B2B Scope and Hierarchy of Contractual Documents

These General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively to business entities as defined in Section 14(1) of the German Civil Code (BGB), in particular to companies, freelancers, other self-employed individuals, and business operators, provided they are acting in the course of their commercial or self-employed professional activities at the time the contract is concluded, as well as to legal entities under public law and special funds under public law. Consumers as defined in § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB) are expressly excluded; these General Terms and Conditions do not confer any consumer rights and do not apply to recruitment services provided to consumers.

These Terms and Conditions apply to website inquiries, quotes, recruitment and candidate referrals, the coordination of temporary work or temporary staffing, the placement of subcontractors, outsourcing support, and related organizational or administrative services, unless otherwise specified in a signed individual agreement.

A signed individual agreement, an accepted offer, an order confirmation, a temporary employment contract, a contract for work and services, or a subcontracting agreement shall take precedence over these General Terms and Conditions with respect to the same subject matter. Mandatory law shall always take precedence. The client’s general terms and conditions shall apply only if the company has expressly agreed to them in writing.

Candidate profiles, website descriptions, and interviews are provided for informational purposes only. They do not, by themselves, constitute a contract or a binding commitment that a specific person, team, price, start date, approval, or project outcome will be available or achievable.

Conclusion of Contracts and Authority to Act on Behalf of the Company

An inquiry made via the website or by phone is non-binding. A contract is formed when the Company expressly accepts an order in writing, the Client accepts an offer from the Company in the manner specified therein, or the Company begins performing the requested service with the Client’s knowledge and consent. Electronic signatures and an unambiguous declaration of acceptance via email are permissible to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Material amendments to the contract, guarantees, waivers of compensation, or extensions of liability may be agreed to exclusively by the company’s managing director or another person who can demonstrate the authority to act on the company’s behalf. Statements made by an applicant, an employee, a partner company, or an unauthorized intermediary are not binding on the company.

Definitions

• The client is the company or public-law entity that, through the company, requests, receives, interviews, hires, contracts, deploys, or gains access to a candidate, an employee, a partner company, or a subcontractor.
• An applicant is any person who is proposed or presented for potential employment, secondment, temporary assignment, or other form of engagement.
• An employee is any person who, after an employment relationship has been established, is employed, assigned, seconded, deployed, or otherwise called upon to perform work.
• A partner company is a legally independent employer, licensed staffing agency, recruitment agency, subcontractor, or other service provider that can employ or supply workers or carry out a project.
• An individual agreement is an offer, an order, a statement of work, a recruitment contract, a temporary employment contract, a subcontract, a contract for work, or any other written agreement accepted by the parties.
• Documents include proof of identity, residency, employment, social security, posting, tax status, business registration, insurance, qualifications, permits, training, references, health, or other documentation relating to an applicant, an employee, or a partner company.

Legal Status and Role of the Company

The company searches its own networks and partner networks for individuals or companies that are likely to meet the criteria provided by the client. Depending on the individual agreement, the company may introduce candidates, coordinate communication, collect and forward information, provide assistance with forms, travel, or accommodations, and assist with the preparation of contracts or permits.

The specific legal role of the company must be clearly defined in the individual agreement. Unless the company is expressly designated therein as an employer, staffing agency, contractor, or regulated consultant, it acts solely as an intermediary and coordinator. An applicant’s employer, licensed staffing agency, or subcontractor may be a legally independent partner company with its own contractual and legal obligations.

The Company is under no obligation to successfully fill every request or to ensure that an applicant or partner company accepts an assignment. Furthermore, the Company does not guarantee adherence to a specified start date or a specific minimum assignment duration. Availability and scheduling may depend, in particular, on third parties, government agencies, permits, travel conditions, and changes in the legal situation.

Overview of Responsibilities

This overview should always be read in conjunction with the detailed provisions set forth below.

Description of Requirements and the Client’s Obligations to Cooperate

The client must provide all information necessary for the search and assignment in a complete, accurate, and timely manner. This includes, at a minimum, the position’s function, responsibilities, work location, industry, required professional experience, licenses or status as a regulated profession, language proficiency, working hours and shifts, duration of assignment, compensation or project budget, collective bargaining or company-specific requirements, safety risks, physical requirements, tools and protective equipment, travel or accommodation needs, as well as all legally permissible selection criteria.

