Contracts for the services offered are concluded exclusively on the basis of these General Terms and Conditions in the version valid at the time of conclusion of the contract.
Any general terms and conditions of the client that deviate from von Wrede Relocation's General Terms and Conditions shall not apply unless von Wrede Relocation consents to them in writing.

von Wrede Relocation shall be entitled to invoice 30% of the agreed fee as a down payment when the order is placed and to invoice the remaining 70% at the end of the order. Payment terms: 30 days. The end of the order is considered to be the complete provision of the agreed service. In the case of the search for accommodation or kita/ school search, this is the conclusion of a contract by the Principal/ Service Recipient or the existence of a contract offer that meets the search criteria, even if the latter is rejected by the Principal/ Service Recipient. If the total number of agreed viewings has been carried out and/or the Principal/ Service Recipient has not attended the viewing, the search shall also be deemed to have been completed.
