The Mainzelmännchen – still young and modern at 50, and good for advertising
4
Along with ZDF, the Mainzelmännchen will be
celebrating their fiftieth birthday in 2013, and
will therefore no longer meet the conditions
for advertising target audiences according to
the popular definition of these. However, the
little guys certainly won’t be making a shamefaced exit from the advertising scene just because they’re reaching this milestone. In fact,
they will continue to reflect society, and like
today’s ‘best agers’, they will remain active
and carry on living life to the full!
People don’t really turn grey when they reach fifty, and the Mainzelmännchen won’t be either. The Mainzelmännchen have moved with the times
throughout their existence too. Following their black and white beginning,
they appeared in colour for the first time in 1967 and have continued to
evolve in keeping with technological advances ever since. The most recent major change occurred in 2003 when they were relaunched after a
makeover to bring them up-to-date graphically and otherwise.
Despite all these outward changes and developments though, the Mainzelmännchen themselves remain unblemished. You’ll never see the little
fellows fighting, being nasty, being mean, or enraged with envy – which is
good for advertising! After all, if we’re honest, we know that if our favourite programme has just started to get exciting and is then interrupted by
commercials, we get annoyed and sometimes turn the television off to
avoid the adverts.
That doesn’t happen with ZDF. Back in 2005, a representative study conducted by ZDF Werbefernsehen and forsa (Institute for Social Research
and Statistical Analysis) showed very clearly that with their cult status, the
Mainzelmännchen have tremendous emotive potential and help commercials to have a major cognitive effect by playing a massive role in how
viewers remember them. This means that people watch individual commercials with a far more positive mindset and are even more likely to remember their advertising message. The Mainzelmännchen virtually turn
the cacophony of advertising messages in a commercial break into individual adverts which each have a premium position of their own. As a result, viewers don’t feel like they’re being bombarded and therefore watch
the commercial break before continuing with the programme.
Because of all this, the cult status and the guaranteed effect of commercials, the Mainzelmännchen have become such a successful project that
Tele 5 wants to ‘copy’ the concept with Mordillo characters. At ZDF Werbefernsehen we’re not too worried about this, because we believe it will
be impossible for anyone to duplicate every aspect of the success of the
Mainzelmännchen with the same effectiveness over several decades.
Hans-Joachim Strauch
Managing Director of ZDF Werbefernsehen GmbH
Advertising on ZDF – a successful history
1963 Broadcasting begins
On 1st April 1963, ZDF broadcasts for the first time. On just its second day
of broadcasting, ZDF broadcasts its first commercials. The popular Mainzelmännchen inserts have been used to flank advertisements ever since.
The ‘Werbefernsehen’ (television advertising) department is responsible
for the marketing and selling of advertising space.
1967 Pioneer of colour
On 25th August 1967, during the international radio exhibition (IFA – Internationale Funkausstellung) in Berlin, ZDF broadcasts its first commercial
in colour, a 60-second long advertisement for the brand 4711, which explains how the number ‘4711’ was created. With the introduction of colour
television, the jolly Mainzelmännchen appear on the screen in colour,
too, for the first time.
1990 Relaunch of the Mainzelmännchen
The little guys experience their second relaunch and enter the nineties
with a more modern and individual look.
2003 Eternally young Mainzelmännchen
Fresher, cheekier, and slimmer, the new Mainzelmännchen era captures the spirit of the times and increases the amount of attention paid to
commercials. A Mainzelmännchen world with new dramaturgically-oriented stories, new gags, and up-to-date props is created.
5
2008 Foundation of ARD & ZDF Fernsehwerbung GmbH
In order to combine the expertise of Germany’s two public broadcasters,
ZDF and ARD-Werbung SALES & SERVICES GmbH agree to manage sales
via the mutual subsidiary company ARD & ZDF Fernsehwerbung GmbH.
2009 Television advertising subsidiary
ZDF Werbefernsehen GmbH, a subsidiary company wholly owned by ZDF, is
created from the ‘Werbefernsehen’ department. ZDF Werbefernsehen GmbH
moves to its new premises on Erich-Dombrowski-Strasse in May 2010.
2010 Pioneer of picture definition
At 19:21 on 12th February 2010, ZDF fired the starting pistol for advertising
in HD by broadcasting the first German TV advert (Henkel) in HD quality.
