Iventa is entitled to reject orders without giving reasons. Iventa reserves the right to withdraw from the execution of orders at any time without giving reasons, in particular in the event of default of payment by the client or possible legal difficulties, even if an annual financial statement or a financial statement for the repeated publication of advertisements or other advertising material is available. Iventa reserves the right to make the acceptance of orders dependent on any advance payment. If the provision of services under period-based contracts becomes impossible for reasons for which Iventa is not responsible (e.g. bankruptcy, liquidation, discontinuation, etc. of the medium), the client shall have no claim against Iventa for pro rata repayment of fees already paid on a flat-rate basis for the entire term of the contract.

The client is responsible for ensuring that the advertisement, including all graphics, does not violate any legal provisions and is free of rights. If Iventa is held liable due to such a breach of law or contract caused by the client, the client shall be obliged to indemnify and hold Iventa harmless. This applies in particular to damages incurred by Iventa as a result of violations of competition, copyright and personal rights caused by the client, in particular for all consequential damages such as costs incurred for counterstatements whose publication was ordered by the court, administrative or judicial penalties, media law compensation, claims for damages of any kind arising from the publication of judgements or communications under the Media Act, including all court and legal fees.

If the employment relationship is terminated during this period, Iventa undertakes to fill the position again without charging a new fee. Only any advertising costs incurred will be charged. In the event of a significant change to the job profile and/or the gross annual salary, a corresponding additional invoice will be issued. The guarantee applies once per order and position. Any deviations from the guarantee can be found in the offer. A refund of the fee paid in the event of a guarantee claim is expressly excluded.

Z 25. Personnel files sent to the client by Iventa remain the property of Iventa. Applicant files must be treated as confidential, returned to Iventa when no longer needed, and may not be passed on to third parties.
