An offer from Luxxion consists of a quotation relating to an assignment, in which the proposed method of working is briefly stated and a price is estimated as set out in Article 10 hereinbelow.
All quotations and offers from Luxxion are made under appropriate applicability of these general terms and conditions, both for the offer, as well as for any other agreements concluded on the basis of the offer. Application of the general terms and conditions invoked by the Client is expressly rejected by Luxxion. General or exceptional terms of the Client are likewise excluded, particularly insofar as the terms relate to payment, settlement or the right to pledge or assignment of claims by Luxxion against Clients.

Luxxion shall prepare an estimate with regard to the assignment, in which the proposed method of working is briefly stated and a price is estimated.
If necessary, the estimate shall include details of the fee (on the basis) of the rates charged by Luxxion and all additional costs.
If, when preparing the estimate, specific costsor cost items are not calculable, because, for example, they are dependent on the progress of the project or on quotations from third parties, or otherwise not predictable with certainty, they can be included for future reference. These costs shall be passed on afterwards, with reasonableness.
The estimate can be altered by Luxxion if and insofar as it was based on circumstances, or facts that subsequently changed.
Luxxion shall be entitled to exceed the issued estimate by a maximum of ten (10) percent without prior consultation.
After it is sent, the Client shall sign the Luxxion estimate for approval and send it back to Luxxion. Such a statement of approval may not be sent by email.
