This website is owned and operated by the company sb solutions Hendrik Schulte-Bahrenberg e.K.. Our office is located and officially registered in Sundernholz 29, 45134 Essen, Germany. Via our website wmexperts.online we provide consulting services by which our team delivers educational support with the objective to enable our customers to solve their SAP software related problems and requests on their own. Our service is focused on delivering knowledge rather than solving customers problems without directly involving them into the implementation process.

Within the following paragraphs we refer to our company by the terms “sb solutions”, “Contractor”, “we”, “us” or “our”. We will use the terms “user”, “Principal”, “you” or “member” which refer to any user or viewer of the site.

§ 1 Subject Matter of Contract

(1) The Principal mandates the Contractor with a consulting service related to SAP warehouse management products.

(2) Content and scope of the performance owed by the Contractor are described in the Solution-Concept which is attached to the request by the Contractor as a response to the Principal’s order.

(3) Once you create a request and approve our Solution-Concept (which is intended to solve your request/problem) you (as a company or as a trade conducting freelancer) conclude a contract with us. The following paragraphs describe the terms and conditions of this contract

(4) The Contractor has the right to engage subcontractors for the fulfillment of the contract.

§ 2 Remuneration

(1) For the provision of the consulting service the Contractor shall receive a fixed remuneration plus statutory V.A.T (V.A.T. may vary based on the principal’s billing address country). The amount for the remuneration is provided in € (Euro) as part of the Solution-Concept (which is attached to the request by the Contractor as a response to the Principal’s order).

(2) If the parties agree upon an additional performance which is not determined pursuant to § 1 para. 2, the Contractor is entitled to additional remuneration. This additional remuneration must be announced prior to the beginning of the exercise of the additional performance (and confirmed by the Principal by actively commenting or changing the request’s status).

§ 3 Delivery Dates

The Contractor shall observe the latest possible due date set by the Principal as part of the request. If a delay in delivery leads to damages or loss of profit, the Principal shall announce this in the request.

§ 4 Acceptance of the Completed Work

In case the service is delivered in compliance with the Solution-Concept, the acceptance of the completed work shall be accomplished by the Principal by actively changing the request’s status to ‘Approved’. This also means that the Principal is obliged to approve the request unless the solution is not in line with what has been agreed on in the Solution-Concept. The approval cannot be refused due to unessential deficiencies. Not approving the delivered service 14 days past handover is considered as the equivalent of approving the request actively.

§ 5 Payment

(1) The fixed remuneration pursuant to § 2 is due and payable on the day of the acceptance of the completed work pursuant to § 4.

(2) Invoices are due upon receipt without deduction. The payments by the Principal shall be performed within 14 days from the receipt of the invoice. Prerequisite for each payment is that the contract is duly performed. For every week of overdue payments, we charge a contractual penalty of 5 percentage points above European base rate from the total price.

3) For requests exceeding a price threshold of 5000€ a milestone payment of 50% is due and payable once the milestone has been reached. The content of the milestone (explaining what service is to be delivered in order to reach the milestone) is explained in the Solution-Concept (which is attached to the request by the Contractor as a response to the Principal’s order). The performance of each milestone is to be proven by the Contractor. The payments on account do not constitute acceptance of performance and are subject to the reservation of the complete and due performance of the contract.
