Terms & Conditions

§1 Scope of Application

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all contracts between MBDH UG (haftungsbeschränkt), operating under the brand name morelinq (hereinafter referred to as "Contractor"), and the customer (hereinafter referred to as "Client") for the provision of web development, design, and consulting services.

Any deviating terms and conditions of the Client shall not be recognised unless the Contractor expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

§2 Conclusion of Contract

The presentation of services and prices on the website — in particular in the price calculator — does not constitute a binding offer, but rather a non-binding invitation to submit an offer.

A contract is only concluded upon written order confirmation by the Contractor or upon commencement of the provision of services.

Oral side agreements require written form to be effective.

§3 Price Calculator & Pricing

The price calculator available on the website serves exclusively for non-binding orientation and initial information purposes. The amounts displayed are approximate values and may vary depending on individual project scope, technical requirements, and complexity.

Binding prices are determined exclusively within the framework of an individual offer or the written order confirmation.

All prices quoted are net prices plus the applicable statutory value-added tax (currently 19%).

§4 Scope of Services

The specific scope of services is defined in the written order confirmation or the individual offer. Subsequent changes or extensions to the scope of services require a separate written agreement and may result in an adjustment of the remuneration.

The Contractor is entitled to engage qualified third parties (subcontractors) to fulfil its contractual obligations.

§5 Client's Obligations to Cooperate

The Client shall provide the Contractor with all information, materials, and access required for the provision of services in a timely manner and free of charge.

Delays attributable to insufficient cooperation on the part of the Client shall not be the responsibility of the Contractor and may result in adjustments to deadlines and costs.

§6 Payment Terms

Invoices are due for payment within 14 days of the invoice date without deduction, unless otherwise agreed.

For instalment payments, the individually agreed payment dates apply. In the event of default in payment, the Contractor is entitled to charge default interest at a rate of 5 percentage points above the base interest rate.

The Client may only exercise set-off rights if the counterclaims have been legally established or are undisputed.

§7 Contract Duration & Termination

Hosting, maintenance, and support contracts are concluded for the agreed minimum term (12 or 24 months) and are automatically renewed for a further 12 months unless terminated in writing with 3 months' notice before the end of the respective term.

The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected.

§8 Usage Rights & Copyright

Upon full payment of the agreed remuneration, the Contractor grants the Client the simple usage rights required for the respective contractual purpose in relation to the created works.

Further usage rights, in particular exclusive rights or rights to sub-license, require a separate written agreement.

The Contractor retains the right to use the services provided for reference purposes in its own portfolio.

§9 Liability

The Contractor shall be liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, as well as for damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence.

For slight negligence, the Contractor shall only be liable in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), limited to the foreseeable, typical contractual damage at the time of conclusion of the contract.

Liability for indirect damages, lost profits, and data loss is excluded in cases of slight negligence.

§10 Data Protection

The Contractor processes personal data of the Client exclusively within the framework of the applicable data protection regulations (GDPR, BDSG). Further details are governed by the Privacy Policy on the website.

§11 Governing Law & Jurisdiction

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be, to the extent permitted by law, the registered office of the Contractor.

Should any provision of these GTC be or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely approximates the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
