The Customer declares that it is aware of the risks associated with the use of unencrypted electronic communication (in particular access, confidentiality, alteration of messages in the course of transmission).

• due to a change in laws, case law or other regulations or
• due to a change in other circumstances (including changes in the ownership structure of company or affiliated companies) a continuation of the JTM digital assignment would be unlawful, in particular if the continuation of the assignment would be contrary to independence regulations or professional principles.

The customer shall reimburse JTM digital for the services rendered and expenses incurred up to the expiry of the contractual relationship and shall compensate JTM digital for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the termination.

JTM digital shall only be liable for the contractual result to the extent agreed below and in no case for interim reports including e-mails and other communication transmitted during the project period.

Furthermore, JTM digital's liability shall be limited to the amount of the order, but to a maximum of EUR 100,000. A single case of damage is to be understood as the sum of the claims for damages of all claimants resulting from a uniform service. JTM digital shall also only be liable for damages incurred within the scope of several similar, uniform services due to several breaches based on the same professional error up to the order amount or up to a maximum of EUR 100,000.

If, in the opinion of the Customer, the possible volume of damage exceeds the aforementioned amount, JTM digital shall, at the request of the Customer, attempt to take out supplementary insurance to the existing liability insurance to cover this risk, provided that the Customer pays the insurance premium incurred for this.

Any claims for damages must be asserted in court within three months of becoming aware of the damage, but no later than three years after the event giving rise to the claim, otherwise they shall be excluded

Any liability of JTM digital towards persons other than the Customer is expressly excluded. If documents are passed on to third parties by JTM digital with their consent, this shall not give rise to any liability on the part of JTM digital towards the third party. Should JTM digital be liable to a third party in exceptional cases, the above limitations of liability shall apply not only in the relationship between JTM digital and the customer, but also to the third party. In any case of assertion of claims for damages by a third party against JTM digital, the customer shall fully indemnify and hold JTM digital harmless.

During the term of this contract and for a further period of six months after completion of the contractually agreed services, the customer is prohibited from employing employees of JTM digital who were involved in the fulfillment of the contract.

JTM digital is entitled to transfer rights and obligations arising from this contract to a subsidiary or affiliated company with debt-discharging effect without the separate consent of the Customer.
