Any liability on the part of 123onsite is excluded in this case.
17.7 The customer must regularly carry out data backups and failure precautions appropriate to the type of data and risk. 123onsite points out that before the installation of updates and/or the performance of maintenance and support services by 123onsite or other interventions by 123onsite or by third parties commissioned by 123onsite, a data backup must be carried out in order to avoid data loss, in particular for the data created with the software (e.g. project data).

17.9 In particular, the customer must make the necessary settings to its firewall, virus protection or similar data protection mechanisms and its network or server to ensure the functionality of the software.
17.10 The aforementioned obligations to cooperate are essential contractual obligations. If the customer fails to cooperate, 123onsite shall not be responsible or liable for any resulting restriction or postponement of the contractual services or for any resulting damage. For example, 123onsite shall not be liable for any resulting loss of data or for any delay in the extension of any performance deadlines to be met by 123onsite caused by the breach of cooperation obligations.
17.11 In this case, 123onsite shall make reasonable efforts to fulfill the contractual services regardless of the lack of cooperation.

Such an inspection shall be carried out by an expert selected and appointed by 123onsite. This expert shall draw up a summary report in which he shall set out his findings, but shall not provide 123onsite with any information other than that which becomes known to the expert during his examination and/or inspection. The costs of this inspection shall be borne by 123onsite, unless the inspection reveals that the customer has not complied with a provision of a 123onsite contract. In this case, the costs shall be borne by the customer.
19. liability
19.1 If 123onsite intentionally or grossly negligently breaches an obligation, irrespective of its nature and legal basis, in particular arising from the contractual relationship or in the event of the intentional or grossly negligent commission of a tortious act, 123onsite shall be liable for the resulting damage suffered by the customer in accordance with the law.
19.2 If 123onsite merely breaches an obligation through simple negligence, irrespective of the type and legal basis, in particular arising from the contractual relationship or in the case of simple negligence in the commission of a tortious act, claims for damages by the customer against 123onsite shall be excluded, unless there is a simple negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) In this case, the liability of 123onsite shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. An essential contractual obligation in this sense is one whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract, whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on whose compliance the customer regularly relies and may rely.
19.3 The above exclusions and limitations of liability shall not apply in the event of liability for culpable injury to life, limb or health, nor in the event of liability for fraudulent concealment of a defect, nor in the event of liability for non-fulfillment of a guarantee of quality (Section 444 BGB), nor in the event of liability under the Product Liability Act.
19.4 If it is necessary to restore data or components (such as hardware, software, etc.), 123onsite shall only be liable for the expenditure required for the restoration in the event of proper data backup and failure precautions by the customer. In the event of slight negligence on the part of 123onsite, this liability shall only apply if the customer has carried out data backups and failure precautions appropriate to the type of data and components prior to the incident. This shall not apply if this has been contractually agreed as a service on the part of 123onsite.
19.5 123onsite assumes no liability for sample/demo data provided with software, in particular not for work results obtained on the basis of the data.

