General Terms and Conditions of Business

1. 1. Order1.1 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 for the purpose of dissemination in magazines. The General Terms of Business

of IDG Media shall also apply 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 of Business shall not be effective unless

made in writing. No terms and conditions of the Client to the contrary shall apply, even

if IDG Media does not object in a given instance.

1.2 The order shall not be effective until accepted by written order confirmation, unless

agreement on the conclusion of contract has been reached in a different manner, espe-

cially before written confirmation of the order.

2. Execution2.1 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 an advertisement 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 suitable place in a different

issue. Exclusion of competitors is not possible. In the case of classified advertisements

IDG Media guarantees that they will be printed in the relevant classified section,

without this requiring explicit agreement

2.2 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 nothing else is agreed during the term of the master

contract.

3. Right of Refusal3.1 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 grounds of content, origin or technical form in compliance with standard principles

of IDG Media materially justified by customary practice in the industry, if their content

violates the law, infringes regulations of the authorities or offends common decency

or their publication is deemed to be unreasonable for IDG Media. To this extent,

IDG Me-dia may withdraw from orders already confirmed – including from individual

partorders based on master contracts – if it is not until after conclusion of the Agree-

ment that IDG Media becomes aware of the content, origin or technical form of an

order that would have entitled it to reject the same. Moreover, orders of supplements

will not be binding on IDG Media until after presentation of a sample of the

supplement and its approval.

3.2 No supplements, whose format or getup give the reader the impression of their

being an integral part of the magazine or which contain third-party advertisements,

will be accepted. The Client will be 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 Material4.1 The Client shall be responsible for the timely delivery of faultless print material or

supplements. The Client shall, when so required by IDG Media, immediately replace any

print material that is visibly unsuitable or damaged. The costs of producing ordered print

material as well as of major changes to originally agreed versions which are requested

by the Client or are attributable to the Client on account of the technical quality of the

print material supplied, shall be borne by the Client.

4.2 Where any defects in the print material are not immediately recognizable, but

only become apparent during the printing process, the Client shall not be entitled to

file any claims in case of inadequate printing. Print material will be returned only at

the express wish of the Client. The obligation for safekeeping ends three months after

the last publication. IDG Media will have no obligation to examine the content of

advertisements and their legal admissibility.

5. Proofs

Proofs will be supplied only on express request; the Client shall bear responsibility for

the correctness of the returned proofs. IDG Media will consider only those corrections by

the Client that are notified to it within the period set on dispatch of the proof.

6. Warranty6.1 In the case of bilateral mercantile transactions, the Client is obliged to notify

possible defects immediately after the placement of the advertisement, after they

have come to his attention or on discovery. In the case of a failure to fulfil the

requirement to give notice of defects the placement of the advertisement shall be

deemed as approved.

6.2 In the case of wholly or partially illegible, incorrect or incomplete printing

of an advertisement attributable 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 purpose of the

advertisement was impaired. Should IDG Media fail to meet this obligation within

a reasonable fixed period or if the makegood advertisement is also defective,

then the Client may in the case of 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 relating to the defective

partial service.

6.3 In the case of errors of any type whatsoever resulting from transmission by

telephone, IDG Media will not be liable for the correctness of the acceptance of

the order.

7. Liability7.1 IDG Media will be exclusively liable for damages arising from intent, gross

negligence and missing guaranteed properties. In all other instances, IDG Media

will be liable only in the event of 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 indirect

damages or consequential damages.

7.2 Liability with respect to businessmen for gross and ordinary negligence, in the

case of vicarious agents who are not statutory agents or senior executives, also in

the case of intent, is limited to the customarily 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 the utmost to

the amount of the agreed remuneration.

7.3 Statutory liability for personal damage and in accordance with the German

Product Liability Act remains unaffected, IDG has the option of the plea of

contributory negligence.

7.4 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).

7.5 Insofar as IDG Media is obliged to pay damages it shall treat the Client as if

the Agreement had not been concluded; damages owing to non-performance are

excluded.