2012 Introduction of standardised loudness
Thanks to the standardised loudness levels recommended by EBU R128,
loudness differences in broadcasting schedules and between individual
channels are minimised in Germany from 31.8.2012 onwards. In addition,
the new sound standard promotes sound tweaking techniques in advertisement production and enhances the sound quality of commercials.
2013 ZDF turns 50
In April 2013, ZDF celebrates its fiftieth birthday, which means it is also 50
years since the first commercial was broadcast on ZDF.
2007 Pioneer of widescreen
On 25th June 2007, a commercial for Deutsche Bank is the first German
advert to be broadcast all over the country in 16:9 format.

Classic advertising on ZDF – effective, powerful, and affordable
ZDF …
• offers a high-quality, family-oriented, appealing, and varied early-evening programme schedule with strong brands, making it up-to-date,
true to life, authentic, and informative
• reaches target groups with considerable purchasing power as well as decision-makers with its programmes
Advertising on ZDF
• Short commercial breaks contain fewer competing messages and guarantee that your advert has an exclusive position
This increases the awareness of the individual advertising messages and thus their advertising appeal
• The placement of advertisements within commercial breaks is done manually, which ensures the adverts harmonise
• High-quality formats guarantee a strong reach and therefore make advertising on ZDF attractive and affordable
6
Mainzelmännchen
• The Mainzelmännchen are a strategic instrument which enhance the effect of advertisements
• As popular advert separators, they improve the viewers‘ ability to remember commercials
• They make commercial breaks more entertaining, which increases acceptance of advertising
• They give your advert its own premium position, as each commercial is flanked by the Mainzelmännchen
ZDF Werbefernsehen – a fair partner for you!
Linear pricing structure for advert price calculations
The average length of a commercial in Germany is 16 seconds. Competitors with disproportionate price structures may charge up to
30% more for an advert which is shorter than 30 seconds. ZDF Werbefernsehen always uses its one-second price as the basis for
calculations. Your advert price is therefore calculated by multiplying the one-second price by the length of the commercial.
Free obligatory OTC notice for commercials promoting pharmaceuticals since 2004
Unlike most of our competitors, we have been offering the standard four-second OTC notice for pharmaceutical commercials at a 100% discount
since 2004. Please read point 18 of the Design Guidelines in our General Terms and Conditions for more information on this.
Customers whose advertising requires the use of the OTC notice will save money with ZDF because we do not charge
anything for broadcasting this. Here’s an example calculation:
Your advert price

11,200
Advert length Average price in sec.
per sec. in euros
16 700
OTC notice in sec. in euros

Adverts positioned at the beginning or end of a commercial break free of charge – fair-share principle for advert placement
ZDF Werbefernsehen places adverts according to the following fair-share principle: The basis for the distribution calculation is a
customer’s booked gross volume per month, i.e. the monthly turnover of a customer is viewed in comparison with the total turnover of all booked customers for this month. The percentage derived from this is used to calculate and distribute the proportion (target premium placements) of possible premium placements (first, second, penultimate, and final adverts). This process is
controlled by a computer. The first, second, penultimate and final adverts in the advertising block are weighted equally. In general,
ZDF Werbefernsehen does not charge extra for first or final placements. Adverts are organised manually to ensure that competing
products do not appear one after the other.

2013 Sport
The 2013 sporting year on ZDF
ZDF’s sports calendar is dominated by winter sports from January until
March. In addition to a number of world cup events in ski jumping, alpine
skiing, and Nordic skiing, an abundance of biathlon world cup events will
once again be incorporated into the schedule as well. Highlights of ZDF’s
winter sport coverage include the Alpine World Ski Championships in
Schladming, the Biathlon World Championships in Nove Mesto, and the
Nordic World Ski Championships in Val di Fiemme. Olympic sports take
over in the summer. The world’s top swimmers meet in Barcelona for the
World Aquatics Championships in July. These are followed in August the
World Championships in Athletics in Moscow, another top event.
ZDF’s sport broadcasts guarantee unique live coverage environments for
the clips representing your brand. You will benefit greatly from excellent
commercial break reaches and the economic efficiency of these slots,
which is made possible by our balanced pricing system. We are also offering short slots here which fit into our live broadcasts very well. The
average length of commercial breaks in our sports broadcasts was just
95 seconds in the first half of 2012*.
This varied sports schedule is also garnished with copious amounts of
football. Germany’s national team will be aiming to qualify for the 2014
FIFA World Cup in Brazil, and their campaign includes plenty of matches,
which like the live UEFA Champions League broadcasts, will play a central role in ZDF’s 2013 sports schedule. In addition, Germany’s women
will be going for glory at UEFA Women‘s Euro 2013TM.

