Amendments and supplements to this agreement shall only apply if Inxmail confirms this in writing, by fax or via e-mail. ##If a consumer orders a service online, order receipt shall be confirmed immediately.

Within the scope of the legal regulations, Inxmail shall guarantee that the software complies with the stipulated quality as specified in the product description, user’s manual and any other documentation; and can be deployed correspondingly. Inxmail shall provide no guarantee as to the agreed quality or any other.##In the event of significant deviation, Inxmail shall, by its option, perform improvements or provide a replacement delivery. If the customer is a consumer, he has the option to select whether subsequent performance shall take the form of improvement or replacement. Inxmail is entitled to refuse the selected form of subsequent performance if this is only possible at disproportionate cost and the other form of subsequent performance results in no significant disadvantages for the consumer.##If Inxmail is unable to remedy the significant deviations to the agreed quality by means of improvement within an appropriate period or to enable the use of the software by the user as per agreement, the user can demand a commensurate reduction in payment or withdraw from the agreement. ##The user shall draw attention to and describe the observable defects or deficiencies in writing, by fax or via e-mail, within a period of one (1) week upon receiving the delivered software. If this is not done, all warranty claims are excluded. Sending the notification within this time period is sufficient to observe the deadline. The user bears the burden of proof that a claim exists, in particular in regard to the defect itself, the time of determination and the promptness of the complaint. Consumers shall provide notification in writing, by fax or via e-mail, upon determination of any breach of contract with respect to observable defects and deficiencies within a period of two (2) months from the date of determination. Receipt of notification by Inxmail within this time period is sufficient to observe the deadline. If the consumer fails to provide notification hereof, the warranty rights expire two (2) months after the defect or deficiency is determined. This does not apply in the event of fraudulent intent on the part of Inxmail. The consumer bears the burden of proof in regards to the time at which the defect or deficiency is determined. ##The user shall provide Inxmail with verifiable documentation on the type and occurrence of deviations to the agreed quality and assist in providing further details on the errors for purposes of limitation. ##The warranty does not cover defects or deficiencies resulting from deviations to the intended conditions of use for the software or defects and deficiencies to modified or amended versions of the software and the licensed material. Should the customer elect to withdraw from the agreement after subsequent performance has failed, he is entitled to no claims for compensation due to defect or deficiency. ##The warranty period for the supplied software is one (1) year for companies and two (2) years for consumers, starting on the date of delivery. This does not apply if the customer fails to provide notification of the defect or deficiency in due time. ##The above-mentioned warranty provisions shall also apply to users of ASP services. If the user observes defects or deficiencies in the software, including the user's manuals and other documentation, or the software is unavailable for full use due to failures or faults, these shall be remedied by Inxmail once the user instructs Inxmail hereof in writing, by fax or via e-mail. The notification shall include a detailed description of the specific defect or fault as required for Inxmail to remedy the defect or fault. The user shall observe any instructions provided by Inxmail. Inxmail shall notify the user in the event that the defect or fault is unable to be remedied in an appropriate period of time.####9. Limitation of Liability##In the event of simple negligent breach of duty on the part of Inxmail, its legal representatives and/or authorised or vicarious agents, Inxmail shall only be liable for foreseeable and direct damages normally associated with this type of agreement. Inxmail shall not be liable to companies in the event of negligent breach of immaterial contractual obligations. These limits to liability do not apply to product liability claims asserted by the customer or other claims involving imputable bodily harm, damage to health or loss of life of the customer. All claims for compensation by the user due to defect or deficiency shall expire one (1) year after delivery unless the ASP services are used. This does not apply in cases where Inxmail may be accused of gross negligence or in cases of imputable bodily harm, damage to health or loss of life of the customer.##Inxmail assumes no warranty if changes or modifications are made to the software. Additional claims on whatever legal grounds are expressly excluded. Inxmail shall not be liable for loss of data, damage to data media or other programs, business interruptions etc.##This limit to liability does not apply in cases where liability is based on intentional or gross negligence. ####10. Data Protection##Inxmail shall treat any information it receives with confidentiality and shall only use this data for the purpose of this agreement. Data shall not be transferred to third parties without the consent of the client. Data shall be deleted in their entirety on request, unless this is required for the execution of this agreement. ####11. Declaration of Release from Claims##The customer expressly agrees to comply with all legal provisions, in particular those that restrict the dissemination of content and information as well as all provisions under the German Data Protection Act. If any claims are asserted by third parties towards Inxmail due to any wrongdoing on the part of the customer (in particular, but not limited to, the transmission of e-mails or faxes to recipients without the prior consent of said parties), the customer shall release Inxmail from such claims and undertake to assume any resulting costs borne by Inxmail. This includes expenses relating to an appropriate legal defence to contest these claims.####12. Other Provisions##No subsidiary agreements have been concluded. Any amendments and supplements to these General Terms and Conditions must be made in writing. This shall also apply to the agreement to waive the requirement for written form. This agreement is subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for non-consumers shall be Freiburg (Breisgau), Germany. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision to these General Terms and Conditions shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions. The provision deemed invalid or unenforceable, in part or in whole, shall be replaced by a valid provision, the effect of which is the closest possible to the intended purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision.
