However, we shall not be liable for cases of simple negligence on the part of our company bodies, legal representatives, employees, or other persons assisting us in performing our obligations, except<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>for damages arising from harm to life, limb, or health,<\/li>\n<li>for damages arising from breach of a key contractual duty (an duty that must in all cases be fulfilled in order for the Agreement to be performed and whose fulfillment is routinely assumed and trusted to occur by the parties to the Agreement).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>(3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the case of liability under subsection 2, sentence 2, however, our liability is limited to damages that we have foreseen upon execution of the Agreement as a possible consequence of breach of contract or that we should have foreseen upon the exercise of due diligence. Indirect damages and consequential damages resulting from defects in our contractual service, moreover, are only subject to compensation if such damages would normally be expected to occur if our contractual service were used as intended.<\/p>\n<p>(4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The limitations of liability resulting from subsection 2 do not apply if we fraudulently conceal a defect or if we have provided a guarantee of the Work\u2019s suitability for use. The same applies to the rights of the Client under the Produkthaftungsgesetz [German product liability law].<\/p>\n<p>(5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Client may only withdraw from or terminate the Agreement as a consequence of a breach of a duty that does not comprise a defect if we are accountable for the breach of the duty. The Client does not have an unrestricted right to termination. Otherwise, the statutory requirements and legal consequences apply.<\/p>\n<p>(6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The above exclusions from and limitations to liability apply to the same extent to our company bodies, legal representatives, employees, and other person assisting us in performing our obligations.<\/p>\n<p>(7)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If we provide technical information or provide advice and such activities are not included in the contractually agreed scope of services that we are to provide, this shall be done free of charge and excluded from any liability.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a711 Intellectual property rights and naming of copyright holders<\/h3>\n<p>(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If the item\/service being provided infringes a commercial intellectual property right or a copyright held by third party, we shall, at our discretion and at our expense, modify or replace the item\/service being provided so that rights of third parties are no longer infringed but the item\/service being provided continues to perform the contractually agreed functions, or we shall procure the usage right for the Client by entering into a license Agreement. If we are not able to do so within a reasonable time period, the Client may withdraw from the Agreement or reduce the compensation accordingly. Any rights of the Client to compensation for damages are subject to the restrictions of \u00a7 10 of these GTCs.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Client shall name the translator in an appropriate manner as the translation service provider without being expressly instructed to do so. If license Agreements are entered into with third parties, the Client shall likewise impose a corresponding requirement on the licensee.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a712 Handling data and confidentiality<\/h3>\n<p>(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In performing their contractual obligations, the parties agree to comply with statutory provisions and requirements pertaining to data protection, in particular the provisions of the Bundesdatenschutz- und Telemediengesetz [German federal data protection and telemedia law].<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The parties to the Agreement shall treat as confidential all information and factual knowledge concerning the parties to the Agreement, manufacturing methods, business and operating secrets, data, and documents, provided that this information comes from the respective other party to the Agreement. Each party to the Agreement shall ensure that such a disclosure, even by third parties who work at or on behalf of a party to the Agreement, cannot occur.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Excluded from the requirement to treat as confidential are data and information that<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>were already known to the recipient previously and to which a duty to treat as confidential did not exist, or<\/li>\n<li>were generally known or will become generally known, without the recipient being responsible therefor, or<\/li>\n<li>were communicated to or provided to the recipient by a third party without being subject to confidentiality requirements, or<\/li>\n<li>must be provided to government agencies pursuant to statutory requirements, or<\/li>\n<li>were released for publication in writing by the party providing the information, and<\/li>\n<li>are non-protected ideas, concepts, empirical knowledge, other methods and techniques, and information that is of a general nature or is obvious.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>\u00a713 Final provisions<\/h3>\n<p>(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply to these GTCs and to all legal relationships between us and the Client. International uniform law does not apply. If this law makes reference to provisions of foreign law, such references shall not apply.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If the Client is a merchant as defined by the Handelsgesetzbuch [German commercial code], a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the sole \u2013 including international \u2013 jurisdiction for all disputes arising directly or indirectly from this contractual relationship is the location of the headquarters of Eurotext AG. However, we also have the right to initiate legal proceedings in the Client\u2019s place of general jurisdiction. This provision does not apply to mandatory statutory requirements pertaining to exclusive jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Changes and amendments to this Agreement must be in writing. This clause itself may only be modified in writing.<\/p>\n<p>(4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If parts of this Agreement are or become null and void, the remaining parts of this Agreement are not affected thereby. In place of the clause that has become null and void, both parties shall agree to a clause that is in effect for both and that comes closest to the economic purpose of the part that is no longer in effect.<\/p>\n<p>(5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If the Agreement or these GTCs contain gaps in their provisions, the legally applicable provisions that come closest to those that would fill these gaps and that the parties to the Agreement, had they noticed the gaps in the provisions, would have agreed upon based on the economic objectives of the Agreement and the purpose of these General Terms and Conditions shall apply.<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclaimer: This is a translation of terms and conditions originally written in German.

