 of these GTC.

c) Wellnow is entitled to transfer this contract including all additional agreements with all rights and obligations to a company of its choice.

In the notification, Wellnow will separately point out to the Client the significance of his conduct.
