a) the client is in default with its (performance and cooperation) obligations (in particular default in payment and default in the provision of documents, data, and/or information) and does not fulfill these obligations in accordance with the contract despite a reminder and the setting or granting of a reasonable grace period;

In the absence of an express agreement, a reasonable fee shall be payable. The fee charged by The 2025 Club is exclusive of the applicable statutory value added tax and is therefore a net amount.
6.2. Cost estimates provided by The 2025 Club are non-binding and are subject to a fee, unless otherwise agreed in writing in individual cases. If The 2025 Club is commissioned to provide all services included in the respective cost estimate, the fee for the cost estimate will be credited to the relevant invoice.

If an hourly fee has been agreed, the fee claim arises pro rata to the duration of the services provided. If a contingency fee has been agreed, the fee shall be payable upon achievement or occurrence of the defined successful outcome, regardless of whether The 2025 Club has provided the agreed services. If the contract with The 2025 Club has been terminated by the client (for whatever reason) before The 2025 Club has acquired a claim to the success fee and the defined success result (or a similar event with similar economic content) then occurs within 2 (two) years, The 2025 Club shall be entitled to the entire success fee.

All cash expenses, expenses, travel costs, etc. incurred by The 2025 Club for the provision of services in accordance with the agreement shall also be invoiced separately.
6.7. In the event of default in payment and after the unsuccessful expiry of a grace period of at least 7 (seven) days set for the client by means of a payment reminder/demand for payment, The 2025 Club shall be entitled to temporarily suspend all services until full payment of all fees due (including statutory default interest and operating costs). Notwithstanding this right, The 2025 Club is entitled to withdraw from the contract for good cause (see point 5.2.). In the event of default in payment of a partial or installment payment, the deadline shall be deemed to have been missed and the entire outstanding claim shall become due for payment immediately until the end of the agreed contract term.
6.8. Any objections to fees must be made in writing to The 2025 Club within 10 (ten) days of receipt of the invoice. Failure to raise objections within this period shall be deemed acceptance of the fee.
6.9. In the event of a complaint about the services provided by The 2025 Club, the client is not entitled – except in the case of obvious, significant defects – to withhold (even partially) any fees, other remuneration, reimbursement of costs, and advances (remuneration) owed to The 2025 Club.

Warranty / liability
10.1. The 2025 Club is not liable for any success (of any kind).
10.2. Claims for damages against The 2025 Club are excluded in cases of slight and gross negligence, with the exception of personal injury. The 2025 Club is therefore only liable for personal injury in cases of intent or gross negligence.
10.3. The 2025 Club shall not be liable for mere (pure) financial losses, consequential damages, immaterial and indirect (indirect) damages, damages arising from third-party claims, lost profits, or in cases of accidents and force majeure. The 2025 Club is also not liable for damage caused by persons for whom it is not liable under mandatory legal provisions. Insofar as the liability of The 2025 Club is not excluded anyway, the client bears the burden of proof for the existence of fault on the part of The 2025 Club and the persons attributable to it, and the liability of The 2025 Club is limited to the amount of the order, but limited to a maximum of the liability insurance sum available for the specific case.

10.6. Any liability of The 2025 Club towards persons other than the client is expressly excluded. If documents are passed on by The 2025 Club to third parties with their consent, this does not establish any liability on the part of The 2025 Club towards the third party. If, in exceptional cases, The 2025 Club is liable to a third party, the exclusions and limitations of liability agreed in this section 10 shall apply not only in the relationship between The 2025 Club and the client, but also in relation to the third party. Should a third party assert claims for damages against The 2025 Club (for whatever legal reason), the client shall hold The 2025 Club completely harmless and indemnify it against any claims.