8. Terms of Payment8.1 If the Client does not make an advance payment, any invoices and voucher

copy will – if so agreed – be sent forthwith, but where possible within 14 days of

publication of the 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 immediately to current orders, and

in the case of price increases one month after notification of the respective valid

conditions in the imprint or other suitable place in the magazine. In the case of a

price increase the Client has the right to withdraw from the Agreement. The Client

is obliged to exercise this right within 5 working days after receipt of the informa-

tion of the price increase. The price will be due immediately on publication of the

advertisement and payable within 20 days of receipt of the invoice, unless any

other term of payment or advance payment is agreed in a given instance. Where

the time of receipt of the invoice is not certain, the Client – provided it is not the

user – shall be deemed to be in default no later than 20 days after the due date

and publication of the advertisement.

8.2 In their contracts with, and offers and invoices to, the advertisers, advertising

agencies and other advertising brokers are obliged to adhere to the price lists of

IDG Media.

21 Rate card Print

General Terms and Conditions of Business

9. Discounts9.1 Any discounts for early payment will be granted as provided in the price list. Any

agreed or granted discounts for the placement of several advertisements or on conclusion

of master contracts will apply only if the respective quantity and time frame are adhered

to. Failure to comply with the agreed quantity or the time frame will entitle IDG Media to

subsequently charge the discount in proportion to the difference between the discount

granted and that corresponding to the quantity actually purchased.

9.2 The application of a group discount to subsidiaries shall be subject to written proof of

a capital tie-up at a minimum rate of 50%. Any remuneration granted by IDG Media for

the procurement of business may not be passed on by the Client either in whole or in part.

10. Default of Payment10.1 Should the Client be in default with a payment, IDG Media will be entitled to demand

without prior notice default interest until receipt of the payment pursuant to Art. 288

Para 2 BGB (German Civil Code), or pursuant to Art. 288 Para 1 BGB and to charge

collection expenses.

10.2 If IDG Media learns after conclusion of the Agreement that its pecuniary claim against

the Client is jeopardized by lack of solvency on the part of the Client due to its poor

financial circumstances then IDG Media may - notwithstanding any payment agreements

- demand advance payment for any placements already made, immediate payment of any

outstanding invoices, even if not yet due, reject further placements of advertisements or

withdraw from the Agreement.

11. Voucher CopyIn the case of advertisements, IDG Media will, by special agreement, supply a voucher copy

with the invoice. Depending on the type and scope of the advertising order, excerpts from

the advertisements, tear sheets or complete voucher copies will be supplied. If it is no

longer possible to procure a voucher copy, a legally binding certificate from IDG Media on

the publication and dissemination of the advertisement will be provided in its place.

12. Keyed AdvertisementsIn the case of keyed advertisements, IDG Media will exercise the due prudence of a

businessman with respect to the safekeeping and timely forwarding of offers.

Registered letters, express letters and other forms of delivery and communication will

be forwarded by IDG Media only by normal mail. The replies to keyed advertisements will

be kept for 4 weeks. Any communications which cannot be delivered in this period will be

destroyed.

13. Defaults in PerformanceIDG Media will not be liable for any performance delays arising as a result of force majeure,

strike, lock-out, business disruptions or other equivalent events. After cessation of such

an event, IDG Media may publish advertisements in the next possible issue of the printed

publication or it may withdraw from the Agreement in whole or in part. To this extent, the

Client shall not be entitled to claim any damages.

14. Privacy Policy14.1 IDG Media gives its assurance that the order will be executed exclusively in accordance

with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetzes, BDSG)

and other legal regulations relating to data protection. The personal data provided by the

Client as part of the execution of the order, especially the placing and the processing of

the order, will be stored in a machine-readable manner, processed and used exclusively

for this purpose, unless the Client has consented to another type of use, as well as for the

purpose of invoicing and remuneration.

