TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PAYMENT
Personnel recruitment

Note:
The following applies to the German version only: In order to improve legibility, we have avoided simultaneous use of the
language forms male, female and diverse (m/f/d). All references to people apply equally to all genders.

(Component of the General Terms & Conditions)
A fee is only paid to LOGISTIC PEOPLE (Deutschland) GmbH upon successful personnel procurement and is due with the
candidate’s signing of a contract with the client. We do not charge any administrative fees or request advance payments.
The invoice is payable immediately.

The contractor is entitled to decide on the fees when assigning jobs. Insofar as an option (Version 1 with employment
guarantee or Version 2 without employment guarantee) is not chosen at the time the contract is awarded, Version 1
is deemed stipulated. This fee option can be indicated informally via email/fax or in any other form of writing. Verbal
agreements are explicitly excluded to rule out future disputes.

Our fees are based on the annual revenue of the upcoming year including all special bonuses, such as holiday and
Christmas bonuses, royalties/commission (expected average value), non-cash benefits (company car (according to the
1% rule)), company pension or subsidisation of public transport costs.

Payments are made in strictly net cash.

Version 1
A fee amounting to 27% of subsequent annual revenue, plus 19% VAT, is charged for the personnel recruitment services.

• The first instalment, amounting to 50% of the total fee, is charged upon the finalisation and signing of the contract.
after which instalments of 13.5% are charged.
• The second instalment of 13.5% adds up to 50% of the total fee once the candidate has been employed for three
months.

Our guarantees for fee version 1.

In the event that the employee recruited by LOGISTIC PEOPLE needs to leave the company at the request of the employer
or the employee within three months due to inadequate performance or character, or that the employee quits the role
within the first three months, the second instalment of the total fee will be credited. A refund of the previously due first
instalment of the fee amounting to 13.5% is excluded.

Version 2
A fee amounting to 22% of subsequent annual revenue, plus 19% VAT, is charged for the personnel recruitment services.

• Full commission upon contract conclusion and signing of the contract amounting to 100% of the fee.
• No splitting of fees

Our guarantees for both abovementioned versions

If the future employee, recruited by LOGISTIC PEOPLE, does not take up employment or quits of his or her own accord
prior to employment beginning, the total fee will be credited and no longer be due. Other employment guarantees, other
than the case of failing to take up employment, are excluded.

The agent is not obligated to resume a free search for a replacement.

The claim under guarantee is only provided for by LOGISTIC PEOPLE if the client routinely informs LOGISTIC PEOPLE of
the development of the new employee and asserts the claim under guarantee with LOGISTIC PEOPLE within one week
after the termination or failure to take up employment. A termination of the contract effected by the client for economic
reasons is not deemed covered by the guarantee. Furthermore, a revocation or termination of the contract based on
illness is also not covered by the guarantee.

Additional general stipulations:

The contractor is obligated to inform LOGISTIC PEOPLE as soon as possible, and no more than three days after being
presented with the profile, of whether an applicant profile suggested by LOGISTIC PEOPLE was submitted by the applicant
independently or had already been suggested by another personnel service provider. This obligation extends to speculative
profile presentations, not included in awarded mandates, for vacancies advertised publicly by the client. The same applies
if filling the vacant position is no longer relevant or the vacant position is to be otherwise filled.

Charges for additional expenses

The following expenses are additionally charged on a time and material basis:

• Trips are only made by the agency after prior approval by the client. Settlement of travel expenses based on submitted
receipts.
• Candidates’ travel expenses are only reimbursed after prior approval by the client. The amount of reimbursement
complies with the client’s current travel policy; in any case with the legal provisions.
• Advertisements in print media such as DVZ, etc. or in other print media. However, these are only made in coordination
with the contractor.

 3. Recruitment during the term of a labour leasing agreement
For a recruitment order that initially starts via personnel leasing and results in the employee receiving an employment
contract, the fee amounts to 27% of the year’s revenue. If the duration of the personnel leasing is extended, LOGISTIC
PEOPLE will allow special conditions as outlined below. If the employee is taken on within
• the first two months – 27% of annual revenue
• the third month – 20% of annual revenue
• the fourth month – 17.5% of annual revenue
• the fifth month – 15% of annual revenue
• the sixth month – 12.5% of annual revenue (equivalent to 50% discount)
• the seventh month – 7.5% of annual revenue
• the eighth month – 5% of annual revenue
• the ninth month – 2.5% of annual revenue
After nine months have elapsed in full, recruitment fees no longer apply. The date the employee is taken on is the date of
the new contractual relationship.

4. Recruitment following a labour leasing agreement

If a temporary employee initially terminates employment with LOGISTIC PEOPLE or if this employment ends based on
a time limitation and if an employment relationship is established in the course of the following six months with the
client or a company economically or legally linked to the client, both parties mutually agree, that this new employment
relationship was established by the procurement or substantiation of LOGISTIC PEOPLE. This also applies in the event that
the temporary employee merely interviewed with the client but was not leased, as well as in the event that the temporary
employee/candidate is employed for a position other than the initially intended one.

