2.1 ScoutsLand provides a cloud-based SaaS platform for data-driven football scouting, live data, analytics, watchlists, and scouting reports. Content, data feeds, and statistics may derive from third parties.

13.4 Individual provision invalidity does not affect the remaining contract. Statutory provisions replace invalid provisions.

These conditions cover individual software development offers, deliveries, and services. Conflicting Customer terms don't apply unless expressly agreed in text form.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed, development services are services per §§ 611 ff. BGB. Where work is explicitly owed subject to acceptance, work contract law applies (§§ 631 ff. BGB); this must be clearly designated in offers.

Conception, design, development, adaptation, integration, and/or individual software operation are covered.

Scope, milestones, deliverables, compensation, and acceptance (if applicable) derive from offers/performance descriptions.

A contract forms only through written or text-form order confirmation from ScoutsLand (§ 126b BGB suffices, e.g., email).

Offers and attachments are confidential and cannot be disclosed to third parties without consent.

The Customer provides all necessary information, access, content (texts, logos, data, API keys) in a timely manner.

Where ScoutsLand delivers drafts/concepts/release statuses, the Customer approves within 5 business days in text form or specifies concrete defects/corrections. No response means approval.

The Customer reports errors immediately in text form with sufficient description (timing, reproducibility, logs).

Binding deadlines require express text-form agreement.

Delays from force majeure, third-party outages, missing cooperation, scope changes, or unforeseen technical dependencies yield appropriate deadline extension.

Where work performance is agreed, ScoutsLand delivers the final version in the agreed format (Repository, Build, Deploy).

The Customer reviews within 10 business days and declares acceptance in text form or names substantial defects. No response means acceptance if the Customer productively uses the performance.

ScoutsLand grants the Customer agreed usage rights in project-created work results. Without express agreement, a simple, non-transferable usage right applies.

Usage rights arise conditionally, contingent on full payment (§ 158 Abs. 1 BGB).

ScoutsLand may continue freely using general knowledge, concepts, reusable components, and own libraries.

ScoutsLand may name the project as a reference unless the Customer objects for justified reasons (NDA/sensitive projects).

Compensation is flat-rate or time-based (hourly). Time-based billing occurs in 15-minute units.

ScoutsLand may demand appropriate advance payment for flat-rates (e.g., 1/3). Payment terms: 14 days post-invoice.

Excess work is compensable, particularly for: change requests after approval, missing Customer cooperation, and scope expansions.
