Botshield - License Conditions
SUPPORT License Conditions of Botshield
The following Terms and Conditions can be downloaded from SenseCom IT Services Botshield-Website and be printed: http://www.botshield.de/doc/license Upon request to support@botshield.de, SenseCom IT will provide you with a digital or written version.
SenseCom IT operates its Botshield-Website under the domain of http://www.botshield.de for commercial purposes. Software-download is being offered via Internet.
1. These Terms and Conditions are only applicable to business with customers, if SenseCom IT offers or renders goods or services. Therefore they are not applicable for business, where SenseCom IT has placed an order or is purchasing goods or services.
2. These Terms and Conditions shall only apply vis á vis entrepreneurs within the meaning of sec. 14 BGB (German Civil Code). If contracting party is a consumer within the meaning of sec. 13 BGB, the statutory rule shall apply instead of these Terms and Conditions.
§ 2 Exclusive Validity of these Terms and Conditions; Individual Agreements
Any distribution of software and all services or goods in connection therewith are being rendered exclusively on the basis of these Terms and Conditions.
Deviating terms of the customer only become contractual basis when confirmed in writing by SenseCom IT. Even if those are not objected expressly, this does not constitute a tacit consent by SenseCom IT. These Terms and Conditions are applicable for current and also future services and goods rendered, even if SenseCom IT does not expressly refer to them. By conclusion of the contract the customer accepts these terms.
Any terms individually agreed with the customer (including additional agreements, amendments and modifications) take priority over these Terms and Conditions. With respect to the content of such agreements a written contract respectively a written confirmation is decisive.
In addition to a potential statutory right of revocation SenseCom IT grants a 30-day right of withdrawal.
If the customer is not satisfied with the software, SenseCom IT will within the first 30 days after the purchase reimburse 100% of the purchase price - no matter what the reason is. This 30-day right of withdrawal is only granted customers who are consumer (“end user”). Therefore it is for example not applicable to resellers or distributors.
The contractual language is English. Any offer of SenseCom IT on the website is subject to change without prior notice. Therefore SenseCom IT is not obligated to perform if the service or the good is not available. A conclusion of contract and therefore a contractual obligation to perform shall arise, if SenseCom IT has confirmed the customer’s order in text form. The confirmation of order-receipt is not a confirmation of the order itself. Generally the delivery is being performed by download. In that case the conclusion of contract commences by sending the contract-confirmation by email along with the download link and the key to unlock the software. These terms are also included in the contract-confirmation.
§ 5 Value Added Tax
the price displayed in the invoice includes VAT.
if a VAT-ID. is provided, the prices are net. The respective VAT has to be paid by the customer.
the prices shown on the invoice are net, VAT is not applicable.
1. The Payment is due in total upon receipt of the invoice
2. A cash-discount-deduction requires a prior written consent of SenseCom IT.
§ 7 Limited Warranty, Limited Liability
1. It cannot be warranted, that the software is compliant with the customer’s purpose and the customer’s hard- and software.
2. Although SenseCom IT created the software with diligence and expert knowledge, the contractual parties are aware that according to current state of the art it is not possible to create 100% defect-free software. The customer is therefore obligated, not only to comply with his duty to mitigate damage, to completely backup his data in appropriate regular intervals, before the initial installation and before update installations of the software and immediately when any indication of defect occurs.
3. The agreed character of the product is being defined by the product specifications. Insofar a product specification is not given, the character of the product shall be deemed to be of average character and quality.
4. No warranty claim shall be given, if a deviation of the agreed character is only insignificant or the usability is only slightly affected. SenseCom IT might carry out improvements at any time.
5. The documentation will only be updated when significant changes arise and will be provided by download from SenseCom IT’s website.
6. SenseCom IT is entitled to choose in its own discretion if a defect shall be remedied by way of fixing or delivery of a new product, e.g. the customer’s software be updated or a new software be delivered.
7. The customer is obligated to cooperate in remedying the defect, especially by downloading and installing an update.
8. In the best of SenseCom IT’s knowledge the software is free of third persons’ intellectual property rights, which could affect or exclude the customer’s contractual use of the software. The customer is obligated to immediately inform SenseCom IT of any indication of claims arising from an alleged violation of such intellectual property rights. Upon request the customer is also obligated to leave the defense against these claims to SenseCom IT and, when requested, to support SenseCom IT to a reasonable extent.
In case an infringement of third parties’ intellectual property rights by the performance of SenseCom IT be established legally binding, SenseCom IT will at its own discretion and cost either obtain the according license for the use of the violated intellectual property rights for the customer or alter the performance in such a way that the violation is ended but the software still complies to the contractual specifications. In case both remedies imply disproportionate costs and / or expenditure, SenseCom IT is entitled to withdraw from the contract and will then restitute performances obtained from the customer and, where required, compensate the customer for damages incurred.
9. The defects liability period is one year (pursuant to § 9 subsequence 3). Claims arising out of defects prescribe after one year beginning with their coming to existence.
10. In case the customer lodged a defects liability claim against SenseCom IT and it emerges that either there was no defect or SenseCom IT is not liable for the defect, the customer has to compensate SenseCom IT for all incurred expenses.
11. The remedy of defect by way of fixing the product shall be deemed to have failed when attempted vainly the second time. The customer then may at its own discretion either abate or withdraw. The customer’s right to claim compensation for damages according to these terms and conditions remains untouched.
12. The examination and notification duties according to § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) are applicable. The customer cannot base a claim on detected defects not given notice of to SenseCom IT immediately.
13. The customer shall illustrate the defect as precisely as possible.
14. The customer is obligated to take measures supporting the identification of the defect and its cause to a reasonable extent.
SenseCom IT is liable for damages arising from personal injury (culpable injury of life, body, health). This also applies for other damages arising from a deliberate or gross negligent violation of duties. SenseCom IT is also liable for damages arising from a slight negligent violation of an essential contractual duty and which are a typical consequence with respect to this type of contract. The latter liability is limited to the sum of three times the license fee. SenseCom IT’s liability for all other damages, which are not caused deliberately or gross negligently, is excluded. An essential contractual duty is given, if its fulfilment forms a precondition for the proper performance of the contract and in which fulfilment the customer normally relies on legitimately. A liability according to the Produkthaftungsgesetz (German Product Liability Code) remains unaffected.
1. SenseCom IT warrants that it has the full power and authority to enter into this agreement and to grant the licenses described in this agreement.
2. SenseCom IT warrants that for a period of six months after the customer accepts the terms of this agreement, the media, if any, on which the software is delivered, will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use. If any media is found to be defective during the warranty period, SenseCom IT will replace the defective media.
3. SenseCom IT warrants that for a period of two months after the customer accepts the terms of this agreement, the software will perform substantially as described in specifications for the software, including any user manuals and technical documentation. If a defect in the software causes the software not to perform according to this warranty, SenseCom IT will use reasonable efforts to promptly correct such defects. If SenseCom IT is unable within a reasonable period of time to correct such defects, customer may, at his option, and his sole remedy, terminate the license and return the software, including all related documentation, to SenseCom IT and receive a full refund of any license fees paid for the software.
4. Limitations of Warranty. SenseCom IT does not warrant that the operation of the software will be uninterrupted or error free. Furthermore, SenseCom IT does not warrant that the functions contained in the software will meet customer's requirements.
