(a) The lump-sum fixed price is a unilaterally non-changeable total compensation owed for the contractual performance. Unless otherwise contractually agreed, the lump-sum fixed price shall include the cost of materials, travel time, travel expenses and other incidental expenses; subsequent claims by the Contractor shall be excluded.

(b) Remuneration according to expenditure shall be calculated on the basis of a daily rate, unless otherwise agreed in the contract. A daily rate is eight (8) working hours. If less than eight (8) hours are worked per day, these shall be invoiced on a pro rata basis. If an hourly rate has been agreed, hours started shall be remunerated on a pro rata basis. Travel time, travel expenses, material costs and/or incidental expenses shall be compensated in accordance with the contractual agreement.

C.8.2 If a total price or project price is specified in the case of payment by effort, this shall be deemed to be the cost framework or the upper limit of the approved project budget, and compensation shall only be invoiced for services actually rendered, unless expressly agreed otherwise in the contract. Contractor shall inform us, without being requested to do so, of the processing status and the expected remaining workload when the cost framework has been reached by approx. 50%, 75% and 100% or if it becomes apparent that there are obstacles to the complete performance of the service within the cost framework. Irrespective of this, the Contractor shall be obliged to provide the agreed service in full even if the cost framework is exceeded.

C.8.3 Remuneration at the lump-sum fixed price shall be settled after performance of the service. Partial payments shall be made as agreed in the contract.

C.8.4 Remuneration on effort shall be invoiced monthly in arrears, unless otherwise agreed. The settlement of compensation on an effort shall be subject to Contractor submitting to us in due time, at the latest together with the invoice, signed evidence of the services rendered and the other costs claimed.

C.9 Insurance cover

Contractor must have the insurance cover as requested by us or, if no request is made by us, a customary market liability insurance in its scope for professional providers of the contractual services from a member state of the EU or a comparable insurance at the place of performance, and prove to us upon request.

Contractor shall maintain this insurance coverage until the end of the IT service contract. If Contractor fails to comply with this obligation, we shall be entitled to terminate the contract after setting a reasonable deadline to no avail if we can no longer reasonably be expected to adhere to the contract. Further claims, in particular claims for damages, shall remain unaffected by this.

C.10 Term and termination

If the duration of the contract has neither been agreed nor can be inferred from the nature or purpose of the contractual services, it may be terminated in whole or in part by either party with one month's notice to the end of a calendar month, but no earlier than the end of a minimum contract period agreed in the contract. A different period of notice may be agreed in the contract.
