B. Terms of Delivery and Payment

13. Terms of Delivery

All Deliverables shall be delivered ex works Osterholz-Scharmbeck, Germany, Incoterms 2000. The prices quoted by Collax shall be deemed agreed on the same basis, and, unless otherwise agreed, Collax will arrange for shipping, packaging and insurance at the Customer’s expense.

14. Delivery Date

15. Partial Deliveries

Collax reserves the right to make partial deliveries.

16. Suppliers

Collax’ obligation to deliver any Deliverables shall be subject to the condition precedent that Collax shall have been supplied correctly and in due time by its suppliers.

17. Acceptance

Any Deliverables delivered and installed by Collax, and legally requiring acceptance under the Contract or statutory law, shall be accepted by the Customer within two weeks from installation in the presence of representatives of Collax, provided the Deliverable essentially complies with the specifications agreed between the parties. The Customer shall confirm the acceptance in writing. Prior to delivery of the acceptance certificate to Collax, the Customer shall refrain from using the Deliverable. In the event that the Customer uses the Deliverable prior to delivery of the acceptance certificate to Collax, such use shall be regarded as acceptance.

Collax is entitled to submit individual self-contained components or phases of Deliverables for separate, independent acceptance (acceptance in part). The complete Deliverable will then be deemed accepted after the last acceptance in part has taken place. In that case, no additional final acceptance for the complete Deliverable is required.

18. Terms of Payment

All invoices shall be paid upon receipt without any deduction, unless otherwise agreed. Customer will be deemed in default with a payment at the latest after expiry of two weeks from (i) the due date and (ii) receipt of Collax’ invoice.

19. Value Added Tax

Value Added Tax shall not be deemed included in the prices quoted by Collax, and, if applicable, it will be shown separately in the invoice at the rate prevailing on the date of the invoice and paid by the Customer.

20. Price List

Supplies and services not covered by the Contract shall be billed based on the price list prevailing at the time of receipt of the order.

21. Claims

The Customer shall not be entitled to set off any of its claims against claims of Collax, except where the Customer’s claims are undisputed or have been confirmed by a final court judgment.

The foregoing shall also apply to any right of retention under civil or commercial law, and in particular to any deductions from recurrent payments to Collax based on supposed defects of Deliverables. This shall, however, not limit Customer’s claim for repayment of any amounts paid but not owed to Collax after such payment to Collax.

Collax reserves the right to retain or suspend any performance under the Contract where Customer has not fulfilled a legal obligation to Collax, in particular where it is late on payments, even where such obligation to Collax is not based on, or related to, the Contract.

22. Responsibilities of the Customer

It shall be the Customer’s responsibility to comply with any technical guidelines, such as installation requirements, which the manufacturer may have issued, and to provide Collax with all information and assistance which Collax may reasonably require. In the event that Collax identifies to the Customer a third-party service provider, Collax shall not be deemed to have assumed any liability in respect of the performance of such third-party service provider.

23. Retention of Title

Until payment in full of the purchase price by the Customer, Collax shall retain title to the Deliverables. The Customer shall advise Collax without any delay of any attachments of any such Deliverables, in particular of any judicial execution measures or any other seizures, as well as of any damage suffered by such Deliverables. In the event that any Deliverable is shipped to or used in a country where this Retention of Title Clause is not fully valid and enforceable, the Customer shall provide Collax with equivalent security.

C. Property Rights

24. Property Rights

The Customer’s right to use any Deliverables supplied by Collax which are protected by intellectual property rights, shall be strictly limited to internal business purposes and otherwise as provided in the Contract and in these Conditions.

25. Derivative Works, New Materials

All right and title worldwide, including any right of use or exploitation, in or to any (a) modifications, alterations or derivate works of a Deliverable, even if discovered, developed or created by or for Customer, and (b) Deliverables or other works or results discovered, developed or created by Collax or Collax’s agents – whether or not in cooperation with the Customer - in connection with the Contract shall exclusively be owned by Collax. The Customer hereby transfers such right and title to Collax who accepts such transfer.

