The platform offers various functions for the management, booking and processing of appointments. The individual functions are listed on the company's website(website) or within the platform and may vary depending on the subscription model selected (see section 3.2).
3.2 Subscription models
The company provides the customer with the functions of the platform(functions) selected via the website or in the platform or described in the offer or a written agreement.
The platform can be used in different models of subscriptions(subscription models), which differ in terms of different modules (see section 3.3) and/or limits (see section 3.5) and other functions.
3.3 Clients and modules
A client is an isolated, self-contained customer instance with its own data and settings within the platform. Unless otherwise agreed, each customer is assigned one (1) mandate.
A module is a specific, self-contained functional unit of the platform that can supplement the basic functionalities of the platform (e.g. Azure AD Connector module, CRM Sync module, data protection module). Modules can be used by users in accordance with the rights of their user role (see section 8.2).
3.4 Interfaces ("API")
The Company may provide software interfaces ("API") as part of the Platform that enable the Customer to access or use third-party applications, software solutions, network, websites, databases or other information via the Platform. The Customer's access to and use of such third party services is subject to the terms, disclaimers and policies of the relevant third party provider. The Company is not responsible or liable for the services of such third parties and makes no warranties in this regard.
The company's software interface, via which third-party services can be connected to the platform by the customer himself, is only made available to the customer for a fee and subject to corresponding contractual obligations.
3.5 Limits
Depending on the subscription model, the use of the platform by the customer or the company's services in connection with the platform is limited to a certain number(e.g. number of users, number of sub-units for the allocation of users, calendars and other resources (so-called "branches"), number of included support hours)(limits). The limits are defined on the website or in the platform or in the offer or a written agreement.
The Company may monitor the Client's use of the Platform to ensure compliance with the limits. If the Customer exceeds the applicable limits, the following applies: a) the Customer must pay a higher price in accordance with the relevant subscription model for the relevant term and b) the Company may temporarily suspend the Customer's access to the Platform until compliance with the limits is restored or the higher price is paid.

3.8 Usage information
The Company may collect information about the Customer's use of the Platform, including information about the type and number of views of the Platform and individual content.

The test system is to be paid for separately by the customer. Unless otherwise agreed, the license price for the test system is the same price as the price for the productive platform based on the number of users permitted on the test system.
Unless otherwise agreed, the test system is set up as a separate client. It initially comprises the same configurations, data and functions as the productive system at the time the test system is created. The test system will be regularly overwritten with the configurations, data and functions of the productive system, whereby this will be announced with reasonable lead time via the Calenso website.

The customer is not entitled to compensation or similar compensation if the company does not adhere to such specified times.
5 Services
5.1 Provision
If specified in the offer or a written agreement, the company offers services in connection with the platform (e.g. on-boarding of employees to the platform, training, further development).

Work results produced by the company for the customer as part of a service must be inspected by the customer within 14 days of handover to the customer. Without written notification from the customer within this period, the work results shall be deemed to have been accepted in full and free of defects.
6 Price
6.1 Platform
The price for the use of the platform(license price) is determined by the subscription model selected by the customer. The customer pays for the use of the platform at the price specified during the ordering process on the website or in the platform or in the offer or a written agreement.
Unless otherwise stated, the price is per month per customer. Unless otherwise stated, the price is in CHF and excludes any VAT.
6.2 Support
Support services are - depending on the subscription model up to the specified limit - generally included in the price for using the platform. Support services that exceed the specified limit will be provided and charged as services.
Binding support response times are only possible for a corresponding surcharge and if explicitly agreed in a written agreement (see section 6.3).
6.3 "Service Level Agreement"
Customers who require binding response times can conclude an additional agreement with the company for a corresponding surcharge (so-called "Service Level Agreement"). The price, the response times and the consequences of non-compliance are set out in the service level agreement.
6.4 Services
Unless otherwise agreed, services shall be invoiced on a time and material basis. Any costs stated in the offer or in a written agreement are to be understood as rough cost estimates (and neither as a cost ceiling nor as a fixed price).
The applicable hourly rates for services are defined by the company in the offer or in a written agreement.
7 Terms of payment
7.1 Method and time of payment
The customer pays the price using the payment method specified or selected during the ordering process on the website or on the platform (in particular credit card).
License prices and any other recurring prices (e.g. prices as part of a service level agreement with a corresponding written agreement) must be paid in advance unless otherwise agreed. The payment obligation for the license price starts at the time when the Platform is made available to the Customer ready for operation (i.e. as soon as the Customer's client has been set up with the basic setup and the Customer has been provided with an initial user login) and in particular irrespective of the actual start of use by the Customer and irrespective of whether services still have to be provided by Calenso (e.g. customer-specific further developments, parameterizations).
Invoices for services are due 30 days after receipt of the invoice. The company may demand payment in advance.
7.2 Discounts and benefits
Any discounts and benefits shall only apply if all payments are made on time. In the event of late payment, the entitlement to discounts and benefits expires on the first day that payment is not made on time and the full price becomes due retrospectively.
7.3 Delivery of the invoice
Company invoices are sent by e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the customer on the platform or are available for download directly from the platform.
7.4 Late payment
If the customer does not meet his payment obligations on time, he must pay additional interest of five percent per month on the outstanding amount. The company may also charge a reminder fee of 1% (min. CHF 50) per invoice.
If the customer has not met his payment obligations on time even after the expiry of a period of five days set in writing, the company may block access to the platform until all outstanding invoices have been paid in full. This blocking does not release the customer from the obligation to pay the full license price for the duration of the blocking.

