1. Conclusion of contract, subscription

A contract for our services ("subscription") is concluded when you accept an offer from us - either by placing an order on our website or via the sales team.

Each individual subscription is a stand-alone contract that is independent of any other subscriptions you purchase from us.

1.1 Our offer

We offer various services (Software as a Service) on our website. Our offerings do not include an offer for you to purchase our software.

Rather, we offer you to access a limited amount of the Services over the Internet for a specified period of time and to use those Services in accordance with these Terms.

Provided that you are a company based in an EU member state or Switzerland or are acting on behalf of such a company, or that we have sent you an explicit offer stating the address, irrespective of your place of business, a subscription is concluded when you order or renew one of the services offered in accordance with the provisions of this contract (together "order" or "order").

1.2 Your order

By placing an order, you agree to

(a) the details of the service ordered,
(b) these terms and conditions,
(c) the terms and conditions of your chosen payment service provider, and
(d) that each service is offered "as available",

.

We reserve the right to refuse orders.

If we continue to develop our services during the term of your subscription or if a subscription is renewed, the previous subscription will end and our terms and conditions offered on our website at the time of the development of our services or renewal will apply. If you do not wish to agree to the terms then in force, you may decline an automatic renewal of your subscription or cancel the subscription in question.

You are responsible for the content of any data you submit when placing an order or during the course of the subscription. You warrant that you have the rights necessary for the transmission. You are responsible for the confidentiality of non-public data in connection with the order and use of the services. You will promptly notify us of any changes to the information you have provided to us and update your information in your user account to reflect the changes.

If you use an email address provided by an organization, such as your employer, you represent that you are authorized to use that organization's domain. The owner of the domain to which your e-mail address is assigned has the right to control and manage your account. The data you provide when ordering may be visible to other users of the services within your organization's email domain.

With the user's consent, we may use their profile data, including name and email address, to display content on public platforms, such as a user community. This only takes place after the user has expressly consented to the publication of the data, e.g. in the context of feedback or through active participation in user initiatives.

You have no obligation under this Section 7.2 to the extent that you are not responsible for the third party claims.

7.3 Our obligation under clause 7.1 does not apply if the claim that you are using other services, data or products in connection with our services or using our brand without our express prior consent.

7.4 If there is a possibility that a claim pursuant to Section 7.1 prevents you from using a service, we will attempt to acquire the rights necessary for further use or to modify the service or replace it with a functionally equivalent service. If we are unable to achieve this with economically reasonable effort, we have the right to terminate the affected subscription and refund you the remuneration paid up to that point.

7.5 Each party shall promptly notify the other of any claim under this Section.
