Conclusion of contract / duration of the contract / scope of the license

The contract between the customer and the provider is concluded by agreement or informally through the use of the services. The content and scope of services are set out in these GTC or in any individual agreements.

The Provider may make acceptance of the contract dependent on the provision and verification of various data of the Customer, in particular address, e-mail address, etc. The customer guarantees that the information provided is true. In any case, the Provider has the right to refuse to conclude a contract.

Even after payment of the license fee, the software remains the property of the provider. The licensee is prohibited from further developing, marketing, copying or transferring the software and parts thereof to third parties. The copyright of the software remains fully with the provider as licensor and is not transferred to the licensee. The customer is only considered to be the licensee who is entitled to use the software in accordance with the contract.

The customer must ensure that the technical and actual requirements for receiving and using the services, data and content are met on his side. If these requirements are not met, this has no influence on the conclusion and continued existence of the contract between the customer and the provider.

The customer undertakes to provide the personal data required for registration truthfully. The customer undertakes to inform the provider of any changes to the personal data.

Insofar as continuing obligations exist, these may be terminated by the customer in writing subject to a notice period of one month, unless otherwise agreed.

Pricing

The provider's prices are quoted in Swiss francs, excluding VAT and other charges. Purchase prices stated in the offer may be adjusted by the provider in the event of price changes. Work services are offered at a flat rate or on a time and material basis. If the services are invoiced on a time and material basis, the price stated in the offer is based on an estimate. In this case, only the agreed hourly rate in conjunction with the work report shall be decisive. However, if it is foreseeable that the estimated expenditure will be significantly exceeded, the Provider shall inform the Customer as soon as possible in order to determine the further procedure with the Customer; in this case, the Customer shall not be entitled to withdraw from the contract.

Warranty

The Provider warrants that the licensed software essentially corresponds to the product specification, is functional and can be used accordingly. Reworking is only possible with the provider's consent. The Provider shall only undertake any modifications or improvements to the software on the basis of a special agreement. The licensee is not entitled to any customer support or upgrade activities by the provider.

However, the provider assumes no responsibility for the profitability of the licensed software and the business based on it. There is no guarantee that profits can be made with the software in the short or long term. It is the responsibility of the licensee to control the individual transactions made using the software and to monitor the respective compatibility with its risk profile. The licensee uses the program at his own financial risk and responsibility.

If any defects are found in the licensed software, these must be reported to the Provider in writing or by e-mail within 3 days of the first use of the software at the latest. The Provider shall not be liable for defects caused by incorrect handling, normal wear and tear or external influences (power failure, faulty hardware, etc.).

Limitation of liability

The Provider shall only be liable for damages due to gross errors in the software if the Customer can prove gross negligence and intent. All claims for damages and other claims shall be limited in value to the license fee paid. Any further liability (except for personal injury) is excluded.

Likewise, claims for damages for loss of investment, loss of profit, loss of data, restoration of software, downtime or other lost production or working time and for course losses are completely excluded; this applies to all claims of the customer, regardless of the legal grounds. The Provider accepts no responsibility for external or indirect defects and consequential damage (e.g. damage resulting from operational failure, delay, information forwarding, viruses or line or system errors). Insofar as the contractual liability of the Provider is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents of the Provider.

The customer accepts checks and maintenance work by the provider that may temporarily affect the availability of some or all products. Temporary transmission delays may also occur when content and services of third parties are forwarded. The Provider shall endeavor to keep downtimes as short as possible in the interests of the Customer. The customer accepts reasonable disruptions. The Provider is not liable for system failures of network operators, service providers, etc.

The Provider offers no guarantee that the services will be accessible without interruption, that the desired connections can be established at all times, or that stored data will remain available under all circumstances. An interruption in the accessibility of the services for the customer shall not give rise to claims for damages.

Privacy

All information and data may be stored and retained by the licensor for later proof of performance and conclusion of the contract. Information and data shall not be passed on to third parties, except where third parties act as subcontractors of the provider in the performance of the contract.

The Provider accepts no liability for data security during transmission of the software via the Internet (e.g. due to technical errors on the part of the provider) or for any unlawful access by third parties to files on its website. Access data for the customer login, which are transmitted to the customer at the customer's request, must be treated as strictly confidential by the customer.
