Contracts and general terms

Clear agreements that allocate responsibilities and risks.

01

Align the quotation, contract and terms

We review the promised service, price, acceptance, payment, liability and termination together. A limitation in general terms may conflict with a broad guarantee in the quotation. References to the other party’s terms also need attention.

02

Make ongoing obligations visible

For subscriptions and continuing services, we assess expiry, notice periods and price changes. Consumer and business contracts may require different treatment. Employees should understand which commitments they can make within the agreed terms.

03

Keep the applicable version and evidence

We examine how terms are supplied before or when the agreement is concluded. Keeping the agreed version and any negotiated deviations makes later questions easier to resolve. Relevant tax clauses and VAT consequences are considered alongside the commercial agreement.
