II. CONTRACT CONCLUSION AND SUBJECT MATTER

III. LEAD AGENCY AND GENERAL CONTRACTOR SERVICES

1. As a Lead Agency and General Contractor, the Supplier coordinates all necessary trades and subcontractors for the implementation of the project.

1. The Principal is obligated to support the Supplier in the fulfillment of its services. This includes, in particular, the timely provision of information, data, logos, and approvals.

4. The Supplier is entitled to use the project results for its own promotion (e.g., website, portfolio) unless otherwise agreed in writing.

VIII. ACCEPTANCE AND WARRANTY

1. A formal acceptance protocol shall be created upon completion of the stand or service. Minor defects do not entitle the Principal to refuse acceptance.
