General Terms and Conditions (GTC)

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts between Peter Feistmantl, Half99, Meidlinger Hauptstraße 84, 1120 Vienna, Austria (hereinafter "Contractor") and the respective client. Deviating terms and conditions of the client shall not be recognised unless the Contractor expressly agrees to their validity in writing. These GTC also apply to all future business relationships, even if they are not expressly agreed upon again.

Offers made by the Contractor are non-binding. A contract is only concluded upon the Contractor's written order confirmation or upon commencement of service delivery. The exact scope of services is set out in the respective offer or order confirmation. Changes to the scope of services require written agreement and may result in adjustments to price and delivery time.

All prices are in euros (€) plus statutory VAT unless otherwise stated. Payment is made as follows: 50% deposit upon conclusion of the contract, 50% upon completion and acceptance of the service. Monthly support services are invoiced quarterly in advance. Payments are to be made exclusively by bank transfer. In the event of late payment, the Contractor is entitled to charge interest on arrears at 9.2 percentage points above the base rate and to suspend service delivery until payment is received.

The client is obliged to provide all information, materials and accesses required for the provision of services in a timely and complete manner. Delays arising from insufficient cooperation on the part of the client are the client's responsibility. Delivery times only apply from the time all required content and approvals have been received in full. The client bears responsibility for the legal permissibility of the content they provide.

Stated delivery times are non-binding guidelines and only begin after full receipt of all documents required from the client and the agreed deposit. The Contractor endeavours to meet agreed deadlines. In the event of delays not attributable to the Contractor (force majeure, lack of cooperation from the client, etc.), delivery times shall be extended accordingly. Claims for damages due to delays in delivery only exist in cases of proven intent or gross negligence.

After completion of the agreed services, the client is obliged to accept them within 14 days or to communicate justified defects in writing. If no feedback is received within this period, the service shall be deemed accepted. Revision rounds in the design process are included in the agreed scope. Significant changes to the original briefing after project commencement may be charged as additional services.

Upon full payment of all agreed services, the Contractor transfers to the client the simple, non-exclusive right to use the created works for the agreed purpose. The copyright in the created works remains with the Contractor. The Contractor is entitled to use the services rendered as a reference in their portfolio and in marketing materials, unless the client expressly objects. The client is obliged to ensure that they own all rights to the content they provide (texts, images, logos) or are authorised to use them.

The Contractor warrants that the services rendered correspond to the agreed specifications. Warranty claims must be asserted within 6 months of acceptance. The Contractor's liability is limited to intent and gross negligence. Liability for lost profits, indirect damages or consequential damages is excluded to the extent permitted by law. The Contractor provides no guarantee for specific search engine rankings or specific business results from the services rendered.

Monthly support contracts may be terminated at any time with 30 days' notice to the end of the current quarter. Termination must be made in writing by email to hello@half99.com. Services already rendered must be remunerated in any case. In the event of serious contractual breaches, the Contractor is entitled to extraordinary termination.

Austrian law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The place of jurisdiction for disputes arising from this contractual relationship is Vienna, to the extent permitted by law. Should individual provisions of these GTC be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid rule that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision. Amendments and additions to these GTC require written form.