We are not obligated to provide any Software Application functionality beyond this description.

If the rights are held by third parties, Eurotext AG has obtained corresponding rights to commercial utilization.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The contractual partner obtains simple rights to use the Software Application that cannot be sub-licensed and cannot be assigned and that are limited to the term of the Agreement subject to the provisions set forth below.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Unless otherwise agreed, the contractual partner shall only use the Software Application for interfacing with the Eurotext AG translation portal and for using this portal. The contractual partner may only utilize the Software Application for its own business activities.<\/p>\n<p>(4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The contractual partner may install and operate the Software Application for the contractually intended purpose, and may make the necessary copies of it.<\/p>\n<p>(5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The contractual partner is not authorized to make changes in the Software Application. This does not apply<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>to changes that are necessary to correct defects if Eurotext AG is late in correcting the defect, refuses to correct the defect, or cannot correct the defect due to the initiation of insolvency proceedings;<\/li>\n<li>to changes that are necessary to correct incompatibility problems when the Software Application interacts with other programs that are required by the contractual partner and Eurotext AG is not willing or able to correct the problems in exchange for reasonable compensation therefor at market rates;<\/li>\n<li>to Software Applications in which the source and object code is provided in open form and with express permission to modify the software application or individual software components.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>(6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If during the term of use Eurotext AG creates new versions, updates, upgrades, or other newly supplied items relating to the Software Application, the above rights also apply to these new items.<\/p>\n<p>(7)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The contractual partner is not entitled to any rights not expressly stated above. In particular, the contractual partner is not entitled to use the Software Application in a manner that goes beyond the<br \/>\nagreed-upon usage, nor is it entitled to make the software application accessible to third parties. In particular, it is not permitted to sell the Software Application or provide it for use for a limited time, and in particular renting, leasing, or lending are not permitted. This does not apply to the right of the contractual partner to have third parties install and configure the Software Application nor, if the requirements of paragraph 5 are met, to the right to make changes in the software application.<\/p>\n<p>(8)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If the Software Application contains components that are licensed as open-source software<br \/>\n(\u201cOpen-Source Components\u201d) and components that may only be used subject to the license conditions in paragraphs 1\u20137 (\u201cproprietary components\u201d), the contractual partner may use the Open-Source Components to the extent described in paragraphs 1\u20137. The contractual partner may acquire further usage rights to the<br \/>\nOpen-Source Components from the respective holders of these rights if the contractual partner enters into licensing Agreements with these holders under the terms and conditions of the respective open-source licenses. In this case, the use of the Open-Source Components is not covered by these usage terms and conditions but rather is based solely on the respective open-source licenses.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a74 Responsibilities of the contractual partner<\/h3>\n<p>(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The contractual partner has informed itself of the key functional features of the Software Application and accepts the risks associated with its needs and wishes; in cases of doubt, the contractual partner shall seek advice from us or from third parties competent in the field before entering into the Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The contractual partner shall observe the instructions and documentation provided by us or by our partners for the installation and operation of the software.

