Effective: January 29, 2026

1. Scope of Application

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts between LKits (hereinafter referred to as "Contractor") and the Client for consulting, training, and software development services. Any deviating, conflicting, or supplementary general terms and conditions of the Client shall only become part of the contract if the Contractor has expressly agreed to their validity in writing.

2. Services

The Contractor provides consulting and training services in software development as well as the development of software products. The specific scope of services is defined in the respective offer or contract. For time-based billing, services are provided on an effort basis. For project-based billing, the agreed deliverables are owed.

3. Fees and Payment Terms

The fees are set forth in the respective offer. Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are due for payment within 14 days of the invoice date without deduction. For time-based billing, invoices are issued monthly in arrears. In case of late payment, the Contractor is entitled to charge interest at the statutory rate.

4. Client Obligations

The Client shall provide the Contractor with all information, documents, and access necessary for the provision of services in a timely manner. The Client shall designate a contact person who is authorized to make decisions on all matters arising in connection with the execution of the contract.

5. Intellectual Property

All work results created by the Contractor under the contract shall transfer to the Client's ownership upon full payment of the agreed fees. The Contractor retains the right to use generally applicable methods, frameworks, and know-how for other projects. Pre-existing rights of the Contractor or third parties remain unaffected.

6. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential all confidential information received in the course of their cooperation and not to disclose it to third parties without prior written consent. This obligation shall continue to apply after termination of the contract.

7. Liability

The Contractor shall be liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, as well as for damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence. For damages caused by slight negligence, the Contractor shall only be liable in case of breach of material contractual obligations, limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damages. Liability for indirect damages and lost profits is excluded in cases of slight negligence.

8. Termination

For time-based contracts, either party may terminate the contract with 14 days notice to the end of the month, unless otherwise agreed. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. In the event of termination, all services rendered up to that point shall be compensated.

9. Final Provisions

The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be Stuttgart, provided the Client is a merchant, legal entity under public law, or special fund under public law. Should individual provisions of these Terms and Conditions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
