1.1 These Terms and Conditions shall apply to the free provision of the Client Software and to the fee-based furnishing of the it Infrastructure by ColorDigital.

1.2 The use of the Client Software and of the it Infrastructure shall be offered only to business enterprises within the meaning of § 14 of theBürgerliches Gesetzbuch (the Civil Code, the “bgb”). ‘Business enterprises’ are natural or legal persons or legally constituted business partnerships (Personengesellschaften), which in entering into the Agreement are acting in the exercise of their commercial or freelance professional work activity.

1.4 The General Terms and Conditions shall then become a component of the Agreement only if such has been expressly stipulated in writing.

2 ColorDigital services

2.1 ColorDigital shall provide Customer at no charge the Client Software requisite for the use of the it Infrastructure.

2.2 ColorDigital shall furnish the Customer access over the internet, limited in time to the term of the Agreement, to the furnished it Infrastructure (“Software-as-a-Service”). The operation and servicing of the it Infrastructure shall be incumbent upon ColorDigital. The location for delivery of the service shall be the router terminus of the computing center. Customer shall independently ensure that it is able to receive the service. In particular, furnishing the requisite hardware and software (the Client Software excepted) by ColorDigital is expressly not a component of the Agreement. Customer shall have no claim to access to the source codes of the it Infrastructure or Client Software furnished by ColorDigital. It shall be incumbent upon the Customer to operate and to configure the Client Software as well as the it Infrastructure.

2.3 The precise scope of the services to be furnished by ColorDigital shall appear in the description of services in the form contract.

2.4 The digital availability of the it Infrastructure averages 99% during the course of the year. Exceptions to this shall be necessary, scheduled servicing work as well as any disruptions which remain outside ColorDigital’s sphere of influence, particularly such asforce majeure. ColorDigital shall, wherever possible, inform the Customer about any scheduled servicing work, doing so in a timely manner through the contact person appointed for ColorDigital and using the text-form (Textform). However, ColorDigital shall expressly reserve the right to carry out unannounced servicing work as well, if need be, especially if such is necessary for data and operational security.

2.5 ColorDigital shall perform daily data back-ups of the it Infrastructure and the data deposited by the Customer, which back-ups shall be kept for three (3) days. No individual review of the accuracy and completeness of the data back-ups shall be effected or shall be owed.

2.6 ColorDigital shall provide the Customer with online retrievable documentation of the Client Software and of the it Infrastructure as well as directions for its use in electronic form in the German and/or in the English language. Customer shall not have the right to process or to disseminate the documentation or the user directions or to make such publicly accessible.

2.7 For rendering the services, ColorDigital shall have the right to engage, at its own discretion, sub-contractors as vicarious agents.

2.8 ColorDigital shall have the right, but not the obligation, to expand and further develop the functional scope of the Client Software as well as of the it Infrastructure. ColorDigital shall reserve the right to offer expansions and further developments only in exchange for payment of added compensation. If the Customer orders a fee-based expansion or further development for such purpose by means of a corresponding agreement supplementing this Agreement, then these Terms and Conditions shall applymutatis mutandis to said order. If ColorDigital, after entering into the Agreement, provides expanded or additional functions at no charge, then these furnished functions shall be considered voluntary performance by ColorDigital.

2.9 ColorDigital shall be able to modify the functional scope of the Client Software as well as of the it Infrastructure at any time to a degree which is reasonable for the Customer. The modification shall be reasonable in particular if it is necessary for cause – for example, from disruptions in the rendering of the service by sub-contractors or for reasons of technical security – and the performance features defined in the performance description (Leistungsbeschreibung) as well as the primary performance duties of ColorDigital essentially remain in place. If the modifications concern (i) more than exclusively expansions of the functions or (ii) more than non-essential components of the services to be rendered by ColorDigital, then ColorDigital shall advise the Customer via e-mail about the modification at least four (4) weeks prior to its entering into effect.

2.10 ColorDigital shall have the right to suspend Customer’s access to the it Infrastructure if:

a) there exist any indications (i) that Customer’s login credentials were misused or are being misused or (ii) that the login credentials were given or are being given to an unauthorized third party or (iii) that login credentials are being used by more than one natural person;

b) there exist any indications that third parties have, in another manner, obtained access to the it Infrastructure furnished to the Customer;

c) the suspension is required for technical reasons;

d) ColorDigital is obligated to block the access for legal, judicially ordered, or officially ordered reasons;

e) Customer is more than two (2) weeks in default in making the stipulated payment;

f) Customer has deposited false or invalid contact data and communication between ColorDigital and the Customer is no longer possible;

g) Customer has provided false banking data and a proper fulfillment of the Customer’s performance duties is not guaranteed.

ColorDigital shall announce any blocking to the Customer in the text-form (Textform) or in the written-form (Schriftform) by no later than one (1) business day prior to the blocking’s entering into effect, to the extent that the announcement is reasonable with a fair balancing of the interests of both sides and is compatible with the purpose of the blocking.

3 Duties of the Customer

3.1 Customer shall have to safely store the login credentials to the it Infrastructure and shall be allowed to make these data accessible only to those employees who have the right to such.
