2. Applicability
2.1 These terms and conditions apply to every quote, offer or contract between the Other Party and Eyeforce, in so far as the parties have not explicitly deviated from these terms and conditions in writing.
2.2 If there has not been explicit deviation from any written provision in these terms and conditions, these terms and conditions prevail over any terms and conditions which the Other Party wishes to apply.
2.3 The terms and conditions also apply to follow-up assignments in the event the terms and conditions applied to an earlier assignment.
2.4 If one or more provisions in these general terms and conditions at any time turn out to be void or voidable in whole or in part, the other provisions of these general terms and conditions will continue to apply in full. The Other Party and Eyeforce will then agree new provisions to replace the void or voidable provisions in consultation, whereby the goal and purport of the original provisions is observed as much as possible.
2.5 If there is a lack of clarity on the interpretation of one or more provisions of these general terms and conditions, the interpretation must be in accordance with the spirit of these provisions.
2.6 If Eyeforce does not always demand strict compliance with a provision, this does not mean that Eyeforce loses the right to demand strict compliance with these provisions in other cases.

If a quote or offer contains an offer without commitment and it is accepted by the Other Party, Eyeforce has the right to revoke the offer at latest two working days after receipt of the acceptance.
3.2 Apparent mistakes or typos in the offer or quote do not bind Eyeforce in any way. Eyeforce is always authorised to rectify such apparent typos and mistakes.

3.5 If the acceptance by the Other Party deviates on essential points from the offer, the contract will first be made if Eyeforce has explicitly agreed to these deviations in writing.

3.7 Quotes, offers and/or prices do not automatically apply to follow-up assignments.