Part B – License terms (purchase and rental/SaaS)
1. general
1.1 The following Special License Terms (purchase and rental/SaaS) apply to all software products to be supplied to customers by 123onsite and made available for use.
2 Subject matter of the agreement
2.1 The software is licensed according to various licensing models (e.g. license purchase or license rental, license rental in the form of SaaS), depending on the scope of the license and its chargeability. The relevant license model is specified in the license agreement.
2.2 The subject matter of the license agreement is the permanent (in the case of a license rental and SaaS, limited to the term of the license agreement) provision of the software specified therein, including the associated user manual/online help and the granting of the rights of use described in Section 5 Part B . In the case of SaaS, the software is provided in its current Tier via an Internet connection. The transfer point for the services is the router output of the data center used by 123onsite to the Internet. 123onsite reserves the right to update the software regularly in order to ensure that the software is up-to-date and accurate.
2.3 All rights to the source code of the software are vested exclusively in 123onsite. The customer has no claim to access or surrender of the source code.
2.4 The product description is conclusively authoritative for the quality of the functionality of the software supplied by 123onsite. In the case of SaaS , the current version of the product description shall apply. The information contained therein is to be understood as performance descriptions and quality agreements and not as
2.5 123onsite does not owe any further quality of the software (such as, for example, that it meets objective requirements). In particular, the customer cannot derive such an obligation from other representations of the software in public statements or in the advertising of 123onsite, unless 123onsite has expressly confirmed the additional quality in writing (written form in accordance with 126 BGB is required; Section 2.4 Part A shall not apply in this respect). Guarantees require express written confirmation (written form in accordance with Section 126 BGB is required; Section 2.4 Part A does not apply in this respect) by the management of 123onsite.
2.6 123onsites may provide the customer with the user manual either in writing, electronically, on a data carrier, within the respective product or online.
2.7 The customer has informed himself about the essential functional features of the software and bears the risk as to whether it meets his wishes and requirements. He must seek advice on any questions of doubt before concluding the contract. The technical system requirements of the software (e.g. with regard to database, operating system, hardware and data carrier) are part of the license agreement and will be communicated by 123onsites on request.
2.8 License purchase and license rental: The customer is ultimately responsible for the correct installation of the software in his client-server environment. At the customer’s request, 123onsite shall support the customer in the installation of the software at the prices applicable at 123onsite at that time and on the basis of licenses to be ordered separately.
2.9 Availability for SaaS: 123onsite shall provide the contractual services with an availability of 99%. This availability is calculated on the basis of the time allotted to the respective calendar year in the contractual period minus the following
defined maintenance work.
2.10 123onsite is entitled to temporarily suspend or restrict the availability of the contractual service outside the operating hours (hereinafter referred to as “down times”) in order to carry out maintenance work or improvements to the software. Operating hours are all working days Monday to Friday – with the exception of public holidays at the headquarters of 123onsite – from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. CET.
2.11 However, the down times within the maintenance window may not exceed ten hours per month. Every quarter of an hour or part thereof is counted as a whole hour.
The period from the occurrence of the unavailability of the services within the agreed operating time until the end of the unavailability is defined as unplanned downtime.
When determining availability, such downtimes are not taken into account that
- (a) 123onsite is not responsible, in particular impairments caused by failures and/or malfunctions of technical systems and/or network components outside the area of responsibility of 123onsite; in particular failures caused by improper use of software or hardware by the customer;
- (b) maintenance work agreed with the customer or unforeseen maintenance work for which 123onsite is not responsible
- 2.12 If 123onsite uses a third-party provider/third-party software (see definition in Section 1 Part A) to provide the contractual services, the license or usage provisions agreed with this third-party provider (or for this third-party software) shall apply. In the event of contradictions, these provisions of the third-party provider/third-party provider software shall take precedence over these GTC.
3. demarcation
3.1 The following services are not part of the license agreement and must be agreed separately:
- Consulting (processes, analysis of connections or existing processes, etc.)
- Support with the installation of the software
- Training in the software
- Support with data migration or conversion
- Support with the parameterization of the software
- Project coordination, project documentation
3.2 Maintenance and support of the software

3.3 Termination of the Maintenance and Support Agreement shall not affect the License Agreement in the License Purchase model.
(b) License rental and SaaS: In the case of a license agreement of the license rental model, software maintenance and support is part of the service offer. In this respect, the Special Provisions Maintenance and Support of these GTC apply (see Part D). The agreement on software maintenance and support can only be terminated at the same time as the termination of the license agreement. Upon termination of the license agreement, the agreement for software maintenance and support also ends automatically.
4. provisions for work services
4.1 The provision of standard software for use and the rendering of services shall not be deemed to be a contract for work and services. Insofar as 123onsite provides work services in accordance with the contract of a separate written agreement, if applicable, or the parties expressly agree on work services for other services, the provisions of Part E “Provisions for Customer-Specific Software Customization” shall apply to these services with priority and/or in addition.
5. right of use
5.1 Rights of use
(a) License Purchase: 123onsite grants the customer, subject to the condition precedent of final and full payment of the purchase price, the non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use the software and documentation in accordance with the terms of the license agreement.

