Document:
The following agreements regulate the provision of a software application, referred to as “Planio” in the following, by Planio GmbH. The Customer obtains the technical possibility and authorization to access Planio, which is hosted on the servers of Planio GmbH, over the Internet, and for the use of Planio’s functionalities as a part of this contract.
For this purpose, Planio GmbH makes available the software application for use under various Customer-specific hostnames (e.g. customercompany.plan.io, projectmanagement.customercompany.com) for the Customer and the users who are authorized by him. One respective instance of this software application will be referred to as “Planio instance” or simply as “instance” in the following.
A “User” is every natural person who is associated with the Customer in his capacity as legal representative, employee, supplier, customer or otherwise associated, and who has either registered a user account for himself on the instance of the Customer, has been provided by the Customer with login credentials (e.g. user name and password) for use on the Customer’s instance, or has been otherwise authorized for use by the Customer.
Users who have registered a new Planio instance for the Customer they represent or who have been appointed as an administrator by another administrator shall be considered as an “Administrator”. All administrators are able to revoke the administration privileges of other administrators, and in turn thereby appoint them as regular users who are not administrators.
The offer of Planio GmbH is not aimed at consumers as defined in the § 13 BGB (German Civil Code). The Customer guarantees not to act as a consumer.
2.1 Planio GmbH provides the Customer with Planio – an operational software application – which the Customer can use to plan projects and with which he can track their implementation. Planio is considered ready for operation as soon as Planio GmbH has notified the Customer of its activation (access to the operationally ready Planio).
2.2 The access to Planio is realized via the Internet. Requirements for the use of Planio are a computer with Internet access and a current Internet browser as well as client programs, e.g. for Subversion, Git, WebDAV, etc, as the case may be.
2.3 The provision of these requirements as well as the telecommunication services, including the transmission services from the service transfer point to the terminals that are used by the Customer, are not the subject matter of this contract; they are the responsibility of the Customer.
2.4 Planio comprises functions for project planning, for communication in the team, for the exchange of documents, for the versioned tracking of file changes, for the recording of working hours, for the entering of information, and for communicating with customers.
2.5 Planio GmbH reserves the right, at its own discretion and without previous announcement, to change individual parts of the functionalities as well as to add functions or to remove function parts. The removal of a previously available function part of Planio does not represent a defect, as long as the general functions mentioned in the preceding clause continue to be available.
2.6 The prices for Planio can be found in the price list on the website of Planio GmbH (https://plan.io/pricing/). The prices are based on various plans that are defined by usage volumes (e.g. user accounts, projects, customers, storage space). Planio GmbH reserves the right to change individual plans or to discontinue offering them. The provisions for plan change and cancellation in accordance with § 11 shall apply.
2.7 Planio GmbH regularly implements comprehensive data backups at its own discretion, yet at least once per day, and these are stored at a geographically remote and secure location (offsite backup). In the event of data loss for which Planio GmbH is to be held accountable, it shall immediately restore the data from the data backup, and the Customer will be informed of the occurrence. The Customer shall not be entitled to access the data backup in the event that Planio GmbH cannot be held accountable for a data loss.
2.8 The Customer has the option of creating and downloading his own data backup via the administration area of his Planio instance.
2.9 The scope of contractual service does not encompass the adherence to archiving obligations, e.g. long-term data backups serving a commercial or tax-related purpose, for which the Customer is responsible, insofar as the Customer has not concluded a separate contract for this with Planio GmbH.
2.10 Planio GmbH is at all times entitled to maintain and service software and/or hardware systems and to perform data backups. In case of foreseeable unavailabilities, Planio GmbH will carry out these activities outside of regular business hours or on weekends, as far as is possible. The scope of contractual service does not guarantee availabilities (SLAs), insofar as the Customer has not concluded a separate contract for this with Planio GmbH.
3.1 The Customer and the users authorized by him obtain the non-exclusive right, limited to the term of this contract, to access Planio via the Internet and to use it by means of a browser and, as the case may be, additional client programs related to Planio functionalities in accordance with this contract. Rights extending beyond this, particularly to Planio, the software application or the operating software, are not obtained by the Customer and the users, not even in the case when functions or function parts have been developed for the Customer.
3.2 The Customer is not entitled to use Planio beyond the authorized use according to this contract or to grant such use to third parties. In particular, the Customer is not authorized to duplicate, to sell or to make available for a limited period of time, and primarily not to rent out or lend Planio or parts thereof.
3.3 The Customer is responsible for naming the authorized users of his Planio instance. The naming is carried out either directly by creating an active user account via an administrator, or indirectly via the registration by a third party for a user account within the Planio instance of the Customer. The indirect registration by a third party is only possible, if an administrator had previously activated this function in the Planio instance. In every case, all of the active users that are listed in the administration area of the Planio instance shall be considered as named by the Customer.
