Please read the following provisions carefully.

1. Subject-matter of the conditions

These general business and licensing conditions of debids data GmbH – hereinafter referred to as debids data – shall govern the transfer and use of debids data's licensed programs.

The agreement between the Customer and debids data regarding the software download or the delivery of the licensed programs shall come into force when the Customer, following choice of product, order placement and payment of the licence fee, has downloaded the licensed programs involved or received an order confirmation for the delivery of the licensed programs via email or by post.

The downloading operation, and every installation of the licensed programs, signifies implied acceptance of these licensing conditions. The downloading or delivery of the licensed programs and the granting of usufructuary rights to them shall be explicitly tied to compliance with these General Business and Licensing Conditions.

Explicit, written or electronic consent from the Customer shall not be necessary in order to effectively agree the applicable validity of these General Business and Licensing Conditions.

2. Industrial property rights and denotations thereof

The licensed programs are the property of debids data, and protected by copyright laws, industrial property rights, and other national statutory provisions, plus laws and agreements concerning intellectual property.

debids data reserves all rights, particularly copyrights, patent rights, brand rights and further industrial and other property rights to the licensed programs, the documentation, and changes to and derivations from these. The Customer receives merely a usufructuary right to the licensed programs and documentation, and not ownership.

Identifications, brands, or references denoting industrial property rights or other forms of legal ownership within the licensed programs may be neither removed nor altered. They must be transferred together with the programs on every copy.

3. Usufructuary rights

debids data grants to the Customer, after registration and payment of the licence fee, the non-exclusive right to install, to load and run the licensed programs on a maximum of one computer system per licence acquired. A licence must be purchased for each computer system on which the licensed programs are installed. A licence is thus tied to a particular computer system.

The Customer shall be entitled to additionally create a back-up copy and customary data back-ups in reasonable numbers.

The Customer shall furthermore be entitled to alter the licensed programs so as to enable them to interact with other software programs.

In the case of an alteration required in order to establish interoperability or for remedying a fault, the licensed programs may be edited.

Any further utilisation of the licensed programs shall require an additional granting of rights by debids data.

The use and utilisation of the licensed programs for military, nuclear-engineering, aviation and automotive-engineering purposes are explicitly prohibited. If the licensed programs are to be used directly or indirectly in one of the above-mentioned fields or in other software-controlled or influenced fields where human life or health may be at risk, this shall require a prior explicit agreement with debids data.

5.1 The warranty period is 12 months, and shall begin when the licensed programs are downloaded onto the Customer's computer system or when receiving the data carrier upon delivery.

5.2 Software faults are solely reproducible faults, whose causes are to be found in defects in the licensed program concerned, and deviations of functionality between the licensed program supplied and the documentation.

5.3 For defects in the licensed programs, debids data will initially at its own discretion provide a warranty either by remedying the defect or by supplying a new software release. Instructions from debids data for bypassing a software defect shall be construed as sufficient remediation.

5.4 If the attempt at subsequent performance is unsuccessful, the Customer may, at his discretion, demand a reduction in the price (diminution) or cancellation of the agreement (rescission). If the violation of contract is only slight, however, particularly in the case of merely minor defects, the Customer shall not have any right of rescission.

5.5 The agreed qualities of the licensed programs shall in all cases be construed as only those particulars provided in the documentation for the licensed program concerned. Public statements, recommendations or advertising from debids data shall not additionally constitute any contractual qualities regarding the licensed programs involved.

6. Liability

6.1 In order to avoid damage that may be caused to other programs or stored data being used simultaneously, the Customer shall in good time before using the licensed programs back up the programs and data involved.

debids data will not accept any liability for ensuring that the licensed programs are suitable for the Customer's requirements and purposes or are interoperable with other programs chosen and used by him.

6.2 debids data shall be liable, irrespective of the legal grounds involved, only for intent and gross negligence. This shall not apply to loss or damage arising from injury to human life, limb and health.

6.3 If debids data has with intent to deceive concealed a defect or accepted a guarantee for the quality of the licensed programs, the exclusions of and limitations on liability shall not apply.

6.4 debids data shall be liable under the German Product Liability Act.

7. Support

debids data shall not be obligated to provide maintenance for the licensed programs. debids data shall, however, at its discretion and at intervals specified by debids data, supply the customers with minor updates to the licensed programs free of charge. Minor updates contain corrections of errors and improvements to the licensed programs.

9.3 Alterations and supplements to these conditions must be made in writing. This shall also apply for altering this requirement for the written form.

9.4 Should individual provisions of these General Business and Licensing Conditions be or become in whole or in part not legally valid or inoperable, this shall not affect the validity of the other provisions. The same shall apply in the event that there is an omission in these provisions' coverage.

Right of revocation

If the licensed programs are delivered on data carriers, you can cancel your purchase order within a period of two weeks after receipt of the consignment by returning the data carriers concerned.

If the licensed programs are downloaded, you can revoke your contractual declaration within two weeks from concluding the agreement without stating reasons in textual form (e.g. letter, fax, email).
