2.1 The following provisions shall apply to the formation of a contract through booking or commissioning via e-mail or telephone.

2.2 The presentation of film-related services and offers on the Veer Videoproduction platform does not constitute a legally binding offer, but merely a non-binding invitation to the Client to submit an enquiry concerning a proposed project.
The Client’s enquiry with regard to a proposed project likewise does not constitute an offer to conclude a contract of sale or service.

2.3 A binding contract between Veer Video Production and the Client shall only come into existence when both parties have signed a written order form incorporating these Terms and Conditions.

3. Prices, Payment and Due Date

10. Right of Withdrawal

Veer Video Production reserves the right, even after conclusion of the contract, to refuse the production of videos where, in the company’s reasonable opinion, the execution of the contract would be unacceptable.
This shall apply, in particular, where the production of videos would infringe copyright, competition, press, criminal, or any other statutory provisions.

11. Liability

11.1 Veer Video Production  shall not be liable for the failure of the produced videos to achieve specific outcomes (for example, an increase in sales or revenue).

11.2 Veer Video Production shall be liable for damages, regardless of the legal basis, only in cases of wilful misconduct, gross negligence, or the absence of a warranted characteristic.

11.3 The foregoing limitation of liability shall likewise apply to the agents, subcontractors, and legal representatives of Veer Video Production. 

11.4 In all other cases, Veer Video Production shall be liable only where material contractual obligations (so-called cardinal obligations) have been breached.

Material contractual obligations are those duties which the contract, by its nature, imposes upon Veer Video Production to achieve the contractual purpose, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper performance of the contract, and upon whose observance the Client may regularly rely.

In such cases, liability shall be limited to the typical and foreseeable damage. Compensation for atypical or unforeseeable losses shall not be granted.

The videos shown on veertv.de are examples of our production quality and reference material. They are intended solely for non-commercial presentation and demonstration purposes.

We do not claim any ownership rights to the artists, works, music, or other content shown. All copyrights and ancillary copyrights remain with the respective rights holders (composers, performers, performance companies, organizers, orchestras, etc.).

The portfolio videos may be viewed, referenced, and quoted in editorial contexts by third parties for non-commercial purposes. Commercial use, remarketing, or sublicensing without the prior written consent of Veer Video Production is not permitted.

15. Severability Clause

Should any individual provision of this contract be or become invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, after the conclusion of the contract, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not thereby be affected.

In place of the invalid or unenforceable provision, such valid and enforceable provision shall be deemed agreed as most closely reflects the economic intent which the parties pursued with the invalid or unenforceable provision.

The same shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event that this contract is found to contain a gap or omission.
