Der Markt, der bislang von Installateuren und Errichtern dominiert wird, bietet Systemhäusern ein enormes Potenzial. Sie können nicht nur ihren Wissensvorsprung im Bereich IP-Netzwerke ausspielen, sondern auch mit Komplettlösungen aus Überwachungs- kameras, Speichersystemen und Displays punkten. Durch intelligente Bildanalyse-Anwendungen entstehen zudem völlig neue Geschäftsfelder, etwa in der Überwachung von Produk- tionsprozessen.

1. An „order“ in the sense of the general terms and conditions that follow is a contract relating to the publication of one or more advertisements of an advertiser or other advertising space buyer in the magazines of the publisher for the purpose of distribution, and to the placement of online advertising on the web sites of the publisher. These terms and conditions will also apply to an order for third-party inserts in the magazines brought out by the publisher. Online advertising will cover banners, pop-ups, special interest and keyword placements.

2. Differing, conflicting or supplemental general terms and conditions of advertising clients will not be recognized as an integral part of the contract, that is unless the publisher expressly agrees to them.

3. The publisher may alter these terms and conditions at any time. They will inform their clients in good time of any alteration, at the latest one month in advance. The publisher is authorized in particular in the event of the inoperativeness of a term or condition, to add to or replace the latter with effect for existing contracts, and upon the alteration of a legal provision or supreme court decision if said alteration affects one or more terms and conditions of the contractual relationship, to adapt the affected terms and conditions to suit the purpose of the altered legal situation.

4. The order will be concluded with the acceptance of the client‘s order by the publisher. Such acceptance may be in writing or by e-mail.5. Should an advertising agency commission advertising orders on behalf of third parties, the contract will be concluded strictly with the advert-

ising agency and not with its ordering party. If the ordering party of the advertising agency is to be the contractual partner, it will be named by the advertising agency as the ordering party and the issue of an order to the advertising agency verified in writing.

6. Advertising brokers and advertising agencies are duty bound to abide by the price list of the publisher in their proposals, contracts and billing with advertising parties. The commission granted by the publisher may not be passed on to the client, either wholly or in part.

7. The client is not entitled to the inclusion of advertisements in certain numbers, certain editions or at certain places of magazines. The publisher is free to insert an advertisement at a suitable spot, that is unless insertion was agreed for a certain number, in a certain edition or for a certain place of the particular magazine. The requirement for this is punctual availability of the ready to print copy. If the order cannot be performed in the particular number, the particular edition or at the particular place of the magazine, the publisher is authorized to insert in another number at a suitable spot. Categorized ads will be printed in the particular column without the need for an express agreement.

8. Placement of online advertising will be made as reasonably seen fit with the greatest possible consideration of the client‘s interests. The client is not entitled to placement of online advertising at a certain position of the particular web site. The publisher reserves the right to change the date of appearance of online advertising for technical or other comprehensible reasons.

9. The client may cancel orders for online advertising after conclusion of the contract. Cancellation must be in writing. The publisher will termin-ate insertion of the online advertising immediately after receipt of the cancellation.

10. Cancellation fee online: Cancellation until two weeks before the commencement of insertion is free of cost. In the event of cancellation within a shorter term the publisher is entitled to bill the following costs:- 30% of the net value of the order for cancellation less than two weeks before the commencement of insertion;- 50% of the net value of the order for cancellation within one week of the commencement of insertion;- for cancellation after the commencement of insertion 50% of the net value of the order that is still due at the time of terminating insertion of online advertising. The price of online advertising already inserted will also be billed.Cancellation terms print: Cancellation is possible free of charge until the ad closing date.

11. Different to the above provisions, cost-free cancellation of scheduled postings is only possible until two weeks before the date of insertion at the latest.

12. The publisher reserves the right to decline advertisement orders, also single insertions, advertisement texts and supplement orders because of the content, origin or technical form according to uniform, factually justified principles of the publisher if their content violates laws or official stipulations, or their publication is unacceptable for the publisher. Supplement orders are not binding for the publisher until the presentation of a specimen of the supplement or their approval. Supplements that create the impression with the reader, through their format or layout, of being a constituent part of the magazine or that contain third-party advertisements will not be accepted. Refusal of an order will be communicated to the client immediately. Advertisements that are not recognizable as advertisements because of their editorial composition may be identified by the publisher by the word „Anzeige“ [Advertisement]. In as much as online advertising is not obviously advertising, the publisher may also identify it as such, in particular by the word „Anzeige“ [Advertisement], and/or set it off from the editorial content to make its advertising nature plain.