3.4 The Customer is able to make available partial areas or the entirety of his Planio instance for public usage by third parties without a user account. Third parties without their own user account are also considered in this sense as authorized for usage, yet it is not required that they be named as users by the Customer. In every case, the actions of the entirety of users of the Planio instance as such are to be attributed to the Customer.
3.5 If usage of Planio in accordance with this contract should be impaired by industrial property rights of third parties, without any fault on the part of Planio GmbH, then Planio GmbH shall be entitled to refuse the services affected by this. Planio GmbH will immediately notify the Customer about this and provide him with access to his data in a suitable manner. In this case, the Customer is not obligated to pay. Other claims or rights of the Customer remain unaffected.
4.1 All parties shall observe the respectively applicable data privacy provisions, particularly those that apply in Germany and shall obligate those persons assigned in connection with this contract to data secrecy in accordance with § 5 Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG, German Federal Data Protection Act), insofar as these are not already generally obligated in this regard.
4.2 If the Customer himself, or via Planio, collects, processes or uses personal data, then he assumes responsibility that he is authorized to do this in accordance with the applicable provisions, particularly data privacy provisions, and he shall indemnify Planio GmbH in the event of third-party claims.
4.3 It is made clear that the Customer remains the data owner, generally in the contractual relationship as well as in the sense of data privacy (§ 11 BDSG). The Customer is the sole proprietor in regard to the right of handling and the ownership of all Customer-specific data (entered data, processed, stored data, output data). Planio GmbH carries out no controls of the data and contents stored for the Customer in regard to a legal permissibility of the collection, processing and use; this is the sole responsibility of the Customer. Planio GmbH is only entitled to process and/or use the Customer-specific data exclusively upon instructions from the Customer (e.g. for the compliance with deletion and blocking obligations) and within the framework of this contract; Planio GmbH is particularly not permitted to make available to third parties, in any manner whatsoever, Customer-specific data, without the prior written consent of the Customer. This also applies if and to the extent that a change or a supplement of Customer-specific data occurs. However, Planio GmbH is entitled to process and use the data of the Customer (e.g. accounting data for the invoicing of services to the Customer) within the bounds of data privacy during the validity period of this contract.
4.4 The software application, server and operating software as well as other system components of Planio are operated by third parties in one or several data centers. The data centers are located within the Federal Republic of Germany. Planio GmbH is entitled to award subcontracts, yet it must impose upon the subcontractor the obligations according to the preceding clause.
4.5 Planio GmbH shall take the technical and organizational security precautions and measures in accordance with the Annex to § 9 BDSG. As a rule, the Customer is not entitled to demand access to the premises with the software application, server and operating software as well as other system components of Planio. This shall not affect the access rights of the Customer’s data protection officer to verify, after prior written announcement, the compliance with the requirements according to the Annex to § 9 BDSG as well as the other handling of the personal data by Planio GmbH in ways that conform to the law and the contract within the framework of operating Planio in accordance with this contract.
5.12 Until the point in time when the contract expires, to backup his existing data in the system via download, since it cannot be ruled out that after the contract expires the Customer is no longer able to access the data.
6.1 Planio GmbH shall be entitled, in the case of a violation of the law by the Customer or the users named by him against one of the important obligations established in this contract, particularly violations against the obligations named in § 5.6. – 5.8, to block access to Planio and its data. The access will once again be restored, but only if the violation against the affected important obligation has been permanently eliminated, or if the danger of repetition by the Customer against Planio GmbH can reliably be ruled out via an appropriate cease-and-desist declaration that carries a penalty. In such a case, the Customer remains obligated to pay the recurring prices.
6.2 Planio GmbH shall be entitled, in the case of a violation of § 5.6 – 5.8, to delete the affected data.
6.3 If there is a culpable violation on the part of the Customer in the case of § 6.1 and § 6.2, then the Customer is obligated to pay compensation. If the Customer is able to prove that there is no damage, then he has no obligation of paying compensation for damages. Planio GmbH reserves the right to assert other claims for compensation.
6.4 In the case of a violation of the law against one of the obligations established in § 5.6 – 5.8 on the part of a user, the Customer must communicate to Planio GmbH, immediately upon request, all data for asserting the claim against the user, particularly his name and address.
7.1 Recurring prices (e.g. monthly, yearly) are, beginning with the day of the provision as operationally ready after the end of a potentially granted cost-free trial period, to be paid in advance, each for the duration of the respective period of use (e.g. a month, a year). If a price is to be calculated for a part of a calendar month, then each day shall be calculated as 1/30 of the monthly price.
