2.3 Konen & Lorenzen will make every effort to find and recruit the best possible candidate for the client and the advertised job, and to carry out the entrusted tasks to the satisfaction of the client. If, nevertheless, damages resulting from the work of Konen and Lorenzen are incurred by the client, the following applies irrespective of the legal grounds: In case of a significant breach of contract, Konen & Lorenzen is liable up to the maximum amount of the fee paid by the client to Konen & Lorenzen for this contract, unless an intentional or grossly negligent breach of contractual obligations has taken place. Konen & Lorenzen is only liable for the violation of non-essential contractual obligations in cases of malicious intent or gross negligence. Konen & Lorenzen is only liable for grossly negligent breaches of duty up to the amount of the damage that was predictable for Konen & Lorenzen at the time of the conclusion of the contract, and taking into account all circumstances that were known or culpably unknown to Konen & Lorenzen.

Expenses, including travel costs incurred at the request of the client, will be charged separately.

The consent to forward this information to Konen & Lorenzen has been granted by the candidate in accordance with the GDPR. If the employment contract is concluded under other than the agreed terms or the proposed candidate is employed in a different position or/and in an affiliated company, this shall not affect the fee claim of Konen & Lorenzen.

3.4 If the client or an affiliated company employs a candidate proposed by Konen & Lorenzen at a later time (within 12 months) – whether for the same position or a position different to the one initially advertised – a fee entitlement remains in place in accordance with Clause 3.1 also in this case.

At the time of termination, already issued individual search mandates initially remain unaffected, which means that they will still be processed unless a cancellation of the individual mandate takes place within the meaning of Clause 1.4.
