24. Execution / involvement of third parties

As a rule, Numarics shall execute the orders by its own Numarics employees.

25. Cost advances / interim invoices

Unless otherwise agreed, Numarics may demand advances on fees and expenses from the Customer and issue interim invoices at any time.
Any advances on costs shall be made independently of any cost estimates. They also do not constitute an estimate of the total costs (still) to be incurred in the matter. The actual costs may be higher or lower and customers (hereinafter referred to as Confidential Information) entrusted to it, obtained during and prior to the performance of the contract or otherwise becoming known to it. Numarics undertakes to use all Confidential Information only for the performance of the contract, to store it carefully and, in particular, to protect it appropriately from unauthorized (including electronic) access. With regard to confidential information, Numarics shall comply with the applicable provisions of the law and its (domestic or foreign) supervisory authorities and professional organizations.

The obligation of confidentiality does not apply.
(a) insofar as the disclosure of confidential information is part of the content of the order,
(b) to the extent that the disclosure of confidential information is necessary to protect its own legitimate interests, and
(c) if Numarics is obliged to disclose it by law or by order of a court, an authority or a regulator (including self-regulatory organizations).

Numarics may therefore disclose confidential information in the following cases in particular:
(i) to third parties who are subject to a statutory and/or contractual confidentiality obligation, insofar as this is necessary for the provision of the services (for example, if Numarics engages third parties as auxiliary persons),
(ii) to other, non-contractual employees of Numarics, insofar as this is necessary for the performance of quality controls, and/or
(iii) to legal advisors, insurers and Numaric’s risk management in connection with liability and responsibility issues and/or other legal issues.

These obligations apply both for the duration of the performance of the order and after its termination. cf. section 40 Order processing/data protection) hereafter.

26. Fee entitlement / remuneration / reimbursement of expenses / third-party fees / VAT / terms of payment /

Agreements on fixed prices can be regularly checked by us for plausibility and adjusted, if necessary, with prior notification to the client, whereby one month in advance is deemed sufficient. If no fixed price is applied (request for additional services) and no special fee agreement has been made with the client, Numarics fee claim shall be calculated on the basis of the actual hours worked in accordance with the agreed hourly rates.

Numarics shall invoice the client for fees and other claims. Unless otherwise agreed, invoices (including the currently applicable VAT) will be issued excluding a 3.5% flat rate for expenses for the services provided, excluding mileage allowance and actual expenses (e.g. for travel, meals, accommodation). Invoices are due for payment within 20 (twenty) calendar days of the invoice date (hereinafter the payment deadline), strictly net without deductions. Unless otherwise agreed, payments must be made in Swiss francs. Numarics is entitled to adjust the hourly rates charged in line with inflation. The basis for the calculation is the inflation index (Swiss national consumer price index). Agreements on installment payments must be expressly granted in writing (by letter or via electronic data transmission) by Numarics.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices shall be issued to the client for the services provided by Numarics on the basis of the actual hours worked and the applicable hourly rates of the employees involved. Numarics may demand reasonable advances on remuneration and reimbursement of expenses and make the provision of its services dependent on the full satisfaction of its claims. Several clients shall be jointly and severally liable.
Numarics claims for remuneration and reimbursement of expenses may only be offset against undisputed or legally established claims.
As a rule, Numarics shall issue monthly invoices for its services, unless otherwise agreed.
The Customer undertakes to settle the fee claims of third parties (including their expenses) directly and to indemnify Numarics against any obligations entered into or to hold Numarics harmless in full.

27. Cost estimates

Cost estimates by Numarics are based on estimates of the scope of the necessary activities and are prepared on the basis of the data provided by the client. For this reason, Numarics cost estimates are not binding for the final calculation of the fee.

