of Lederervision – Andreas Lederer

1. Scope of Application 1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all contracts between Lederervision, owner Andreas Lederer, Reichshofstraße 4, 6841 Mäder, Austria (hereinafter the “Contractor”) and its customers (hereinafter the “Client”) for the creation of image and video content, in particular AI-generated marketing and advertising content. 1.2 Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of the Client shall only become part of the contract if the Contractor expressly agrees to their applicability in writing. 1.3 Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the Contractor’s offer is aimed exclusively at entrepreneurs within the meaning of the applicable statutory provisions (B2B). If, in exceptional cases, a contract is concluded with a consumer, these GTC shall apply insofar as they do not conflict with mandatory consumer protection provisions.

2. Subject Matter of the Contract and Scope of Services 2.1 The Contractor provides services in the field of creation of image and video content, in particular using artificial intelligence (AI), e.g.: - Product and advertising videos - Social media clips - Image and graphic generation - Adaptation, editing and post-production of material provided by the Client 2.2 The specific scope of services (type and number of videos/images, formats, duration, languages, platforms, etc.) results from the respective offer or order confirmation. 2.3 Services that are not expressly agreed in the offer (e.g. additional versions, alternative cuts, extensive revisions, subsequent concept changes) are deemed additional services and will be remunerated separately on a time and material basis or according to a supplementary offer. 2.4 The Contractor owes the performance of services and a work result in line with the offer, but not any specific economic success (e.g. reach, increase in sales, conversion rate).

3. Conclusion of Contract 3.1 The presentation of services on the website, in brochures or on social media does not constitute a binding offer, but a non-binding invitation to submit an inquiry. 3.2 A contract is concluded by: - written or electronic acceptance of an offer of the Contractor by the Client (e.g. by e-mail), or - written order confirmation by the Contractor, or - implied acceptance by commencement of performance of services by the Contractor after prior agreement. 3.3 Changes or additions to the order require confirmation by the Contractor and may result in additional costs.

4. Duties of Cooperation of the Client 4.1 The Client shall provide the Contractor with all information and materials required for the execution of the project in good time, completely and in an appropriate format, in particular: - Logos, images, videos, graphics - Texts, scripts, briefings - CI specifications (colors, fonts, style) - where applicable, information on platforms (e.g. Instagram, TikTok, website) 4.2 The Client confirms that it holds all rights required (in particular copyright, trademark and personality rights) to the materials provided and that their use by the Contractor does not infringe any third-party rights. 4.3 The Client is responsible for obtaining all necessary consents from the persons concerned (e.g. employees, models, customers) for image, audio and video recordings and their use. 4.4 If the Client delays the required cooperation (e.g. delayed approvals, missing content), agreed deadlines may be postponed accordingly. In such case, the Contractor is entitled to invoice additional effort.

5. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) 5.1 The Client acknowledges that the Contractor uses AI-based tools and services in whole or in part for the creation of content (e.g. for avatars, images, animations, text or speech generation). 5.2 Despite careful selection and use of AI tools, the Contractor cannot guarantee that: - the generated content is free of errors or inaccuracies, - there are no similarities with existing works or third-party trademarks, - all legal requirements in the Client’s specific context of use are fulfilled (e.g. labelling obligations, advertising law, platform policies). 5.3 The legal review of the generated content and its use (e.g. with regard to copyright, trademark law, competition law, data protection, personality rights, labelling of AI-generated content) is the responsibility of the Client. The Contractor does not provide legal advice. 5.4 Where the Contractor uses third-party content (e.g. stock material, music, fonts) in the course of its services, it assures that appropriate licences for the agreed use are obtained. Any further use by the Client outside the agreed scope may require additional licences and is at the Client’s own responsibility.

6. Remuneration and Payment Terms 6.1 The agreed remuneration stated in the offer shall apply. All prices are exclusive of statutory VAT, unless expressly stated otherwise. 6.2 The Contractor is entitled to request advance payments or instalments, in particular for larger projects. 6.3 Unless otherwise specified in the offer, invoices are due and payable without deduction within 14 days from the invoice date. 6.4 Payments shall be made by bank transfer to the account specified by the Contractor. 6.5 In the event of default in payment, the Contractor is entitled to: - claim default interest at the statutory rate, and - withhold further services until full payment has been made (including the handover of final files). 6.6 All prices refer – unless otherwise agreed – to defined service packages. Additional work exceeding the agreed scope (e.g. extensive changes after acceptance, additional versions, new formats or channels) will be charged separately by agreement or on a time and material basis.

7. Deadlines and Delivery Dates 7.1 Indications of deadlines and delivery dates are generally non-binding unless they have been expressly confirmed in writing as binding. 7.2 Delays due to force majeure or other events beyond the Contractor’s control (e.g. failure of platforms or third-party tools, power or internet outages, illness, delays on the Client’s side) shall reasonably extend agreed deadlines. 7.3 If the Client fails to fulfil its duties of cooperation, or does so late, deadlines shall also be extended accordingly. The Contractor may charge the resulting additional costs separately.

