1. Validity of the GTC
- The following General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") shall apply exclusively to the business relationship between Genz IT Solutions GmbH, Brückengasse 1b, 78462 Konstanz, Germany (hereinafter referred to as "Vendor") and the purchaser, who is hereinafter referred to as "Customer", of the Vendor's products.
- Deviating terms and conditions of the Customer shall not be accepted, even if the Vendor fulfils his/her contractual obligations without objection, unless the Vendor expressly agrees to the validity of the Customer's deviating terms and conditions.
- All personal terms apply equally to both genders. For reasons of better readability, the simultaneous use of masculine and feminine forms of language has been dispensed with.
- A "Consumer" within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither attributable to his commercial nor to his independent professional activity.
- "Entrepreneur" within the meaning of the GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his commercial or self-employed professional activity.
- "Product" within the terms and conditions refers to any goods, services, and other performances offered by the seller, including any accessories and accompanying documentation, which are subject to the contract between the seller and the customer according to the product description provided by the seller to the customer or other agreement.
- Regardless of the terminology used in the GTC, such as "Vendor", the legal classification of the contract and the applicable statutory regulations are always determined by the legal requirements of the respective types of contracts. These GTC do not limit the statutory definitions and regulations in any way.
- The offer of the Vendor is directed exclusively to Customers who are entrepreneurs (also referred to as "Business Customers" or "B2B"). By placing an order or registering as a Customer, Customers declare that they are an entrepreneur and not a consumer.
2. General Information on Offers and Orders
- The presentation and promotion of products on the Vendor’s websites as well as in digital or printed informational materials does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a contract, but rather a non-binding invitation to the Customer to submit an offer for the purchase of the displayed goods.
- Customers are responsible for ensuring that the information they provide is accurate and for notifying the Vendor of any changes, where such changes are required for the fulfilment of the contract. In particular, Customers must ensure that the e-mail addresses, delivery addresses and shipping addresses provided are correct and that any obstacles to receipt for which the Customer is responsible are duly considered (e.g. by checking the spam folder of their e-mail software).
- Customers are requested to carefully read and observe the instructions during the ordering process and, if necessary, to use the available support functions of their software and hardware (e.g. magnification or read-aloud functions). Required information will be appropriately identified as such by the Seller for the Customers (e.g. by optical highlighting and/or asterisk signs). Until the order is submitted, the Customers can change and view the product selection and their entries at any time, as well as go back in the ordering process or cancel the ordering process altogether. For this purpose, the Customers can use the available and common functions of their software and/or end device (e.g. the forward and back buttons of the browser or keyboard, mouse and gesture functions on mobile devices). Furthermore, unwanted entries can be corrected by canceling the ordering process.
3. Ordering Process and Conclusion of Contract
- The Customer can select from the products offered in the Vendor's assortment to the Customer and collect them in a so-called shopping basket. In the selection within the shopping basket, the product selection can be changed, e.g. deleted. Otherwise, the customer can initiate the completion of the order process.
- By clicking the button that concludes the order process, the Customer submits a binding offer to purchase the products contained in the shopping cart or in a corresponding selection overview to the Vendor.
- The Service Provider accepts the Customer’s offer, whichever of the following events occurs first: (i) by means of an express declaration of acceptance in text form (e.g. by e-mail), (ii) by completion of the payment process, (iii) by a payment request addressed to the Customer, (iv) in the case of goods orders, by dispatching them; in the case of services, by commencement thereof; and otherwise by making the product available as contractually agreed. The Service Provider may accept the Customer’s offer within the acceptance period. The acceptance period is five days. The acceptance period begins upon completion of the ordering process by the Customer and ends at midnight on its last day. If the Service Provider does not accept the Customer’s offer within the acceptance period, no contract shall be concluded and the Customer shall no longer be bound by their offer.
4. Sale of Licence Keys
- These GTC apply accordingly to the sale of licence keys.
- When purchasing licence keys, the purchaser is granted the rights to use the respective product, for example software or content, as shown in the product description.
- The ordered license keys are provided to the Customer as output on the screen.