This data shall be protected by suitable conventional measures. The contractual partner shall inform us without delay if there is a suspicion that access data and\/or passwords might have become known to unauthorized persons.<\/p>\n<p>(6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The contractual partner is responsible for ensuring that its technical system (hardware and software as well as telecommunications connection) meets the requirements needed for it to be used with the Software Application of the Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>(7)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The contractual partner shall not engage in any unauthorized accessing of information or data nor shall it arrange for the unauthorized accessing of information or data, nor shall it intrude in an unauthorized manner in programs operated by us or arrange for unauthorized intrusion in programs operated by us, nor shall it penetrate our data networks in an unauthorized manner or assist in said unauthorized penetration of our data networks.<\/p>\n<p>(8)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The contractual partner shall hold us harmless from claims of third parties that are based on illegal use of the Software Application by the contractual partner or that arise from disputes relating to data protection, copyright law, or other legal matters that are associated with the use of the Software Application and are caused by the contractual partner.<\/p>\n<p>(9)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The contractual partner shall ensure that it observes all third-party rights to the material that it is using (for example, in the communication of third-party texts\/data to us).<\/p>\n<p>(10)\u00a0 The contractual partner shall, before sending data and information to us, check said data and information for viruses utilizing state-of-the-art virus protection programs.<\/p>\n<p>(11)\u00a0 The contractual partner shall take appropriate precautions for the possibility that the Software Application might not function properly.

In addition, the contractual partner shall perform regularly scheduled malfunction diagnostics and checks of the results of data processing. If the contractual partner does not expressly inform us in advance, we will assume that all data from the contractual partner with which we can come in contact has been backed up.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a75 Violations of the provisions of \u00a7\u00a7 3, 4 by the contractual partner<\/h3>\n<p>(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If the contractual partner violates the provisions of \u00a7 3 or \u00a7 4 for reasons attributable to the contractual partner, Eurotext AG may block the contractual partner\u2019s access to the Software Application and\/or the Eurotext AG translation portal if this is found to be necessary to correct the violation.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If the contractual partner violates \u00a7 4 subsection 4 in an illegal manner, Eurotext AG may erase the data that are involved. In the event of an illegal action by a user, the contractual partner shall communicate to Eurotext AG, upon request and without delay, all information needed to enforce claims against the user, in particular the user\u2019s name and address.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Further rights and claims remain unaffected.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a76 Warranty, violation of obligations<\/h3>\n<p><strong>(1) The following requirements apply to Software Applications that are provided free of charge as<br \/>\nopen-source software:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Unless otherwise confirmed in writing we and\/or third parties provide the Software Application \u201cas is\u201d without any voluntary or statutorily required warranties, neither express nor implied, \u2013 but not limited to \u2013 the implied warranty of market readiness or the usability for a particular purpose.

The warranty that the items covered by the Agreement are unencumbered by third-party rights only applies to the country of destination in which the items covered by the Agreement are to be used that is agreed upon by the parties. Unless expressly agreed, the warranty applies to the country in which the contractual partner has its business headquarters.<\/li>\n<li>In the event of material defects, we initially warrant subsequent performance. To accomplish this, we shall, at our discretion, provide the contractual partner with a new, defect-free software version or we shall correct the defects; the correction of defects is also deemed to occur if we inform our contractual partner of reasonable options for avoiding the effects of the defect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In the event of legal defects, we initially warrant subsequent performance. To accomplish this, we shall, at our discretion, make it possible for the contractual partner to use the supplied items under the Agreement in a way that is legally unobjectionable or to use replaced or modified equivalent items under the Agreement.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The contractual partner shall accept the new software version if the functional scope under the Agreement continues to be present.<\/li>\n<li>If the subsequent performance fails to remedy the problem, the contractual partner may set an appropriate time period in which the defect is to be corrected. If the subsequent performance also fails to remedy the problem in the time period set for correcting the defect, the contractual partner may withdraw from the Agreement or may reduce the compensation if the defect that is present is not insignificant. We shall compensate for damages or needless expenses resulting from a defect within the limits stipulated in \u00a7 7.<\/li>\n<li>If we perform services such as troubleshooting or debugging without being required to do so, we may seek compensation for same in accordance with our customary rates. This applies in particular if a defect is not detectable or if it cannot be attributable to us. Moreover, the additional expenses that we incur when the contractual partner fails to properly meet its responsibilities in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions must be compensated.<\/li>\n<li>If third parties exercise rights that prevent the contractual partner from utilizing the usage rights contractually granted to the contractual partner, the contractual partner shall inform us in detail in writing without delay. In doing so, the contractual partner shall empower us to enter into legal proceedings against third parties and to take independent out-of-court actions. If the purchaser is sued, it shall coordinate with us and shall only carry out proceedings relating to the suit, in particular acknowledgments and settlements, with our approval.