5.2 The customer warrants that it will use the software for its own business purposes and exclusively in the exercise of its commercial activity.
5.3 The customer acknowledges the copyrightability of the software and the user manual. Furthermore, the customer recognizes the software as a trade secret of 123onsite.
5.4 Machine license: The customer is only entitled to use the software on the number of clients agreed in the license agreement (single-user application). Simultaneous storage, keeping in stock or use of a license on more than one client is not permitted. Use of the software within a network or other client-server environment is only permitted if this does not create the possibility of simultaneous multiple use of the software.
5.5 Concurrent User (pay-per-use): Concurrent user licenses grant the customer the right to use the software for a group of users. The maximum number of users who may access the software at the same time is specified in the license agreement (license quantity).
5.6 The agreed license quantity must be complied with. Use of the software within a network or via remote data transmission is permitted if this does not exceed the agreed license quantity. Installation of the software is also permitted on a number of clients that exceeds the agreed license quantity as long as care is taken to ensure that the agreed license quantity is not exceeded.
5.7 It may first be necessary to log out an active user so that another employee can gain access. In principle, any number of users can be created in the software, but simultaneous use of the software is limited by the license quantity.
5.8 Named User (pay-per-license): A named user license gives the customer the right to use the software for an exact number of registered users. The number of defined users who may access the software is specified in the license agreement. Defined users receive their own access data that allows them to access the software. Passing on the access data to non-defined users is not permitted.
5.9 The customer shall owe a license fee for each component of the software for which a right of use is granted in accordance with the license agreement. The license fee is due regardless of whether the customer uses the component of the software.
6. revocation of the right of use
6.1 123onsite may revoke the customer’s right of use and/or terminate the contract if the customer significantly exceeds his rights of use or significantly violates the right of use (in accordance with Section 5 Part B) or instructions for use (in accordance with Section 7 Part B) or decompilation (in accordance with Section 12 Part B). 123onsite shall grant the customer a grace period in writing to remedy the situation. In the event of recurrence and in special circumstances which justify immediate revocation after weighing up the interests of both parties, 123onsite may declare revocation without setting a deadline.
6.2 The sole revocation of the right of use shall not simultaneously constitute termination of the license rental agreement.
6.3 The customer shall confirm the cessation of use to 123onsite in writing after revocation. The claim of 123onsite to remuneration for use exceeding the agreed use shall remain unaffected. 123onsite shall grant the customer the right of use again after the customer has demonstrated and assured 123onsite in writing that there are no longer any infringements of the right of use or obligations and that previous infringements and their consequences have been eliminated.
7. instructions for use
7.1 The customer is obliged to use the software properly in compliance with the provisions of the license agreement and the user manual. Notwithstanding the provisions of these GTC, the customer is prohibited from copying, reproducing, translating, adapting, analyzing, decompiling, recreating, modifying, reconstructing, duplicating or otherwise modifying the software and/or the user manual in any way, in whole or in part, without the express prior written consent of 123onsite.
7.2 The customer may make a copy for backup purposes (backup for recovery) and, in the case of a licensed test environment, to create this test environment. In principle, only one single backup copy may be made and stored. If several backup copies are created on the basis of a multi-generation backup, the entirety of these backup copies shall be deemed one copy. This backup copy must be labeled as such for the software provided. The backup copies may only be used for purely archival purposes and only as a replacement for the original software that can no longer be used.
7.3 Editing (extension, modification etc.) of the content is only permitted within the scope and extent of the license agreement. All results arising from such editing, extensions or adaptations, including any new content resulting therefrom, shall remain the intellectual property of 123onsite. The customer is granted a right of use to these results within the scope of the original license agreement.
7.4 If the customer violates the right of use (in accordance with Section 5 Part B) and/or the instructions for use (in accordance with Section 7 Part B), the parties agree that the customer shall pay 123onsite a contractual penalty of an appropriate amount, irrespective of fault, whereby 123onsite shall determine the amount at its reasonable discretion within the meaning of Section 315 BGB and the appropriateness of the contractual penalty may be reviewed by the competent court in the event of a dispute. The right to claim further damages remains reserved. 123onsite shall set the customer a reasonable grace period for remedial action beforehand. In the event of recurrence and in special circumstances which justify an immediate contractual penalty after weighing up the interests of both parties, 123onsite may claim the contractual penalty without setting a deadline.
7.5 In addition, 123onsite may revoke the customer’s right of use in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 Part B .
8. term and termination for license rental and SaaS
8.1 The commencement of the license agreement as well as the term and termination options are set out in the license agreement. If no commencement date has been agreed in an individual case, the license agreement shall commence on the first or fifteenth day of a month following delivery of the software.

11. system requirements
11.1 The customer must ensure that the customer’s own hardware and software and the server-client environment (in particular operating systems, network etc.) used for the use of the software products and services of 123onsite meet the technical requirements of 123onsite which are necessary for the proper use of the software. The corresponding system requirements shall be made available to the customer on request.

If it is not a standard interface, the interface information shall be provided against reimbursement of a cost contribution. 123onsite reserves the right to obtain comprehensible proof of the necessity of obtaining the information from the customer.
12.2 The actions necessary to establish interoperability may only be entrusted to third parties who are in an actual or potential competitive relationship with 123onsite if 123onsite does not wish to carry out the desired actions in return for payment. 123onsite must be granted a sufficient period of time (which may not be less than 30 days) to examine the acceptance of the order and must be informed of the name of the third party.

