Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions apply to the purchase and use of ENERTARK Research Briefs, Decision Briefs, digital document products, and related add-on services.
§ 1 Scope
These Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts between Ronald Reisener – ENERTARK (hereinafter “ENERTARK”) and its customers relating to digital research briefs, decision briefs, executive editions, full versions, annexes, custom versions, and other digital document products.
Any deviating, conflicting, or supplementary terms of the customer shall apply only if ENERTARK has expressly agreed to them in text form.
§ 2 Business customers only / B2B only
ENERTARK’s offer is directed exclusively to business customers, including companies, self-employed professionals, freelancers, and other customers acting in the course of a commercial or independent professional activity.
By submitting an inquiry, placing an order, or purchasing a product, the customer confirms that they are acting in a business or professional capacity.
§ 3 Subject matter of the contract
The subject matter of the contract consists of digital decision and research documents, including executive editions, full versions, annexes, or custom extensions, in the formats agreed in each case.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, ENERTARK owes delivery of the specific ordered document only, and does not owe ongoing consulting, implementation, training, continuous updates, or project support.
§ 4 Formation of contract
The presentation of products, briefs, or themes on the website does not constitute a binding offer, but an invitation to submit an inquiry or order.
A contract is formed by:
- express order confirmation or confirmation of the inquiry by ENERTARK in text form,
- or provision of the ordered product,
- or issuance of an invoice and acceptance of the order by ENERTARK.
§ 5 Prices and payment
The individually agreed prices shall apply. Unless stated otherwise, all prices are understood as net prices plus applicable VAT.
Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are due without deduction within 14 calendar days from the invoice date.
§ 6 Delivery and provision
Provision is generally made digitally, in particular by email, download link, or another electronic form.
Delivery periods are binding only if they have expressly been confirmed as binding in text form.
§ 7 Rights of use / License
Upon full payment, and unless agreed otherwise, the customer receives a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the purchased document for internal business purposes.
- public disclosure or public making available,
- forwarding to external third parties outside the customer’s own company or the specifically licensed organization,
- resale, sublicensing, or any other form of redistribution,
- use as the customer’s own product, white-label product, or as part of the customer’s own commercial offer.
Rights to trademarks, logos, identifiers, method names, and document structures remain with ENERTARK, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
§ 8 Content, date of information, and no update obligation
The briefs reflect the state of information and assessment as of the respective publication or delivery date.
ENERTARK does not owe continuous updates, maintenance, or automatic new editions unless this has been expressly agreed separately.
§ 9 No substitute for professional advice, no guarantee of success
ENERTARK Research Briefs are standalone decision-support and research documents. They are intended to inform, structure, and support business decisions.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the documents do not constitute legal advice, tax advice, investment advice, implementation advice, or any other individualized professional advice.
ENERTARK does not owe any specific commercial, strategic, operational, or other business result. In particular, ENERTARK does not guarantee that use of a brief will lead to revenue growth, cost savings, market gains, improved rankings, greater visibility, or other business success.
§ 10 Customer responsibility
The customer remains solely responsible for evaluating, selecting, and implementing their own business decisions. This also applies where the brief contains decision options, recommendations, scoring models, prioritizations, or decision matrices.
§ 11 Liability
ENERTARK shall be fully liable in accordance with statutory law in cases of intent and for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health caused by fault.
In cases of gross negligence, ENERTARK shall be liable in accordance with statutory law, unless liability is limited under the following provisions.
In cases of slight negligence, ENERTARK shall only be liable for breach of an essential contractual obligation, and only up to the amount of the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.
To the extent legally permissible, liability for lost profits, lost savings, indirect damages, consequential damages, pure market or success expectations, or other economic disappointments is excluded.
To the extent liability is limited or excluded under these Terms, this shall also apply for the benefit of ENERTARK’s legal representatives, employees, and vicarious agents.
§ 12 Warranty / Defects
Statutory provisions shall apply to digital document products unless a valid deviating provision is made in these Terms.
Obvious defects must be reported by the customer in text form without undue delay after becoming aware of them. ENERTARK must first be given the opportunity to remedy the defect.
§ 13 Confidentiality
To the extent confidential customer information is processed or disclosed in the context of individual engagements, ENERTARK shall treat such information as confidential unless it is publicly known or becomes known without any breach of duty.
§ 14 Reference naming
ENERTARK is only entitled to name the customer as a reference, client, or user of a product with the customer’s express consent.
§ 15 Final provisions
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with the contractual relationship shall, to the extent legally permissible, be the registered place of business of ENERTARK.
Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become wholly or partly invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
