Clause 1: “Advertising Order” within the meaning of the following General Terms and Conditions refers to the contract for the publication of one or more advertisements by an advertiser or other client on the Open Webinar World website, in a TechTalk (webinar), or in the TechTalk program information for the purpose of dissemination.

Clause 2: Advertisements must, in case of doubt, be published within one year of the conclusion of the contract. If the right to call up individual advertisements is granted as part of a contract, the order must be completed within one year from the publication of the first advertisement, provided the first advertisement is called up and published within the period specified in the first sentence.

Clause 3: In the case of contracts, the client is entitled to call up additional advertisements within the agreed period or the period specified in Clause 2, even beyond the quantity specified in the order.

Clause 4: If an order is not fulfilled for reasons beyond the control of the publisher, the client must reimburse the publisher for the difference between the granted discount and the discount corresponding to the actual purchase, without prejudice to any further legal obligations. Reimbursement is not required if the non-fulfillment is due to force majeure within the publisher’s area of risk.

Clause 5: Orders for advertisements in TechTalks, on the website, or in the program information that are explicitly intended to appear only in specific formats, at specific positions, or at specific times must be submitted to the publisher in a timely manner, allowing the publisher to notify the client before publication if the order cannot be executed as requested.

Clause 6: Advertisements will only be placed in specific positions or formats if such special placements have been confirmed in writing by the publisher.

Clause 7: Cancellations of TechTalks or advertisements in any Open Webinar World medium must be made in writing at least 8 weeks before the scheduled date. Cancellation less than 8 weeks before the scheduled date is not possible. The full agreed price will be charged for the order.

Clause 8: The publisher reserves the right to reject advertising orders—including individual requests within a contract—due to their content, origin, or technical format, based on uniform, objectively justified principles of the publisher, if their content violates laws or regulatory requirements or if their publication is unreasonable for the publisher. This also applies to orders placed at business offices, acceptance points, or representatives.

Clause 9: The client is responsible for the timely delivery of advertisement text and flawless digital materials (e.g., images, videos, PDF files). The publisher will promptly request replacements for clearly unsuitable or damaged materials. The publisher guarantees a reproduction quality appropriate to the respective medium (website, program information, or TechTalk) within the limits of the materials provided. The client is liable for any damages incurred by the publisher due to the late submission of materials.

Clause 10: The client is entitled to a price reduction or a flawless replacement advertisement in the event of wholly or partially illegible, incorrect, or incomplete execution of the advertisement, but only to the extent that the purpose of the advertisement is impaired. If the publisher allows a reasonable deadline set for this purpose to lapse or if the replacement advertisement is again not flawless, the client has the right to a price reduction. Claims for damages arising from positive breach of obligation, fault at the conclusion of the contract, and tort are excluded; claims for damages due to the impossibility of performance and delay are limited to foreseeable damages and to the remuneration to be paid for the relevant advertisement. This does not apply in cases of intent or gross negligence on the part of the publisher, its legal representatives, or vicarious agents. Complaints must be made within four weeks of receipt of the invoice and proof unless the defects are not obvious.

Clause 11: If advertising materials are transmitted digitally by the client, the publisher is not liable for wholly or partially illegible, incorrect, or incomplete reproductions.

Clause 12: The publisher assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the quantities or qualities of materials (e.g., videos or PDF files) provided by the client.

Clause 13: The publisher assumes that the image and copyright of data received from the client rest with the client or their company unless otherwise specified. The publisher is not liable for any legal infringements.

Clause 14: Proofs will only be provided upon explicit request. The client is responsible for the accuracy of the returned proofs. The publisher will consider all error corrections communicated within the deadline set when the proof is sent.

Clause 15: If the client does not make an advance payment, the invoice will be sent immediately, but no later than 14 days after the advertisement’s publication. The invoice must be paid within the period stated in the price list, starting from the receipt of the invoice, unless a different payment deadline or advance payment has been agreed upon in individual cases. Discounts for early payment will be granted as per the price list.

Clause 16: In the event of late payment or deferral, interest and collection costs will be charged. The publisher may suspend further execution of the current order until payment is made and may demand advance payment for the remaining advertisements. If there are justified doubts about the client’s solvency, the publisher is entitled, even during the term of an advertising contract, to make the publication of further advertisements dependent on advance payment and the settlement of outstanding invoice amounts, irrespective of any originally agreed payment terms.

Clause 17: Upon request, the publisher provides proof of advertisement placement with the invoice. Depending on the type and scope of the advertising order, digital proofs (screenshots, PDF files) will be provided. If a proof can no longer be obtained, a legally binding certification from the publisher regarding the publication and dissemination of the advertisement will replace it.

Clause 18: Advertising agents and agencies are obligated to adhere to the publisher’s price list in their offers, contracts, and billing with advertisers. The brokerage fee granted by the publisher may not be passed on to the client in whole or in part.

Clause 19: The place of performance and jurisdiction is the location of the publisher’s headquarters. If the publisher’s claims are not asserted in dunning proceedings, the place of jurisdiction for non-traders is determined by their residence. If the residence or habitual residence of the client is unknown at the time of filing the suit or if the client has moved their residence or habitual residence outside the scope of the law after the conclusion of the contract, the publisher’s headquarters will serve as the agreed place of jurisdiction.

Clause 20: The validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected by the partial or complete invalidity of individual clauses.

Clause 21: Advertising intermediaries and advertising agencies are obliged to adhere to the Publisher’s price list in their offers, contracts and invoices with advertisers. The intermediary fee granted by the publisher may not be passed on to the customer, either in whole or in part.

Clause 22: If individual provisions are partially or wholly invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Unwirksamkeit einzelner Bestimmungen bleibt die Gültigkeit der übrigen Bestimmungen unberührt.