28. Treatment of confidential information

Numarics undertakes to treat as confidential all business, operational, technical or other confidential documents, data and information relating to the Customer or its employees relationship can be terminated by either party at any time in writing and without notice. If the contractual relationship is terminated prematurely, the fee accrued up to that point will become due based on the effective hourly expenditure and the applicable hourly rates, along with the other costs and the pro rata profit-sharing resulting from the contract. If the termination is untimely, the terminating party is liable for the damage caused to the other party. This applies in particular to the damage incurred by Numarics because it called in third parties in connection with the execution of the order.
In all cases other than those mentioned in paragraph 1 above, the client can terminate the contractual relationship in writing before the agreed service is provided and Numarics will be fully indemnified, subject to a notice period of 30 days. If the contractual relationship is terminated in writing by Numarics before the agreed service is provided, taking into account the 30-day notice period, the client must accept the part of the agreed service that has already been carried out and the fee accrued up to that point on the basis of the effective hourly effort and the respective To pay the applicable hourly rates along with the remaining costs if the part already created is usable for him or her. If a circumstance occurs which makes it unreasonable for Numarics to execute a contract other than that mentioned in paragraph 1 above, such a contract can be terminated by Numarics at any time without notice and in writing. If the cause of this circumstance does not lie with Numarics, the client must fully indemnify Numarics in the event of termination of the contract.

29. Binding nature of the work results

Reports, expert opinions, statements, presentations, etc. prepared by Numarics shall only be binding upon their legally valid handwritten or electronic signature by Numarics. In the case of other work results, Numarics shall record their binding nature in a comparable manner in a corresponding final letter. Drafts, interim results or verbal information may contain deviations from the signed work result and are therefore always non-binding.

30. Termination of the contractual relationship

If a project is in a phase in which consulting and planning activities are still largely required, or if the production of a specific work result has not been agreed, the contractual by engaging Kreston, the client agrees that any claims arising from this assignment will be asserted exclusively against Kreston and that no claims in relation to this assignment will be made against any other member of Kreston or against Numarics itself or personally against anyone else involved in the performance of this assignment the person involved can be asserted. In the event that the client uses or intends to use the services of another Kreston member, the client agrees that may pass on the client's confidential information to other Kreston members or to the Numarics management, insofar as this information is relevant to them provision of services by the other Kreston member or relate to services that Numarics provides or has provided for the client.

Members of Kreston are separate legal entities and are only connected to one another through shared membership in Kreston.
Some Kreston members use Kreston as part of their company. Nothing in Numarics policies or regulations creates or implies an agency relationship or partnership between Kreston and/or Kreston's member companies.

To support the provision of services to the client, Numarics may occasionally establish contact between the client and partners or employees of other Kreston members. If the client uses the services of these partners or employees in connection with this order, he must make his own contractual arrangements directly with them and they cannot be viewed as clients or representatives of Numarics.
Accordingly, Numarics assumes no liability (the provisions of Article 15 apply) for the services they provide for the client. Neither Numarics nor any other member company of Numarics AG assumes any responsibility in connection with this order unless the client makes direct contractual agreements with them. The fact that the contact between Numarics and the client was established by an associated Kreston member does not create any responsibility of that associated Kreston member or its employees for any acts or omissions of Numarics.

Any complaints must be made to Numarics in writing (by letter or via electronic data transmission) within 30 (thirty) calendar days of notification of the work results.

These instructions can be changed at any time by the client. To avoid any ambiguities, they must be communicated to Numarics in writing in advance.

Numarics uses the technical process known as electronic or digital signature, which proves the identity of the signatory and the authenticity of an electronic document or electronic data.

Any repayment agreements must be agreed in writing and may be subject to late payment interest of up to 4% from the first due date of the invoice. Further legal steps such as debt collection and the following will be subject to additional fees and/or late payment interest. If reminders are unsuccessful, the fee claims can also be assigned to a company commissioned with debt collection after the third reminder. If debt collection is carried out by third parties, the client owes additional fees for their collection efforts.
The company responsible for debt collection will claim the outstanding amounts in its own name and on its own account and may charge additional processing fees.
