1. The brokerage contract between the customer and us is concluded either by written agreement or by the utilisation of our brokerage services on the basis of or in the knowledge of the commission payable for the successful brokerage/proving activity. Unless the circumstances or deviating agreements indicate otherwise, the contract shall have a term of six months and shall be automatically extended by a further month in each case unless one of the contracting parties has given one month's notice of cancellation before the end of the contract. 2.

2. The customer is not authorised to commission other brokers with brokerage and/or verification activities concerning the contractual property during the term of the brokerage contract with us. In the event of a culpable breach of this provision, the customer shall be liable to us for any losses incurred as a result.

3. Our brokerage and/or verification activities are carried out on the basis of the information and data provided to us by our contractual partners or other authorised parties. No liability is assumed for this. Errors and/or prior sale or letting are reserved.

4. Provided there is no conflict of interest, we are also authorised to act for the other party to the main contract subject to commission.

5. If a rental agreement is concluded between the parties to the main contract for the contractual property instead of the originally intended purchase agreement or vice versa as a result of our brokerage and/or verification activities, this shall not affect the commission claim. The usual brokerage fee within the meaning of Section 653 (2) BGB shall then be deemed owed.

6. If the customer is aware of the contractual opportunity regarding the offered contractual property and the contractual readiness of the other party to the main contract (prior knowledge) when the brokerage contract is concluded or if he obtains this knowledge from a third party during the term of the brokerage contract, he must inform us of this immediately.

7. Our property exposés, the property/contract-related information provided by us as well as our entire brokerage and/or verification activity is/are intended exclusively for the customer(s) addressed in each case as the recipient. The client is obliged to handle the information confidentially after conclusion of the brokerage contract and not to pass it on to third parties. If the customer culpably breaches this obligation, he shall be liable to us for damages if the success of our brokerage and/or verification activities does not materialise as a result. If the main contract is concluded with a third party as a result of the unauthorised disclosure of the information, the customer shall be liable to us for payment of the lost commission. 8.

8. The commission claim is due within the meaning of § 652 para. 1 BGB upon conclusion of the effective main contract, if the main contract is based on our contractual brokerage activity. The customer is obliged to inform us immediately when, for what fee and with which parties the main contract was concluded. The obligation to provide information shall not be affected by the fact that the main contract is subject to a condition precedent and this has not yet materialised.

9. The customer may only assert rights of retention or set-off against our commission claim if the customer's claims are based on the same contractual relationship (brokerage contract) or if other claims are undisputed or legally enforceable.

10. We do not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

11. The place of jurisdiction for any disputes arising from the contractual relationship (brokerage contract) shall be the registered office of the broker, provided that the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. If the customer is a consumer (§ 13 BGB) who has no general place of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany, the broker's registered office shall also be the non-exclusive place of jurisdiction. If the customer (consumer) moves his place of residence or habitual abode outside Germany after the brokerage contract has been concluded or if the customer's place of residence or habitual abode is not known at the time of any legal action being brought, the place of jurisdiction shall also be the broker's registered office. Exclusive places of jurisdiction, in particular for judicial dunning proceedings, shall remain unaffected by the above provisions.
