The Partner's data from the form constitutes an integral part of this Agreement.
§2 Subject matter. Cooperation within the international MOTOEXPERT expert network: performing vehicle inspections and damage documentation in the Partner's area of operation, in accordance with the network's quality standard.
§3 Partner status. The Partner is an independent business. This Agreement creates no employment relationship, partnership, or agency. No exclusivity for either party. The Association does not guarantee any volume of assignments.
§4 Type A assignments (inspection for the Association). The Partner performs inspections and documentation (photographs, protocol per the MOTOEXPERT checklist) as a subcontractor; the final report is prepared by the Association. The Partner's fee is agreed per assignment prior to its acceptance. Completion time: 48–72 h from confirmation of acceptance, unless otherwise agreed.
§5 Type B assignments (referred to the Partner). The Partner performs the complete expert service and invoices the end client in its own name. For the referral, the Association is entitled to a commission of 10% of the net fee, settled monthly based on the statement in the network's settlement system.

§7 Quality standard. The Partner operates within the frameworks of DIN EN ISO/IEC 17024 and VDI-MT 5900-2 and the network's checklists and documentation format. The Association has the right to audit the quality of completed assignments. Completion of the standardisation training (e-learning) is a condition of Partner status; Elite status requires an examination and periodic review.
