    1. Neither You nor System One shall be entitled to terminate the Services Contract for convenience with effect prior to the end of the Initial Service Term or any Renewal Service Term (Ausschluss der ordentlichen Kündi­gung).

  16. LIMITED WARRANTY

    1. System One warrants (gewährleistet) that the Services will, in all ma­terial respects, conform to the functionality described in then-current Documentation for the applicable Services version. In case of a breach of this warranty System One shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to modify the Services to conform in all material respects to the Do­cu­mentation, and if System One is unable to materially restore such functionality within thirty (30) days from the date of written notice of said breach, You shall be en­titled to terminate the Services Contract upon written notice and receive a pro-rata refund of the unused Services Fees which have been paid in advance (if any) for unused access to the Services. You must notify System One in writing of any warranty breaches and You must have installed and configured the Services in accordance with the Documentation to be eligible for the foregoing remedy. System One is not liable for the existence of initial errors (anfängliche Mängel) under § 536a BGB. Your claims for damages for a breach of this warranty are subject to the limitations set forth in Clause 18.

    2. Under no circumstances shall You be entitled to obtain the source code of the Services.

    3. You have checked that the specification of the Services as described in the Documentation meets Your needs and wishes. You are aware of the essential functionalities and features of the Services. The extent, nature and quality of the goods and services to be delivered by System One are determined by these Terms, the Order and the Documentation. Any other information only forms part of the Services Contract if You and System One explicitly so agree in writing or if System One explicitly so confirms in writing. Product descriptions, illustrations, test programs, etc. represent mere service specifications but do not constitute guarantees (Garantien) or agreements on certain specifications (Beschaffenheitsvereinba­rungen). In order to be valid, an agreement on a guarantee requires the written confirmation from a director of System One.

  17. INDEMNITY

    1. Without prejudice to any other liability of You under contract or statutory law, You shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless, at Your expense, System One and its Affiliates, its suppliers and resellers against any third party claim to the extent such claim arises from or is made in connection with Your breach of Clause 4 or otherwise from Your use of the Services, and You shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded against System One by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such claim.

    2. In connection with any claim for indemnity under this Clause 17, System One must promptly provide You with notice of any claim that System One believes is within the scope of the obligation to indemnify, provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve You of Your obligations under this Clause 17, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices Your defense of such claim. System One may, at its own expense, assist in the defense if it so chooses, but You shall control the defense and all negotiations related to the settlement of any such claim. Any such settlement intended to bind System One shall not be final without System One’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

    3. System One agrees at its expense to defend You against (or, at System One’s option, settle) any third-party claim to the extent such claim alleges that the Services infringe or misappropriate any patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret of a third party, and System One shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded against You by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such claim. In the event that the use of the Services is, or in System One’s sole opinion is likely to become, subject to such a claim, System One, at its option and expense, may (A) replace the applicable Services with functionally equivalent non-infringing technology; (B) obtain a license for Your continued use of the applicable Service; or (C) (partially) terminate the relevant Service Contract and provide a pro-rata refund of the Service Fees that have been paid in advance for the applicable Services (beginning on the date of termination). The foregoing indemnity obligation of System One shall not apply: (i) if the Services are modified by You or Your agent; (ii) if the Services are combined with other non-System One products, applications, or processes, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; or (iii) to any unauthorized use of the Services. The foregoing shall be Your sole remedy with respect to any claim of infringement of third party intellectual property rights.

  18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    1. System One shall be unrestrictedly liable for (A) injury to life, body or health caused by System One, its legal representatives (gesetzliche Vertreter) or assistants in performance (Erfüllungsgehilfen); (B) damage caused intentionally (vorsätzlich) or with gross negligence (grob fahrlässig) by System One, its legal representatives or executive staff; (C) damage caused intentionally by System One’s assistants in performance not mentioned in (B); (D) damage resulting from the absence of any guaranteed (garantiert) characteristics; and (E) claims under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).

    2. System One shall be liable for damage resulting from the breach of its primary obligations (Kardinalpflichten) hereunder by System One, its legal representatives, senior executives or assistants in performance. Primary obligations are such basic duties which form the essence of the Services Contract, which were decisive for the conclusion of the Services Contract and on the performance of which You may rely. If the breach of such primary obligation was caused (A) through simple negligence by System One, its legal representatives or executive staff; or (B) through simple or gross negligence by System One’s assistants in performance not mentioned in (A), then System One’s ensuing liability shall be limited to the amount which was foreseeable by System One at the time the respective Service was performed.

    3. Subject always to Clauses 18.1 and 18.2, System One shall not be liable for damage resulting from the breach of non-primary obligations through (A) simple negligence of System One, its legal representatives or executive staff or (B) simple or gross negligence of System One’s assistants in performance not mentioned in (A).

    4. System One shall not be liable for any loss, damage or harm suffered by You that is directly or indirectly caused by Your unauthorized use of the Services to process Prohibited Data.

