§ General terms and conditions:

The following terms and conditions are the basis of all services and offers made by KORYTKO® SAS and shall also apply to all future business conditions, even if they are not expressly agreed upon again.

All legal relations between KORYTKO® SAS, hereinafter referred to as the „Contractor“ or „Agency“, and the Customer shall be governed by the laws of the French Republic.

Principle:

The contractor will look after the interests of the customer to the best of his ability. In the spirit of a trustful cooperation, the customer, for his part, will provide the contractor with all data required for the proper completion of the order for strictly confidential treatment.

The Client appreciates and respects the Contractor’s artistic freedom and design and will give him the necessary freedom for creative work.

Both parties are committed to the self-image that all exchanged information will be treated confidentially. Especially insider trading is expressly prohibited and confidential information may not be used for personal benefit!

§ 1  Offers 

1. 1. The scope and content of the services shall in each case be based on the written offers of the Agency, unless the Client and the Agency (hereinafter referred to individually or jointly as „Party(ies)“) have reached a different agreement.