The client must immediately correct any changed or inaccurate information and designate a responsible contact person who can make decisions and provide information regarding the work site. The company may rely on the information provided by the client unless it is obviously inaccurate.

The client may not require or use any discriminatory, unlawful, or irrelevant selection criteria. The client bears sole responsibility for the legality of any interviews, tests, background checks, medical examinations, and automated decision-making processes that it conducts or arranges.

Delays, additional costs, or unsuitable proposals resulting from incomplete, incorrect, or late information provided by the client do not constitute a breach of duty on the part of the company. Agreed-upon additional services may be billed separately upon prior notice.

Applicant Information and Review of Documents

Applicant profiles, resumes, references, and documents are regularly provided by applicants, partner companies, government agencies, or other third parties. Unless the individual agreement expressly provides for a specific verification service, the company may review these materials solely for apparent completeness, internal consistency, and plausibility, and may forward them in the condition in which they were received.

A completeness or plausibility check does not constitute a verification of authenticity, an official certification, the recognition of a foreign qualification, legal advice, an official approval, or a guarantee. The company makes no warranty that third-party documents are genuine, up-to-date, unaltered, accurately translated, legally sufficient, applicable to the intended activity, or substantiated by the claimed professional experience.

The Company is not obligated to contact any issuing authority, educational institution, former employer, insurer, social security agency, or public registry, unless the relevant verification is expressly listed in the individual agreement. If the Company becomes aware of material discrepancies, suspected forgery, or the expiration of a validity period, it shall notify the client immediately and is entitled to suspend the placement or assignment.

The Client acknowledges that a thorough document review may require original documents, protected registries, official certifications, certified translations, professional recognition procedures, or specialized legal advice, which the Company is neither authorized nor actually capable of providing.

The Client’s Independent Audit Responsibilities

Before submitting an offer, entering into an assignment or contractual relationship, granting access to the assignment site, paying for services, or approving an assignment—as well as again upon any possible change in validity—the client must independently verify all circumstances relevant to a lawful and safe assignment. This obligation is not fulfilled merely because the company or a partner company has provided a copy or has designated the document as being recognizably complete.

The client’s review must be appropriate to the specific activity and the applicable legal situation and—where relevant—must include, in particular, the following:

• Identity and consistency between the individual, photograph, name, personal information, and original identification documents;
• Authorization to enter, reside, work, be seconded, be assigned, or provide services as a self-employed individual in the respective country, including all restrictions specified in the permits;
• A1 certificate, as well as documentation regarding social security, posting, customs, minimum wage, taxes, business or company registration, and insurance coverage;
• The existence, status, and legal authority to represent or act on behalf of a partner company that employs, provides temporary workers, or acts as a subcontractor, as well as any permits required for the provision of temporary workers;
• Education, vocational and professional qualifications, permits, professional recognition, protected professional titles, safety training, equipment certifications, and other activity-specific authorizations;
• References, employment history, language skills, practical skills, reliability, and suitability for the specific tasks, equipment, and working conditions of the client;
• medical fitness, criminal history information, or security screenings only to the extent that such information is lawful, necessary, and supported by a sound legal basis; and
• Continued validity of all time-limited documents throughout the entire duration of the assignment.

The client must, where appropriate, consult original documents, official registries, competent authorities, issuing agencies, qualified consultants, interviews, and practical examinations. The client may not employ a person as long as a required review is incomplete, a document has expired or is contradictory, or the person’s legal eligibility for employment remains unclear.

The client is responsible for retaining the necessary documentation and copies for the periods required by law, as well as for protecting the data of applicants and employees. The client must immediately notify the company of any suspected fraud, inquiries from authorities, incidents, failed audits, or the loss of any prerequisite for employment.

Final Selection, Qualification, and Performance

The company identifies potentially suitable individuals or companies; the final decision regarding hiring, contracting, and assignment rests solely with the client. Since only the client can make a definitive assessment of the actual workplace, equipment, risks, team, supervision, and required performance standards, the client must conduct the necessary interviews, legally permissible tests, reference checks, and practical aptitude assessments on its own.

