2. Entering into Agreements

The Terms cover all agreements between the Company and the Customer. Agreements are made primarily by usual correspondence or via the Platform.

The Terms also cover all agreements between the Company's Partners ("Partners") and the Customer ("Partner Agreements"). In this case, the agreement will continue to be administered through the Platform and the Terms shall apply, with the change that the contracting party is not the Company but an agreement entered into directly with the Partner in question. In the case of Partner Agreements, the offer will indicate that it is a Partner Agreement.

An order is only considered accepted and thereby binding for the Company when a valid offer from the Company or Partner has been accepted.

An offer is valid for the following periods, after which it expires:

Enterprise: 90 days
Service: 90 days
Foodstuffs: 90 days
Events: 30 days
Corporate Gifts: 30 days, but only while stocks last.
Other: 30 days

An offer is based on all known conditions provided by the Customer and – in relation to Enterprise and Service – possibly inspected.

An offer does not include work on public holidays, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the Company/Partner and the Customer.

Acceptance of the offer after the offer has expired, or acceptance on terms inconsistent with the offer, shall be considered a new offer by the Customer.

Enterprise agreements are not entered into for the performance of work in estimates or on invoice unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, cf. however section 3.

A long-term agreement must be understood as an agreement where the services must be performed for a minimum of 2 consecutive months ("Long-Term Agreements"). Agreements entered into within Service and Foodstuffs must generally be regarded as Long-Term Agreements, unless otherwise agreed.

Long-Term Agreements can be terminated with the notice period set out in the Terms, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.

3.1 Changes and Additional Services

If the Customer wishes to acquire additional services ("Additional Services"), the Customer must request an updated offer for the Additional Services. The updated offer must be submitted and accepted.

To the extent that the work has been ordered but an offer has not been submitted or accepted prior to its execution, the Additional Services will be settled according to the prices applicable at any time.

Guru Credits have a fixed value of EUR 1 per credit and are applied before VAT and the Service Fee. Credits are valid for 12 months from the date of issuance and are automatically deleted upon expiry. The balance in the Customer's wallet can never be negative, and Credits are deducted automatically according to the first-expiry principle. Guru Credits cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred to other customers, or used for payments outside the Officeguru platform.

When the Customer accepts a Loyalty Agreement, it is legally binding for the entire agreed term. The Customer may not unilaterally terminate the agreement before expiry, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing with Officeguru.

The Customer may only exit a Loyalty Agreement early in the following cases:

The Customer's company is declared insolvent or enters into restructuring proceedings.
The Customer's company permanently relocates to a location where the agreed services can no longer be delivered.
The Customer's company ceases operations permanently.

If the Customer wishes to exit a Loyalty Agreement early for the above reasons, Officeguru is entitled to offset the value of the Guru Credits and/or other benefits granted at the beginning of the agreement. Such offsetting is made according to the value of the Credits/benefits at the time of issuance. Any remaining claims from Officeguru after offsetting may be charged to the Customer.

Officeguru reserves the right to adjust, remove, or revoke Credits in cases of error, misuse, or termination of binding agreements. Officeguru also reserves the right to amend or discontinue the loyalty program; however, this will not affect already concluded Loyalty Agreements during their agreed term.

The Customer has consented to the above by digital acceptance.
