a) the contract form;

b) the performance certificate;

c) the Service Level Agreement the contract for the commissioned processing of personal data (if agreed); and

d) these GTC.

In the event of contradictions or discrepancies, the documents listed first in the order of precedence take precedence over those listed next in the order of precedence. In the case of documents listed at the same level, the most recent document takes precedence over the older document.

3. Offer description, commissioning

If the change means that the customer cannot use the software services for the contractually agreed or assumed purposes, or can only use them with severe restrictions, the customer has a special right of termination. A restriction is deemed to be severe if the software services are no longer suitable for the customer's purposes, which have become a recognizable contractual basis for Web Inclusion. The customer must exercise the special right of termination within one (1) month of becoming aware of the planned change by written declaration or e-mail to Web Inclusion. In this case, the contractual relationship shall end on the day on which the change is implemented, but at the earliest upon receipt of the notice of termination by Web Inclusion. The special termination shall not take effect if Web Inclusion refrains from implementing the change to the software services.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, all persons employed by Web Inclusion in the course of providing the service can assume that all data with which they may come into contact is secured.

8.8 The customer bears the risk that the software services as well as the other services meet its requirements and can be used for its commercial purposes. The customer is solely responsible for ensuring that Web Inclusion's services comply with the legal and official regulations applicable to the customer and its internal compliance regulations.

8.10. The customer must treat his access data to his user account confidentially and may not make it accessible to third parties. The customer is responsible for the actions carried out under a user account in connection with the password of the respective user, unless the customer can prove that the user was only able to access the customer's access data due to a breach of contract by Web Inclusion. The customer is responsible to Web Inclusion for the user's actions.

8.11. The customer shall take appropriate precautions in the event that the software services do not function or do not function properly.

If the customer does not or does not properly comply with the required obligations to cooperate, Web Inclusion's obligation to provide services shall lapse to the respective extent and for the respective period in which the provision of services by Web Inclusion is dependent on the prior fulfillment of the customer's obligations to cooperate. Web Inclusion is entitled to demand compensation for any additional expenses incurred due to a lack of or delay in cooperation.

9. License control, relicensing

9.1 If the customer discovers that not enough licenses have been purchased, the customer is obliged to inform Web Inclusion of this. The customer is then obliged to either ensure that the software services are used from then on under the agreed license conditions, or to acquire the necessary number of additional licenses by means of a separate contract.

9.2 Web Inclusion is entitled to check the use of the software services at appropriate intervals by means of measurements. The measurement can be carried out either by Web Inclusion or by a third party commissioned by Web Inclusion. Web Inclusion will take appropriate account of the customer's confidentiality interests.

9.3 In principle, the measurement is carried out by means of self-disclosure by the customer, whereby the customer will use the measurement tools provided by Web Inclusion (if available). If the self-disclosure is refused or does not provide meaningful results or if there are indications of an infringement of rights by the customer, Web Inclusion may also carry out a measurement on site at the customer's premises. The customer must support Web Inclusion to a reasonable extent during the survey, in particular by granting access to the IT systems to the extent necessary.

9.4 Web Inclusion's own measurement costs are borne by Web Inclusion if the customer is sufficiently licensed. If the customer is not sufficiently licensed, the customer shall bear Web Inclusion's reasonable costs incurred as a result of the measurement.

10. Claiming of property rights by third parties

10.1 If a third party claims that the use of the software services infringes third-party property rights, the customer must inform Web Inclusion immediately and comprehensively in writing.

10.2 The parties shall use their best efforts to support each other in defending their rights against the third party and to defend against the alleged infringement of property rights or to enter into a commercially reasonable settlement

11. Warranty

11.1 Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, service contract law shall apply to the provision of services (in particular development, customizing and implementation services, consulting, training and data export services). If a service is not provided in accordance with the contract and Web Inclusion is responsible for this, Web Inclusion is obliged to provide the service in accordance with the contract within a reasonable period of time at no additional cost to the customer. The prerequisite for this is a written complaint from the customer.

11.2 All information on the service does not constitute a guarantee for the quality of the service, unless a guarantee has been expressly agreed in writing. A specific quality of the service cannot be derived from advertising materials or public statements if their specific content has not been expressly confirmed in writing by Web Inclusion.