(b) Rental license and SaaS: 123onsites shall provide the software to the customer in a condition suitable for contractual use in accordance with Section 535 (1) sentence 2 BGB and shall maintain it in this condition during the rental period.
16.2 In the event of proven material defects, 123onsite shall initially provide warranty through subsequent performance in such a way that 123onsite shall, at its discretion, either provide the customer with defect-free software (replacement delivery) or remedy the defect (rectification). As part of the replacement delivery, the customer shall, if necessary, accept a new version of the software if the contractual scope of functions is retained and this does not lead to unreasonable impairments for the customer.
16.3 The defect can also be remedied by naming a workaround for the defect (workaround) or sufficient instructions for remedying the defect.
16.4 A rectification of defects through the delivery of updates and new version deliveries shall not give rise to a new liability for defects for the entire software product. A new liability for defects shall only arise with regard to the new features of the updates or new version delivery compared to the previous one
16.5 The customer shall support 123onsite without restriction in the search for defects. In particular, the customer is obliged to observe the symptoms that have occurred as well as the software and hardware environment in accordance with 123onsite’s specifications and to describe the defects in the best possible way so that they can be reproduced. In addition, the customer is obliged to provide 123onsite with all documents and information in text form that 123onsite requires to assess and rectify the defect to a reasonable extent.
16.6 The defect evaluation shall take place at the headquarters of 123onsite. 123onsite shall be entitled to process the defect by means of remote maintenance (remote access) and the customer shall grant 123onsite access to its client-server environment and the installed software for this purpose, either directly or by means of remote data transmission. If this support is refused, 123onsite shall not be obliged to further investigate or rectify the defect.
16.7 Failure of subsequent performance
(a) License purchase: If 123onsite refuses subsequent performance or if subsequent performance finally fails or is unreasonable for 123onsite, the customer shall be entitled to a reduction in the purchase price or rescission of the contract and/or – within the scope of Section 19 Part A – to compensation for damages or expenses, subject to the statutory requirements.
In the event of rescission of the contract, the customer is obliged to send all copies of the software including any original data carriers, including any modified copies, to 123onsite or to destroy them at 123onsite’s request.
(b) License rental and SaaS: If 123onsite refuses subsequent performance or if subsequent performance finally fails or is unreasonable for 123onsite, the customer shall be entitled to a reduction in the rent or extraordinary termination of the contract under the statutory conditions and/or – within the scope of Section 19 Part A – a claim for damages or compensation.
16.8 The declaration of withdrawal, reduction or termination must be made in writing to 123onsite.
16.9 Claims of the customer that go beyond subsequent performance, the right of withdrawal, termination and reduction, in particular compensation for damages or expenses, including loss of profit or due to other financial losses of the customer, shall only exist to the extent of the liability provisions (see Section 19 Part A) in these GTC.
16.10 Defects of title
In the event of defects of title, 123onsite may, at its own discretion and expense: (a) procure for the customer the right to continue using the software in accordance with these GTC; (b) replace or adapt the software in such a way that there is no longer any infringement, provided that its functionalities remain essentially unchanged; or (c) if options (a) and (b) cannot be reasonably implemented in the opinion of 123onsite, terminate the contract with the customer, including the rights granted therein in respect of the infringing software products.
17. exclusion of liability for defects
17.1 Rental license and SaaS: Strict liability for defects already existing at the time of conclusion of the contract pursuant to Section 536a (1) BGB is excluded. The customer shall not be entitled to rectify defects himself at his own expense (Section 536a (2) BGB).
17.2 Insofar as the software supplied by 123onsite contains data collections, in particular prices, measured values and information on sizes and quantities, this data is non-binding sample data for which there is no claim to correctness and/or completeness. Incorrect data therefore does not constitute a defect and does not entitle the customer to rectification of defects.
17.3 The customer’s claim to rectification of defects is excluded if the defect is not reproducible or cannot be demonstrated on the basis of machine-generated output.
17.4 If the defects that have occurred are due to circumstances for which 123onsite is not responsible, the liability for defects shall lapse. This shall apply, for example, in the event of faults resulting from the use of unsuitable operating material (e.g. hardware, operating system, etc.) or if the customer has not complied with the system requirements. 123onsite is not obliged to convert software to other operating systems, another hardware system or another programming language. The risk of incompatibility of the software with the software or hardware used by the customer shall not be borne by 123onsite.
17.5 Liability for defects shall not apply if a defect is attributable to conduct or intervention by the customer, unless the conduct or intervention is not the cause of the defect, i.e. the defect would have occurred even without this conduct or intervention.
This includes in particular (a) improper use, maintenance, repair or modification of the software which was not carried out by 123onsite but by the customer or a third party, or (b) the use of the software supplied by 123onsite on hardware for which the software is not suitable in accordance with the product description and the user manual and/or system requirements, or (c) improper installation by the customer or a third party, unauthorized, operating system components as well as interfaces and parameters, use of unsuitable operating material and data carriers, or (d) interventions by the customer or a third party which override the technical test mechanisms and rules defined in the software or which create, change or delete data stored in the database via direct database access (“manipulation”) (e) changes to the parameterization by the customer or a third party outside the intended use of the software (i.e. which affect the system behavior in an undesirable way).i.e. which undesirably influence the system behavior).
17.6 Any contributory negligence on the part of the customer shall be attributed to the customer.
17.7 The customer shall bear the burden of proof that the defect is not attributable to any conduct or intervention by the customer and that it would have occurred even without such conduct or intervention.
17.8 Any liability for defects shall be excluded if the customer has not fulfilled its obligations to inspect and give notice of defects in accordance with Section 11 Part A
17.9 The customer is not entitled to withhold full payment due to a defect. Despite a defect, the customer shall be obliged to make payment in an amount appropriate to the value of the defective service. Until this reasonable payment has been made, 123onsites may withhold subsequent performance.
17.10 If 123onsite provides services in the search for or processing of defects without being obliged to do so, 123onsite may demand remuneration in accordance with the prices of 123onsite applicable at the time of the services. This shall apply in particular if a reported defect cannot be proven, cannot be attributed to 123onsite or the liability for defects ceases to apply for any other reason.
17.11 In particular, the additional expenditure incurred by 123onsite in the processing of defects due to the fact that the customer does not properly fulfill his obligations to cooperate, makes the search for defects more difficult or operates the software improperly shall also be remunerated.
18. statute of limitations
18.1 The limitation period for claims for defects is 12 months calculated from the start of the statutory limitation period.
18.2 The shortening of the limitation period shall not apply in the event of intent or gross negligence on the part of 123onsite, fraudulent concealment of the defect, personal injury (injury to life, limb and health) or in the event of the assumption of a guarantee or liability under the Product Liability Act.
18.3 The processing of a notice of defect by the customer by 123onsites shall only lead to the suspension of the limitation period insofar as the statutory requirements for this are met. This shall not result in a recommencement of the limitation period.
18.4 Subsequent performance (replacement delivery or rectification) can only affect the limitation period of the defect triggering the subsequent performance.
In addition to these Special Provisions “Part B License Terms (Purchase and Rental/SaaS)”, the General Provisions “Part A – General Provisions” apply.

