The agreed delivery dates can only be met if the Client provides all necessary work and documents in full, in particular the approved service description according to item 3.2, by the dates indicated by ILOGS. ILOGS is not responsible for delays in delivery and increases in costs resulting from incorrect, incomplete or subsequently changed information or documents provided by the client, and such delays cannot lead to a default on the part of ILOGS. Any additional costs resulting therefrom shall be borne by the client.
All prices are in Euro without sales tax.
Invoices issued by ILOGS, including value added tax, are payable without any deductions and free of charges no later than two weeks after receipt of the invoice. In the case of orders comprising several units (e.g. programs and/or training, realization in partial steps), ILOGS is entitled to invoice after delivery of each individual unit or service.
Adherence to the agreed payment dates constitutes an essential condition for the fulfillment of the contract by ILOGS. In the event of late payment, the client is obligated to pay interest on arrears in the amount of 10% p.a. as of the second reminder. ILOGS reserves the right to claim further damages for delay. In any case, the contracting partner has to reimburse all necessary and appropriate reminder and collection expenses.
Objections to invoiced claims must be raised by the customer in writing within two weeks of the invoice date, otherwise the claims shall be deemed accepted. Objections do not prevent the invoice amount from becoming due.
In addition, in the event of default in payment, ILOGS is entitled to suspend contractual services under contracts with written notice to the defaulting contracting partner until payment is made in full.
The charges stated are value-indexed on the basis of the Austrian Consumer Price Index CPI 2005.
All rights to the Licensed Material, including all copies of the machine-readable Licensed Material made by the Client, even if edited, translated, unaltered or combined with other programs, shall remain with ILOGS. The Client is obligated to affix ILOGS's copyright notice to all such copies. The client undertakes not to make licensed material - including copies of any kind, without time limit - available to third parties. Any disclosure that nevertheless occurs, including in the course of a liquidation of the business or bankruptcy, but also the short-term transfer for the production of reproductions, shall result in claims for damages, whereby full satisfaction shall be paid in such a case.
The client agrees that individual software ordered by him or parts thereof may be reused for general use by ILOGS. This allows the individual software to be created more cost-effectively.
In the event that an agreed delivery time is exceeded through the sole fault of ILOGS, the Client is entitled to withdraw from the software order in question by means of a registered letter if the agreed service is not provided in essential parts even within the reasonable grace period through no fault of the Client.
Force majeure, labor disputes, natural disasters and transport blockages shall release ILOGS from its delivery obligation or allow it to reschedule the delivery period.
Cancellations by the client are only possible with the written consent of ILOGS. If ILOGS agrees to a cancellation, it has the right to charge a cancellation fee of 10% of the purchase price or rent over two years, in addition to the services rendered and costs incurred.
It is pointed out that according to the state of the art it is not possible to exclude errors in software programs under all conditions of use. The subject of this warranty is that the license material used and not edited by the customer, as described in the product information or the offer, is basically usable and works essentially in accordance with the accompanying written material.
The warranty period of six months begins with delivery or acceptance. Notices of defects are only valid if they concern reproducible defects and if they are documented in writing within four weeks after delivery of the agreed service. In the case of justified notices of defect, the defects shall be remedied within a reasonable period of time, whereby the customer shall enable all measures necessary for the examination and remedying of the defect.
Corrections and additions that prove necessary by the time the agreed service is handed over due to organizational and programming deficiencies for which ILOGS is responsible will be made by ILOGS free of charge.
Assistance, error diagnostics as well as error and fault elimination for which the customer is responsible as well as other corrections, changes and additions will be carried out by ILOGS against payment. This applies to the correction of defects if changes in the license material or the underlying infrastructure (e.g. operating system, database, etc.) have been made by the customer himself or by a third party.
ILOGS will provide the best possible support to the Customer in the elimination of such malfunctions. However, ILOGS does not guarantee the results achieved by the program support and that all malfunctions have been eliminated.
For the reasons stated in the first paragraph, no warranty can be given that the Licensed Material is free of errors. In particular, ILOGS does not guarantee that the program functions meet the requirements of the customer or cooperate in the selection made by the customer.
The liability of ILOGS for Licensed Material or operation is limited to the refund of the purchase price or, in the case of an ASP or SaaS operating model, a maximum of six months' fees. The warranty is void if the defect of the Licensed Material resulted from subsequent damage or misuse or abuse.
10.1 No Liability for Consequential Damages
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claims for damages against ILOGS (including without limitation, claims for loss of profits, interruption of business functions, loss of company information or other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use or inability to use the Licensed Material (software errors, malfunctions in ASP, etc.) are excluded.
10.2 Legal Liability
ILOGS is liable for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, guarantees, malice, injury to life, body and health within the scope of the legal provisions.
The contracting parties undertake to be loyal to each other. They shall refrain from any enticement and employment - also via third parties - of employees who worked on the realization of the orders of the other contracting party for the duration of the contract and twelve months after the termination of the contract. The contracting party violating it shall be obliged to pay damages in the amount of one gross annual salary of the employee.
The Client and ILOGS undertake to maintain confidentiality with respect to technical, commercial and personnel matters of the respective other contracting party and not to disclose information thereon to third parties. The client assures ILOGS that written concepts or offers addressed to him and their contents will be treated confidentially from the time of their first receipt. This excludes in particular any disclosure or passing on of concepts, offers or parts thereof to third parties. The confidentiality obligation shall also apply indefinitely for the time after termination of a contract or agreement.
The contract is concluded for an indefinite period of time and may be terminated by giving six months' notice to 31 December of each calendar year by registered letter.
However, both parties expressly waive termination prior to the expiry of 12 months from acceptance and complete delivery or rollout of the ordered quantity. The indispensable right of termination for good cause shall not be affected thereby. In particular, incapacity to act on the part of the other contracting party shall be deemed an important reason. If the Client wishes to terminate the contract prematurely for other reasons, the contract shall be deemed to be terminated upon acceptance of the declaration by the other party subject to the following condition:
In the event of premature termination of the contract for other reasons by the Client, ILOGS shall be entitled to at least half of those current fees that would still have been payable for the duration of the waiver of termination, irrespective of the occurrence and proof of any damage incurred by it or fault on the part of the terminating party.
14.1 Start of invoicing
For standard software, invoicing shall take place after delivery. In the case of individual software and ASP/SaaS, billing shall commence on the day of acceptance.
14.2 Billing quantity
Unless otherwise agreed, the quantity on which the order is based shall be billed. By means of a written rollout plan, a gradual commissioning can be agreed and invoiced on a pro rata basis.
Should individual provisions of these GTCs be or become invalid or inadmissible, this shall not affect the remaining content of this contract. The contracting parties shall cooperate in partnership to find a provision that comes as close as possible to the invalid provisions.
Normal working hours are eight hours per day. It begins at 08:00 and ends, including a break, at 17:00.
The client must immediately notify ILOGS in writing of any changes to its company name or address. If no notification of change is made, documents are deemed to have been received by the customer if they were sent to the address last notified by the customer.
The place of jurisdiction for both parties for all disputes arising directly or indirectly from this contract is the headquarters of ILOGS.
Unless otherwise agreed, the statutory provisions applicable between registered traders under Austrian law shall also apply if the order is executed abroad. For sales to consumers within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act, the above provisions shall apply only to the extent that the Consumer Protection Act does not mandatorily provide for other provisions.
