6.2          The term of Subscription shall begin on the day on which PuttView X has been fully delivered to the Customer and shall continue for twelve (12) months (“Initial Term”). The term of Subscription shall automatically renew for additional twelve-month term(s) (“Renewal Period(s)”), unless either party terminates Subscription at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Period by giving one (1) month prior written notice to the other. Moreover, during any Renewal Period either party may terminate Subscription at any time upon one (1) month written notice.  

 

6.3           If the Customer allows Subscription to elapse for any period of time, and the Customer subsequently elects to re-subscribe to Subscription, the Customer hereby agrees to pay Viewlicity a reinstatement fee equal to the total fees that would have been due for Subscription during the non-subscription period.

8.              Purchase Price and Subscription Fees

8.1           The purchase price for PuttView X, including Subscription for the Initial Term, is set forth in the Customer’s offer.

In the event of an adjustment, Viewlicity shall take into account any cost changes that have occurred in the meantime in the area of wages, salaries, IT services, and general costs. Viewlicity shall provide the Customer with thirty (30) days written notice in advance of the effective date of any change in such fees. In the event Viewlicity increases such fees by more than five per cent (5%) the Customer may within thirty (30) days as of receipt of Viewlicity's notice terminate Subscription upon one (1) month notice; in case of such termination the fees remain unchanged.

8.4           Any payment shall be paid to the account referred to in the respective invoice.

9.              Warranty (“Gewährleistung”)

9.1           The statutory laws shall apply for Viewlicity’s liability for defects, unless stipulated otherwise below.

9.2           In case of an obvious defect of PuttView X, the Customer shall promptly, in no event later than within ten (10) days as of delivery, notify Viewlicity in writing. In case of non-obvious defects, the Customer shall promptly, in no event later than within ten (10) days as of discovery of the defect, notify Viewlicity in writing.

9.3           In case of a defect of PuttView X Viewlicity may in its own discretion eliminate such defect or deliver a new PuttView X product (“Remedying a Defect”). Remedying a Defect of the Contractual Software or any other software included in PuttView X may include the delivery of an update or upgrade which does not have the defect, or a patch which eliminates the defect.

9.4           If Remedying a Defect fails, the Customer shall be entitled to claim adequate reduction of the purchase price or, provided that the defect does not only impair the use of the PuttView X in accordance with the offer insignificantly, withdraw from the respective Agreement. Such failure may only occur if Viewlicity had been given sufficient and appropriate opportunities to remedy the defect within reasonable terms. The making available of a workaround as a preliminary solution shall be taken into account when calculating such reasonable terms.

9.5           In the event of a sale of PuttView X to an entrepreneur within the meaning of Section 14 German Civil Code (BGB), the liability for defects shall be statute barred after twelve (12) months as of delivery, except that such limitation of the warranty period shall not apply to claims for damages and to liability in the event of fraudulent concealment of a defect.

9.6           The Customer shall support Viewlicity in detecting and remedying defects and shall immediately allow inspection of any data and information, which reveal the more detailed circumstances of the appearance of the defect.

9.7           Viewlicity is entitled to remedy defects at its business premises, e.g. through remote maintenance of PuttView X. Viewlicity shall bear the expenses required for the purpose of inspection and warranty, in particular transportation, travel costs to the Customer’s location specified in the offer, and labour costs, if a defect actually exists. Otherwise Viewlicity may demand that the Customer reimburses any costs incurred by the unjustified request to remedy defects (in particular inspection and transportation costs), unless the Customer was unable to recognize the lack of a defect. In such case the Customer shall bear any costs for material and costs for skilled manual labour (e.g. disassembly and installation costs).

10.           Disclaimer of Liability

10.1        With the exception of liability according to Product Liability Law and due to death, physical injury or harm to health, Viewlicity’s liability is limited or excluded as follows.

10.2        In the event of negligence, Viewlicity’s liability is limited to reimbursement of typically foreseeable damages. However, in case of slight negligence (“einfache Fahrlässigkeit”) Viewlicity shall only be held liable, if Viewlicity has breached a duty, the fulfillment of which is necessary to adequately perform this Agreement, and on the fulfillment of which the Customer may rely.

10.3        The foregoing limitation of liability shall also apply to the personal liability of Viewlicity’s employees, staff, representatives and vicarious agents.

11.           Data protection

11.1        Concerning Personal Data within the meaning of Article 4 (1) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR; “Personal Data”) brought to Viewlicity’s attention during Support and Software Maintenance the following applies: Viewlicity shall process such Personal Data as a contract data processor on behalf of and according to the instructions given by the Customer and exclusively for the provision of Support and Maintenance. The Customer shall ensure that the collection, processing and use of Personal Data complies with all relevant statutory provisions, in particular, if applicable, the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG)) and the GDPR.

12.           Miscellaneous Provisions

12.1        The Customer may only assign rights arising from the Agreement to third parties subject to Viewlicity’s written consent.

12.2        Viewlicity may amend these Terms and Conditions upon one (1) month written notice to the Customer. The amendments shall be deemed having been approved by the Customer and apply as of their effective date proposed by Viewlicity, unless the Customer has notified Viewlicity in writing of its disapproval prior to their proposed date of entry into force. In the event of the Customer’s written notice of disapproval, these Terms and Conditions shall continue to apply without any changes to the previous terms and conditions.

12.3        This Agreement and all legal relationships between the parties shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The application of CISG (“UN Sales Convention”) is excluded. Provisions, in particular those of international private law, which would result in the application of another jurisdiction, are hereby expressly excluded.

12.4        If the Customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a public special asset, Viewlicity’s registered place of business shall be agreed as having exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or due to the parties’ contractual relationships. Viewlicity, however, shall remain entitled to initiate court proceedings at the seat or general place of jurisdiction of the Customer.

12.5        Should individual provisions of this Agreement be invalid or unenforceable for actual or legal reasons, without rendering the continuity of the remaining provisions unreasonable as a whole for a contractual party, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The same shall apply in the event of a contractual gap. In lieu of the invalid or unenforceable provisions or to close any contractual gap, the parties shall agree to a provision that comes closest to fulfilling the economic purpose intended by the contractual parties.