Qualifications, work experience, and past performance do not guarantee future performance. Subject to any replacement, re-staffing, or credit provisions expressly agreed upon in writing, the Company makes no guarantee regarding productivity, conduct, attendance, continued employment, language proficiency, suitability for a specific purpose, or the achievement of the Client’s project objectives.

The client must report any material deviation immediately, providing objectively verifiable facts. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to find an appropriate solution. However, a claim for compensation, refund, or credit shall exist only to the extent that this is expressly provided for in the individual agreement or is required by law.

Recruitment and Direct Hiring

In the case of a staffing placement, the employment, service, or other assignment contract is concluded directly between the client—or a disclosed affiliated company—and the applicant. The client bears sole responsibility for the job offer, contract terms, compensation, payroll, taxes, social security, compliance with residence and employment laws, orientation, supervision, working hours, vacation, equal treatment, termination of employment, and all other employer obligations.

The Company shall not be a party to the employment relationship, unless the individual agreement expressly provides otherwise. Information regarding salary, availability, recognition, immigration, or employment conditions is provided for general informational purposes only and must be independently verified by the client through qualified advisors or the relevant authorities.

Temporary Work and Labor Leasing

If workers are assigned under a temporary staffing arrangement, the licensed staffing agency and the client must enter into the legally required temporary staffing agreement before the worker begins work and must accurately specify the assignment and the specific worker. The staffing agency remains responsible for its employer obligations; the client remains responsible for its obligations at the work site. Neither party may invoke these General Terms and Conditions to circumvent mandatory legal obligations.

Unless the company is expressly designated as a licensed staffing agency in the individual agreement, its activities are limited to introducing and coordinating with the partner company that employs and provides the worker. Prior to the start of the assignment, the client must independently verify the identity and legal form of this company, the relevant temporary staffing license, its scope and validity, as well as the complete contractual documentation.

The client must comply, in particular, with applicable maximum assignment periods, equal opportunity and equal pay requirements, records of working hours, the works council’s co-determination rights, industry restrictions, access requirements, and occupational safety and health obligations. The Client shall provide the staffing agency and the company with all necessary information in a complete and accurate manner.

Subcontractors and Contracts for Work and Services

When subcontractors are engaged, the subcontractor or prime contractor remains a legally and economically independent entity and is solely responsible for its employees, its organization, and the work or services contractually owed, unless a specific contract provides for a different allocation of responsibilities. The client must independently verify the company’s registration, authority to represent the company, insurance coverage, tax and social security status, posting documentation, compliance with the minimum wage, permits, qualifications, and the legal structure of the proposed model.

The parties must carry out the contractual relationship in accordance with its actual legal classification. The client may not exercise any authority under labor law or personnel control over a subcontractor’s personnel that could result in a genuine contract for work or services being reclassified as a disguised temporary employment arrangement or an employment relationship. Instructions regarding the specification of the work to be performed, the coordination of the work site, or the assurance of safety are permitted only to the extent allowed by law and under the individual contract.

The Client is aware that, as a business owner or general contractor, it may be liable by law for minimum wage claims or other obligations of contractors and subcontractors. A private-law allocation of responsibilities does not preclude any claims granted by mandatory law to an employee, government agency, or any other third party.

Incident Command, Occupational Safety and Health

The client is in control of its facility and work processes and is responsible for ensuring that the work site is safe and compliant with the law. Before work begins, the client must conduct the necessary hazard assessments, provide clear instructions and training in a language the worker can understand, supply safe work equipment and the required personal protective equipment, designate qualified supervisors, coordinate emergency, accident, and first-aid procedures, and comply with working hours, access, and environmental regulations.

The client must treat temporary or seconded workers in accordance with applicable regulations regarding equal treatment, non-discrimination, and occupational safety. Working hours and performance must be accurately documented; incidents and concerns must be reported to the employer or partner company immediately. Illegal or unsafe activities may not be ordered or demanded.

The Company is entitled to suspend any placement, assignment, or coordination service if, based on a reasonable assessment, it has grounds to believe that the assignment, documentation, working conditions, or instructions are unlawful or unsafe. Such a suspension does not affect remuneration already earned or reasonable costs already incurred.

