General Terms and Conditions (GTC) of Barth e.U.

1. Scope of Application

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) primarily apply to natural persons as consumers (B2C) within the meaning of § 1 KSchG. Where services are provided to entrepreneurs, these GTC shall apply mutatis mutandis; deviating or supplementary B2B provisions may be agreed in writing.

2. Conclusion of Contract

A contract is concluded once the provider confirms an offer in writing (e.g., via e‑mail) or begins providing the service.

3. Description of Services & Prices

The services are determined by the service description and the offer. All prices are stated without VAT, as the provider is a small business pursuant to § 6 (1) item 27 UStG and does not charge VAT.

4. Terms of Payment

Invoices are payable within 14 days net upon receipt.
In the event of late payment, statutory default interest applies:

For consumers: 4% p.a. pursuant to § 1000 ABGB.
For entrepreneurs: 9.2 percentage points above the base interest rate pursuant to § 456 UGB.

5. Liability

The provider is liable within the scope of statutory provisions.

Liability for slight negligence is limited to breaches of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties).
In cases of gross negligence or intent, liability is unlimited.
Liability for personal injury cannot be excluded and therefore remains unaffected.
Consumer contracts are additionally governed by the mandatory provisions of the Consumer Protection Act (KSchG); general exclusions of liability for slight negligence are particularly invalid (§ 6 (1) item 9 KSchG).
Liability for data loss is limited to cases where the customer proves that adequate data backups were performed.

6. Disruptions of Performance & Withdrawal

If an unforeseeable obstacle occurs that is not attributable to the provider (e.g., force majeure, technical failure), delivery and performance deadlines shall be extended appropriately, or the provider may withdraw from the contract.

7. Customer Duties to Cooperate

The customer shall provide all necessary information and access in a timely manner. Delays arising from insufficient cooperation shall be borne by the customer.

8. Termination

Open‑ended contracts may be terminated by either party with 30 days’ notice to the end of the month.
For consumer contracts, the mandatory provisions of the KSchG also apply (§ 6 (1) item 2 KSchG).
Terminations must be submitted in writing or by e‑mail and must be received in time before the end of the month.

9. Place of Jurisdiction & Applicable Law

Austrian law applies.
For disputes with entrepreneurs (B2B), the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Graz.
For claims against consumers, the mandatory jurisdiction under § 14 KSchG applies (consumer’s residence, habitual domicile, or place of employment).

10. Data Protection

The protection of your personal data is important to us. Details on data processing can be found in our Privacy Policy on the website.

11. Final Provisions

If individual provisions of these GTC are invalid, the remaining provisions remain effective. Any invalid provision shall be replaced by a statutory provision. No verbal side agreements exist.
