An order within the meaning of the following General Terms of Business shall be deemed to be the agreement governing publication of one or several advertisements of a Client forthe purpose of dissemination in magazines. The General Terms of Business of IDG Media shall alsoapply accordingly to orders for third-party supplements such as tip-ins, bound inserts or other inserts,provided they are suitable for publication and distribution. Any digression from these Terms ofBusiness shall not be effective unless made in writing. No terms and conditions of the Client to thecontrary shall apply, even if IDG Media does not object in a given instance.The order shall not be effective until accepted by written order confirmation, unless agreement onthe conclusion of contract has been reached in a different manner, especially before written con-firmation of the order.

2. Execution. There shall be no entitlement to inclusion of advertisements in particular issues, particular editions or at particular places in the publication. IDG Media will be free to position anadvertisement in an appropriate place, unless its placement has been agreed for a particular issue,a particular edition and a particular place in the publication provided that the print material is supplied to IDG Media in good time. IDG Media will otherwise be entitled to position it in a suitableplace in a different issue. Exclusion of competitors is not possible. In the case of classified advertise-ments IDG Media guarantees that they will be printed in the relevant classified section, without thisrequiring explicit agreement.If the Client is granted the right to order individual advertisements within the purview of an Agreement,the order is to be executed within one calendar year after the conclusion of agreement if nothingelse is agreed during the term of the master contract.

3. Right of Refusal. IDG Media reserves the right to turn down advertising and supplement orders– including individual advertising texts and supplements in the case of master contracts – on groundsof content, origin or technical form in compliance with standard principles of IDG Media materiallyjustified by customary practice in the industry, if their content violates the law, infringes regulationsof the authorities or offends common decency or their publication is deemed to be unreasonable forIDG Media. To this extent, IDG Media may withdraw from orders already confirmed – including fromindividual part-orders based on master contracts – if it is not until after conclusion of the Agreementthat IDG Media becomes aware of the content, origin or technical form of an order that would haveentitled it to reject the same. Moreover, orders of supplements will not be binding on IDG Media untilafter presentation of a sample of the supplement and its approval.No supplements, whose format or getup give the reader the impression of their being an integralpart of the magazine or which contain third-party advertisements, will be accepted. The Client willbe notified of rejection of the order without delay. Any advertisements, which on account of their artistic design are not recognizable as advertising, will be clearly marked by IDG Media with the word“advertisement”.

4. Delivery of Print Material. The Client shall be responsible for the timely delivery of faultlessprint material or supplements. The Client shall, when so required by IDG Media, immediately replaceany print material that is visibly unsuitable or damaged. The costs of producing ordered print materialas well as of major changes to originally agreed versions which are requested by the Client or areattributable to the Client on account of the technical quality of the print material supplied, shall beborne by the Client.Where any defects in the print material are not immediately recognizable, but only become apparentduring the printing process, the Client shall not be entitled to file any claims in case of inadequateprinting. Print material will be returned only at the express wish of the Client. The obligation for safe-keeping ends three months after the last publication. IDG Media will have no obligation to examinethe content of advertisements and their legal admissibility.

5. Proofs. Proofs will be supplied only on express request; the Client shall bear responsibility for thecorrectness of the returned proofs. IDG Media will consider only those corrections by the Client thatare notified to it within the period set on dispatch of the proof.

6. Warranty. In the case of bilateral mercantile transactions, the Client is obliged to notify possibledefects immediately after the placement of the advertisement, after they have come to his attentionor on discovery. In the case of a failure to fulfil the requirement to give notice of defects the place-ment of the advertisement shall be deemed as approved.In the case of wholly or partially illegible, incorrect or incomplete printing of an advertisement attribut-able to IDG Media, the Client shall be entitled to subsequent performance through placement of a make-good advertisement free from any defects, however only to the extent to which the purposeof the advertisement was impaired. Should IDG Media fail to meet this obligation within a reason-able fixed period or if the makegood advertisement is also defective, then the Client may in the caseof single advertisements demand reduction of the remuneration or withdraw from the Agreement;in the case of master contracts the Client may only demand reduction of the remuneration relatingto the defective partial service.In the case of errors of any type whatsoever resulting from transmission by telephone, IDG Mediawill not be liable for the correctness of the acceptance of the order.

7. Liability. IDG Media will be exclusively liable for damages arising from intent, gross negligenceand missing guaranteed properties. In all other instances, IDG Media will be liable only in the eventof breach of a substantial obligation, or upon delayed performance or owing to impossibility of performance, for damages whose occurrence had to be reasonably expected at the time of the conclusion of the Agreement, not, however, for damages that have arisen fortuitously or indirectdamages or consequential damages.Liability with respect to businessmen for gross and ordinary negligence, in the case of vicariousagents who are not statutory agents or senior executives, also in the case of intent, is limited to thecustomarily and typically foreseeable damage in such cases as cannot be controlled by the Client.With negligent breach of a substantial obligation the liability of IDG Media will be limited at theutmost to the amount of the agreed remuneration.Statutory liability for personal damage and in accordance with the German Product Liability Actremains unaffected, IDG has the option of the plea of contributory negligence.The Client is entitled only to claim damages from IDG Media owing to defects to the extent that IDG is liable under Articles 276, 278 BGB (German Civil Code).Insofar as IDG Media is obliged to pay damages it shall treat the Client as if the Agreement had notbeen concluded; damages owing to non-performance are excluded.

8. Terms of Payment. If the Client does not make an advance payment, any invoices and vou-cher copy will – if so agreed – be sent forthwith, but where possible within 14 days of publication ofthe advertisement. The prices of the advertisements will be based on the relevant valid price list. In the

event of any changes, the new conditions will in the case of price reductions also apply immediatelyto current orders, and in the case of price increases one month after notification of the respectivevalid conditions in the imprint or other suitable place in the magazine. In the case of a price increasethe Client has the right to withdraw from the Agreement.