14.2 The Client authorises IDG Media to acquire, process, store and use its personal data

within the scope of the order placing and processing insofar as this is necessary to carry out

the placement of the advertisement and the respective invoicing. IDG Media is furthermore

authorised to access the personal data relinquished to it for the maintenance of its working

condition. To this extent IDG Media guarantees that it will treat the data relinquished to it

as confidential.

14.3 The Client may at any time view free of charge its personal data stored with IDG

Media. The Client may address an inquiry in writing to IDG Media for this purpose.

14.4 Within the purview of the statutory data protection regulations IDG Media undertakes

to use the Client’s data known to it from the mandate relationship, unless the Client has

consented otherwise to IDG Media making further use of these data, exclusively for the

fulfilment of the purposes of these

General Terms of Business, to preserve the confidentiality of the data and to enjoin its

employees to observe the same secrecy in accordance with the legal requirements.

15. Granting and warranty of rightsIn placing the order the Client gives its guarantee and assurance that it is the

unqualified holder of all exploitation rights in the advertisements that are

required for the placement of the advertisement.

The Client shall to this extent indemnify IDG Media against any and all claims

of third parties that may arise from the violation of legal regulations.

In cases of dispute the Client undertakes to indemnify IDG Media from the

costs of a necessary legal defence and to support it with all necessary infor-

mation and documents in a legal defence with respect to third parties.

16. Place of Jurisdiction and Applicable LawThe place of jurisdiction and performance shall be Munich, where IDG Media

is domiciled, if the Client is a qualified businessman, if it has no general

place of jurisdiction in Germany, it has moved its place of domicile or place

of habitual residence after conclusion of the Agreement to somewhere

outside the territory covered by the law, or if its place of domicile or place of

habitual residence is not known at the time when legal proceedings are in-

stituted. Otherwise the general place of jurisdiction of the Client shall apply.

The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to the exclusion of

UN purchase law (CISG).

17. Final Provisions17.1 All information, consents, communications or inquiries about these

Terms of Business are binding only in writing. Dispatch by e-mail is equi-

valent to the written form. In the case of dispatch by fax or e-mail the date

when this is received by the other partner respectively is relevant.

17.2 The General Terms of Business and any other written agreements will

retain their validity, even if any individual provisions should prove to be

invalid. The provision in question shall then be construed in such a manner

as to achieve as far as possible its originally intended commercial and legal

objectives.

Forms of Advertising

Banner (full-size/half-size)

On ChannelPartner online you can place all the current

banner file formats, irrespective of whether they are

animated GIF, complex nanosite or flash banners.

Java applications can also be logged in via our system.

Banner ads can be inserted as rotating bookings across

the whole website or even in individual sections. In this

way we can help you to address your target group more

accurately. The banners are supplied entirely to suit your

particular wishes with the number of contacts you have

specified within the selected time frame.

Leaderboard

Leaderboards use the whole width of the site with

728 x 90 Pixel and are therefore more conspicuous than the

full-size and half-size banners.

Rectangle / Content Ad / MPU

The rectangle is a large-scale form of advertising that is

integrated centrally into the editorial content of the web-

site.The area of 336 x 280 Pixel can be used for graphic

elements as well as for text contents with logo.

Through its catchy integration you can achieve excellent

awareness values

Text Ad

Text ads are ideal for lead generation. Create top

awareness ratings by placing these ads inside the contents.

The editors of ChannelPartner are breaking new ground in

up-to-the-minute reporting. As a additional source of in-

formation for visitors to the website, they are now offering

film sequences as well. Internet television – or ‘CP tv’ as

we call it – is a new way of stimulating the interest of rea-

ders with moving pictures and news from the industry.

As an example, a professional television team records

interviews by the editors with big names in the industry.

Broadcasting formats with plenty of strong views are also

offered on CP tv. In the series “Ansichtssache”

(A Matter of Opinion), two editors discuss interesting events

that have happened in the market – whether they are

personnel announcements, product presentations, company

news or new technologies. In this way, dealers can, for

example, obtain a clear picture of the sales potential of a

particular product and are in a better position to judge how

market developments will affect them.