For the avoidance of doubt, Collax’s right or title shall not extend to any improvements independently developed by Customer to the extent that such improvements are separable, i.e. can be exploited without infringing upon Collax’s rights in the Deliverable.

Where an assignment is not legally possible, Customer guarantees that Collax will receive a fully paid, exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, transferable and sublicensable license for all known methods of use. The Customer hereby grants such license to Collax who accepts such license. Where such development is part of Collax’s services to the Customer, Customer shall receive a simple non-exclusive license in such derivative works, works or results in accordance with the Contract and/or these Conditions.

D. Warranty and liability

26. Limited Remedies for Defects (Warranty)

Where Customer has acquired the Product from a reseller, remedies for defects of the Product shall exclusively be asserted vis-à-vis such reseller in accordance with the terms of the agreement between Customer and reseller. In all other cases, the following shall apply:

26.1: Any statutory remedies (“Warranty Claims”) for defects of a Deliverable, including any deviation from agreed specifications and/or any violation of rights of third parties (collectively “Defects”) shall be excluded unless the Defect in question substantially limits the suitability of the Deliverable for the agreed purpose.

26.2: The Customer shall inspect any Deliverables and notify Collax of any defects or deviations thereof immediately after delivery. In the absence of such immediate notice, the Customer shall be deemed to have consented to any deviations of the Deliverables that could have been detected, in particular, without limitation, (a) defects, or (b) delivery of (i) a quantity or (ii) a product other than agreed. The notice shall in particular not be deemed immediate if it is received more than 14 days after delivery.

26.3: Collax reserves the right to decide whether to repair or to replace any Deliverable which should prove to be defective. If Collax fails to exercise such right within a reasonable time limit set by Customer, such right shall pass to Customer. Collax reserves – also in work contracts - at least two attempts at such repair or replacement, except where this should unduly prejudice Customer in individual cases.

26.4: Furthermore any Warranty Claims shall be excluded to the extent that the Customer (a) uses the Deliverable for any purpose other than the contractual purpose or in violation of the relevant statutory requirements and/or any guidelines issued by the manufacturer; or (b) either (i) modifies the Deliverable or (ii) uses of the Deliverable in connection with any hardware or software not approved by the manufacturer of the Deliverable for such purpose, unless, in each case, the Customer has obtained Collax’ prior written consent, and except, in each case, where the foregoing circumstances did not cause the Defect.

26.5: Furthermore any Warranty Claims for violation of thirdparty rights shall be excluded unless such third-party rights are valid within the European Economic Area or Switzerland and the Customer enables Collax to conduct the defense alone without any restriction and grants to Collax the necessary powers.

26.6: The deliverables are exclusively intended for business use and therefore any statutory right of recourse against Collax shall be excluded except if and to the extent that delivery to Consumers has separately been agreed in writing. In any event, the Customer’s right of recourse shall be deemed excluded unless the Customer has notified Collax of the assertion of any warranty claims in text form within five days. In which case the Customer shall be indemnified for expenses in accordance with statutory law only by credits against further deliveries, he shall not be entitled to claim payment in cash.

27. Guarantee

Collax shall not be deemed to have guaranteed certain properties of the Deliverables except if it has expressly confirmed such guarantee. The manufacturer’s warranty issued with any Deliverable shall not be deemed a guarantee of certain properties unless it expressly states otherwise.

28. Liability

Collax shall be liable in damages, whether based on contract or any other legal theory, only to the extent that the damage was caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct imputable to Collax. In the event of death of a natural person or personal injury to the latter, Collax shall be liable also for slight negligence. In addition, Collax shall also be liable for a slightly negligent violation of a fundamental duty under the Contract, but such liability shall be limited to such damage as Collax could have reasonably foreseen at the time of signing of the Contract.

