Cooperation requires fair rules.
All business relationships between Speakers Management / Peak Media GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) and the Client relating to the conception, organization, planning and implementation of face-to-face and online events (including services provided by speakers, presenters, artists and online experts) or the procurement of third-party services (speakers, presenters, artists, directors, technical experts) shall be governed exclusively by these GTCs.
The details of the order shall be agreed with the client in a separate written order in accordance with these GTC. The services to be provided by the Contractor shall be specified in detail in the respective individual order. Ancillary agreements or amendments that change the scope of the contractual services must be made in writing. This also applies to changes to the aforementioned written form requirement.
The teams at Peak Media GmbH in Switzerland and MEET Live GmbH in Germany are happy to work for you, but not for free. The Speakers Management Agency is a consulting company and SME (small business) and charges for its services. We treat your inquiries to the Speakers Management Agency or one of the other sites for the placement of speakers and personalities as an order to the Speakers Management Agency and pass these inquiries on to an internal project team. Each request is given a project number. Should you as a customer look for and book an expert or keynote speaker elsewhere or terminate the project before booking, the Speakers Management Agency / Peak Media GmbH reserves the right to charge you project costs of at least EUR 750 plus VAT. When booking an expert or speaker with the Speakers Management Agency / Peak Media GmbH, the project costs will be offset against the commission achieved.
The Client is obliged to support the Contractor in the fulfillment of its performance obligations in an appropriate manner and in compliance with all relevant legal provisions. This includes in particular, but is not limited to, the timely provision of all information, data material, advertising material, technical aids, etc. that are required for the provision of services and/or are a necessary component of the agreed services. The client shall comply with the obligation to cooperate in a timely manner and without being requested to do so. Any costs for the acts of cooperation shall be borne by the client.
In the case of an online event, the client shall provide the contractor with all records, documents and recordings (photos, films, clips, etc.) as well as all data to be included in the production in connection with the live stream no later than two working days before the dress rehearsal.
The Client assures and ensures that it is the owner of the rights of use and ownership/property rights to any content required for the performance of the Contractor’s services and that any rights of use required for the performance of the order can be granted by the Contractor to the extent necessary without infringing the rights of third parties. The Client shall indemnify the Contractor against all claims in the event of alleged or proven infringements of third-party rights. This shall also include legal costs.
The Client shall be obliged to comply with all legal requirements (in particular, but not limited to, assembly, noise, fire and data protection regulations) for the preparation and execution of the order, as well as to obtain any necessary permits and to notify the Contractor of the permit conditions in good time.
The Client shall provide the Contractor with one or more contact persons and thereby ensure constant and prompt communication for the planning, preparation, organization and execution of the event. The Contractor must be informed immediately of any changes to the contact person.
The client shall bear all taxes, duties, GEMA fees and other fees and expenses (KSK, VG Wort, image rights, etc.). The Contractor undertakes to make the corresponding registrations and payments to and from the collecting societies.
Unless otherwise agreed in advance in the respective order, the client shall bear the travel and accommodation costs and expenses of persons whose presence on site is required for the planning, preparation, organization and/or implementation of the event.
The Client shall take out the necessary insurance for the event and shall provide the Contractor with confirmation of this upon request. The Client shall assign its claims against the insurance company to the Contractor. Private events are excluded from this provision.
The Client shall check the concept or planning of the event immediately after it has been submitted by the Contractor and shall notify the Contractor of any complaints/defects in writing without delay. Defects that are not obvious must be reported in writing immediately after their discovery.
The Client agrees that the Contractor may name the order as a reference (including the name and logo of the Client) if and insofar as nothing else is agreed.
If, from the Client’s point of view, a change in the content and scope of the services owed by the Contractor is necessary, the Contractor and the Client shall agree on an adjustment to the contract that takes into account the additional work and the time delay resulting from the change in services. If no contract adjustment is reached, the Contractor shall be entitled to reject the request for a change in performance.
The start, duration and termination of the order shall be specified separately in the respective individual order between the Client and the Contractor and shall become an integral part of the contract.
Information on data protection can be found in the separate data protection declaration, which is made available to the Client online via the speakers-management.com website when the individual order is concluded.
The Contractor is obliged to treat as confidential all confidential information of which it becomes aware in connection with the order, unless and insofar as the Client releases the Contractor from its duty of confidentiality. This provision shall continue to apply after the end of the individual order.
Insofar as the Contractor acts as an intermediary, the Client undertakes not to conclude any contracts directly with the intermediary contact for a period of 36 months. In the event of any breach of the aforementioned obligation, the Contractor shall be treated as if it had brokered the conclusion of the contract. This includes a corresponding claim for payment of the brokerage fee that the Client would have paid for a corresponding brokerage by the Contractor. The assertion of further claims for damages remains unaffected by the above provision.
