This concerns in particular the utilization of company-specific information that is accessible in connection with contract performance and service provision, having an adverse effect on a contract party, the commercial or free distribution of intellectual property of any kind by one of the contract parties, the initiation of business relationships with the goal of undercutting and damaging supplier relations and conditions, as well as to directly or indirectly recruit, within a period of 12 months, employees who are entrusted with the provision of services in the course of the business relationship.
10.2 THI GmbH is entitled in the course of service provision to take all permissible measures to protect know-how and intellectual property as well as specific procedures or knowledge of their company vis-a-vis the Customer or third parties, unless the communication of such information is explicitly part of the contract, or statutory provisions make the transfer or disclosure compulsory.
11. Miscellaneous provisions
11.1 Should individual provisions or parts of provisions of these General Terms and Conditions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining terms and conditions shall not be affected. The contract parties shall work together cooperatively to find a provision that comes as close as possible to the ineffective provision.
