Document:
The goods and services offered are intended exclusively for entrepreneurs in accordance with § 14 (1) of German Civil Code (BGB), i.e. natural or legal persons or partnerships having legal capacity which upon conclusion of the contract are acting as a commercial or independent professional entity (“companies”).
Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of the user will, even if AXOOM is aware of them, not become part of the contract unless their validity has been expressly agreed to in writing.
1. AXOOM provides a digital business platform with various services, through which you as a user can call up information, procure goods and services at AXOOM and other participants and contact them as well as other services providers and users.
2. The services provided may involve cloud or software services, for example, as well as the making available of product data, electronic media, information and other content (hereinafter referred to collectively as “the services”). You can read about the scope of our services and benefits in our service description at www.axoom.com. The scope of services is also derived from the respective functionalities currently available on axoom.com.
3. We reserve the right to supplement the services and benefits offered on the platform or to set a time limit for the use of the services offered either in whole or in part. No claim to the retention of certain benefits or parts thereof exists.
4. Registration is required to use the goods and services available on axoom.com. Not only companies are allowed to participate. Registration to use axoom.com is free of charge.
5. Services and benefits from third parties (“partners”) can also be included in the functionalities available on axoom.com, for which AXOOM only mediates access or contact. For the utilization of such services and benefits – which are always identified as third-party services and benefits – the particular contractual conditions of the respective partner take precedence, to which AXOOM and/or the partner will refer you in each case.
6. For free services, no claim exists to interruption-free use. It is not guaranteed that the access to or the use of axoom.com will not be interrupted or adversely affected by maintenance work, further development, or other malfunctions that, if applicable, could result in loss of data. We make every effort to ensure that the usability of the axoom.com services is as interruption-free as possible. However, the possibility cannot be excluded that, due to technical malfunctions (e.g. interruption of the power supply, hardware or software errors, technical problems in the data lines) temporary limitations or interruptions will occur.
7. If and to the extent that orders to partners are mediated via the platform, we are furthermore entitled in the name of the partner to cancel orders of goods or services that have not been accepted by the partner within 30 days after notification of the order. We will notify you of this in a separate message.
1. Every user must register for participation on axoom.com in advance. Each company may only register once and may only create one profile (“corporate user,” “master user”). During the registration process you will be asked to establish your access data. This consists of your e-mail address and a freely chosen password. Additionally, during registration all the information requested on the electronic registration form such as company, address, contact and payment data, as well as a contact person authorized to represent the registering company, must be indicated completely and correctly. During registration you may not represent yourself as another person or company or use a name or company that you are not entitled to use.
3. If the registration or profile data change during the course of your user relationship, you must correct your data on axoom.com promptly in your personal settings. This applies both for corporate users and for sub-users they have created. You will be charged for any costs accruing to us due to entry of incorrect information (such as improper bookings due to incorrect account data) if you are responsible for the incorrect information.
5. Your registration, the contractual relationship and the user account in addition to the access data are non-transferable. We assume no responsibility for every profile owner always being the person the respective profile owner claims to be. We reserve the right to verify your identity and your details during registration. You therefore authorize AXOOM, as a precautionary measure, to use all registration information (including that of the sub-users) to verify the accuracy of your details (including their updates).
1. You must keep your access data, including your password, secret, and under no circumstances make this data available to third parties.
2. It is also your responsibility to ensure that only you or persons you have authorized access axoom.com and use the services available on axoom.com. If there are reasons to suspect that unauthorized third parties have become aware or will become aware of your access data, axoom.com must be informed immediately.
Please note: You are fully responsible for any use and/or other activity that is carried out using your access data.
1. On axoom.com you have the option of using both free services and services subject to payment. If the use of a service (including the retrieval of content) is subject to payment and you have not already commissioned a corresponding service during your registration, before opening the access option to the respective service online you will receive a notification of the costs incurred, the payment conditions, duration and cancellation of the service subject to payment, as well as additional relevant details and, if applicable, special contractual conditions. You then have the option of sending the order for the service by mouseclick on the order button.