11.3 In deviation from the aforementioned clause 11.1, the following warranty provisions shall apply to the Software Services:

11.3.1 Faults must be notified in text form by means of a comprehensible description of the faulty functioning, proven as far as possible by recordings (e.g. screenshots) or other documents illustrating the defects. The notification of defects must enable the reproduction of the defect. The customer shall name a meaningful contact person for the fault. This shall not affect the customer's statutory obligations to inspect and give notice of defects.

11.3.2 Web InclusionWeb Inclusion does not guarantee the correct display and functioning of the software services if the customer uses a web browser that Web Inclusion does not support or that is not up to date.

11.3.3 A material defect shall only exist if the Software Services deviate in significant parts from the documentation of the Software Services or the contractually agreed quality.

11.3.4 In the event of a material defect, Web Inclusion is entitled to rectify the defect by providing a new version or an update as part of Web Inclusion's version, update and upgrade planning. Web Inclusion may also remedy the defect by showing the customer reasonable ways of avoiding the effects of the defect.

11.3.5 In the event of defects of title, Web Inclusion shall, at its own discretion, either (i) provide the customer with the right to use the service as agreed, or (ii) modify the service in such a way that the allegation of infringement is invalidated, but the customer's contractual use is not unreasonably impaired as a result.

11.3.6 There is no right to self-performance, in particular in accordance with Section 536a (2) BGB.

11.3.7 The applicable response and remedy periods are set out in the agreed Service Level Agreement.

11.3.8 The warranty is excluded if the faults are due to the fact that

a) the customer or the users authorized by the customer have used the software services improperly, whereby improper use exists in particular if the service is not used in accordance with any existing documentation of the software services;

b) the customer has not cooperated or has not cooperated in good time.

11.3.9 The warranty for defects in free services (e.g. free (beta) versions of software services) is limited to cases where Web Inclusion fraudulently conceals a defect from the customer. Otherwise, the customer has no claims to warranty for defects for free services.

11.3.10. If Web Inclusion provides troubleshooting or fault rectification services without being obliged to do so, Web Inclusion may demand a reasonable amount of time and effort-related remuneration. This applies in particular if a reported material defect cannot be reproduced or if the warranty is excluded in accordance with section 11.3.8 or if it subsequently transpires that there was no defect.

11.4 The customer's warranty claims shall expire within one year. In this case, the limitation period shall commence upon delivery of the defective object of performance. In contrast, the statutory limitation period shall apply if the defect was caused intentionally or by gross negligence, if a defect caused by simple negligence has resulted in injury to life, limb or health or if a guarantee was given for the quality of the contractual service.

11.5 Liability for damages and futile expenses shall be governed exclusively by Section 12.

12. Liability

12.1 Customer liability

The customer is liable for intent and negligence. The customer shall be liable for the conduct of its employees, vicarious agents, bodies, users and representatives in the same way as for its own conduct.

12.2 Liability of Web Inclusion

12.2.1 Web Inclusion shall be liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence. In all other respects, the limitations set out in sections 12.2.2 to 12.2.7 apply.

12.2.2 Web InclusionWeb Inclusion is liable for the negligent breach of obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract, whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on whose compliance the customer may regularly rely. In the latter case, however, Web Inclusion shall only be liable for foreseeable damage typical of the contract. Web Inclusion is not liable for the negligent breach of obligations other than those mentioned in the preceding sentences.

12.2.3 Liability for damages and reimbursement of futile expenses shall be limited to the contract value of one contract year or EUR 10,000.00, whichever is higher, per case of infringement. However, if the term of the contract is less than one year, liability shall be limited to the remuneration paid by the customer, unless the remuneration paid is higher than the liability sum expressly quantified above. In the event of several cases of infringement in one contract year, Web Inclusion's liability shall be limited to twice the contract value of one contract year or, if the contract term is less than one year, to twice the remuneration paid or to EUR 20,000.00, whichever is higher.

12.2.4 Web Inclusion will not compensate for loss of profit. In the event of data loss, Web Inclusion will only reimburse the costs of recovery up to the amount that would have been incurred if the data had been properly and regularly backed up.

12.2.5 Strict liability for defects already existing at the time of conclusion of the contract pursuant to Section 536a (1) Alt. 1 BGB is excluded.

12.2.6 Insofar as liability is excluded or limited in accordance with this section, this exclusion or limitation also applies to the personal liability of Web Inclusion's employees, vicarious agents and bodies and all subcontractors of Web Inclusion.