Fundamental duties as used herein comprises all duties which must be fulfilled in order to enable consummation of the Contract and the achievement of its purposes and fulfillment of which the Customer may reasonably expect in view of the content and purposes of the Contract.

28.1: Collax’ liability shall cover neither damage caused by the loss of data to the extent such loss could have been avoided by daily, alternating back-up, nor damage caused by using any Deliverables which could have been prevented by examination of the work products of such Deliverable at regular intervals.

28.2: Limitations on Collax’ liability agreed in the Contract or these Conditions shall apply also to the personal liability of Collax’ officers, employees or agents.

28.3: Where Deliverables are provided free of cost, e.g. demo software, Collax’ liability shall be further limited, and Collax shall be liable for damages based on gross negligence or willful misconduct imputable to Collax and/or fraudulent concealment of defects only.

28.4: Any mandatory liability under the Product Liability Act and/or arising from a guarantee of properties shall remain unaffected.

29. Limitation Period

Customer’s remedies for Defects, including but not limited to (i) the right to withdraw from the Contract and (ii) claims for indemnification or damages, in particular incidental or consequential damages, based on Defect, shall be subject to a limitation period of twelve months for newly manufactured Deliverables and six months for used Deliverables.

However, all remedies based on:

the statutory recourse and the right to withdraw from the Contract based on a breach imputable to Collax other than a Defect shall be subject to the applicable statutory limitation periods.

The limitation periods shall begin on the date specified by the statute.

Where Collax repairs or replaces a Deliverable or attempts to do so, such repair or replacement shall not effect a renewal of the limitation period for the Customer’s Warranty Claims with respect to the repaired Deliverable (including spare parts or units used for the repair) or a replacement product. Notwithstanding the repair or replacement, such Warranty Claims shall be subject to a limitation period equivalent to the remaining limitation period applicable to the original Deliverable, except that such limitation period shall not expire earlier than three months after the conclusion of the repair or replacement or Collax’s refusal to undertake further attempts at such repair or replacement.

E. Special Provisions for Software Resellers

If Customer is a reseller (“Reseller”) intending to provide the software delivered by Collax (“Collax Software”) to third party licensees (“End User(s)”), the following provisions shall apply in addition to all other Conditions:

30. Scope of Use

The Reseller may provide copies of the Collax Software to End Users or allow End Users to access the Collax Software, only to the extent that such End User has executed a valid license agreement which limits use of the Collax Software in accordance with the respective provisions of the Collax End User License as amended; and (b) the Customer implements appropriate procedures to supervise and enforce End User compliance with such restrictions.

Reseller agrees to (a) indemnify Collax for any damage or loss suffered in connection with the infringement of Collax’ property rights in such Collax Software by an End User and (b) hold Collax harmless from any claims asserted by End Users in connection with the use of, or access to, the Collax Software and not caused by Collax’ breach of the Contract.

31. Subscription Licenses

grant the right to use the Collax Software for a limited term only. The term of the subscription, and thereby of the right to use the Collax Software, is subject to automatic renewal in accordance with Sec. 33.

Collax will maintain the subscribed Collax Software in usable state during the term of the subscription. The Reseller shall test the Collax Software and its work products upon installation and thereafter regularly and shall promptly notify Collax of any Defects or deviations thereof. In the absence of such testing and/or prompt notice, the Reseller shall be deemed to have consented to any Defects or deviations of the Collax Software that have been or could have been detected. The notice shall in particular not be deemed immediate if it is received more than 14 days after the Defect or deviation has been or could have been detected. The End User shall be deemed the Reseller’s agent with respect to the responsibilities under this Sec., and the End User’s acts and omissions shall be imputed to the Reseller accordingly. In addition, Chapter D of these Conditions shall also apply to subscription licenses.

