General terms and conditions

This page is a translation. The German version (AGB) is the authoritative one.

These general terms and conditions govern the cooperation between me, Christoph Amann (amann one), and my clients.

Terms at a glance

The following ten sections govern contract formation, scope of services, fees, term and liability for consulting, coaching and training under the amann one brand.

§ 1 Scope

These terms apply to all contracts for consulting, coaching and training that I, Christoph Amann (amann one), conclude with my clients, regardless of whether the service is delivered in person, digitally or in a mixed format.

These terms apply exclusively to businesses within the meaning of § 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB). Deviating, conflicting or supplementary terms of the client do not become part of the contract unless I have expressly agreed to them in writing.

§ 2 Contract formation

My service descriptions, for example on amann.one, in an offer or in a strategy conversation, are not a binding offer but an invitation to enquire. A contract is formed when the client accepts my offer by confirming it in writing (including by email) or when I begin the agreed service.

The scope of the contractual service results from the respective offer or order confirmation. Amendments and additions require text form.

§ 3 Services

I provide coaching, consulting and training services around professional networking and LinkedIn, in particular within the offers Visibility Audit (Sichtbarkeits-Audit), Executive Visibility Sprint, Executive Network System and Executive Network Partner. I agree the exact scope, approach and term with the client on a case-by-case basis.

I owe the agreed service, not a specific commercial outcome (e.g. a certain number of new contacts, clients or revenue). Building a network and visibility depend on numerous factors beyond my control.

I am entitled to use suitable vicarious agents to perform the service, provided this does not impair the quality of the cooperation.

§ 4 Client cooperation

The client supports the cooperation by providing me in good time with the information, access and documents required to perform the service and by attending agreed appointments. If the service is delayed by the client's failure to cooperate, agreed dates are postponed accordingly without any disadvantage to me.

§ 5 Fees and payment terms

The fee is based on the respective offer. I work on a project or package basis, not at an hourly rate. Unless stated otherwise, all prices are exclusive of statutory value added tax.

Unless agreed otherwise, invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date without deduction. For multi-stage or longer-running services (e.g. Executive Network System, Executive Network Partner), payment in instalments or an advance payment may be agreed.

If the client is in default of payment, I am entitled to suspend further services until the outstanding amount has been settled. The statutory provisions on default of payment (§§ 286 et seq. BGB) remain unaffected.

§ 6 Term and termination

For services with a fixed term (e.g. Sprint over 6 weeks, Network System over 90 days), the contract ends automatically when the agreed term expires or when the agreed service has been fully delivered.

For continuing obligations with ongoing fees (e.g. Executive Network Partner), the minimum term stated in the offer applies. Thereafter, either party may terminate the contract with one month's notice to the end of the current contract period, unless agreed otherwise in the individual case.

The right of both parties to terminate for good cause remains unaffected. For me, good cause exists in particular if the client remains in default with a significant payment despite a reminder and a reasonable deadline.

Termination requires text form (e.g. email).

§ 7 Confidentiality

Both parties undertake to treat all confidential information of the other party obtained in the course of the cooperation as confidential and to use it only for the purpose of performing the contract. This obligation continues after the contract has ended.

This does not affect naming the client as a reference, provided the client has expressly agreed to this in the individual case.

§ 8 Usage rights to work results

Where I create texts, concepts or other work results for the client as part of the service, I grant the client, after full payment of the fee, a non-exclusive right of use to these work results for the agreed purpose, unlimited in time and territory. My own concepts, methods and templates that I developed independently of the specific assignment remain my property.

§ 9 Liability

I am liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health and for damages caused by intent or gross negligence.

In the case of slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the client may rely, my liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Otherwise, liability for damages caused by slight negligence is excluded.

The above limitations of liability do not apply to claims under the Product Liability Act and do not affect any liability arising from the assumption of a guarantee.

§ 10 Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If the client is a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is Ulm. I am also entitled to bring an action at the client's registered office.

Should a provision of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory provision replaces the invalid provision.