2013 Performance/effect
ZDF Werbefernsehen – pioneering work with consumer audiences
How better to measure the market success of an advertising campaign
than through sales? Until recently, the media industry had no 1:1 interpretation of consumption by defined marketing target audiences in the
AGF/GfK television panel. For example, instead of planning for purchasers
of Hohes C fruit juice, advertisers had to fall back, for the most part, on
GPS – the global premium purchaser as an alternative to
14– 49-year-olds
Together with a company called Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung (GfK),
ZDF Werbefernsehen has developed what is known as the Global Shopper Typology (GPS). This typology offers interested parties the perfect
start to planning for target audience buyers. It uses barcode measurements to create an image of the purchasing behaviour of TV viewers
across 284 product groups. GPS is the result of a regularly updated fusion of buyer target groups from the GfK ConsumerScan with the AGF/
GfK television panel. The typology has already been used in advertisers’
marketing, and includes not just buyers of premium and brand names,
but also buyers of special offers and private labels. AGF data licence
holders can obtain the typology free of charge via the ZDF Werbefernsehen standard software for AGF.
*t.o.m. is a joint project between ZDF Werbefernsehen, ARD Werbung Sales & Services, GfK and various media
agencies.
FMCG = fast-moving consumer goods, i.e. consumer goods such as food, personal care products, cleaning
products, etc., which consumers frequently buy.
socio-demographic interpretations such as householders aged 20–49 or
sinus environments. For about the past four years, however, it has been
possible to minimise the associated wastage. Agencies and clients now
have access to a total of three tools that facilitate the 1:1 interpretation
of marketing target audiences into TV media planning.
t.o.m. FMCG* – the tool for individual market segments
t.o.m. FMCG (“TV Optimiser for FMCG Markets”) is the right tool for anyone who wants more detail than that offered by the aggregate image of
consumers provided by GPS: Media planners can currently access 13
shopping baskets of daily necessities, including hot beverages, chocolates and chocolate bars, and dairy products. Different target audience variations can be evaluated within these shopping baskets: As with the GPS
typology, they can on the one hand be assessed by buyer type (premium
brand / brand name / special offer / private label purchasers). On the
other hand, they can be assessed by purchasing frequency (heavy / medium / light purchaser). This enables premium buyers in the hot beverage
product group to be analysed as easily as buyers of specific coffee products, such as roasted coffee or instant coffee, or even buyers of a specific brand, e.g. Dallmayr (roasted coffee). Over 800 products can now be
analysed by t.o.m. FMCG. The tool incorporates all the brands within the
13 product groups which have a buyer reach of at least 5% over the period analysed.
24
t.o.m. pharma – consumer audiences for the OTC market
The third tool is t.o.m. pharma (‘TV Optimiser for Pharma Markets’), a joint
project in the OTC market for medications which can be sold without a prescription. As with GPS and t.o.m. FMCG, the TV media planner receives
target customer groups for the OTC market which they can request from
the AGF / GfK television panel and use for media planning. There are now
a total of 12 market areas to choose from, such as flu remedies, painkillers, and stomachics. It is also possible to analyse purchasers of a total of
seven brands. Alongside GfK Health Care, the lead organisation, companies participating in the project include ZDF Werbefernsehen, ARD-Werbung SALES & SERVICES, the Mediaplus agency group, M+W media,
and MW Office. This group of organisations has exclusive rights of use
over the new target audiences which have been used in media planning
since September 2007.
ZDF – number 1 in the high-end consumer target segment
Analysis shows that ZDF is the most popular channel among premium and
brand product purchasers between 17.00 and 20.00. High-end brands in
the FMCG and OTC sectors find a quality-conscious environment in ZDF,
one that offers – in comparison with age-focused media planning – more
targeted appeal and at far lower CPM.
Our teams in Market and Advertising Research and Media Service would
be happy to help you with further information or in preparing non-binding
sample evaluations.

ZDF Werbefernsehen will calculate and grant only the discounts and rates shown
in the applicable price list. All rates are in euros. Calculation is based on confirmed
bookings. VAT will be invoiced separately.