    5. System One shall be liable for loss of data only up to the amount of typical recovery costs which would have arisen had proper and regular backup measures been taken by You.

    6. Subject always to Clause 18.1, the total liability of System One arising out of or in connection with the Services Contract, whether in contract or tort or otherwise shall in no circumstances exceed a sum equal to 100 % of the total Service Fees paid (plus Service Fees payable) by You in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event which gave rise to the liability.

    7. Any other liability of System One not covered by this Clause 18 is excluded on the merits.

  19. SECURITY

    1. You shall ensure that User identities, passwords, and equivalent obtained by You in conjunction with registration for the Services are stored and used in a secure manner and cannot be accessed and thereby used by third parties. You shall be liable for any unauthorized use of the Services.

    2. Where it is suspected that any unauthorized person has become aware of a User identity and/or password, You shall immediately inform System One thereof and also change such User identity and/or password.

    3. You shall be liable for losses or damage incurred by System One where You intentionally or negligently reveal a User identity/password to a third party or where a User identity and password otherwise become known to an unauthorized party, unless You notify System One immediately upon suspicion that such has occurred.

    4. System One shall adopt reasonable measures to ensure that the security of the Services meet relevant industry standards. System One’s security measures are set forth in the System One Security Policy, which is available upon request.

  20. NO SET-OFF | LIMITATION OF RIGHT OF RETENTION

    1. You may only invoke a right to set-off and assert a right of retention to the extent that its claims have been (A) finally established by a court of law; (B) are uncontested; or (C) have been acknowledged by System One.

  21. ASSIGNMENT | NOVATION

    1. You may not assign (übertragen) the Services Contract without the prior written approval of System One and any purported assignment in breach of this Clause 21 shall be void. System One may at its discretion assign, transfer, subcontract or novate the Services Contract and/or any associated rights to assign the Services Contract in whole or in part.

    2. You shall, at System One’s request, promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) days, enter into a novation agreement in such form as System One shall reasonably specify in order to enable System One to exercise its rights pursuant to this Clause 21.

  22. SEVERANCE

    1. Should any provision of the Services Contract including the Order and these Terms be or become ineffective or invalid in whole or in part, the effectiveness and validity of the other provisions shall not be affected. Such ineffective or invalid provision shall be replaced by a provision which comes as close as legally possible to what the Parties would have agreed, pursuant to the meaning and purpose of the original provision and of the Services Contract if they had recognized the ineffectiveness or invalidity of the original provision. If the ineffectiveness or invalidity of a provision is based on the determination of a certain level of performance or a certain time (deadline or fixed date), such ineffective or invalid level or time shall be replaced by the level or time which comes as close as legally possible to the original level or time. The foregoing shall also apply to any possible omission in the Services Contract including the Order and these Terms that was not intended by the Parties. It is the express intention of the Parties that this savings clause does not just have the effect of shifting the burden of proof but that § 139 BGB is entirely dispensed with.

  23. ENTIRE AGREEMENT | CHANGES

    1. The Services Contract including the Order and these Terms represent the entire agreement between You and System One in respect of its subject matter and supersede and extinguish all prior negotiations, arrangements, understanding, course of dealings or agree­ments made between the Parties in relation to its subject matter, whether written or oral.

    2. Valid amendments or supplements to these Terms must be made in writing explicitly referencing the Clauses of these Terms to be amended or supplemented. The same shall apply to any agreement to deviate from or cancel this requirement of written form.

    3. System One may amend and/or update these Terms with future effect from time to time and as necessary for technical, economic or legal reasons. Any revision of these Terms shall be announced to You in text form (simple email shall suffice) no later than six (6) weeks before their proposed effective date. You may either approve or object to the revision before their proposed effective date. The revision shall be deemed approved by You, unless You object to the revision before their proposed effective date. System One shall expressly inform You thereof in the respective announcement.

  24. GOVERNING LAW | JURISDICTION

    1. The Services Contract and any issues, disputes or claims (whether contractual or non-contractual) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The United Nations Convention on Services Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply.

    2. The parties agree that the courts of Berlin (Germany) shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (whether contractual or non-contractual) that arises out of or in connection with the Services Contract or its subject matter or formation.

  25. MISCELLANEOUS

    1. The person signing or otherwise accepting the Order and these Terms for You represents that it is duly authorized by all necessary and appropriate corporate action to enter the Services Contract on behalf of You.

    2. System One shall be entitled to retain subcontractors, including third party software suppliers, for the performance of any of its obligations in accordance with the Services Contract.

    3. You shall only be entitled to offset with claims vis-à-vis System One’s claims or exercise a right of retention if the claims or the right of retention of You have been determined with legal effect or are not disputed by System One.

    4. You shall not assign (abtreten) any of Your rights or obligations under any Order and these Terms without the prior written consent of System One.

    5. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of the Services Contract and You do not have any authority of any kind to bind System One in any respect whatsoever.