No legal, tax, immigration, or certification advice

Website posts, checklists, templates, translations, administrative support services, and notices are provided solely for general information and coordination purposes. They do not constitute legal, tax, immigration, social security, occupational safety, or professional certification advice. The applicable regulations vary by country, industry, occupation, and service model, and are subject to change at any time.

Clients, employers, staffing agencies, and subcontractors must independently seek expert advice and obtain the necessary certifications from the competent authorities. Only a competent authority or other legally authorized body may grant a license, recognize a qualification, confirm authorization to practice a regulated profession, or make a binding determination of legal compliance.

Compensation, Expenses, Taxes, and Payment

Compensation, circumstances giving rise to compensation, hourly rates, minimum fees, expenses, and any provisions regarding reimbursement, replacement, or credit notes are set forth in the individual agreement. Unless expressly stated otherwise therein, all compensation amounts are subject to statutory value-added tax and other applicable taxes.

If the compensation is based on a referral leading to subsequent employment, engagement, temporary assignment, or other contractual relationship, it is earned as soon as the client or an affiliated company or a company introduced by the client directly or indirectly employs, engages, or utilizes the services of the referred candidate or the referred partner company within twelve months of the last referral or the last material contact facilitated by the company.

Invoices are due for payment without any deductions within the period specified on the invoice or, if no period is specified, within fourteen calendar days of receipt. The client must promptly notify us of any specific objections to the invoice and pay the undisputed amount by the due date. Statutory default interest and reasonable legal costs remain unaffected.

The Client may set off or withhold payments only against undisputed, legally enforceable counterclaims or counterclaims arising from the same contractual relationship, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. Pre-approved travel, translation, certification, government agency, lodging, or other third-party costs may be billed in addition to the fee for services rendered.

Interviews, No-Hire Policy, and Candidate Information

Information about applicants and partner companies is confidential and is provided solely for the purpose of assessing the specific needs communicated. The client may not disclose profiles or documents—without the company’s prior written consent and without a valid legal basis under data protection law—either outside the group of decision-makers or to affiliated companies, customers, suppliers, or other recruitment agencies.

The Client may not structure an employment or contractual relationship through another person or company in order to circumvent an agreed-upon referral fee. If an eligible recipient or an affiliated company engages a referred candidate or a partner company, the client must notify the company immediately and remains obligated to pay the agreed-upon fee to the extent specified in the individual agreement.

This provision neither restricts the applicant’s freedom to choose a place of employment nor creates an obligation on the applicant to make any payment. It governs exclusively the business relationship between the company and the client acting as a business, independent professional, freelancer, other self-employed individual, or business operator (B2B).

Confidentiality

Each party shall treat as confidential all non-public commercial, technical, and pricing information, as well as information regarding applicants, employees, and partner companies, that comes to its attention in connection with an inquiry or service. Use or disclosure is permitted only to employees, career counselors, government agencies, and contractual partners who require the information for a specific purpose and are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

The confidentiality obligation does not apply to information that is publicly known without any breach of contract, was already lawfully known to the receiving party, was independently developed, or must be disclosed pursuant to law or an official order. To the extent permitted by law, the receiving party must notify the other party prior to any mandatory disclosure.

Use of Partners and Contract Transfer

The Company may engage appropriately selected partner companies and service providers to perform or support the agreed-upon service. The engagement of such partners does not relieve the Company of its own contractual obligations; however, the partner company remains responsible for its own independent obligations arising from its contract and applicable law.

The Client may not assign an individual agreement or a brokerage arrangement, nor may it transfer such an agreement or arrangement to another legal entity, without the Company’s prior written consent. This does not apply in the case of a genuine merger or the transfer of substantially all of the relevant business operations, provided that the legal successor assumes the Client’s obligations. The Client remains responsible for any brokerage fee triggered by an affiliated company or an authorized recipient.

Data protection

Each party shall act as an independent data controller with respect to the processing of personal data it has specified, unless a separate agreement regarding data processing on behalf of another party or joint controllership has been entered into. Each party must comply with applicable data protection laws, use data from applicants and employees exclusively for a lawful and specified purpose, restrict access, secure the data, comply with deletion and retention periods, and ensure the rights of data subjects.

