These contract terms shall apply for the use of the software of MeisterLabs GmbH, Zugspitzstrasse 2, 85591 Vaterstetten, Germany (“MeisterLabs”), offered on the websites ‘www.mindmeister.com’ and ‘www.meistertask.com’ (“websites”).

These contract terms shall apply both vis-a-vis entrepreneurs pursuant to § 14 German Civil Code as well as consumers pursuant to § 13 German Civil Code. A consumer is every natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly are outside his trade, business or profession. Insofar as expressly indicated (e.g. by bold type), individual provisions of these contract terms shall not or only in modified form apply for consumers; the application of these contract terms in all other regards, both for entrepreneurs as well as for consumers shall remain unaffected. MeisterLabs does not offer its services directly to persons under the age of 16 (children). We assume children will use our software only upon consent and under supervision of the holder of parental responsibility.

As consumer, you have the right to revoke this contract within a period of 14 days without any requirement to provide a reason. The period within which the right of revocation may be exercised shall begin on the date of conclusion of contract; we expressly refer here to rules on the exclusion of the right of revocation for digital contents - cf. Section 2.3 below. The timely dispatch of unambiguous notice of your decision to MeisterLabs GmbH, Zugspitzstrasse 2 in 85591 Vaterstetten, Germany shall suffice to effect revocation of this contract. You may also submit this notice using the contact form accessible from any of our websites, or by e-mail or telephone. Our telephone number as well as e-mail address can be found on any of our websites in the imprint.
In case of an effective revocation of a pay version, each party shall make immediate reimbursement, at the very latest within 14 days, of any services received or of any benefit gained (e.g. interest). Should you not be able to reimburse services received or are only able to do so partially or in inferior quality, you shall be required to pay compensation to MeisterLabs accordingly. You must fulfil all duties of reimbursement of payments within 30 days after dispatch of your notice of revocation.
you have confirmed that you are aware that with this consent you lose your right of revocation upon our beginning of performance under this contract.

With your complete registration, you submit an offer to conclude a contract of use for the stipulated number of users (licences) and warrant that all data provided by you on registration are accurate and complete. You are obliged to notify us of any changes in your registration data without delay.
MeisterLabs shall accept this offer by activation of your user account for the services. As a result of this acceptance, the contract between you and us shall be concluded.

MeisterLabs is, however, not obliged to ensure the establishment and maintenance of data connection between your systems and the described delivery point.
Insofar as software operates exclusively on MeisterLabs’ servers or on a third-party server commissioned by MeisterLabs, you shall not require copyright exploitation rights to the software, nor shall such rights be conceded to you. MeisterLabs shall, however, grant you the non-exclusive, non-transferable right of use, limited to the duration of the contract, to load the user interface of the software for display on the monitor screen in the working memory of the terminal devices used for this end in accordance with contract and to reproduce the user interface in so doing on these terminal devices.
In the absence of an express agreement to the contrary by the parties, the contractually agreed service shall not be made available to third parties.
MeisterLabs points out that limitations or impairments to the services rendered can arise which are beyond the influence of MeisterLabs. These include, in particular, interventions by third parties which do not operate on behalf of MeisterLabs, technical conditions of the internet over which MeisterLabs has no influence, as well as force majeure. Even the hardware and software and technical infrastructure you use can have an impact on services.

Every act which is capable of impairing the functionality of MeisterLabs infrastructure, in particular, acts capable of placing excess pressure on it.

As regards the data stored by you on allocated memory space, you shall be responsible for the compliance with the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act, the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as, where necessary, other relevant data protection legislation. If and insofar as you process (e.g. store) personal data of third parties on the IT systems for which MeisterLabs is technically responsible, it shall be your exclusive responsibility to ensure that you comply with the necessary requirements (e.g. consent) pursuant to Art. 6 GDPR for lawful data processing. Additionally, in such cases a contract shall be concluded between you and MeisterLabs on data processing (cf. Art. 28(3) GDPR).

The application of § 536a(2) German Civil Code (Right of the lessee to rectify defect) is, however, excluded.

In all other cases, MeisterLabs shall be liable - in the absence of any provision to the contrary in 11.3 - only in the case of breach of a contractual duty, for which fulfilment is strictly necessary for proper performance of contract and whose compliance may regularly be relied upon by the customer (cardinal duty); this liability shall be restricted to foreseeable and typical damage. In all other cases, MeisterLabs’ liability - save for the rule in 11.3 - shall be excluded.
MeisterLabs’ liability for damage resulting from injury to life, body or health and in accordance with the Product Liability Act as well as on assumption of warranty shall remain unaffected by the above restrictions and exclusions of liability.
Where damage to you results from the loss of data, MeisterLabs shall not be liable for this insofar as the damage could have been prevented in the case of regular and comprehensive back-up of all relevant data. You shall carry out regular and comprehensive data backup personally or have it done by a third party and shall be solely responsible for this.

Should individual provisions of these contract terms be or become void, the validity of the remaining provisions shall be unaffected. The parties undertake to replace the invalid provision with the valid provision which comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provisions. The same shall apply mutatis mutandis for any lacunae in this agreement.
MeisterLabs reserves the right to amend these contract terms at any time without stipulating reasons, unless, this is not reasonable for you.
