General
Terms and Conditions (AGB)
1. Conclusion of the Brokerage Agreement
Unless the statutory written form pursuant to Section 656a of the German Civil Code (BGB) is required, a brokerage agreement between VON VELTHEIM REAL ESTATE (hereinafter referred to as “Broker”) and the prospective client (hereinafter referred to as “Client”) is concluded as soon as the Client makes use of our services or contacts us in connection with one of our listings.
2. Brokerage Commission
If a notarized purchase agreement is concluded, the customer undertakes to pay a brokerage commission based on the full purchase price. If there is a double transaction for buyer and seller and the buyer is a consumer, both parties pay the same commission in accordance with Section 656c BGB. Alternative forms of acquisition, such as a knockdown in an auction or a share purchase, are also deemed to be subject to commission. In the case of rentals, only the landlord bears the commission.
3. Offers and Property Specifications
All our property listings and offers are without obligation and may be subject to change. The information provided is based on details supplied by the owners or sellers. The broker does not assume any liability for the accuracy, completeness, or currency of this information.
4. Previous Knowledge
Should the client already be familiar with a property, they are obliged to notify the broker without delay and, upon request, furnish suitable evidence of prior knowledge.
5. Confidentiality and Prohibition of Disclosure
All information provided by the broker is exclusively intended for the client. Sharing this information with third parties is only allowed with the broker’s express permission. If a third party concludes a contract due to unauthorized disclosure, the initially informed client shall be liable to pay the full commission (plus VAT) as damages.
6. Limitation of Liability
The liability of the broker is limited to the sums insured under the existing liability insurance. This limitation applies to personal injury, property damage, and financial loss alike. For minor negligent breaches of duty, the broker is only liable for foreseeable, typical damages. Claims resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct, or violations of life, body, health, or freedom are excluded.
7. Offsetting and Right of Retention
Offsetting our commission claim is only allowed with counterclaims that have been legally determined or are undisputed. A right of retention may only be exercised in connection with the same contractual relationship.
8. Data protection
The customer agrees that the broker may store, process and - if necessary - pass on to third parties personal data that arise in the course of the business relationship.
9. Copyright
All content on this website—including texts, images, graphics, and property listings—is protected by copyright. Any use exceeding the limits permitted by law requires our prior written consent, especially with regard to reproduction, publication, or electronic distribution. Incorporation of our content into external websites (‘framing’) is only allowed with our permission.
10. Severability Clause and Written Form
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a provision that most closely reflects the economic intent of the original. Any modifications or additions to these Terms and Conditions must be made in writing.