13. The client is responsible for punctual delivery of proper ready to print copy or supplements or for punctual delivery of materials required for online advertising. In the case of digital ready to print copy the client undertakes to deliver proper copy, complying in particular with the format or the technical specifications of the publisher, punctually for the print copy deadline.

14. All services rendered by the publisher are subject to punctual fulfillment and execution of obligations and assistance on the part of the client. In the case of audio and/or video linked advertising (e.g. banners that cause a pop-up window to open when clicked on, in which audio and/or video content is reproduced) the client is responsible for concluding the necessary agreements with GEMA [society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights in Germany] or other copyright associations and/or owners.

15. In cases where a number of related files are sent, the client will ensure that these data are sent and/or saved in a common directory (folder).16. Digitally transmitted artwork for color advertisements can only be reliably processed with a color proof supplied on paper. Differences in color

are unavoidable without a color proof, but are no entitlement to a price reduction. In every case a printout is to be sent by fax to the print shop to be able to check factual correctness. The client must expressly request a faxed correction. Only correct color adjustment ensures correct color implementation within the usual tolerances.

17. Before a digital transmission of artwork the client is responsible for ensuring that the transmitted files are free of any computer viruses. Should the publisher discover computer viruses in a file transmitted by e-mail, said file will be deleted immediately without the possibility of the client making any related claims. The publisher also reserves the right to claim for damages of the client should the publisher suffer damages as a result of such computer viruses being infiltrated by the client.

18. If artwork is transmitted to the publisher digitally by a data medium, it will only be returned on special request to the client.19. Discernibly unsuitable or damaged ready to print copy and/or advertising material will be replaced by the client immediately when requested to

do so by the publisher. The cost of producing ordered ready to print copy and/or of producing ordered advertising material and of substantial alterations to originally agreed versions that are wished by the client and for which the latter is responsible because of the technical quality of the supplied ready to print copy and/or advertising material will be borne by the client. Should any deficiencies in the ready to print copy and/or advertising material not be immediately discernible but only become so in the printing operation and/or upon insertion, the client is not entitled to raise any claims for an inadequate impression and/or poor insertion.

20. The client avouches that they are the unconditional owner of all rights of use to the advertising material necessary for publication and distri-bution. In this respect they indemnify the publisher from all claims by third parties, and grant the publisher the rights of usage necessary for publication of the advertising material.

21. The client avouches that they are entitled to set the hyperlinks connected to the online advertising. The client furthermore affirms that they will abide by the applicable data privacy legislation – in particular of the Federal and Teleservices Data Protection Act – and also impose such a responsibility on their employees. Should the client use special techniques such as cookies or tracking pixels to obtain or collect data from the insertion of advertising material in the online offering of the publisher, the client also affirms that they will abide by the precepts of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and/or of the Interstate Broadcasting Treaty (RfStV) as well as the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) in the collection, processing and use of personal data.

22. In the event of wholly or partly illegible, incorrect or incomplete impression of an advertisement, the client may claim impression of a faultless substitute advertisement, but only to the extent to which the purpose of the advertisement was adversely affected. Should the publisher allow a reasonable term set them for this purpose to pass by, or if the substitute advertisement is again not free of faults, the client may claim a reduction of payment (abatement) or cancellation of the order (redhibitory action).

23. In the event of insufficiencies in online advertising the publisher will initially of their own choice offer rectification or replacement. Should subsequent fulfillment fail, the client may of their own choice demand a reduction of payment (abatement) or cancellation of the order (red-hibitory action).

24. The client must report evident insufficiencies of online advertising in writing within three workdays after said online advertising goes live; otherwise a warranty claim may no longer be enforced.

25. In other respects the publisher is only liable in as much as they, their auxiliary persons and/or legal representatives are accused of deliberate or grossly negligent behavior. This does not apply in as much as the publisher violates principal obligations of the contract.