Unless expressly stated in these GTC, in the offer or during the ordering process on the Company's website or on the Platform, all payment obligations are binding (i.e. non-cancellable) and amounts paid are non-refundable.

The platform offers various functions for the management, booking and processing of appointments. The individual functions are listed on the company's website(website) or within the platform and may vary depending on the subscription model selected (see section 3.2).
3.2 Subscription models
The company provides the customer with the functions of the platform(functions) selected via the website or in the platform or described in the offer or a written agreement.
The platform can be used in different models of subscriptions(subscription models), which differ in terms of different modules (see section 3.3) and/or limits (see section 3.5) and other functions.
3.3 Clients and modules
A client is an isolated, self-contained customer instance with its own data and settings within the platform. Unless otherwise agreed, each customer is assigned one (1) mandate.
A module is a specific, self-contained functional unit of the platform that can supplement the basic functionalities of the platform (e.g. Azure AD Connector module, CRM Sync module, data protection module). Modules can be used by users in accordance with the rights of their user role (see section 8.2).
3.4 Interfaces ("API")
The Company may provide software interfaces ("API") as part of the Platform that enable the Customer to access or use third-party applications, software solutions, network, websites, databases or other information via the Platform. The Customer's access to and use of such third party services is subject to the terms, disclaimers and policies of the relevant third party provider. The Company is not responsible or liable for the services of such third parties and makes no warranties in this regard.
The company's software interface, via which third-party services can be connected to the platform by the customer himself, is only made available to the customer for a fee and subject to corresponding contractual obligations.
3.5 Limits
Depending on the subscription model, the use of the platform by the customer or the company's services in connection with the platform is limited to a certain number(e.g. number of users, number of sub-units for the allocation of users, calendars and other resources (so-called "branches"), number of included support hours)(limits). The limits are defined on the website or in the platform or in the offer or a written agreement.
The Company may monitor the Client's use of the Platform to ensure compliance with the limits. If the Customer exceeds the applicable limits, the following applies: a) the Customer must pay a higher price in accordance with the relevant subscription model for the relevant term and b) the Company may temporarily suspend the Customer's access to the Platform until compliance with the limits is restored or the higher price is paid.
3.6 AI functions
The company may use artificial intelligence (AI) technologies within the platform to extend or improve the functionalities of the platform. The company provides its own AI technologies or those of subcontractors (see section 16) or offers the option of accessing services with AI functions from third-party providers via software interfaces (see section 3.4).
3.7 Control
The Company may monitor the Customer's use of the Platform in order to check and ensure the quality, security and compliance with these GTC, including through the use of technical measures.

