Work beyond normal working hours will entail an additional charge or may be agreed separately. 6.4 The Customer is not entitled to offset claims unless the counterclaim is undisputed or has been legally established. The Customer is only entitled to withhold payment to the extent that the right of retention is based on the same contractual relationship. In the event of payment default, interest for late payment shall be applicable in accordance with general principles of national civil law relating to late payment. In addition to default interest, a contractual penalty may be imposed, unless the Customer is not responsible for the breach. If the Customer is in default of payment of a recurring fee, the contractual penalty amounts to one quarter of the fee due. This contractual penalty is incurred at the beginning of each additional billing period during which the Customer is in default. If the Customer is in default with the payment of an additional, one-time fee, a contractual penalty amounting to one quarter of the due fee shall accrue monthly starting from the onset of default.

Material breach 10.1 The Agreement can be terminated by either party for good cause – without observing a notice period – within a reasonable period of time from the time the reason for termination becomes known. An important reason exists if, considering all the circumstances of the individual case, in particular the fault of the contractual parties, and weighing the interests of both parties, the terminating party cannot reasonably be expected to continue the Contractual Relationship until the expiry of the notice period or until the Contractual Relationship is otherwise terminated. If the good cause consists of the breach of a material contractual obligation, termination shall only be admissible after written notification and description of the breach and the unsuccessful expiry of a 30-day remedy period. 10.2 There is also good cause for termination if the Customer (i) is in default of payment of the fee or a significant portion of the fee for two consecutive dates or (ii) is in default of payment of the fee in an amount equal to the fee for two months in a period extending over more than two dates. In this case, Costa Blanca Handyman reserves the right to suspend or block the Service.

The Customer’s breach of this condition shall be deemed to be a material breach. 10.4 In the event of termination pursuant to item 10.1, the Customer will be obliged to discontinue the Service without undue delay and within one month after the termination of the Contractual Relationship. In the case of termination for cause attributable to the Customer, Costa Blanca Handyman shall be put in the economic position it would have been in had the contract been properly fulfilled without termination. This includes compensation for fees that would have been incurred had the contract continued until the earliest point the Customer could have initially terminated the contract ordinarily. However, the Customer retains the right to prove that no such damage has occurred to Costa Blanca Handyman or that the damage is significantly lower. 11. Limitation of liability 11.1 Costa BlancaHandyman’s liability is excluded unless a case under clauses 11.2 and/or 11.3 applies. In particular, Costa Blanca Handyman is not liable for defects existing at the time of contract conclusion, insofar as no case under 11.2 and/or 11.3 applies. Except for the application of clauses 11.2 and/or 11.3, Costa Blanca Handyman has no liability if the Service is put out of service, or errors or losses are suffered by the Customer through external influence, including errors or damage resulting from circumstances on the Customer’s part, other software or the interaction between Costa Blanca Handyman’s Services and the Customer’s own software/hardware, suppliers, other network operators or subcontractors (including crashes or operational disruptions on the internet), or losses resulting from a breach or the coming to an end of agreements with third-parties. For example, Costa Blanca Handyman is not responsible if the Customer uses the Service in violation of instructions or guidance from Costa Blanca Handyman, or for a purpose that is not compatible with the purpose of the Service. 11.2 Costa Blanca Handyman has unlimited liability • in cases of intent or gross negligence, • for injury to life, body, or health, • in other cases where liability is mandatory by law. 11.3 In the event of a simple negligent breach of a duty, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal duty), Costa Blanca Handyman’s liability is limited to the amount of damage foreseeable and typical for the type of business in question. 11.4 The limitations of liability also apply in favour of any statutory representatives, senior executives, and vicarious agents of Costa Blanca Handyman who may be involved. 11.5 Costa Blanca Handyman may without any liability temporarily suspend the Service at any time if this is necessary to service, inspect or repair its systems, regardless of any other provisions in the Contractual Documents between Costa Blanca Handyman and the Customer. Such service or similar shall be carried out as quickly as practicable. 11.6 If Costa Blanca Handyman cannot contact the Customer using the Customer’s stated address or telephone number, Costa Blanca Handyman cannot be held responsible for any consequences resulting from their inability to contact the Customer. 11.7 Costa Blanca Handyman is not responsible for downtime if this is due to errors on mobile devices, infrastructure (server/databases), third-party integrations/connections, lack of or inadequate backup, virus attacks, or other circumstances beyond the control of Costa Blanca Handyman. Handyman will charge the Customer for all work performed because of such errors. 11.8 The Customer is not entitled to reduce payment in the event of defects, unless the claim for reduction is undisputed or legally established. Any existing right to reclaim overpaid fees under the provisions of unjust enrichment remains unaffected. 11.9 Costa Blanca Handyman’s liability under this Agreement shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the fees paid by the customer for the Services during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or NOK 2,000,000, whichever is lower. 12.

Any change may generally occur no earlier than 3 months after the conclusion of the Agreement or after the last fee change. A change may only be made if the costs for providing Costa Blanca Handyman’s contractual services change, among other things, due to altered labour, material, subcontractor, or other costs or fees, or due to other market changes, due to legal requirements and currency fluctuations. Costa Blanca Handyman has the right to adjust the fee based on indexation. Such adjustment must not alter the original ratio of performance to consideration that existed at the time of the conclusion of this Agreement. The increase must be reasonable and not contrary to the market trend relevant to the service. If the licensor does not state any other reasons for a price change, it shall be made in accordance with the development of the consumer price index of the Federal Statistical Office calculated from the last price adjustment or, if no price adjustment has yet been made, from the conclusion of the contract. In the event of an increase of more than 10%, the licensee is entitled to terminate the contract with a notice period of 2 months to the effective date of the increase.” 12.2 Costa Blanca Handyman reserves the right to make changes to these General Terms and Conditions with a notice period of six weeks prior to the change, provided that such changes are objectively justified. A change is considered objectively justified in the event of changes in legislation, significant changes in market conditions including technical developments, requirements due to security or comparable circumstances that were not foreseeable at the time the Agreement was concluded. Changes that alter the balance of performance and consideration existing at the time of contract conclusion are excluded. Such changes require the express consent of the Customer. Costa Blanca Handyman will notify the Customer of the respective change in writing or by email.

The parties shall ensure that employees, subcontractors and third-parties adhere to confidentiality requirements, including after any departure, on matters as mentioned above. The duty of confidentiality ends five years after the termination of the Contractual Relationship. The duty of confidentiality does not prevent information from being disclosed if this is required by applicable law or regulations.
