By accessing or using our website or engaging us for software or app development services, you agree to these Terms in full.
If you do not agree, you must not use our services or website.
2. Scope of Services
Beyond Corporate GmbH provides custom software and app development, digital consulting, system design, and related IT services.
Specific service details, timelines, and deliverables will be outlined in individual service agreements, proposals, or project contracts between Beyond Corporate GmbH and the client.
All engagements are subject to these Terms unless explicitly overridden by a signed written contract.
3. Intellectual Property
a) Our Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, all intellectual property rights in this website, our source code, designs, documentation, and service deliverables belong to Beyond Corporate GmbH or its licensors.
All rights are reserved.
You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, or commercially exploit any material, software, or design owned by Beyond Corporate GmbH without our prior written consent.
b) Client Intellectual Property
All materials, trademarks, or data provided by clients remain their property. We use such assets solely for project execution and in accordance with contractual terms.
c) Custom Deliverables
Upon full payment of project fees, clients typically receive a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use the deliverables (e.g., source code, designs, or applications) as agreed in the service contract.
Beyond Corporate GmbH retains the right to reuse non-confidential code libraries, frameworks, or design patterns developed independently before or during the project.
4. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep all confidential information — including code, designs, documents, and business data — strictly private and not to disclose it to any third party without written consent.
This obligation continues even after the end of a business relationship.
5. Payment and Invoicing
All payments are due in accordance with the terms stated in the respective project agreement or invoice.
Unless otherwise agreed:
- Invoices are payable within 14 days from the date of issue.
- All fees are exclusive of VAT, unless specified otherwise.
- Late payments may incur interest in accordance with §288 BGB (German Civil Code).
Project work may be paused or terminated if invoices remain unpaid beyond the due date.
6. Client Responsibilities
Clients agree to:
- Provide timely feedback, approvals, and materials necessary for project progress.
- Ensure that all provided materials (e.g., images, text, data) are legally owned or licensed.
- Maintain backups and take reasonable precautions to secure their systems and data.
Beyond Corporate GmbH shall not be liable for delays or additional costs resulting from incomplete or delayed client input.
7. Liability and Warranties
a) Service Warranty
We provide all services with professional care and in line with industry standards.
However, Beyond Corporate GmbH does not guarantee that software will be completely error-free or compatible with all systems.
b) Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- Beyond Corporate GmbH shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (including data loss, downtime, or lost profits).
- Our total liability in any claim arising from a contract is limited to the total amount paid for the specific project.
c) Exclusions
We are not responsible for damages caused by:
- Improper use or modification of software after delivery.
- Third-party software integrations or external hosting environments.
- Force majeure events (e.g., power failure, natural disasters, or government restrictions).
8. Third-Party Tools and Integrations
Our software and websites may integrate or depend on third-party APIs, hosting services, or open-source components.
Beyond Corporate GmbH does not control these external services and is not responsible for their performance, uptime, or data practices.
Use of such components is governed by their respective third-party terms and licenses.
9. Data Protection
We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and all applicable German data protection laws.
Details on how we handle personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy available on our website.
By using our services, you acknowledge that data may be processed as required to fulfill contractual and operational obligations.
10. Termination of Services
Either party may terminate a project or agreement:
- With written notice, following the termination terms in the project contract; or
- Immediately, if the other party breaches material obligations (e.g., confidentiality or payment).
Upon termination, all unpaid work completed up to that point must be settled within 14 days.
Clients will receive all project materials paid for, in the format agreed upon in the contract.
11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with German law.
The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or related to these Terms is Hamburg, Germany, provided the user is a business entity within the meaning of §14 BGB.
12. Amendments
Beyond Corporate GmbH reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time.
The latest version will always be available on our website with the updated effective date.
Continued use of our website or services after changes indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
13. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain valid and enforceable.
The invalid provision shall be replaced with one that most closely reflects the original intent and purpose.