3. All stated fees are understood to be in addition to the respective applicable statutory value added tax. The fee for the services you use will be processed by a commissioned payment service provider. You will be notified of this before the conclusion of the contract.
4. If not otherwise agreed, we will always bill you for contractually due use-independent compensation components in advance and use-dependent compensation subsequently. You will be informed of the billing periods before the first utilization together with the other payment conditions. Billing will be done exclusively by electronic means by sending the invoice via e-mail. If in your profile settings you select sending of the invoice by mail, this may result in additional costs for you (processing and postage costs). The amount of the costs for sending the invoice will be indicated to you when selecting the delivery method.
5. During a possible agreed test or trial period the contractual benefits subject to payment will be rendered free of charge to the extent agreed. For benefits that are provided by partners this applies only and insofar as this has been agreed to in the partner's respective special contractual conditions.
6. You can only claim a right of retention if this is based on the same contractual relationship. You can only offset receivables owed to us with unchallenged or legally established receivables owed by us.
7. The payment options are prepayment or by invoice. AXOOM reserves the right to decline certain payment methods in specific cases.
2. In case of temporary or permanent blocking, your access authorization will be blocked and you will be notified of this via e-mail.
3. In case of a temporary blocking, after the blocking period has expired or the reason for blocking has been definitively eliminated, the access authorization will be reactivated and you will be informed of this via e-mail. A permanently blocked access authorization cannot be restored. Permanently blocked persons are permanently excluded from participation on axoom.com and may not reregister on axoom.com. This applies both to registration as a master user and to registration as a sub-user.
1. You may terminate your contract to use axoom.com with one month's notice effective at month-end by submitting a written axoom.com usage cancellation notice letter to the above postal address or sending a corresponding e-mail to [•] @ axoom.com. In the event that a user contract has been concluded on services or benefits in return for payment, the access can only be terminated together with the respective user contract. The notice period in item 2 below applies accordingly.
2. We also reserve the right to terminate the user relationship in full or for individual services with a notice period of fourteen (14) calendar days, however at the earliest with the expiration of the minimum term or the time of the earliest termination option of the services and benefits subject to payment obtained under AXOOM or user contracts with partners.
3. The possibility of termination for good cause remains unaffected. In the event of a termination declared by us for a good cause for which you are responsible, we are entitled to immediately demand a payment in the amount of 75% (seventy five percent) of the user fee for the term remaining after the termination of the services subject to payment affected by the termination, provided by AXOOM or a partner until the next proper termination date if you do not prove that we or the relevant partner have not suffered any damage at all or that the actual damage is significantly lower than this amount. We or the affected partner have been provided with proof that the actual damage is higher than this amount.

In the event of a complete termination of your axoom.com user relationship, with the expiration of 30 calendar days after the entering into effect of the termination and after the expiration of any legal retention periods, we are entitled to irretrievably delete all data that has been created in the context of your axoom.com membership. For personal data the regulations on data protection take precedence, which may also stipulate a shorter period for deletion.
2. You yourself are responsible for establishing the necessary technical requirements (in particular hardware, web browser and internet access) for the use of the services in accordance with the contract within your area of responsibility. We are not required to provide any advice with regard to this.
3. Please be aware that user activities may be monitored within the legally permitted scope of the Telemedia Act (TMG) and Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) or that there may be a legal obligation for us to do this.

3. We do not perform any review for completeness, accuracy or legality for third-party content and therefore assume no responsibility or guarantee of any kind for the completeness, accuracy, legality or currentness of the third-party content.

3. We will notify you of the occurrence of a case of force majeure immediately and inform you in the same way as soon as the force majeure event no longer exists.
1. You are required to exempt us from all costs, claims and disadvantages that third parties assert against us due to the violation of their rights due to your content or due to a violation of the law by you. This does not apply if you are not responsible for the infringement of third-party rights.