And nor is there any shortage of genuine reader service on

CP tv. In interviews with lawyers specializing in IT and

trade and industrial law, ChannelPartner readers are

presented with information on interesting topics offering

lots of added value.

Great importance is attached to the practical side – the

knowledge communicated can be used right away.

Reports on trade fairs, roadshows and other industry events

round off the offerings of topical TV contributions from the

industry for the industry.

Details of CP tv sponsoring opportunities are available

upon request.

@Flash Tracking Kit Brief Instructions

Back in the summer of 2001, Macromedia and DoubleClick

jointly developed the “Flash Tracking Kit“ for counting clicks

on flash-based advertisements in the DART AdManagement

System. Note: This new method with all its advantages will

function on Flash 4 and above (if, however, an older soft-

ware version is used, the clicks can be counted by using DART

ClickCommand).

Brief instructions for the Flash Tracking Kit:

1. In the not yet compressed Flash ad (.fla format) go to the

“getURL action“ menu

2. In the “URL” field, do not insert the full URL, but: clickTag

3. On the right-hand side next to the URL field, activate the

”Expression“ box

4. In the “Window“ field (below the URL) write: _blank

(do not activate the relevant “Expression“ box here (!))

5. Leave the “Variables” field unchanged at Don‘t send

6. Export the file as swf file

More detailed information can also be found under:

http://www.macromedia.com/resources/richmedia/tracking/

http://www.macromedia.com/resources/richmedia/tracking/desig-

ners_guide/

In order to be able to incorporate the flash-based advertisement

into the DART AdManagement system, IDG needs the following

data and information from you!

1. The completed swf file (maximum volume of data: 35 Kb)

2. A .gif file of the same Pixel size as the Flash file (this “back-up-

gif” is used when no Flash plug-in support is available)

3. The clickthrough URL or URLs, which the Flash file is

to link up with

4. If available: the background color (bgcolor) of the .swf file

5. Details of the Flash version in which the .swf file was saved

1. 1. Advertising Order1.1 For the purpose of the following General Terms of Business, an order shall be deemed to be the agreement governing the placement of one or several advertisements by the Client in information and communication services, particularly the Internet, for the purpose of disseminating the advertisement through IDG Media.1.2 The advertising order is subject exclusively to these General Terms of Business and the price lists of IDG Media which form a substantial part of the order. No terms and conditions of the Client to the contrary shall apply, even if IDG Media does not object in a given instance.

2. Advertising material2.1 For the purpose of these General Terms of Business advertisements can consist of one or a number of the following elements listed below:- an image or text,- sound sequences and/or moving images (e.g. banners),- a sensitive area which if clicked on creates a link to additional data at an online address specified by the Client in the sphere of the Client or of a third party.2.2 Any advertisements which on account of their design are not recognisable as advertising will be clearly marked as such.2.3 As a basic principle applicable formats for the placement of advertisements are those formats that are specified in the relevant valid price list of IDG Media. Special formats and special types of advertising are possible after prior consultation and by special agreement with IDG Media.

3. Conclusion of Agreement3.1 On principle, the Agreement is concluded by written order confirmation or by e-mail, provided there are no contrary individual agreements by the parties. The General Terms of Business also apply to the confirmation of orders placed either personally or by phone.3.2 With orders placed by advertising agencies the Agreement is concluded with the agency in the absence of other written agreements. If the advertiser itself is to become the Client, the advertiser has to be identified by name by the advertising agency. IDG Media is entitled to request a proof of mandate from the advertising agency.3.3 Advertising orders placed by several clients or other interested parties within one advertisement presentation (e.g. banner-popup advertising) requires the conclusion of an additional agreement in writing or by e-mail by all parties involved.3.4 The order must be received at the latest 3 working days before the commencement of the placement, unless exceptions to this have been agreed. The conditions specified in the order confirmation are relevant for the placement and proper performance.

