Terms and Conditions
Krüger Consulting · Last updated: 19 August 2026
The German version of these Terms and Conditions is the authoritative version. This English version is provided for convenience.
1. Scope
These Terms and Conditions apply to consulting, concept development, analysis, project and related services provided by Krüger Consulting, sole proprietorship, proprietor Stefan Georg Krüger, Basel, Switzerland, to business clients. Individual written agreements and the specific offer take precedence in the event of a conflict.
The confidentiality and usage-right provisions also apply to information, presentations, analyses and concepts shared during the pre-contractual phase, provided the recipient has been informed of and accepted these provisions before disclosure.
2. Offers and contracts
Unless stated otherwise, offers are non-binding and valid for the period specified in the offer. A contract is concluded by written acceptance, written confirmation or another clear agreement between the parties.
3. Consulting services
Krüger Consulting performs the agreed services with professional care and on the basis of information available at the relevant time. Consulting, analyses, assessments, recommendations and concepts do not guarantee a specific commercial or organisational outcome. Business decisions and implementation remain the client's responsibility.
4. Client cooperation
The client provides the information, documents, access and contacts required for the agreed services in a timely manner. Krüger Consulting may generally rely on information supplied by the client unless there are obvious indications to the contrary.
5. Fees and payment
Fees are governed by the relevant offer or individual agreement. Unless stated otherwise, prices are in Swiss francs plus any legally applicable VAT. Agreed travel, accommodation and external costs may be charged separately. Invoices are due within 20 days unless otherwise agreed.
6. Timing
Agreed timelines depend on timely client cooperation. In the event of force majeure or circumstances outside Krüger Consulting's reasonable control, deadlines are extended appropriately.
7. Third parties
Krüger Consulting may involve suitable specialists, partners or other assistants where appropriate. Persons receiving confidential information are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations. Additional costs are charged only within the scope of the agreed engagement.
8. Mutual confidentiality
Both parties treat all non-public confidential information received in connection with a potential or actual engagement as confidential and use it only for the purpose for which it was disclosed. Disclosure to third parties requires prior written approval unless disclosure is legally required or made to personnel or assistants who need the information and are bound by confidentiality.
The confidentiality obligation continues for five years after the end of the relationship. Trade and business secrets remain confidential for as long as they retain their confidential character.
9. Concepts, materials and usage rights
Rights in concepts, presentations, analyses, models, methods, texts, templates, processes, frameworks, calculations and other work products remain with Krüger Consulting unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Before an engagement is concluded, such materials may be used only for the client's internal evaluation of the offer. Implementation, further use, modification, reproduction, publication or disclosure to third parties is not permitted without prior written approval from Krüger Consulting.
After full payment, and unless otherwise agreed, the client receives a non-exclusive right to use client-specific deliverables for the agreed internal business purpose. General know-how, methods, frameworks, templates and reusable components remain with Krüger Consulting.
10. Data protection
Both parties comply with applicable data protection requirements. Further information is provided in the Privacy Policy.
11. Liability
Krüger Consulting is liable for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence within mandatory legal limits. To the extent permitted by law, liability for slight negligence, indirect or consequential damage, lost profits, lost savings and third-party claims is excluded. The client remains responsible for business decisions and implementation.
12. Termination
Termination is governed by the relevant agreement and mandatory law. Where the legal relationship qualifies as a mandate under Swiss law, mandatory termination rights remain reserved. Services already performed and agreed expenses remain payable.
13. Final provisions
If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain unaffected. Substantive Swiss law applies exclusively. The place of jurisdiction is, to the extent legally permissible, the registered place of business of Krüger Consulting.
