1.3. Purchasing terms or other terms and conditions of the Client are not valid and are explicitly not accepted by Reha Technology.

The information required for the production of individual software must be provided by the Client prior to conclusion of the contract.

13. Final provisions

13.1. Should any provision of these GTC be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Ineffective provisions shall be replaced by the contracting parties by a provision that comes closest to the ineffective provision and is customary in the industry.

13.2. Place of jurisdiction is Olten, Switzerland.

13.3. The parties agree to apply Swiss law and the Incoterms 2010 of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
