Place of fulfilment is the registered place of business of the Agent. The court at the Agent\u2019s registered place of business shall be competent in any disputes.<\/span><\/p>

13.4 In the event that any disputes, which cannot be solved by mutual agreement, arise from this Contract, the Parties to the contract agree to engage a listed mediator (Austrian Civil Rights Mediation Law (ZivMediatG)) specialized in business mediation from the list of the Austrian Ministry of Justice in order to reconcile these out of court. Should no mutual agreement regarding the selection of the business mediator or with regard to content be possible, legal measures shall be initiated no sooner than one month after the negotiations fail.<\/span><\/p>