The client may not store data on unsuccessful applicants for longer than is legally required, may not use such data for unrelated purposes, and may request special categories of personal data or criminal record information only when necessary and based on a valid legal basis. Additional information regarding the company’s processing of website and contact data is contained in its Privacy Policy.

Compliance with the Law, Fair Treatment, and Prohibited Conduct

Each party must fully comply with the regulations applicable to its respective role regarding the prevention of bribery and corruption, sanctions, money laundering, competition, equal treatment, employment, immigration, posting of workers, minimum wage, social security, taxes, occupational safety, and human rights.

In particular, the client is prohibited from imposing unlawful placement fees on workers, withholding passports or identity documents, threatening to take action that could affect their right to stay, to use forced or child labor, to engage in unlawful discrimination, to demand false documents, or to instruct the company, an applicant, a worker, or a partner company to conceal the actual form of the contract or employment arrangement.

The company is entitled to refuse or immediately suspend services in connection with suspected illegality, exploitation, unsafe conditions, risks of sanctions, forged documents, or misleading legal classifications, and to file the reports required by law.

Use, Content, and Availability of the Website

This website contains general information about the network and the company's services. The content is prepared with due care; however, it may become outdated and is not a substitute for an individual agreement, official information, or expert advice. Information regarding activities, countries, time periods, costs, and legal requirements is provided for illustrative purposes only, unless it has been confirmed in writing for a specific case.

Users are prohibited from any misuse of the website. In particular, the following are prohibited: transmitting false or unlawful information; interfering with security or operations; uploading harmful content; automatically extracting or copying data from databases; impersonation; and infringing intellectual property rights or personal rights.

The Company may maintain, modify, suspend, or discontinue any features of the website. The Company does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or permanently secure availability. Obligations expressly assumed in an individual agreement remain unaffected by this provision.

External links are provided solely as a service. Third-party providers are solely responsible for the content and services of the sites to which they link. The mere inclusion of a link does not establish the Company’s liability for third-party content; however, upon receiving specific notification of an illegal or harmful link, the Company will take appropriate action.

Intellectual Property

Website text, brand identity, graphics, layouts, checklists, and other content created by the Company are protected under applicable intellectual property laws. Business users may view this content and make reasonable internal copies for the purpose of reviewing or using the Company’s services. Publication, commercial reuse, modification, systematic extraction, or redistribution require prior written consent, unless expressly permitted by law.

The Client retains all rights to the materials it provides and grants the Company a non-exclusive right of use to the extent necessary to perform the requested services, to comply with legal obligations, or to defend against or enforce legal claims. The Client warrants that it is authorized to provide the materials and to transfer the rights thereto.

Liability

The Company is liable for the proper fulfillment of its own obligations under the Individual Agreement, as well as in all cases where liability may not be excluded or limited by law. In particular, liability remains unlimited for willful misconduct and gross negligence, for damages caused by fault resulting from injury to life, limb, or health, in cases of fraudulent concealment of a defect, based on an expressly assumed warranty, and in accordance with mandatory statutory liability provisions.

In the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation due to slight negligence—the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on which the client may reasonably rely—liability is limited to the damages typically foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded. In all other respects, liability for slight negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, the Company shall not be liable solely because an applicant, an employee, a partner company, a government agency, or any other third party has provided incorrect, incomplete, outdated, falsified, or misleading information, or has failed to perform its obligations. This disclaimer of liability does not apply if the Company was aware of a material fact or, within the scope of an expressly agreed review, should have recognized such a fact by exercising due diligence, and failed to act in breach of its duty.

In particular, the Company shall not be liable for the Client’s final selection decision, failure to perform required checks, unsafe or unlawful instructions, conditions at the work site, misuse of applicant data, unauthorized direct hires, or breaches of duty by the Client or its contractors. Contributory negligence and the client’s statutory duty to mitigate damages shall be taken into account in reducing the amount of the claim.