8. Acceptance and Change Requests 8.1 The Contractor shall submit drafts or versions to the Client for review (e.g. video draft, preview link). 8.2 The Client shall review the services without undue delay, at the latest within 5 business days after receipt, and notify any defects or change requests. If no justified objection is made within this period, the service shall be deemed accepted. 8.3 The offer usually includes a certain number of revision rounds. Changes exceeding this scope will be charged separately on a time and material basis or according to a supplementary offer. 8.4 Minor deviations from the agreed scope or from references (e.g. slight color, sound or image deviations, stylistic nuances) do not constitute a defect, provided that they do not materially impair the overall character and usability.

9. Rights of Use 9.1 Upon full payment of the agreed remuneration, the Contractor grants the Client the simple (non-exclusive) rights of use to the created content as described in the offer (e.g. use on website, social media channels, online advertising). 9.2 Unless expressly agreed otherwise in the offer, the transfer of rights is: - non-exclusive (the Contractor may provide similar services for other clients), - unlimited in time, - limited geographically to the agreed territory of use (as a rule worldwide), and - restricted to the agreed media/platforms. 9.3 Any further use (e.g. TV broadcasting, cinema advertising, large-scale out-of-home campaigns) requires a separate agreement and may be subject to additional remuneration. 9.4 Unless expressly agreed, the Client has no claim to the surrender of open project files (e.g. edit projects, layered files, raw footage). The Contractor shall deliver the final agreed end formats (e.g. MP4, PNG, JPG). 9.5 Where the Contractor uses stock material, music or third-party content, the licence conditions of the respective third-party providers shall apply. The Client is obliged to comply with these conditions and to use the content only within the scope of the granted rights of use.

10. References and Self-Promotion 10.1 The Contractor is entitled to use the content created within the project (or excerpts thereof) for reference purposes, in particular: - on its own website - on social media - in presentations and portfolios - in offer and sales documents 10.2 The Client may object to such use for important reasons. In this case, individual solutions will be agreed (e.g. anonymisation, temporal limitation). 10.3 Where permitted, the Contractor is entitled to name the Client as a reference customer (e.g. company name, logo).

11. Liability 11.1 The Contractor is liable for damages only in cases of intent and gross negligence. In cases of slight negligence, the Contractor is only liable for the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), whereby liability in such cases is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage. 11.2 Liability for loss of profit, indirect damages, consequential damages or pure economic losses (e.g. due to unattained marketing goals, account suspensions, deletion of content by platforms) is excluded to the extent permitted by law. 11.3 The Client shall indemnify and hold the Contractor harmless from all third-party claims arising from: - content provided by the Client (texts, images, videos, logos, music, etc.) that infringes third-party rights; or - the Client’s use of the content created by the Contractor in an unlawful context or in violation of statutory provisions or platform policies. 11.4 Notes and recommendations by the Contractor (e.g. regarding content design, platform use or labelling obligations) are provided without guarantee and do not constitute legal advice.

12. Cancellation and Termination 12.1 The Client may cancel an order at any time. In this case, the Contractor is entitled to: - remuneration for services already rendered and costs incurred, and - appropriate compensation for lost profit relating to the part of the order not yet performed, unless otherwise agreed in the individual case. 12.2 Payments already made shall be set off against the cancellation costs. A claim for reimbursement exists only insofar as the advance payments made exceed the Contractor’s claims for remuneration and expenses. 12.3 The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected.

13. Data Protection 13.1 The Contractor processes personal data of the Client exclusively in accordance with the statutory provisions (in particular GDPR, TKG). Details are set out in the privacy policy published on the website. 13.2 If the Contractor processes personal data on behalf of the Client in the course of providing services (e.g. image or video material with identifiable persons), the conclusion of a data processing agreement (DPA) may be required, in particular if the Client itself is a controller within the meaning of the GDPR.

14. Confidentiality 14.1 The Contractor shall treat all business and trade secrets of the Client that become known in the course of the cooperation as confidential and use them only for the execution of the respective project. 14.2 This does not apply to information that is generally known or becomes generally known without fault of the Contractor, or that the Contractor has lawfully received from third parties.

15. Applicable Law and Place of Jurisdiction 15.1 Austrian law shall apply, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and conflict-of-law rules. 15.2 If the Client is an entrepreneur, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the contractual relationship shall be the registered office of the Contractor (currently Vorarlberg), unless a mandatory statutory place of jurisdiction applies.

16. Final Provisions 16.1 Should individual provisions of these GTC be or become wholly or partially invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision. 16.2 Amendments and additions to the contractual relationship and these GTC must be made in writing; this also applies to any waiver of the written form requirement.