4. Execution4.1 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 conclu-sion of agreement if nothing else is agreed during the term of the master contract. If the Client fails to observe the one-year period, the Client is obliged to repay IDG Media the difference between the discount granted and that corresponding to the quantity actually purchased.4.2 The Client shall be granted the right to place additional advertisements exceeding the quantity specified in the order within the agreed period or the period stated under Item 4.1 provided that IDG Media has capacity available.

5. Right of Refusal5.1 IDG Media reserves the right to reject and refuse advertising orders – including individual calls within the pur-view of a concluded agreement comprising several advertisements – on grounds of content, origin or technical form or owing to the website to which it is linked in compliance with standard, materially justified principles. The same shall apply, if the adverts or the website to which they are linked violate the law and/or in-fringe regulations of the authorities or if their content has been objected to by the German Advertising Council (Deutscher Werberat) in a complaints procedure or their publication is deemed unacceptable for IDG Media.5.2 IDG Media is entitled in particular to withdraw an already published advertisement, if the Client itself subse-quently alters the content of the advertisement or if the data connected to the advertisement by means of a link are subsequently modified. In this case, the Client is not entitled to a replacement free of charge, whereas IDG Media retains its agreed right to compensation.

6. Delivery of Data6.1 The Client shall be responsible for the timely and complete delivery of faultless and suitable advertisements 3 working days before the commencement of the placement at the latest. For special advertising forms a period of 5 working days or corresponding agreements with IDG Media shall apply.6.2 The obligation of IDG Media for the safekeeping of the respective advertisement ends 3 months after its last dissemination.6.3 IDG Media shall request replacement for recognisably unsuitable or damaged copies. No responsibility is accepted for the agreed dissemination of the advertisement in the event of incomplete and in particular late delivery or subsequent modification. 6.4 IDG Media will examine the exchange or modification of advertisements by the Client after the agreed period or deviation from a possibly existing motif schedule with a view to whether a placement is still possible within the agreed period of time without any legal redress for the Client.6.5 If keyed advertisements are placed the replies will be kept or stored for 4 weeks. Any communications that have not been fetched or called within this period will be destroyed or deleted.

7. Notice of DefectIn the case of bilateral mercantile transactions, the Client is obliged to notify possible defects immediately after the placement of the advertisement, after they have come to his attention or on discovery. In the case of a failure to fulfil the requirement to give notice of defects the placement of the advertisement shall be deemed as approved.

8. Warranty8.1 Within the scope of the foreseeable requirements, IDG Media guarantees the best possible reproduction of the advertisement corresponding to the customary technical standard. However, the Client is aware that it is impossible, given the respective state of the art, to create a program that is completely free of faults. A fault in the presentation of the advertisement shall not be deemed to be present, if the impairment arises through the use of an unsuitable presentation software and/or hardware (e.g. browser) or through the malfunction of the communication networks of other operators or the breakdown of the processors of third parties (e.g. other providers), or through incomplete and/or not updated offers on so-called proxy servers (intermediate storage facilities) or through the breakdown of the ad-server used by IDG Media lasting not more than 24 hours (continuously or in total) within 30 days after the com-mencement of the contractually agreed placement. In the event of a breakdown of the ad-server over a considerable period of time (more than 10 % of the time booked) for a confirmed booking tied to a particular time, the Client’s obligation to pay for the period of the break-down shall be cancelled. All further claims are, however, excluded.8.2 If the reproduction quality of the advertisement is unsatisfactory, the Client shall be entitled to a reduction in payment or to the execution of a faultless advertisement in its stead, only to the extent, however, to which the purpose of the advertisement was impaired. If the Client allows the appropriate deadline it has been granted to elapse or a substitute advertisement is impossible the Client is entitled to a reduction in payment or the cancellation of the order.8.3 Where any defects in the advertising material are not immediately recognizable the Client shall not be entitled to file any claims in case of inadequate publication. The same shall apply to faults in repeated placements, if the advertiser fails to draw attention to the faults before the next following placement.8.4 IDG Media will eliminate as quickly as possible any non-trivial malfunctions and faults in its servers and make every effort to eliminate trivial impairments within a reasonable period of time. IDG Media will endeavour to keep the service via the web always accessible.8.5 IDG Media shall be answerable for the availability of its servers to the extent that the non-availability and hence the work and down times are based on wilful or gross negligence by IDG Media. This does not apply if the non-availability is based on force majeure, or IDG Media is not responsible for such non-availability, or the work is carried out only in the interest of the Client. In this respect IDG Media expressly excludes any warranty.8.6 IDG Media is not obliged to examine advertisements or contents to ensure that they are correct, up-to-date, complete, reliable, of good quality and free of errors and in this respect shall neither provide any guarantee nor accept any liability either expressly or by implication.

