General terms and conditions of business

Unless the text form is prescribed for the conclusion of the brokerage contract pursuant to Section 656a BGB, a brokerage contract is concluded between RIEDEL Immobilien GmbH or RIEDEL Vermittlungs GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Broker") and the interested party (hereinafter referred to as "Client") with the use of our offers, in particular the establishment of contact in this regard. The following general terms and conditions apply to the contractual relationship:

1. broker's commission
Upon conclusion of a notarized purchase agreement, the client shall owe the broker a broker's commission from the total economic purchase price for the proof or brokerage. If the estate agent acts for both parties to the purchase contract and the buyer is a consumer, the buyer and seller owe the same amount of commission, § 656 c BGB. The conclusion of a purchase contract is equivalent to any other acquisition of the economically intended property, e.g. knockdown at auction, acquisition of a company share, etc. As a rule, the estate agent is also liable to pay commission to the seller. In the case of rental transactions, the broker only charges commission to the landlord.

2. offers
All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The property-related details are based on information provided to the broker by the seller/landlord. The estate agent does not adopt this information from the seller/landlord as his own and cannot accept any liability for its accuracy and completeness.

3. prior knowledge
If the broker provides evidence of a property that is already known to the customer, the customer is obliged to inform the broker of this in writing without delay and, at the broker's request, to provide evidence of the prior knowledge by means of documents.

4. prohibition of disclosure
All information provided by the broker about the property in the course of his activities is intended exclusively for the customer and may not be disclosed to third parties. If the customer violates this prohibition on disclosure and the third party or another person to whom the third party has passed on the information concludes the main contract, the customer shall owe damages in the amount of the broker's commission plus 19% VAT.

5. liability
The broker's liability is limited to the amount covered by the existing liability insurance (for personal injury and property damage € 10.0 million, for financial losses € 1.1 million). In the event of a slightly negligent breach of duty, the broker's liability is also limited to the amount of foreseeable and typical damages.
Excluded from the aforementioned limitations of liability are claims based on a grossly negligent or intentional breach of duty or injury to life, limb, freedom or health.

6 Offsetting of claims
The customer may only offset against the broker's commission claim with legally established or undisputed claims. The customer may only exercise a right of retention insofar as it is based on the same contractual relationship.

7 Data protection
The customer agrees that the broker may collect, process and use data arising from this contract or the execution of the contract and transmit such data to third parties to the extent necessary.

8. copyrights and ancillary copyrights

9. severability clause/written form
If individual provisions are ineffective, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected and shall be replaced by effective provisions with the same or similar regulatory content. Amendments and supplements to the brokerage agreement or this written form clause must be made in writing.
