GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
I. Subject of the General Terms and Conditions
These General Terms and Conditions of Business (“GTC”), together with the Service Agreement and the Cooperation and Mediation Agreement, govern the terms and conditions for the provision of services by the Agent to Suppliers and Customers.

The Customer and the Supplier shall have the right to reject the amendment of the GTC and to terminate the contract for this reason with effect from the day preceding the effective date of these GTC.

III. Aibility Portal
On the Aibility Portal, the Intermediary presents the Supplier through its medallion containing information about the Supplier and enables the Customer to enquire about the Supplier’s performance.

The Intermediary undertakes, without undue delay after receiving an enquiry from the Customer, to forward it to the Supplier for processing together with the necessary data provided by the Customer. The Intermediary is not responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by the Customer. The Customer acknowledges that for the purpose of concluding the Cooperation Agreement, he/she will be subsequently contacted by the Supplier or the Intermediary by e-mail or by the telephone number he/she has provided to the Intermediary.
In the case of a Cooperation Contract concluded between the Customer and the Supplier, the Intermediary is not a party to this Contract and therefore is not liable and is not responsible for the performance of the obligations of any party to the Cooperation Contract and is not liable for any damages resulting from a breach of the obligations arising from the Cooperation Contract.
The Customer shall create a Customer Account through the Aibility Portal, through which the Customer is entitled to request the performance provided by the Supplier and the Intermediary. The Customer represents and warrants to the Intermediary that it has read, understands and agrees to these GTC. The Intermediary is not obliged to ensure the continuous operation of the Aibility Portal. In the event of an outage or interruption of the Aibility Portal, the Intermediary shall not be liable in any way to the Customer and/or the Supplier. Furthermore, the Intermediary shall not be liable for damages caused by computer viruses, malfunction of the Aibility Portal or unauthorised access to the Customer’s or Supplier’s data by another person.
Clicking on certain links on the Aibility Portal may result in leaving the Aibility Portal and being redirected to third party websites.

The obligation of confidentiality of Confidential Information shall not apply where a law or public authority imposes an obligation to disclose or use Confidential Information.
The Intermediary, the Customer and the Supplier undertake to ensure the confidentiality and secrecy of the Confidential Information by their employees as well as by other persons whom they delegate to perform partial actions in connection with any contractual relationship.

Default in payment of the Price for the Services for more than thirty (30) days,

Termination of the provision of services shall not affect the Intermediary’s right to payment for services already provided, to liquidated damages or to full compensation.

However, the Intermediary may, at its sole discretion, assign the whole or part of the Service Contract or the Cooperation and Mediation Contract to another company in the Intermediary’s group (meaning companies linked to the Intermediary by property or personnel).
