With this website we want to inform landlords, sellers, property managers and real estate funds (hereinafter "customers") and as well as tenants and buyers (hereinafter "interested parties") of our website about our services.
Please read these terms carefully before using the DUISBERG Group website and services. By using our website or services, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
b) These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") apply to the use of our website and the use of our services.
c) In accordance with the GTC, the client enters into a contractual relationship regarding the marketing of a property with DUISBERG Group. The subject of the contractual relationship can be: i) the preparation of an expert opinion including a living space analysis as well as a property valuation, services along the brokerage process from the preparation of the exposé to the listing of the property in all common property portals, ii) the communication with interested parties, iii) the selection of tenants, iv) the support during negotiations including the organization of a notary appointment and v) the handover of the property to a tenant or purchaser.
a) General DUISBERG Group has freedom of design in the preparation of its services, especially in the preparation of the exposé. DUISBERG Group will include in the exposé the information that is customary and appropriate for the sale or rental of the property. The client can commission DUISBERG Group with a free property valuation. Part of this real estate evaluation is among other things a living space analysis as well as a rough valuation of the real estate in the case of sale or a first rent recommendation in the case of letting.
b) Cost and remuneration structure The preparation of the exposé shall only be subject to a fee if the brokerage is successful as part of the overall service. In the absence of successful mediation, no remuneration shall be due for the preparation of the exposé, unless otherwise agreed in the individual case. The costs of obtaining the information necessary for the preparation of the exposé or other necessary cooperation negotiations shall be borne by the customer. Brokerage orders from commercial clients and for several residential units require an individual agreement, which is made in writing. The commission for rental orders applies per residential unit and only for private persons. The success-based commission for sales orders follows individual agreements between seller and DUISBERG Group or buyer/prospective buyer and DUISBERG Group.
c) Use of Exposé by DUISBERG Group If the cooperation between the client and DUISBERG Group is terminated, DUISBERG Group will destroy or delete the exposé as well as all data, information and materials that DUISBERG Group received from the client or created itself for the creation of the exposé. This does not apply if there are legal obligations to retain data. DUISBERG Group also reserves the right to keep and use materials created by the client in an anonymous form.
d) Inspection of the Property For the purpose of recording, DUISBERG Group will coordinate dates with the client for the inspection of the property (hereinafter referred to as "inspection date"). The client must keep agreed appointments and grant DUISBERG Group access to the property on the inspection date, so that DUISBERG Group can make or carry out the photos and measurements of the property necessary for the preparation of the exposé. Obtaining permission from tenants to take photographs is the responsibility of the seller.
e) Liability for information in the exposé DUISBERG Group assumes no liability for the completeness and accuracy of the information provided in the exposé. The client has to check the exposé carefully and point out any inaccuracies to DUISBERG Group. Furthermore, the photos reflect a condition that existed on the day the photo was taken, which may not necessarily correspond to the condition existing at the time of viewing and handover of the apartment. DUISBERG Group does not assume any liability for the correspondence between the condition depicted in the photos and the conditions arising in the course of the marketing process. The client is responsible for the correctness of the information in the exposé.

This paragraph does not apply to materials that the client provides to DUISBERG Group for the presentation of the property.
c) The use of the content created by DUISBERG Group by the client is permitted exclusively for individual and non-commercial purposes.
