All offers of the agency are non-binding. The client commissions the agency for the services specified in the offer. The offer, together with these GTCs, forms the framework for a contract with the client.

The Agency may use subcontractors for the provision of services while maintaining confidentiality.
The agency shall charge commissioned additional services at an hourly rate of CHF 190.

The agency does not guarantee any third-party services, in particular ranking positions with search engines.
The Agency shall be liable for direct damage arising from intentional or grossly negligent breach of its obligations under this agreement. In all other cases the Agency shall not be liable.
If any provision of these GTCs becomes invalid, the other provisions shall not be affected thereby.