9. Liability9.1 IDG Media will be exclusively liable for damages arising from intent, gross negligence and missing guaranteed properties. In all other instances, IDG Media will be liable only in the event of 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 indirect damages or consequential damages.9.2 Liability with respect to businessmen for gross and ordinary negligence, in the case of vicarious agents who are not statutory agents or senior executives, also in the case of intent, is limited to the customarily and typically foresee-able 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 the utmost to the amount of the agreed remuneration.9.3 Statutory liability for personal damage and in accordance with the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected; IDG has the option of the plea of contributory negligence.

9.4 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).9.5 Insofar as IDG Media is obliged to pay damages it shall treat the Client as if the Agreement had not been concluded; damages owing to non-performance are excluded. In case of data losses IDG Media is liable only for the damage that would have occurred even if the Client had secured the data in an orderly manner.

10. Price List10.1 On principle, as far as the remuneration of IDG Media is concerned, the price list with the discount schedule published in the Internet at the time of the placement of the order shall apply. IDG Media reserves the right to change its prices, discounts and other conditions any time. In the event of any changes, the new conditions will in the case of price reductions also apply immediately to current orders and in the case of price increases one month after notification of the respective valid conditions on the Internet. In the case of a price increase the Client has the right to withdraw from the Agreement. The Client is obliged to exercise this right within 5 working days after receipt of the information of the price increase.10.2 Discounts are based on the respective valid price list. Any discounts for early payment will be granted as provided in the price list. Any agreed or granted discounts for the placement of several advertisements or on conclusion of master contracts will apply only if the respective quantity and time frame are adhered to. Failure to comply with the agreed quantity or the time frame will entitle IDG Media to subsequently charge the discount in proportion to the difference between the discount granted and that corresponding to the quantity actually purchased.10.3 The application of a group discount to subsidiaries shall be subject to written proof of a capital tie up at a minimum rate of 50%. Any remuneration granted by IDG Media for the procurement of business may not be passed on by the Client either in whole or in part.

11. Terms of Payment11.1 The price for the placement of the advertisement will be due immediately on publication of the adver-tisement and payable within 20 days of receipt of the invoice, unless any other term of payment or advance payment is agreed in a given instance.11.2 In their contracts with, and offers and invoices to, the advertisers, advertising agencies and other advertising brokers are obliged to adhere to the price lists of IDG Media.

12. Default of Payment12.1 Should the Client be in default with a payment, IDG Media will be entitled to demand without prior notice default interest until receipt of the payment pursuant to Art. 288 Para 2 BGB (German Civil Code), or pursuant to Art. 288 Para 1 BGB and to charge collection expenses.12.2 If IDG Media learns after conclusion of the Agreement that its pecuniary claim against the Client is jeopardized by lack of solvency on the part of the Client due to its poor financial circumstances then IDG Media may - notwithstanding any payment agreements - demand advance payment for any placements already made, immediate payment of any outstanding invoices, even if not yet due, reject further placements of advertisements or withdraw from the Agreement.

13. Privacy Policy13.1 IDG Media gives its assurance that the order will be executed exclusively in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzge-setzes, BDSG) and other legal regulations relating to data protection.