26. In cases of petty negligence the publisher and/or their auxiliary persons and legal representatives cannot be held liable for financial losses especially in terms of consequential damages, unpredictable or atypical damages and loss of profit. Otherwise in the event of financial losses in cases of petty negligence the liability of the publisher is limited to the payment to be made by the client. For claims under the Product Liability Act and for injury to life, body or health the publisher is liable according to statutory provisions.

27. All claims by the client of the publisher resulting from malperformance or insufficiencies of online advertising expire one year after the origin-ation of such claims, that is unless they are founded on claims of deliberate negligence.

28. Proofs will only be supplied if expressly wished. The client bears responsibility for the correctness of the sent proofs. The publisher will include all error corrections of which they are informed by the print copy deadline or within a term agreed upon by the two parties.

29. If no particular sizes are specified, pricing will be based on the actual impression height that is usual for the type of advertisement.30. If the client does not pay in advance, the invoice will be sent immediately or within 14 days of publication of the advertisement. Prices for

advertising material are taken from the valid price list. Price reductions resulting from changed terms and conditions apply immediately to ongoing orders, price increases one month after announcement of the terms and conditions. If payment for online advertising is billed on a CPM basis, the publisher will inform the client on request of the number of ad impressions, the ad clicks and the ad click rate (ratio of ad clicks to ad impressions) of the web sites where the online advertising of the client is placed or, if payment is billed on a pay-per-click basis, of the number of actual clicks.

31. Payment is due within the term shown on the price list, that is unless from case to case a different term of payment or advance payment is agreed in writing. Any discounts for early payment are granted according to the price list. Agreed or allowed discounts for the insertion of a number of advertising means or upon the conclusion of blanket orders are only valid if the particular quantity and the time frame are adhered to. Upon non-adherence to the agreed quantity or time frame, the publisher is entitled to recalculate the discount proportionally to the difference between the discount granted and that corresponding to the actual quantity.

32. Upon default of payment or granting of a respite, interest of 8% above the prime lending rate will be billed or, if the client is a consumer in the sense of para. 13 of the German Civil Code, of 5% above the prime lending rate. Upon default of payment the publisher may put further execution of the current order on hold until payment, and demand advance payment for remaining advertisements. If there are well-founded doubts about the solvency of the client, the publisher is entitled even during the running time of agreed advertisements to demand advance payment of the amount due when the advertisements are completed and payment of any outstanding invoices, regardless of any originally agreed time for payment, before publishing any further advertisements.

33. On request the publisher will supply an advertisement proof. Depending on the nature and scope of the advertising order, advertisement cutouts, proof pages or complete proof numbers will be supplied. If a proof can no longer be obtained, it is replaced by legally binding certification by the publisher of the publication and distribution of the advertisement.

34. In the case of box number advertisements the publisher applies due diligence in safekeeping and forwarding the offers. Registered letters and express letters in response to box number advertisements are only forwarded by regular mail. Receipts from box number advertisements are kept for four weeks. Letters that are not collected during this time are destroyed.

35. If a joint discount is claimed for affiliated enterprises, written evidence of the affiliation status of the client is necessary. Affiliated enterprises in the sense of this condition are enterprises between which there is a capital share of at least 50%. Evidence must be produced before claiming such a joint discount. Joint discounts for affiliated enterprises are subject in every case to express written confirmation by the publisher. Termination of the affiliation of an enterprise is to be reported immediately; termination of the affiliation of an enterprise also terminates any joint discount.

36. The publisher is not responsible for delays in performance resulting from force majeure (strike, lockout, disruption of operations, etc). After removal of the obstruction the publisher can immediately publish advertisements in the next possible issue of the publication and online advertising, or wholly or partly withdraw from the contract. The client has no right to claims for compensation.

37. Alterations or additions to these general terms and conditions must be communicated in writing, by telefax or by e-mail. That also applies to alterations to this clause.

38. Any inoperativeness of a term or condition of these terms and conditions shall not affect the operativeness of the remaining terms and condi-tions. An inoperative term and condition is to be replaced by a term and condition that comes closest to the intended business import of the term and condition now considered inoperative.

39. The place of jurisdiction is that of the registered office of the publisher if the client is a merchant in the sense of the code of commercial law, a legal person governed by public law or a special fund under public law.