In cases such as this, a fee amounting to 27% of annual revenue shall be deemed as agreed.

Depending on the previous duration of the personnel leasing, LOGISTIC PEOPLE will allow special conditions as outlined
below. If the employee is taken on

• after two months of leasing – 27% of annual revenue
• after three months of leasing – 20% of annual revenue
• after four months of leasing – 17.5% of annual revenue
• after five months of leasing – 15% of annual revenue
• after sixths month of leasing – 12.5% of annual revenue (equivalent to 50% discount)
• after seven months of leasing – 7.5% of annual revenue
• after eighth months of leasing – 5% of annual revenue
• after nine months of leasing – 2.5% of annual revenue

Once 9 months of prior labour leasing have elapsed in full, a recruitment fee is no longer charged.

5. All fees listed here apply to personnel recruitment services within the Federal Republic of Germany. The fees for
recruitment services within European and non-European countries are subject to prior negotiation.

6. Furthermore, solely the current General Terms and Conditions of LOGISTIC PEOPLE apply, which can be viewed at any
time on the website or upon request, be sent to you.

To be effective, any deviations require written confirmation from LOGISTIC PEOPLE.

1. The employer commissions LOGISTIC PEOPLE to search, on his behalf, for an applicant with particular qualifications for a particular activity within the remit of personnel recruitment services. LOGISTIC PEOPLE devises methods to locate personnel at their own discretion. Adverts are placed upon consultation. These Terms and Conditions are included in any agreement concerning a concluded order.

2. The employer is required to inform LOGISTIC PEOPLE immediately, if a applicant proposed by LOGISTIC PEOPLE has already been or is proposed by another recruiter. The same applies if the requirement to fill the workplace has lapsed or the workplace has been filled otherwise.

3. The requirements profile, discussed as part of the contract between the employer and LOGISTIC PEOPLE as well as the order documents provided are the basis of the recruitment of personnel.

4. The employer is required to inform LOGISTIC PEOPLE immediately in writing of the conclusion of an employment contract and its terms as well as the failure to reach such an agreement with the applicants provided.

References concerning the applicant from any previous or current employers may be obtained only with the express, written permission of the applicant in consultation with the contractor.

9.4 If a contract between the employer or an associated company and employees is concluded on the basis of the afore mentioned proof or due to the recruitment activities of LOGISTIC PEOPLE, this shall provide grounds for a claim for commission, wherein concurrent causation is sufficient. If a job seeker accepts a position, within a period of twelve months, which was initially recruited by LOGISTIC PEOPLE, however on or to other conditions, this is deemed proof of recruitment by LOGISTIC PEOPLE regarding an employment relationship, therefore grounds for commission shall exist.

9.5 The fee mentioned above is also payable, upon conclusion of contracts under the German Commercial Code for freelancers and consultants, if this is offered as a form of employment.

9.6 The fee is also payable, upon conclusion of a contract with a party within the corporate circle (partner, co-partners, affiliates, locations, etc.).

12. In the event that individual provisions of this agreement are or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the rest of the agreement. The parties undertake to replace the invalid provision by a valid provision, which comes closest in law and commercial intent to the invalid provision.

Unless LOGISTIC PEOPLE is entitled to postpone the provision of temporary staff or withdraw from the contract in whole or in part, claims for damages by the employer, irrespective of legal reason are excluded. If the employer is responsible for the impossibility of performance, the statutory provisions shall apply. In the event of delays in the context of labour disputes, in particular strikes and lock-outs, and in the event of other unforeseen circumstances, which are beyond the control of LOGISTIC PEOPLE, LOGISTIC PEOPLE shall be released from performance t for the duration of said circumstance, where such circumstances are proven to prevent the use of temporary staff.

Prices, payment

8. The prices are, unless otherwise expressly agreed and excluding bonuses for overtime, night work, shift work, work on Sundays and holidays, subject to statutory value-added tax. Hourly rates are based on the calculations carried out by LOGISTIC PEOPLE at the time the contract is concluded in accordance with the applicable, tariff-specific salaries and under the assumption that the BZA DGB collective agreement applies. For this reason, LOGISTIC PEOPLE reserves the right to raise the hourly rates in the case of a tariff increase, introduction or modification of statutory minimum wages or in the event of changes to the legal framework governing the remuneration of temporary staff in order to increase the percentage change in the wage costs of the temporary worker. Appropriate tariff increases are also reserved in the event of non-wage labour cost increases and changing market situations. The increase takes effect two weeks after the announcement of a price increase. An announcement of a price increase entitles the employer to terminate the contract, effective with effect from the date of the increase, with a period of one week from receipt of the notice. Temporary staff, who were employed in the last 6 months before the placement by the employer or by an employer associated with the employer within the meaning of § 18 Stock Corporation Act (AktG), will only be provided under the following conditions. In the case of the non-applicability of tariff rules by virtue of § 3 para 1 no. 3 , last sentence AÜG, the employer is required to pay wage costs increased by the percentage change in the hourly rates of temporary staff from the date of eligibility of the temporary staff in question.
