Terms and Conditions
General Scope
Our terms and conditions apply exclusively; conditions of the customer which are conflicting or deviating from our terms and conditions will not be recognized unless we have expressly agreed to in writing. Our terms and conditions apply, even if we fulfill the delivery while aware of conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of the customer.
We are entitled to change these terms and conditions upon approval by the customer, provided the change is in consideration of our interests and reasonable for the customer. The approval of the amendment shall be deemed to be granted if the customer does not object within six weeks after receipt of the notice of change which is coupled with a reference to the consequences of non-objection.
Conclusion of Contract
The customer’s order is considered as a binding offer that we can accept within a week by sending an order confirmation or by delivery of the goods. Previous offers made by us are subject to change.
We reserve ownership and copyright for all illustrations, drawings, calculations and other documents. This also applies to written documents that are considered as confidential. Before passing them on to third parties the customer needs our explicit written permission.
Delivery
If delivery times are specified by us and have been made the basis for the award of the contract, such deadlines are extended for the duration of the delay in case of strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental action, labour conditions, earthquakes, material shortages, or any other cause that is beyond our reasonable control, including any failure of wireless cellular services provided by any third party in connection with your use of the Service. The same applies if the customer does not fulfill their obligations to cooperate.
Delivery ex works is agreed, provided the order confirmation does not state otherwise.

The same applies if the customer does not fulfill agreed obligations to cooperate. We will attempt to provide completed work within 14 days of filming.

Liability for damages
Our liability for breaches of contract duties and in tort is limited to intent and gross negligence. This does not apply to injury to life, limb or health of the customer or claims regarding the violation of cardinal obligations, i.e obligations that arise from the nature of the contract and with its breach the purpose of the contract is at risk as well as replacement of delay damages. In that regard, we are liable to a maximum of the monetary value of the job being undertaken by us for the Customer.
The above disclaimer also applies to slight negligent breaches of duty by our vicarious agents.
If the liability for damages that are not based on injury to life, limb or health of the customer is not barred for slight negligence, such claims shall lapse within a year starting with the emergence of the claim respectively in case of claims for damages due to a defect with transfer of the good.
As far as liability for damages against us is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of our employees, servants, employees, representatives and agents.
