The general terms and conditions mentioned here apply to all contracts concluded between Fabian Marschelewski and the client. The terms and conditions are agreed if the client does not object to them immediately after receipt.

1. Copyright and rights of use

2.1 Drafts and final artwork together with the granting of rights of use form a single service. Remuneration shall be based on the agreed fee.

3.1 The remuneration is due upon delivery of the work or upon delivery within an agreed payment period. It is payable without deduction. If the ordered work is accepted in parts, a corresponding partial payment shall be due in each case upon acceptance of the part.

7.6 Deadlines for projects have to be chosen in such a way that there is enough time for an adequate processing. This also includes the timely delivery of tasks and material. The client or responsible project manager is solely liable for any failure to meet or exceeding of the deadline due to non-compliance with the above mentioned reasons.

8. Freedom of design and templates

8.1 Fabian Marschelewski is free to design as part of the order. If the client requests changes during or after production, he must bear the additional costs. Fabian Marschelewski retains the right to remuneration for work that has already begun.
8.2 If the execution of the order is delayed for reasons for which the client is responsible, Fabian Marschelewski may demand an appropriate increase in remuneration. In the event of intent or gross negligence, he may also assert claims for damages.
