Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) | | German term or phrase: gegen | Does it mean "against" here? Does that make sense, closing contracts "for" and "against" the other party?
Beide Parteien sind jeweils alleine berechtigt, mit Wirkung für und *gegen* die andere Partei Verträge mit Kunden über die in Punkt 1 beschriebenen Arten von Arbeiten (Kundenverträge) unter Einbeziehung einheitlicher und zwischen den Parteien noch abzustimmender "Allgemeiner Geschäftsbedingungen" abzuschließen.
Both parties shall in each case be solely entitled, to conclude agreements with customers for and against the other party regarding the types of works (customer agreements) described in Paragraph 1 incorporating standardised and as yet to be agreed "General Terms and Conditions of Business" between the parties. |
