Terms & Conditions

Last updated: February 2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern the relationship between HC Media Consulting ("we", "us", "our") and any client or visitor ("you") who engages our services or uses our website. Please read them carefully.

Email: [your@email.com]

2. Scope

These Terms apply to the use of our website and to any services provided by HC Media Consulting under a separate written agreement ("Service Agreement"). In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a Service Agreement, the Service Agreement prevails.

3. Services

The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for any engagement will be set out in a Service Agreement signed by both parties. No work will begin until a Service Agreement is in place. We reserve the right to decline any enquiry at our discretion.

4. Payment

Fees and payment terms are specified in the applicable Service Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed:

  • Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date.
  • Late payments may incur statutory interest under the German Late Payment Act (Verzugszinsen, § 288 BGB).
  • We reserve the right to suspend services if payment is overdue by more than 14 days after written notice.

5. Intellectual Property

All work product, strategies, reports, and creative materials produced by us under a Service Agreement become your property upon full payment of all outstanding fees. Until that point, all intellectual property rights remain with HC Media Consulting.

You grant us a non-exclusive licence to use your brand assets, materials, and account access solely as required to perform the agreed services.

6. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary or sensitive information disclosed during the engagement and not to disclose it to third parties without prior written consent, except as required by law. This obligation survives termination of the engagement.

7. Your Responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete information required for us to perform the services.
  • Respond to reasonable requests for feedback, approvals, or materials in a timely manner.
  • Ensure that any materials you provide do not infringe third-party rights.
  • Comply with all applicable platform policies (e.g. Google Ads, Meta) relevant to your campaigns.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by German law, our total liability to you for any losses arising from or in connection with the services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you in the three months preceding the claim.

We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or loss-of-profit damages, or for results dependent on factors outside our reasonable control, including third-party platform changes, algorithm updates, or market conditions.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under German law.

9. Termination

Either party may terminate a Service Agreement by giving written notice as specified in that agreement. Upon termination, you shall pay for all work completed up to the termination date. We will deliver all completed work product upon receipt of final payment.

10. Website Use

Our website is provided for informational purposes only. We make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate and up to date but make no warranties as to completeness or fitness for any particular purpose. We are not liable for any loss arising from reliance on information on this website.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Any disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Germany, without prejudice to your rights as a consumer under applicable mandatory EU law.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Material changes to Service Agreements require written agreement from both parties.
