§ 1 Definitions

Unless otherwise agreed upon in the License Agreement, Authorized Users are only those persons who are either shareholders (partners, associates) of the customer or are in a service, employment, or training relationship with the customer at the moment of contract conclusion. Any direct or indirect use by other persons is inadmissible.

(2) “Documentation” means the descriptions, instructions, and other documents concerning the software product.

(3) “Customer” is the contracting party of Products Up designated in the License Agreement. The term “Customer” means in particular entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 Civil Code [Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch – BGB]. Entrepreneurs are natural or legal persons or partnerships with legal personality who or which, when entering into a legal transaction, act in exercise of their trade, business or profession.

(4) “License Agreement” is the contract concluded by and between Products Up and the Customer on the basis of these Terms Of Lease For Software, which establishes in detail the specific services described in these Terms Of Lease For Software to be used by the Customer as well as the respective scope.

(5) “Object Code” is the machine-readable form of a software program whose command structure can be directly executed by a data processing installation.

(6) A “Project” is a container (within the meaning of a file), which can be fed with lines and which contains any and all lines to be processed by Products Up. One Project can have several data sources and can combine them to one uniform data feed.

(7) “Software Product” is the standard software program in Object Code described in Annex 1, which is operated by Products Up and provided for use as a cloud software solution for a limited period of time and which can be adapted at the request of the Customer by means of further developments tailored to the Customer’s needs, including any and all updates and upgrades which Products Up possibly provides to the Customer.

(8) “Source Code” is a software product written in a programming language, which enables a suitably trained expert to read and understand the code.

(9) “Update” is a refined version of the Software Product, which fixes bugs or circumvents them and possibly also contains minor service or feature enhancements.

(10) “Upgrade” is a refined version of the Software Product containing essential modifications, service or feature enhancements.

(11) “Administered Lines” means the sum of the lines imported with the Software Product consolidated for all projects. The number of lines administrated with the Products Up Software in one calendar month is calculated as follows: For example, if the Customer has three (3) projects with 5000 imported lines each, this would correspond to an amount of 15000 administered lines. This calculation also applies, in case projects are created with the same products in order to serve different countries. In this case, the projects shall be remunerated separately in accordance with the calculation described above. A “Project” is a container (within the meaning of a file), which can be fed with lines and which contains all lines to be processed by Products Up. One Project can have several data sources and can combine them to one uniform data feed.

§ 2 Application of the Terms Of Lease For Software, Contract Conclusion

(1) The license of the Software Product to the Customer and its use by the Customer are exclusively subject to these Terms Of Lease For Software. Products Up does not acknowledge any General Terms and Conditions of the Customer which are contrary to these Terms, deviate from statutory provisions, or amend these Terms, unless Products Up has explicitly consented to their applicability. In any event, this requirement of consent also applies in case Products Up provides the service without reservation or accepts payments in full knowledge of the existence of the General Terms and Conditions of the Customer.

(2) These Terms Of Lease For Software only apply with respect to entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 BGB, legal entities governed by public law, and special trusts under public law.

(3) At the Customer’s request, Products Up provides the Customer with a License Agreement to be signed and returned to Products Up; it becomes effective upon receipt by Products Up. In addition, these Terms Of Lease For Software apply.

§ 3 Service Obligations of Products Up

(1) Subject matter of the License Agreement is the license of the Software Product as cloud solution, which is exhaustively described in Annex 1, including the corresponding documentation and the licensing of the rights of use described in Section 5 during a limited period of time. Besides the services explicitly defined in the License Agreement and these Terms Of Lease For Software, the design and construction as well as the scope of services exhaustively described in Annex 1, the parties did not agree to any additional services. At the request of the Customers, the Parties can negotiate such additional services and agree to them in a separate agreement.

(2) The Software Product is provided to the Customer together with the Documentation of Products Up as a cloud solution after the access data has been made available, thereby enabling the Customer to use and apply the Software Product within the scope of the granted rights of use.

(3) The Customer’s obligations to cooperate described in Section 4 are not subject matter of Products Up’s service obligations. Therefore, Products Up is not responsible for the Customer’s Internet connection to the Software Product and the Internet, hardware, software, technical and license requirements which have to be met by the Customer.

(4) Any statements and explanations by Products Up concerning the Software Product which are made in advertising materials, on Websites and in the Documentation are solely a description of the design and construction and shall not be deemed to be a guarantee or contractual warranty of any feature.

(5) Products Up strives for an average availability of the Software Product of at least 97.5 % per calendar month. Decisive is the availability of the Software Product at the transfer point of the Software Product to the Internet. In this regard, the availability is calculated by the following formula: availability = (total time – total down time) / total time * 100 %.

(6) Within the scope of the calculation of the total down time, the following times will not be taken into consideration: (a) periods of non-availability due to Internet interruptions Products Up is not responsible for, other circumstances beyond the responsibility of Products Up, in particular those caused by force majeure; (b) periods of non-availability due to planned maintenance of the Software Product or the content which are carried out on a regular basis; (c) periods of non-availability due to unscheduled essential maintenance work which is necessary to eliminate malfunctions; if possible, the Customer will be notified of it; (d) periods of non-availability due to the fact that, temporarily, the necessary technical requirements for the access to the Software Product, which must be created by the customer, are not met, for example in case of disturbances of the Customer’s hardware.

(7) Products Up monitors all critical system parameters 24/7 via external surveillance solutions. All critical incidents will generate corresponding messages to the Products Up service team (current status always visible on: status-productsup.io).

(8) Products Up reserves its right to change the Software Product in order to adapt it to the state of the art, or to optimize the Software Product, in particular to improve the user-friendliness. A prerequisite for such change is that it is necessary to fix bugs, to correct errors, to update and complete the Software Product, to optimize the program or for licensing reasons. In the event that such a change results in a serious degradation of the services to which the Customer is entitled, and Products Up does not remedy the degradation within 30 calendar days in spite of a written request by the Customer to do so by finding a solution which meets the needs of the Customer in this regard as they were met at the time before the change or adaptation, the Customer is entitled to claim either a reduction of the remuneration corresponding to the degradation or to terminate the License Agreement without notice. The Customer can make use of such right of termination during a period of six (6) weeks after the change was made.