Group discounts
Group discounts require written confirmation from ZDF Werbefernsehen. Any
application relating to being part of a group concern, and proof thereof, must be
submitted in writing to ZDF Werbefernsehen by 30 June of each calendar year, as no
discounts can otherwise be considered within that year. ZDF Werbefernsehen grants
a group discount for several advertisers if the parent company has a capital share
in the subsidiary of more than 50% on 1 January of the calendar year. Group discounts are applied only for the duration that the subsidiary forms part of the group;
departure from the group must be made known immediately; if a subsidiary leaves
the group during the course of a calendar year, a proportional discount is applied as
applicable. Limited liability companies must provide evidence of their group status
either through confirmation from an accountant or through presentation of their latest annual report; registered partnerships must present a certificate of registration
in the trade registry.
You should also take into account the level of performance and cost-effectiveness in
many target groups compared to our competitors and the exceptional programme
quality – you can find further information on this under ‘Advertising on ZDF’ (page 6)
and ‘Performance/effect’ (page 24). Get in touch with us!

Broadcasting material
ZDF Werbefernsehen must be provided with broadcasting material at least five days
prior to transmission. In certain circumstances, delivery at even shorter notice is
also possible if this has been arranged beforehand.
As broadcasting material for sponsorship is subject to special regulations, please
contact the relevant person directly for details of production and delivery.
Several different designs may be included on one broadcast tape.
More information on EBU R128 is provided at: http://www.zdf-vverbefemsehen.de/

2013 General Terms and Conditions of Business
1– The contract
ZDF Werbefernsehen GmbH (hereafter referred to as ZDF Werbefernsehen) markets exclusively in its own name and on behalf of ZDF. ZDF Werbefernsehen accepts
orders for advertising broadcasts on ZDF based on available broadcast time, the
current valid price list and the following General Terms and Conditions of Business.
Advertising broadcasts must meet legal requirements and the terms of the Rundfunkstaatsvertrag (interstate broadcasting agreement), as well as ZDF guidelines
for advertising and sponsorship.
Once an order has been accepted, ZDF Werbefernsehen will issue a contract in the
form of an order confirmation either in writing or electronic form. The content of the
contract as confirmed by ZDF Werbefernsehen is valid as long as the contractual
partner does not object to the content in writing within three working days of receiving the contract.
An order confirmation is valid for the advertisers named in the contract. The confirmation contains details about the client and contractor, advertiser, booking volume,
commercial length, commercial break and generally the editorial environment as
well.
The booked broadcast date for an advertiser cannot be transferred to another
advertiser or other advertising agency. Exceptions require the agreement of ZDF
Werbefernsehen. ZDF Werbefernsehen reserves the right to forward order confirmations to the customer on request of the customer. Orders will be concluded within
one calendar year. The contractual year is the calendar year.
2–Joint advertising
Joint advertising is not allowed. This includes the integration of social network services. Exceptions are only possible with the agreement of ZDF Werbefernsehen.
28
3– Agentur-Vergütung
ZDF Werbefernsehen will give agencies commission for orders received via an
agency. This fee shall comprise 15% of the net amount due so long as the agency
has provided its client with advertising-related advice and can prove that it has
provided the relevant services.
5– Broadcasting material
Plans and broadcasting material should normally be supplied to ZDF Werbefernsehen by the client at the latest five working days before broadcast. This material
will be checked for viability by ZDF. Any change to this broadcast material requires
approval unless the changes are required in order to meet broadcast standards.
The client shall bear all design costs for broadcasting material (image and sound).
ZDF Werbefernsehen will inform the client immediately giving reasons if the material
is unusable or does not correspond to the contractual specifications.
6– Rejection proviso
ZDF Werbefernsehen reserves the right to refuse to broadcast a commercial because
of its content, origin or technical aspects and based on fact-related reasons, particularly if the content does not meet moral or legal specifications or conflicts with the
interests of ZDF.
If broadcasting material is returned for reasons for which ZDF is responsible, the
client can withdraw from the contract. If the client is responsible for the return of the
material, they shall provide a replacement without delay. If the replacement is not
available in time, ZDF Werbefernsehen reserves the right to make a claim for remuneration. If the commercial is broadcast despite notice that material will be returned,
ZDF Werbefernsehen remains entitled to make a claim for remuneration.
7– Responsibility for content
The client bears the responsibility for the content of the sound and images provided
to ZDF Werbefernsehen, is liable for their legal validity and exempts ZDF and ZDF
Werbefernsehen from the claims of third parties.