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We shall defend against these claims at our expense and shall release the contractual partner from all expenses and damages associated with its defense, provided that said expenses and damages are not the result of the contractual partner\u2019s breach of its duties.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The contractual partner may only derive rights from other breaches of duties on our part if it has complained to us in writing of such breaches and has set a time period for remedying the matter. This does not apply if a remedy cannot be considered because of the nature of the breach of duties. The limits set in \u00a7 7 apply to compensation for damages or compensation for needless expenses.<\/li>\n<li>The limitation period for all warranty claims is one year, beginning with the delivery or availability for pickup of the items covered by the Agreement and the notification of the contractual partner thereof; the same limitation period applies to other claims of any type against us. In the event of acts of intent or gross negligence, fraudulent concealment of a defect, personal injuries, or legal defects under BGB \u00a7 438(1)(1a) and guaranties (BGB \u00a7 444), the statutory limitation periods apply; they also apply in claims under the Produkthaftungsgesetz [German product liability statute].<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>\u00a77 Limitation of liability<\/h3>\n<p>(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, we shall compensate for damages and needless expenses solely in accordance with the following limits:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>in the case of acts of intent, in the full amount, also in the case of a functionality guaranteed by us;<\/li>\n<li>in the case of gross negligence, only in the amount of the foreseeable damage that was to be prevented by the breached duty<\/li>\n<li>in other cases: only from violation of a key contractual responsibility if this threatens the purpose of the Agreement, but always only in the amount of the foreseeable damage;<\/li>\n<li>in addition, to the extent that we are insured for the damage that has occurred, within the scope of the insurance coverage and temporarily subject to payment of the insurance claim.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The limits of liability in subsection 1 do not apply to liability for harm to life, limb, or health or to liability under the Produkthaftungsgesetz [German product liability statute].<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We reserve the right to objections on grounds of contributory negligence.<\/p>\n<p>(4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The limitation period for liability claims is one year. However, the statutory limitation period applies for claims under subsections 1a) and b) as well as 2. The limitation period in sentence 1 begins with the time stipulated in BGB \u00a7 199(1). It begins no later than the expiration of the maximum periods stipulated in<br \/>\nBGB \u00a7 199(3) and (4).<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a78 Handling data and confidentiality<\/h3>\n<p>(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In performing their contractual obligations, the parties agree to comply with statutory provisions and requirements pertaining to data protection, in particular the provisions of the Bundesdatenschutz- und Telemediengesetz [German federal data protection and telemedia law].<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The parties to the Agreement shall treat as confidential all information and factual knowledge concerning the parties to the Agreement, manufacturing methods, business and operating secrets, data, and documents, provided that this information comes from the respective other party to the Agreement. Each party to the Agreement shall ensure that such a disclosure, even by third parties who work at or on behalf of a party to the Agreement, cannot occur. In addition, the applicable security requirements with regard to the responsibility to treat the data and documents of a party to the Agreement as confidential must be observed if they were communicated by the other party in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Excluded from the requirement to treat as confidential are data and information that<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>were already known to the recipient previously and to which a duty to treat as confidential did not exist, or<\/li>\n<li>were generally known or will become generally known, without the recipient being responsible therefor, or<\/li>\n<li>were communicated to or provided to the recipient by a third party without being subject to confidentiality requirements, or<\/li>\n<li>must be provided to government agencies pursuant to statutory requirements, or<\/li>\n<li>were released for publication in writing by the party providing the information, and<\/li>\n<li>are non-protected ideas, concepts, empirical knowledge, other methods and techniques, and information that is of a general nature or is obvious.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>\u00a79 Final provisions<\/h3>\n<p>(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply to these GTCs and to all legal relationships between us and the contractual partner. International uniform law does not apply. If this law makes reference to provisions of foreign law, such references shall not apply.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The sole \u2013 including international \u2013 jurisdiction for all disputes arising directly or indirectly from this contractual relationship or in conjunction to this contractual relationship is the location of the headquarters of Eurotext AG, provided that an applicable normative document does not mandate a different jurisdiction. Eurotext AG may also initiate legal proceedings against the contractual partner at the location of its headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Changes and amendments to this Agreement must be in writing. This clause itself may only be modified in writing.<\/p>\n<p>(4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If parts of this Agreement are or become null and void, the remaining parts of this Agreement are not affected thereby. In place of the clause that has become null and void, both parties shall agree to a clause that is in effect for both and that comes closest to the economic purpose of the part that is no longer in effect.<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclaimer: This is a translation of terms and conditions originally written in German.