Upon request, the Customer shall provide the Company with all documents that the Company reasonably requires in order to be able to check the Customer's compliance with these GTC or the contract.
3.8 Usage information
The Company may collect information about the Customer's use of the Platform, including information about the type and number of views of the Platform and individual content. The customer agrees that the company may anonymize the information about the use of the platform and subsequently use it to improve the platform and other products and services of the company.
3.9 Test system
If explicitly agreed, the company shall provide the customer with a test system for the platform. The test system may only be used by the customer for test purposes, for training and for evaluating new functions. Use for other purposes, in particular in day-to-day operations, is not permitted.
The test system is to be paid for separately by the customer. Unless otherwise agreed, the license price for the test system is the same price as the price for the productive platform based on the number of users permitted on the test system.
Unless otherwise agreed, the test system is set up as a separate client. It initially comprises the same configurations, data and functions as the productive system at the time the test system is created. The test system will be regularly overwritten with the configurations, data and functions of the productive system, whereby this will be announced with reasonable lead time via the Calenso website. The Customer bears sole responsibility for transferring data stored in the Test System to the Productive System in good time prior to the overwriting.

4.3 Support
Times stated on the website or in the customer profile for answering support requests or resolving problems are to be understood as indicative times and are not binding for the company, unless this is explicitly stated in the offer or a written agreement. The customer is not entitled to compensation or similar compensation if the company does not adhere to such specified times.
5 Services
5.1 Provision
If specified in the offer or a written agreement, the company offers services in connection with the platform (e.g. on-boarding of employees to the platform, training, further development).

5.2 Acceptance
Work results produced by the company for the customer as part of a service must be inspected by the customer within 14 days of handover to the customer. Without written notification from the customer within this period, the work results shall be deemed to have been accepted in full and free of defects.
6 Price
6.1 Platform
The price for the use of the platform(license price) is determined by the subscription model selected by the customer. The customer pays for the use of the platform at the price specified during the ordering process on the website or in the platform or in the offer or a written agreement.
Unless otherwise stated, the price is per month per customer. Unless otherwise stated, the price is in CHF and excludes any VAT.
6.2 Support
Support services are - depending on the subscription model up to the specified limit - generally included in the price for using the platform. Support services that exceed the specified limit will be provided and charged as services.
Binding support response times are only possible for a corresponding surcharge and if explicitly agreed in a written agreement (see section 6.3).
6.3 "Service Level Agreement"
Customers who require binding response times can conclude an additional agreement with the company for a corresponding surcharge (so-called "Service Level Agreement"). The price, the response times and the consequences of non-compliance are set out in the service level agreement.
6.4 Services
Unless otherwise agreed, services shall be invoiced on a time and material basis. Any costs stated in the offer or in a written agreement are to be understood as rough cost estimates (and neither as a cost ceiling nor as a fixed price).
The applicable hourly rates for services are defined by the company in the offer or in a written agreement.
7 Terms of payment
7.1 Method and time of payment
The customer pays the price using the payment method specified or selected during the ordering process on the website or on the platform (in particular credit card).
License prices and any other recurring prices (e.g. prices as part of a service level agreement with a corresponding written agreement) must be paid in advance unless otherwise agreed. The payment obligation for the license price starts at the time when the Platform is made available to the Customer ready for operation (i.e. as soon as the Customer's client has been set up with the basic setup and the Customer has been provided with an initial user login) and in particular irrespective of the actual start of use by the Customer and irrespective of whether services still have to be provided by Calenso (e.g. customer-specific further developments, parameterizations).
Invoices for services are due 30 days after receipt of the invoice. The company may demand payment in advance.
7.2 Discounts and benefits
Any discounts and benefits shall only apply if all payments are made on time. In the event of late payment, the entitlement to discounts and benefits expires on the first day that payment is not made on time and the full price becomes due retrospectively.
7.3 Delivery of the invoice
Company invoices are sent by e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the customer on the platform or are available for download directly from the platform.
7.4 Late payment
If the customer does not meet his payment obligations on time, he must pay additional interest of five percent per month on the outstanding amount. The company may also charge a reminder fee of 1% (min. CHF 50) per invoice.
If the customer has not met his payment obligations on time even after the expiry of a period of five days set in writing, the company may block access to the platform until all outstanding invoices have been paid in full. This blocking does not release the customer from the obligation to pay the full license price for the duration of the blocking.
7.5 Reimbursement
Unless expressly stated in these GTC, in the offer or during the ordering process on the Company's website or on the Platform, all payment obligations are binding (i.e. non-cancellable) and amounts paid are non-refundable.

Users may be assigned several user roles. The licensing of the user role is - unless otherwise stated on the website or in the offer - included in the license price of the respective user.