- Unless otherwise specified in the product description or otherwise agreed between the Vendor and the Customer, the licence key may only be used after payment of the agreed fee.
5. Subscriptions
- "Subscription" is understood to mean the regular purchase of products or other services by "Subscribers" (how Customers are referred to under Subscription Agreements) within the framework of an ongoing contractual relationship (also referred to as a "Subscription Agreement") for a defined period of time (also referred to as a "Subscription Period").
- A Subscription Agreement obliges the Vendor to deliver the services covered by the Subscription Agreement or to perform other services at the agreed times or intervals and within the agreed subscription period. The details of the individual Subscriptions are specified in each case with their respective offers.
- Termination shall be effective as of the next service or delivery due date or the next service or delivery within the Subscription Period.
- Subscriptions are billed in advance at the beginning of each Subscription Period.
- Trial subscriptions automatically convert to a paid subscription unless cancelled within the trial period.
- The Subscriber shall notify the Vendor immediately of any changes in the delivery or shipping address and shall otherwise be responsible for any impediment to delivery due to failure to notify the Vendor.
- The right to termination of the Subscription Agreement for good cause is reserved in accordance with the statutory provisions.
- Subscription contracts can only be cancelled electronically by e-mail or in the user account.
6. Prices and Shipping Costs
Unless otherwise stated, all prices are net, plus the applicable statutory value added tax (VAT).
7. Payment Methods and Terms
- Unless otherwise agreed, payments shall be made without discounts, reductions or other rebates.
- When using financial institutions and other payment service providers, the terms and conditions and data protection information of the payment service providers also apply with regard to payment. Customers are requested to observe these regulations and notes as well as information within the framework of the payment process. This is particularly because the provision of payment methods or the course of the payment procedure may also depend on the agreements between the Customer and financial institutions and payment service providers (e.g. agreed spending limits, location-restricted payment options, verification procedures, etc.).
- The Customer shall ensure that the Customer fulfills the conditions incumbent upon the Customer, which are necessary for successful payment by means of the selected payment method. This includes, in particular, sufficient coverage of bank and other payment accounts, registration, legitimation and authorization with payment services and confirmation of transactions.
- If a payment is not made or reversed due to insufficient funds in the Customer's account, the provision of incorrect bank details or an unjustified objection by the Customer, then the Customer shall bear the fees incurred as a result, provided that the Customer is responsible for the failed or reversed booking and, in the case of a SEPA credit transfer, was informed of the transfer in good time (so-called "pre-notification").
- If the Vendor assigns its payment claim against the Customer to payment service providers, the payment with debt-discharging effect can only be made to the respective payment service provider. The contractual obligations of the Vendor towards the Customer, in particular the performance and warranty obligations, observance of withdrawals as well as contractual ancillary obligations shall not be affected by the assignment.
8. Warranty and Liability
- The warranty (liability for defects) and liability for other poor performance are subject to statutory provisions, except as otherwise provided.
- The Vendor shall not be liable for the Customer's Internet connection or the software and hardware used by the Customer or any disruptions caused by them to the conclusion or performance of the contract between the Customer and the Vendor.
- The Vendor shall be liable for damages without limitation insofar as the cause of the damage is based on intent or gross negligence. Furthermore, the Vendor shall be liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations, the breach of which endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract, for the breach of obligations, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the compliance with which the customer regularly relies (cardinal obligations) or in the case of agreed guarantee commitments. In this case, however, the Vendor shall only be liable for the foreseeable, contract-typical and expectable damage. The Vendor shall not be liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those mentioned above. The above limitations of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health, for a defect following the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of the product and in the event of fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the product liability law remains unaffected. Insofar as the Vendor's liability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents. In all other respects, claims for damages by the Customer shall be excluded. The above liability provisions shall also apply to claims for damages by the Customer under the Vendor's statutory warranty.
9. Data protection and confidentiality
The Service Provider processes personal data exclusively in accordance with the applicable data protection laws. Details regarding data processing as well as the rights of the data subjects are outlined in the Service Provider’s privacy policy.