32. Collax Maintenance

Collax Maintenance for Perpetual Licenses offers the Reseller the right to obtain free updates, upgrades or new versions of the Collax Software during the maintenance period. Collax Maintenance comprises only the delivery of standard software and does not include software development or customization, End User support and/or problem analysis, workaround or solution. These may be available as a separate product. Collax Maintenance is available only for a continuous term from the first registration of the Collax Software and only for all End Users of a single license. The term of the Collax Maintenance is subject to automatic renewal in accordance with Sec. 33.

33. Subscription Licenses and Collax Maintenance for Perpetual Licenses

Subscription Licenses and Collax Maintenance for Perpetual Licenses are available with different fixed terms. The subscription term or maintenance period is set forth on the license certificate or Collax Maintenance certificate accompanying the Collax Software. The term or period agreed therein commences on the date of registration of the Collax Software by the End User and expires on the first anniversary of the registration date after expiry of the number of years constituting the subscription term or maintenance period set forth in the license certificate or Collax Maintenance certificate, i.e. the first anniversary if the term/period is one year, the third if it is three years etc. (the “End Date”).

The Reseller’s subscription or maintenance coverage will automatically renew for consecutive one year terms unless it is terminated by Collax or the Reseller observing a notice period of three months with effect to the End Date. If the subscription is renewed, the End User’s right to use the Collax Software is extended accordingly. If the maintenance term is renewed, the Reseller’s entitlement to Collax Maintenance is extended accordingly.

Upon renewal of the subscription or maintenance coverage, the Reseller shall be obligated to pay to Collax the respective annual fee. Unless otherwise agreed, the last agreed annual fee shall apply and shall be invoiced for each contract year in advance. Collax reserves the right to adjust the fees and/or terms in accordance with these Conditions.

The Reseller is responsible to effect a renewal of its corresponding subscription or maintenance agreement with the End User and to invoice its own fees to the End User timely prior to the End Date based on the information in the registration database.

34. Audit

The Reseller shall keep, maintain and preserve accurate records relating to the sale of the Collax Software and the Reseller’s obligations under the Contract and/or these Conditions. Such records shall be maintained as confidential, but Collax shall be entitled to request at any time that an independent auditor, obliged not to disclose the identity of the End Users to Collax, examine Customer’s relevant records for the purpose of verifying Customer’s compliance with its obligations under the Contract and/or these Conditions. Collax shall pay the fees and expenses of the auditor for the examination, unless such examination should disclose a breach of contract by Customer or a shortfall in payments to Collax greater than five percent (5%) for the period being audited, in which case Customer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the auditor for that examination.

F. Data Protection

35. Collax acting as Data Processor

If Collax has access to personal data or other data which is subject to special statutory or professional confidentiality obligations in the context of software support or other services, of if such access cannot be excluded, Collax will exclusively employ personnel for such services which have been instructed on relevant statutory provisions and have undertaken in writing to respect the confidentiality and secrecy of such data. Such data may be used only for the agreed services and in compliance with the Customer’s instructions and, after completion thereof, shall be deleted or limited to archiving purposes. Collax may not subcontract such services except with the Customer’s prior written consent. Collax will supervise its personnel’s compliance with data protection statutes and will implement effective technical and organizational means to ensure the protection of such data against abuse, loss or corruption. Customer may have Collax’ use of such data independently audited where such audits are required by statutory regulations for Customer’s business or profession.

36. Collax acting as Controller

If Collax collects personal data as a controller of such data, such data is collected for internal purposes, i.e. the provision of the supplies or services to the Customer, only. Any personal data will be processed exclusively in compliance with the applicable German and European statutes and regulations on the protection of personal data. Collax will at all times respect the confidentiality of personal data. Collax currently processes personal data exclusively on servers located in the European Economic Area. Collax reserves the right to share personal data with third parties employed by Collax as subcontractors or agents. Collax will require such third parties to agree to the aforementioned limitations before sharing the data. When submitting personal data to Collax, the Customer guarantees to Collax that the data subject has consented to the submission of such data and to its processing or use as contemplated in these Conditions.
