Terms of Service

Last updated November 8, 2024

Agreement to terms

These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you") and Christian Diederich ("I", "me", or "my"). It concerns the use of my consulting service.

I am registered in Germany and have my office at Heinrich-Mann-Str. 1, 44141 Dortmund. My VAT number is DE342566558.

You assure me that the use of my service complies with the applicable laws in your country and that you have unlimited legal capacity.

Changes to the Terms of Service

I reserve the right, at my sole discretion, to change the Terms of Service at any time. You will be notified of any change via email.

By submitting my service, you automatically agree to any changes to the Terms of Service.

Scope of service

I help you develop software using web technologies. This includes the development of software itself, general consulting activities, coordination meetings and training.

In principle, I am free to decide when I work for you or when I use your consulting hours. Of course, I take into account your schedules and deadlines as much as possible.

At the end of each monthly billing period, you will receive a summary of which days I worked on what and for how long.

Calculation of consulting hours

The moment you subscribe to my service, your billing period of one month begins. It always ends on the same day of the following months, or alternatively the next possible day before.

For example, billing periods for a subscription start on 30.12.:

Within this period, I allocate 15/30/60 hours (consulting package S/M/L) for you and your assignments.

For every day that I am idle due to reasons for which I am not accountable, for example, because no tasks have been assigned to me that I can work on, 0.5/1/2 consulting hours (consulting package S/M/L) will be forfeited without compensation for the current billing period.

If consulting hours are left at the end of the billing period, for example, because I am delayed in completing the tasks, the hours will be transferred to the next billing period.

Term and Termination

Both you and I can cancel the subscription at any time to the end of the monthly billing period. Potential remaining consulting hours from the previous month will be reimbursed at 90 € per hour.

Proprietary Rights and Responsibilities

You can use everything I provide (software, code, documentation, etc.) without restriction, even after the consulting service (subscription) has ended.

I do not guarantee or make any promises regarding business impacts or results. I merely offer my time to help you as best as possible.

Privacy Policy

The following Privacy Policy applies: www.diede.dev/privacy-policy

Limitations of liability

In no event will I be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including lost profit, lost revenue, loss of data, or other damages arising.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, my liability to you for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to us during the six-month period prior to any cause of action arising. Certain US state laws and international laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers or limitations may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.
