GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Scope and provision of services:

EvoMed Consulting commits to providing specialized consulting services according to the ​agreed-upon consulting proposal and the defined timeframe therein. The client has the right to ​designate a title for the role of the consultant assigned by EvoMed for the purpose of internal ​and external communication (e.g., Medical Director, Medical Expert, etc.). The designation of ​the title is done in consultation with EvoMed Consulting. EvoMed independently determines ​the place of work and working hours, while adhering to any agreed-upon deadlines if ​applicable.

2. Obligation of cooperatio​n:

The client commits to actively participate in the consulting process and to timely provide ​EvoMed Consulting with all necessary documents for the provision of their consulting services, ​to provide information, and to inform EvoMed Consulting of all events and circumstances. This ​also applies to documents, events, and circumstances that only become known to EvoMed ​during their activities. Upon request by EvoMed, the client must confirm in writing the ​accuracy and completeness of the documents provided by them, as well as their statements ​and oral explanations.

3. Payment terms:

The compensation for the services will be in accordance with the sum agreed upon in the ​consulting proposal, plus any applicable value-added tax. The billing will be done at intervals of ​30 minutes per commenced half hour. The reimbursement of other expenses incurred by the ​contractor (legal consultation, tax consultation, etc.) requires the written consent of the client. ​Incurred travel and accommodation costs will be borne by the client or reimbursed in ​documented amounts, as well as travel expenses and allowances according to the applicable ​maximum tax rates. Late payments, as well as urgently requested services that require ​EvoMed’s activity after 7:00 pm, on weekends, and on holidays, may incur additional costs.

4. Confidentiality:

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of all information disclosed during the ​provision of services. This includes, but is not limited to, proprietary business information, ​trade secrets, and any other information designated as confidential. Each party agrees to ​implement appropriate security measures to protect the confidentiality of such information and ​to restrict access to authorized personnel only.

5. Intellectual Property:

All intellectual property developed during the consultation belongs to the party responsible for ​its creation.

6. Liability and release from liability:

EvoMed Consulting’s liability for any claims, damages, or losses arising out of or in connection ​with the services provided shall be limited to the one monthly fee paid by the client for such ​services. EvoMed Consulting shall not be liable for any consequential, indirect, or incidental ​damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, or data. The client agrees to ​indemnify, defend, and hold harmless EvoMed Consulting, its officers, directors, employees, ​and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and ​expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with (a) any ​breach of this agreement by the client, (b) the client’s use of the services provided by EvoMed ​Consulting, or (c) any third-party claims related to the services provided by EvoMed ​Consulting.

7. Contract duration and termination:

The consulting agreement becomes valid upon signature on the date agreed upon in the ​consulting proposal for the specified period stated therein. Each party is entitled to terminate ​the agreement with a notice period of 6 weeks to the end of the quarter by written notification. ​The right to terminate for important reasons remains unaffected by this.

8. Conflict resolution:

In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to negotiate in good faith. If no agreement can be ​reached, the dispute will be submitted to mediation before legal steps are taken. Should a ​judicial dispute still arise, the courts at the registered office of EvoMed Consulting GmbH shall ​have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes arising from or in connection with this consulting ​agreement.

9. Compliance with Laws:

Both parties commit to complying with all applicable laws and regulations relevant to the ​consulting services provided by EvoMed. This agreement shall be governed by and construed ​in accordance with the laws of Germany, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

10. Assignment and Transfer:​

Neither party may assign or transfer any rights or obligations under this agreement without ​the prior written consent of the other party, except that EvoMed Consulting may assign its ​rights and obligations under this agreement to a successor in interest in connection with a ​merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

11. Notices:​

Any notices, requests, demands, or other communications required or permitted under this ​agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered ​personally, sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier to the ​addresses set forth below or to such other address as either party may specify by written ​notice to the other party.

12. Other provisions:​

The client will be separately informed about changes to the general terms and conditions. If no ​objection is raised by the client within 14 days, this will be interpreted as tacit consent. If any ​provision of this agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent ​jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In ​this case, EvoMed will replace the invalid provision with another one that most closely ​corresponds to the economic purpose of the omitted regulation in a permissible manner.