4– Methods of payment
Invoicing for advertising broadcasts generally occurs in the month before the broadcast, with the invoice date being the fifth day of the month in which the advert is
broadcast. Invoices must be paid in full within 25 days of the invoice date. A 2%
discount is given for discounts made within ten days. A discount is not offered for
sponsoring.
ZDF Werbefernsehen reserves the right to demand payment in advance, particularly
in the case of first-time contracting partners. Payment must be received at least three
working days before the first transmission date, and the discount rule does apply in
this case too.
The final invoice for the broadcast month is drawn up on the first working day of the
following month. If there are any differences resulting from changes to bookings or
different discount terms have been agreed, these will be invoiced or credited separately. Payment must be made within ten days. The 2% discount is applicable here as
well. Credit notes must be redeemed. If this is not possible, a payment will be made.
If the invoice with the credit note has had a discount deducted, the corresponding
discount amount will also be deducted from the credit note. If a payment is late, ZDF
Werbefernsehen reserves the right to stop the broadcast of the advertisement(s) or
withdraw from the contract completely. In this case, the client is not entitled to seek
compensation. The client is liable for any damages caused by the delay to ZDF Werbefernsehen.
If a cheque is sent, the date of payment is the date the cheque is received by ZDF
Werbefernsehen. For bank transfers, the date of payment is the date on which the
amount is credited to the following account:
ZDF Werbefernsehen GmbH
Commerzbank AG
Sort code: 550 400 22
Account no.: 200 360 600
8– Rights of use
(1) For the commercial provided to ZDF Werbefernsehen, the client shall transfer
the rights – including time, location and content-related aspects – required for implementation of the order in the Federal Republic of Germany to ZDF, as well as
the right to broadcast the commercial via broadcast media of all types. This right
includes the range of broadcast programmes, including live streaming in every technical manner available (including the use of Internet protocols: ‘IP-TV’), particularly
• Terrestrial (e.g. via DVB-T, DVB-H, DMB or corresponding successor technology,
e.g. DXB),
• Via cable (in every technical manner possible, e.g. broadband, DSL or corresponding successor technology (X-DSL), including rights to integral cable retransmission of programmes at home and abroad), and
• Via satellite broadcasts.
(2) Excluded from the acquisition of rights via the client are the rights for the music
contained within the commercial that are exercised by GEMA (Society for Musical
Performing and Mechanical Reproduction Rights) and transferred to ZDF.
(3) The client guarantees that ZDF Werbefernsehen will only be sent broadcast material for advertising broadcasts for which they have acquired and manage all the
necessary copyright and usage rights as specified in section (1). To enable invoices
between GEMA and ZDF to be settled, the client must provide ZDF with the following
information about the music used in the commercial in writing: the music title, the
length of music title used, the composer, the lyricist, the editor, the music publisher,
the artist, the brand and the label code. This information must be included in the
design plans or in the broadcasting material.
9– Positioning
ZDF Werbefernsehen does not guarantee specific positioning within a commercial
break. It also does not guarantee that competitors will be excluded either within a
commercial break or in the special ads or sponsorship that appears in close proxi­mity to the commercial break.

ww
2013 General Terms and Conditions of Business
10– Broadcast confirmation
Following the end of the broadcasting month, the client will receive broadcast confirmation with information about actual broadcasting time, the respective commercial break and the topics broadcast.
11– Planning times/delaying of advertising broadcast
Agreed broadcast times will be adhered to if possible. If a commercial cannot be
broadcast in the specified commercial break or in the specified editorial environment, ZDF can broadcast it in accordance with other conditions if the client agrees.
Agreement is not required in the case of minor postponements. Postponement of a
commercial is considered minor if it broadcast in a commercial break not more than
15 minutes before or after the original point in time when it should have been broadcast. This does not include a postponement due to the transmission of a live sporting event. In this case, the tolerance period can exceed 15 minutes if necessary.
If an agreement could not be secured or it was not given at a later point, the client
can request a replacement broadcast for the same conditions subject to availability.
If this is not possible, the client is entitled to a reduced price depending on the
scope of the defective performance or reduced service.
12– Delays due to identity of individuals
ZDF Werbefernsehen reserves the right to broadcast commercials on another
broadcasting day at the same time if possible if personalities appear in the commercial who also appear on a ZDF programme on the same day.
For major sporting events, there are special conditions for participating players,
trainers and managers which will be communicated at the time the offer is made.