The foregoing limitations of liability apply mutatis mutandis to the benefit of the company’s managing directors, employees, representatives, and agents. Mandatory obligations and grounds for liability arising from the laws governing temporary employment, the posting of workers, immigration, the minimum wage, occupational safety and health, or other public law remain unaffected.

Exemption for Risks Controlled by the Client

To the extent permitted by law, the Client shall indemnify the Company against reasonable claims by third parties, government fees, penalties, and necessary legal or consulting fees arising from unlawful instructions from the Client, an unsafe work site, the misuse or unauthorized disclosure of personal data, the failure to conduct mandatory inspections, a concealed or misclassified contractual relationship, the non-payment of wages or other amounts legally owed by the Client, or any other material breach of these General Terms and Conditions or an individual agreement.

The indemnification shall not apply to the extent that the claim is based on a breach of duty, negligence, or intentional act on the part of the Company, or on any other circumstance for which the Company is strictly liable. The company must immediately inform the client of any claims asserted against it and, subject to statutory and contractual confidentiality obligations, allow the client to participate appropriately in the legal defense.

Force Majeure and Delays Caused by Third Parties

Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures to perform resulting from an event beyond its reasonable control. This includes, in particular, delays caused by government authorities, changes in the law, border or travel restrictions, epidemics, war, civil unrest, strikes not limited to the party’s own workforce, infrastructure or communication failures, natural disasters, and the unexpected unavailability of a candidate or partner company. This is subject to the condition that the affected party is notified immediately and takes all reasonable measures to mitigate the effects.

Deadlines affected by such an event shall be extended by a reasonable period of time. If the event substantially prevents the performance of services for more than thirty days, either party may terminate the affected portion of the services that has not yet been fulfilled in writing. Remuneration already earned and approved, non-reimbursable expenses remain payable.

Suspension and Termination of the Contract

The term of the contract and the rights to terminate for cause are set forth in the individual agreement. Either party may terminate the contract due to a material breach of obligation if the breach is not remedied within a reasonable period of time despite a written request to do so. No notice period is required if the breach cannot be remedied or if immediate termination is justified for good cause.

The Company is entitled to immediately suspend or terminate the contract for cause if, based on a reasonable assessment, it has grounds to believe that continued performance would be unlawful, unsafe, or exploitative; if a required permit or authorization is lacking; if documents appear to be forged; there are risks of sanctions or bribery, the client seriously misuses personal data, or a material payment remains overdue despite a reminder.

Termination of the contract shall not affect any payment claims that have already arisen, confidentiality and data protection obligations, referral fees triggered under the individual agreement, liability provisions, or any provisions that, by their nature and purpose, remain in effect.

Changes to These Terms and Conditions

The Company is entitled to amend the version of these Terms and Conditions published on the website, effective for future inquiries and contracts, to the extent necessary due to legal, regulatory, technical, or service-related changes. The amended version is effective as of the specified effective date. Existing individual agreements will only be amended as a result of this if the parties agree to do so or if mandatory law requires the amendment.

Notices and Electronic Communication

Operational communications may be sent to the most recent email address or contact person designated by the other party. Notices of termination, reports of material breaches of duty, liability claims, and other legally significant statements must be transmitted—unless the individual agreement requires a more formal method—by email with a confirmation of receipt or by a method of delivery that provides proof of receipt.

The Client must keep its contact and billing information up to date at all times. Email communication is subject to standard transmission risks; each party must maintain appropriate security measures and immediately report any suspected security breaches that affect the contractual relationship.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The law specified in the individual agreement and the venue validly agreed upon therein shall apply. In the absence of a valid choice of law or venue agreement, the applicable law and international or local jurisdiction shall be determined in accordance with the relevant statutory conflict-of-laws and procedural provisions. Mandatory provisions at the place of work or assignment remain unaffected, regardless of the otherwise applicable contract law.

Severability Clause and Waiver

Should any provision of these Terms and Conditions be wholly or partially invalid, impracticable, or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced exclusively by the applicable statutory provision, to the extent and in the manner provided for by applicable law. A reduction intended to preserve validity—by which an otherwise invalid clause would be limited to a permissible content—is excluded.

The delayed or failure to exercise a right does not constitute a waiver. A waiver of a right is effective only with respect to the specific set of facts for which it was expressly declared.