12.2.7 The exclusions of liability under this section 12.2 shall not apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health or if Web Inclusion has assumed a guarantee. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

12.3 Force majeure

12.3.1 Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any failure or delay in its performance under the Contract due to Force Majeure. "Force majeure" means all circumstances beyond the reasonable control of a party, in particular war, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, pandemics (in particular new mutations of COVID-19 ), accidents, industrial action; acts of third parties or official, regulatory and/or judicial measures, insofar as these are not due to the fault of the party whose performance is suspended or delayed.

12.3.2 The circumstances existing at the time of signing the contract due to the corona pandemic shall not be deemed to be an event of force majeure within the meaning of this clause 12.3. in the event of the tightening of measures to combat the corona pandemic after conclusion of the contract, the parties undertake to keep the resulting impairments to the provision of services as low as possible. The respective party shall only be released from the fulfillment of its obligations due to the tightening of measures in connection with the corona pandemic to the extent that the provision of services is objectively impaired or impossible.

12.4 Statute of limitations

In the event of liability for intent, gross negligence, personal injury or under the Product Liability Act, the statutory limitation periods shall apply. Otherwise, a limitation period of one year shall apply to all claims for damages or compensation for futile expenses of the claimant in the case of contractual and non-contractual liability. The limitation period begins at the point in time at which the claimant is aware of the breach of duty by the other party or at least must have been aware of it (negligent ignorance). However, it shall commence at the latest five (5) years after the claim arises.

13. Confidentiality and data protection

13.1 Protection of confidential information

13.1.1 The receiving party may only use confidential information of the disclosing party for the fulfillment of contractual obligations or - to the extent necessary for this - for the use of contractual services.

13.1.2 "Confidential Information" means information referred to in the second sentence above which is disclosed by one Party ("Disclosing Party") to the other Party ("Receiving Party") or which otherwise comes to the knowledge of the Receiving Party in the course of the Project, whether disclosed directly or indirectly in writing, orally or through the viewing of items before or after the signing of the Contract and whether or not it is the subject of Intellectual Property. Confidential Information includes (i) prices and terms of this Agreement, marketing strategies, financial information or projections, sales estimates and business plans, (ii) plans for products or services, (iii) inventions, new designs, processes, formulas or technologies, (iv) work in process, source code, (v) any other information designated as confidential or obviously recognizable as confidential information of the disclosing party.

13.1.3. However, Confidential Information does not include information that the receiving party can demonstrate (i) was publicly known and generally available prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing party, (ii) becomes publicly known and generally available after disclosure by the disclosing party to the receiving party through no action or inaction of the receiving party (iii) was already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party, (iv) was obtained by the receiving party from a third party without breach of a confidentiality obligation, or (v) was independently developed by the receiving party without reference to or use of the disclosing party's Confidential Information.

13.1.4 In the event that Confidential Information must be disclosed due to an official or court order or a legal obligation, the receiving party may only disclose such Confidential Information as is necessary to fulfill the obligation and shall promptly notify the disclosing party thereof as soon as and to the extent permitted by law. The parties shall assist each other, to the extent legally possible, to avoid disclosure.

13.1.5 The Receiving Party shall treat all Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall exercise a reasonable degree of care, but no less than the degree of care it exercises to protect its own Confidential Information. The receiving party shall not disclose any Confidential Information it receives to any third party (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives ("Representatives"), regardless of whether the respective Representatives were authorized to receive such information under this Agreement.

13.2 Data protection

Furthermore, the parties undertake to comply with the applicable data protection regulations. Where necessary, the parties shall conclude any necessary data protection agreements, which Web Inclusion shall make available to the customer for conclusion.

13.3 Designation as a cooperation partner

The parties may refer to the other party by name in the press, product brochures, financial reports, on their respective websites and in information materials and indicate that a contractual relationship exists or existed between the parties. Both parties may revoke this authorization in writing to the other party at any time.

14.1 The contract shall run for the period specified in the contract form. Unless otherwise stated, it has a minimum term of one (1) year.

14.2 The notice periods stipulated in the contract form shall apply. During a minimum term or extension term, the contract cannot be terminated by ordinary termination, but at the earliest at the end of the respective term. Extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected by this.

14.3 An important reason for Web Inclusion to terminate the contract for good cause shall be deemed to exist in particular if:

a) the customer is in arrears with the payment of the remuneration and does not make the payment in full despite a written warning with a deadline of at least 14 days;
