These AGB shall also apply to usage by Customers of the online platform https://my.zbp.at (“ZBP Career Platform”) operated by ZBP.

General terms of business of Customers contradicting the present AGB shall be invalid in their entirety, irrespective of when or how they are communicated to ZBP.

Oral or deviating written agreements shall only be valid if confirmed in writing by ZBP Management. If special arrangements that deviate from these AGB are made for an order, such arrangements will expire upon completion of said order and shall not apply to any further transactions.

Contracts shall only come into effect upon written order confirmation, submission of invoice, or provision of services. This shall also apply to booking products online via ZBP Career Platform.

The Customer shall be bound by inquiries or offers for one week after they are received at ZBP unless a longer commitment period has been agreed or is customary, or the Customer has specifically stated a shorter commitment period in the inquiry or the offer.

If the content of the order confirmation by ZBP deviates from the inquiry or the offer, the contract shall be deemed concluded pursuant to the confirmation by ZBP unless the Customer objects within 3 days.

§3 Prices, Maturity, Default:

Prices: Unless agreed otherwise in writing, the prices stated on ZBB Career Platform or in the product documentation or specific offers shall apply. Any prices are quoted by ZBP net, in euros, without VAT or any applicable charges and fees.

In the event of any unforeseeable extraordinary cost increases (e.g., for personnel, third-party services, or exchange rate fluctuations), ZBP shall have the right to adjust prices accordingly.

Maturity: The consideration shall be due and payable immediately upon receipt of invoice. ZBP shall have the right to submit invoices before the provision of services.

Moreover, the Customer shall be liable for related and appropriate collection costs.

In the event of default, ZBP shall also have the right to suspend the provision of services until receipt of full payment or withdraw from the contract if a written reminder proves unsuccessful. The suspension of the provision of services shall not affect the existing contract (in particular the term of the contract).

Consequences of default for Partners: If a Customer has entered into a Partnership and failed to pay the related fee by the end of February of the year in question, the regular prices shall apply for the duration of the default instead of the reduced partner prices for Partners. Likewise, no free services under the Partnership can be used for the duration of the default.

Invoicing: If ZBP issues its invoice to someone other than the Customer after conclusion of the contract, this shall generally not be deemed a change in the contractual partner nor, in particular, any discharge of the Customer of its payment obligations. If the ZBP invoice is sent to a third party, this shall constitute consent only to such party’s assumption of debt, but not to any transfer of the contract.

Please ensure that the invoice address is correct. A subsequent change of the invoice address, if still possible, will be charged with EUR 25 net.