7.2 Other prices are to be paid after performance of the service.
7.3 Insofar as no SEPA direct debit procedure or credit card charge has been agreed upon, the invoiced amount must be credited to the bank account stated on the invoice at no cost and within seven days of receiving the invoice at the latest.
7.4 Invoices can be sent by Planio GmbH via e-mail. The time period for advance announcements of SEPA Direct Debit transactions (pre-notification) can be shortened to at least 1 day at the sole discretion of Planio GmbH.
8.1 During a default in payment by the Customer involving a significant amount of money, Planio GmbH shall be entitled to block the access to Planio. In this case, the Customer remains obligated to pay the recurring prices.
then Planio GmbH shall be entitled to terminate the contract without notice and to demand an immediate compensation as a lump-sum payment that amounts to one-fourth of the recurring charges payable up to the end of the regular term of the agreement.
8.3 The amount of damages shall be higher or lower, if Planio GmbH proves that the loss suffered was greater or the Customer proves that it was less, respectively.
8.4 Planio GmbH reserves the right to assert further claims due to default in payment.
8.5 Should Planio GmbH be in default with the operational provision, the liability shall be in accordance with § 9. In such a case, the Customer shall only be entitled to withdrawal from the contract, if Planio GmbH does not adhere to a reasonable grace period set by the Customer, which must amount to at least two weeks.
9.1 Planio GmbH shall be held liable without limitations by the Customer, in the case of intent or gross negligence for all damages caused by it as well as its legal representatives or vicarious agents.
9.2 In the event of slight negligence, Planio GmbH shall be subject to unlimited liability in cases of damage to life, limb or health. Moreover, Planio GmbH shall only be liable insofar as it has violated an essential contractual obligation (cardinal duty). In such cases, the liability is limited to the reimbursement of the foreseeable, typically occurring damages. For an individual case of damage, the liability shall be limited to the contract value; if recurring amounts are being paid, to the amount of compensation per contract year. Additionally and most important, the liability of Planio GmbH, or damages and reimbursement of expenses due to slight negligence - regardless of the legal basis - shall be limited to a total of 100 per cent of the agreed reimbursement at the conclusion of the contract. The liability in accordance with § 9.1 and 9.2 (1) remains unaffected by this clause.
9.3 The strict liability of Planio GmbH for compensation of damages (§ 536 a BGB) for defects existing at the time of contract conclusion shall be excluded. § 9.1 and 9.2 remain unaffected.
9.4 The liability pursuant to regulations of the Produkthaftungsgesetz (German Product Liability Act) remains unaffected.
10.1 Planio GmbH shall be exempt from performing its service under this agreement, if and when the non-performance of services is due to the circumstances of force majeure following the conclusion of this contract.
10.2 Examples of force majeure include war, strikes, unrest, expropriation, substantial changes in law, storms, floods and other natural disasters as well as other circumstances beyond the power of Planio GmbH, especially water penetration, power cuts and interruptions to or destruction of lines transmitting data.
10.3 Each contracting party is to inform the other contracting party immediately in suitable form on the occurrence of force majeure circumstances.
11.1 The contract shall become effective via registration of a Planio instance. If a cost-free trial period or entirely cost-free use has been granted, then the contract automatically ends with its expiration. No obligation of payment results from this. If the Customer orders a fee-based use of Planio, then the contract is automatically renewed for the duration of a usage period respectively. Insofar as no other time period is agreed upon, the duration of a usage period is one month.
11.2 The Customer can terminate the contractual relationship at any time. The contract ends at the point in time when the termination is received by Planio GmbH. Otherwise, the contract is renewed for the duration of a usage period respectively. In the case of a termination by the Customer, the Customer must pay the full price for the then-current usage period, which is not reimbursable. Planio GmbH can terminate the contractual relationship at any time with notice of one month effective at the end of the current usage period.
11.3 The right to termination for an important reason remains unaffected.
11.4 The Customer can change to a different plan at any time. The usage volumes will be immediately adjusted according to the new plan. If the duration of a usage period is one month, then the price of the new plan will be charged only starting with the subsequent usage period. Otherwise, the difference between the old and the new price will be charged or reimbursed, provided that no discounts had been previously granted.
11.5 All terminations and plan changes in accordance with this contract must be made via the administration area within the Planio instance of the Customer or in writing.
12.1 The Customer may only assign the rights and obligations from this contract to third parties after the previous written consent of Planio GmbH. Planio GmbH, however, is entitled to assign the rights and obligations from this contract to a group company in accordance with § 15 Aktiengesetz (German Stock Corporation Act).
12.3 German law shall apply to the contractual relationships. The place of jurisdiction is Berlin.