In the case of a service which is an event with participants, the daily rate/hourly rate applies for a maximum number of five participants on the part of the customer. From the sixth participant onwards, a separate charge will be made in accordance with the respective service agreement.
5. price adjustment for continuing obligations
5.1 123onsite shall be entitled to adjust the amount of the remuneration to which it is entitled annually on January 1. This adjustment shall be announced by e-mail and/or by other means, for example via the customer portal.
5.2 The customer expressly agrees to an annual adjustment if this (at most) keeps pace with the consumer price index for Germany officially determined by the Federal Statistical Office (based on the last base year determined before the contract was concluded = 100 points).
5.3 In addition, 123onsite shall be entitled to adjust the amount of the remuneration to which it is entitled if and insofar as the purchase price of a third-party software/service changes for 123onsite.

In the event of recurrence and in special circumstances which justify immediate revocation after weighing up the interests of both parties, 123onsite may declare revocation without setting a deadline.
11.2 The sole revocation of the right of use shall not simultaneously be deemed to be a termination of the service agreement.
11.3 The customer shall confirm the cessation of use to 123onsite in writing after revocation. The claim of 123onsite to remuneration for use exceeding the agreed use shall remain unaffected. 123onsite shall grant the customer the right of use again after the customer has demonstrated and assured 123onsite in writing that there are no longer any infringements of the right of use or obligations and that previous infringements and their consequences have been eliminated.
12. complaints

Thereafter, the service provision shall be deemed to be in accordance with the contract.
13. provisions for work services
13.1 The provision of consulting services shall not constitute a contract for work and services. Insofar as 123onsite provides work services in accordance with the service agreement or any separately concluded agreement or the parties expressly agree on work services, the provisions of Part E “Customer-specific software customization” shall apply to these services with priority and in addition.

14.4 The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected.
14.5 Notice of termination must be given in writing.
14.6 If the customer terminates the contract or individual parts of the contract, 123onsites shall invoice all consulting services on a pro rata basis until the termination takes effect.
14.7 In addition, the customer shall reimburse 123onsite for those costs which 123onsite can prove to have incurred on the occasion and for the direct purpose of performing the terminated scope of services with due commercial care and which were or are no longer avoidable within the bounds of what is reasonable.
