Article 2. Applicability / execution

2.1. These General Terms and Conditions apply to all quotations, agreements, and deliveries of MIN-studio, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.

2.2. Assignments must be confirmed in writing by the client.

Additional verbal agreements and arrangements are only binding for MIN-studio after written confirmation by MIN-studio.

2.4. MIN-studio is entitled to engage third parties in the execution of its agreements.

2.5. If a situation arises between parties that is not regulated in these terms, it must be assessed in accordance with the spirit of these terms.

2.6. If the client does not always demand strict compliance with these terms, this does not mean that the provisions are not applicable, or that MIN-studio loses the right to demand strict compliance in other cases.

8.2. If MIN-studio must perform additional work due to circumstances unknown at the time of quotation or confirmation, or must work under more difficult conditions than initially known, MIN-studio is entitled to charge the resulting additional costs. This includes extra hours required to restart a project due to significant delays caused by the client. If the client does not accept these additional costs, they have the right to cancel the unexecuted portion of the assignment.

8.3. Without being in default, MIN-studio may refuse requests to change the agreement if such changes could have qualitative and/or quantitative consequences for the work or deliverables.
