§ 10 Final provisions
(1) All agreements containing an amendment, supplement or specification of these General Terms and Conditions and any contractual agreements as well as special guarantees and agreements must be made in writing to be effective. The written form requirement also applies to the waiver of the written form requirement itself.
(2) The client is informed that data is stored as part of the contract processing.
(3) The place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Berlin. This contract and all legal relationships between the contracting parties arising from this contractual relationship are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding German international private law and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
(4) Should individual provisions be or become invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Rather, the contracting parties shall work together to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a legally permissible and valid or enforceable provision that is suitable for achieving the intended purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision. Until then, such a provision shall be deemed to have been agreed. The same applies to the filling of contractual loopholes.
