In this case, the contracting partner acquires a simple (non-exclusive and non-precluded), non-transferable (assignable) permission of use for the explicitly agreed purpose and within the agreed limits (circulation figures, time and local restrictions, etc.). In case of doubt, the extent of use stated in the invoice or delivery note shall be decisive. In any case, the contractual partner shall only acquire those rights which correspond in their extent to the disclosed purpose of the contract (order placed).
