Penton Media GmbH Advertising price list Nr. 7 Valid from 1.7.2008

Terms and Conditions
to unpaid interest charges, and finally to the invoice specified.
If the customer does not comply with his payment obligations according to contract, if his payment is
in arrears, or if he exceeds the payment deadline, or other circumstances become known that call into
question his creditworthiness and thereby endanger the payment demands, payment can be demanded
regardless of existing oral agreements about extensions and installment payments through
discounted bank draft prepayments for contracted advertisements, as well as immediate payment of
all invoices open as well as not yet due; and the advertising contracts that are still running can be
cancelled.
The customer is only entitled to compensation, withholding, or decreasing payment if his claims are
recognized or the counterclaims are legally determined.
10. Delays
With the exception of firmly arranged fixed dates of publication, a delay may be said to occur only when
the customer has set in writing a grace period of at least one month. If the publishing house falls behind,
it bears obligations for damages in the case of light negligence in the amount of 0,5% for every
complete week of delay not, however, to exceed 50% of the value of the advertisement affected by the
delay. Claims exceeding this are only applicable in cases of intentional or gross negligence.
If the delay continues for longer than three months, the customer is entitled after a reasonable grace
period to cancel the unfulfilled part of the contract. If the delivery time is extended or the publishing
house is freed of its obligation by the cancellation of the contract, the customer will have no claims for
damages.
11. Liability Regulations with Material Defects and Defects of Title
The publishing house guarantees the best possible reproduction of the advertisement corresponding to
the usual technical standards of the printing industry, within the framework of possibilities of the material
to be printed. Claims fall under the statute of limitations in 12 months. This period begins with
the day of the appearance of the advertisement.
The customer is responsible for checking the published advertisement immediately and reporting any
defects within a week of publication.
If there is a defect caused by the publishing house, the customer is entitled to a substitute advertisement
in the next possible issue. If the publisher fails to fulfill this obligation within an appropriate period
of time, the customer can, after setting another deadline, withdraw from the contract or reduce the
advertising price.
The post-fulfillment claims are the entitlement of only the customer and cannot be transferred.
12. Limitations of Liability
The publishing house has unlimited liability only for intentional and gross negligence, in the case of
negligent breach of duty as well as for losses resulting in loss of life, bodily injury, or impairment of
health. In the case of light negligence, the publishing house is responsible for damages including lost
profits only by the violation of such obligations on whose fulfillment the customer might rely in special
measure. According to the size, the liability is limited in this case to the damages typical to the nature
of such contracts and in such cases foreseeable and not controllable by the customer.
13. Jurisdiction and Place of Execution
Jurisdiction and place of execution is the seat of the publishing house in München. This applies only if
the customer belongs to the businessmen for the purposes of §§ 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 HGB, or is, in accordance
with § 38 paragraphs I ZPO, a legal entity of the public law or publicly legal separate estate or
if his domicile or usual place of residence is unknown at the time of the filing of an action or if his domicile
or usual place of residence is moved after closure of the contract from the area of jurisdiction of
the law or the customer has no general jurisdiction at home. The publishing house is, however, also
entitled to sue in the customer’s seat of jurisdiction. The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply
in all legal relations existing between the parties.
14. Miscellaneous
Should one or more regulations of these terms of trade or a regulation within the framework of other
agreements be or become ineffective, the validity of all other regulations or agreements will not be affected
by this. Invalid or missing clauses are to be replaced as a substitute by effective clauses that
are equal to the desired purpose through the help of the appropriate legal regulations.
