Terms of service

1. Provider and acceptance

These terms apply to the website and consultation services supplied by Techworkgrid, Level 9, 41 Leopoldstraße, Munich 80802. By booking a service, you accept the written proposal, these terms and any scope-specific conditions. Website browsing alone does not create a consulting engagement.

2. Nature of the service

Techworkgrid provides factual analysis, education and non-binding guidance concerning indicators relevant to freelance and employee status in Germany. We are not a law firm or tax-advisory practice. Services exclude legal representation, binding authority decisions, tax returns, payroll correction and advice reserved to regulated professionals.

3. Formation and scope

An engagement begins only when we confirm scope and price in writing and any requested advance payment is received. The proposal identifies the relationship, documents, interviews and deliverables covered. Material outside that scope requires a separate estimate.

4. Client responsibilities

You must provide accurate, complete and timely information; identify deadlines; have authority to share supplied documents; and redact irrelevant personal or confidential data. You remain responsible for decisions, filings and obtaining specialist advice. We may suspend work where information is misleading, unlawful to share or creates a conflict.

5. Fees and payment

Fees are stated in euros and include VAT where indicated. Private-client fees are normally due before work begins. Approved company invoices are due within 14 days. Reasonable pre-agreed travel, translation or third-party costs are additional.

6. Appointments and delivery

Delivery estimates begin when all agreed material is received. Dates may change if the scope expands or responses are delayed. Video-call clients are responsible for a suitable connection and private setting. Cancellation and rescheduling are governed by the refund policy.

7. Intellectual property

Website text, branding and assessment formats remain our intellectual property. After full payment, you may use a deliverable internally for the engagement assessed and share it confidentially with your professional advisers or the relevant authority. You may not resell, publish or adapt it as a template without written permission.

8. Confidentiality

Each party will protect non-public information received for the engagement and use it only for the agreed purpose, subject to legal disclosure duties. Confidentiality does not cover information already lawfully known, independently developed or public without breach.

9. No guaranteed outcome

Status depends on the complete facts and the view of competent authorities or courts. We do not guarantee a classification, procedural result or absence of contributions, tax, penalties or employment claims. A report reflects information available on its date.

10. Liability

We are liable without limit for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, and liability that cannot legally be excluded. For negligent breach of an essential contractual duty, liability is limited to foreseeable loss typical for this service. Otherwise, liability for ordinary negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by German law.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate for material breach after a reasonable opportunity to remedy, unless immediate termination is justified. You must pay for properly completed work and committed non-cancellable costs. Confidentiality, payment, IP and liability terms survive.

12. Governing law and disputes

German law applies, excluding conflict rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protections remain unaffected. Where legally permissible, Munich is the place of jurisdiction. Consumers may bring claims in the courts available under mandatory law.