13– Guarantee
If ZDF Werbefernsehen supplies a reduced service which is outside its control, the
customer’s rights under warranty are restricted to a choice of retransmission at a
comparable time or a reduction in rate corresponding to the extent of the reduced
service. A reduced service occurs, e.g. if more than 10% of the technical reach recorded for the IVW audit is not achieved, or if transmission is of reduced quality.
Apart from this, the customer may not assert any claims, in particular due to failure
of satellite broadcasting. The relevant cable network operators are responsible for
feeding the regionally suitable TV signals into the German cable network. Liability on
the part of ZDF Werbefernsehen is excluded in this respect. In the case of a slightly
negligent breach of fundamental obligations, ZDF Werbefernsehen is liable only to
the amount of typically foreseeable damage. The customer’s right to claim under
warranty expires after 12 months.
14– Force majeure
Either party may withdraw from the contract with immediate effect in the case of
force majeure, unless ZDF Werbefernsehen has already completed its services.
ZDF Werbefernsehen is obliged to reimburse the customer the fee charged for
commercials that were not broadcast. The client is not entitled to make any further claims. Force majeure includes riots, fire, power failure, natural disasters,
storm damage, strikes, lockouts, damage due to construction work and similar
events that the contractual parties are not responsible for.
15– Cancellation
The client can withdraw from the contract at no cost provided they cancel the
order, either in whole or in part, in writing no later than six weeks before the first
broadcast date. If the client cancels later than this, then the legal regulations as
described in §649 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code apply.
The right to cancel does not apply to bookings for advertisements to be broadcast
in a sports environment, special ads (solo commercials, split-screen commercials,
etc.) and sponsorship.
30
16– Price changes
Any changes to the broadcast price will come into force for ongoing orders at the
earliest a month after the client has been informed. In such a case, the client can
withdraw from the contract at the point in time at which the change to the contract
is due to take place. In this case, the client must inform ZDF Werbefernsehen in
writing within two weeks of receiving notice of the change.
ZDF Werbefernsehen reserves the right to charge surcharges to the listed prices for
booking commercials as part of the broadcasting of events in which there is great
public interest.
17– References in other advertising mediums
Reference made to an advertising broadcast on ZDF may only be made in other
advertising media if it is made clear that the advertising broadcast is not part of a
general television programme broadcast, but is broadcast as part of the advertising
schedule. Statements that connect advertising broadcasts with ZDF are not permitted. The use of the ZDF Werbefernsehen logo requires approval of ZDF Werbefernsehen.
18– OTC notice
In the case of advertisements for medicinal products as defined under § 4 (3) of the
Drugs Advertising Act (HWG), ZDF will broadcast the mandatory OTC notice free of
charge provided it complies with the standard recommended by the OWM advertising association or BAH association of drug manufacturers (grey background, white
text, exactly four seconds long, maintains neutrality in the sense of containing no
promotional statements). There will be a charge for OTC notices that deviate from
this standard. Please note that details concerning minimum booking lengths for
special ads on the price lists are exclusive of the free four-second legal notice.
19– Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential all information and data that they receive
from the other contractual partner for the implementation of this contract and also
not to pass this information and data onto third parties. This also applies once the
contract has ended.
Publications of all kinds that arise as a result of the cooperation are only permitted
with prior agreement from both parties. ZDF Werbefernsehen has the right to use
the name of the client, its brand and logo, as well as information about the order for
reference purposes, subject to the above confidentiality obligations.
20– Calculation of performance levels
31 The basis for calculation of performance levels (viewer distribution/CPT) is the AGF/
GfK Germany + EU Panel.
21– Liability clause
Provided there are no provisions to the contrary in these General Terms and Conditions of Business, ZDF Werbefernsehen is only liable for client damages in accor­dance with the following provisions:
• If ZDF Werbefernsehen, its legal representatives or assistants acted wilfully or with gross negligence,
• In cases of slight negligence in the event of explicit assumption of a guarantee,
and
• In the case of breach of fundamental obligations which the customer would
firmly expect to be fulfilled.
For slightly negligent violations of essential obligations, ZDF Werbefernsehen’s
liability is limited to typically foreseeable damages.
Liability for subsequent damages, e.g. loss of profit, missed savings and other indirect damages, is excluded unless the purpose of the contract is jeopardised.
22– Final provisions
Place of fulfilment and jurisdiction is Mainz.
If any individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Business are
or become ineffective, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions or
agreements. The parties shall replace the ineffective provision by an effective one
which approximates the economic purpose of the ineffective provision as closely as
possible. The same applies in the case of a loophole in the contract.
