General terms and conditions

Terms

Last updated: 27 May 2026. The legally binding version is the German terms. The following is a working translation for convenience.

§ 1 Scope

These terms apply to all contracts between bytebrise (operator Jakob Serfözö, address in the Imprint) and clients regarding services of the bytebrise green brand (carbon audit, optimisation, CSRD reporting).

§ 2 Conclusion of contract

Offers are non-binding. A contract is formed by written order confirmation (email is sufficient). The confirmation text is authoritative.

§ 3 Services

  1. Carbon audit: one-off measurement of the client website, PDF report with recommendations, 30-minute walk-through call. Delivery in 5 working days after order confirmation.
  2. Optimisation: technical implementation of audit recommendations following a detailed fixed-price quote. Delivery 2–4 weeks depending on scope.
  3. CSRD reporting: quarterly measurement and reports over the contract term. Minimum term 12 months.

§ 4 Client cooperation

The client ensures that the website to be audited is publicly accessible and that no robots.txt rule blocks our crawler. Server-side access is provided by the client where needed.

§ 5 Prices and payment

Prices are as stated in the offer. bytebrise operates under § 19 UStG (small-business rule) — prices are final, no VAT is added.

  • Audit packages: invoiced with order confirmation, payment terms 14 days net.
  • Optimisation projects: 50 % at order confirmation, 50 % at acceptance.
  • CSRD reporting: monthly invoice in advance, payment terms 14 days net.

§ 6 Rights of use

The client receives a non-exclusive, time-unlimited right of use to the delivered reports and optimised website. Methodology IP remains with bytebrise.

§ 7 Liability

For light negligence, bytebrise is liable only for breach of essential contractual duties and only up to the typical foreseeable damage. Consequential damage liability is capped at the contract value. Intent and gross negligence remain unrestricted.

Carbon estimates are model calculations based on the Sustainable Web Design Model with documented uncertainty margins. They are not certified measurements in any legal sense. For CSRD reports, the client remains responsible for correct submission to auditors and authorities.

§ 8 Termination of recurring services

CSRD reporting contracts can be terminated after the 12-month minimum term with 3 months notice to the end of a quarter.

§ 9 Final provisions

German law applies, with the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods excluded. Place of jurisdiction is Fürstenfeldbruck where the client is a merchant.

If any provision is invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected.
