  3. PROVISIO reserves the right to add services and amend, delete or improve the services subject to this contract. PROVISIO shall also be authorized to reduce services, in particular with regard to the provision of data and data sets available on the server. If such reduction in services results in an imbalance between paid service and fees, which may be considered to be more than insignificant, you shall be entitled to an appropriate reduction in fees. Should the parties fail to agree to such a reduction, each party may terminate this agreement on written notice.
  4. PROVISIO shall be given the right to terminate at any time and without prior notice all free services provided by the SiteRemote server system. Any termination of these services shall not entitle you to any reimbursement, refunds, compensation or damage claims.

Unless you object in writing to the terms and conditions altered within two weeks after the receipt of the notification of change from PROVISIO, these alterations shall take effect in accordance with the notification of change.

Any objection on your part shall be in writing.

§ 7 LIABILITY

  1. PROVISIO shall not be liable for damages caused by unavailability of service, positive breach of contract, fault upon conclusion of the contract and consequential damages caused by defects or unlawful acts, unless they were caused by gross negligence or by negligence of persons for whom PROVISIO is responsible.
  2. Although PROVISIO will create backup copies of the data stored on the server, no guarantee shall be given against total loss of data. In any case, PROVISIO's maximum liability for a total loss of data shall be limited to the amount equal to the maximum usage fees paid during the previous month, unless PROVISIO acts in gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
    Data will be deleted after a certain time period according to our company policy. Please note that we cannot guarantee availability of log files beyond 90 days even though PROVISIO usually saves log files on the server for a much longer time period. Customers may export the log files through their account to backup data.
  3. The SiteRemote system provides information and programs intended to assist professional users in generating reports, fixing any client defects and malfunctions and in ensuring reliable performance of the clients. PROVISIO provides for constant updates and revisions of the data and programs stored on the SiteRemote server system.
    PROVISIO shall not be liable for the information and data, in particular, their completeness, accuracy or currency, nor their sustainability for any particular purpose. The final decision about the use of SiteRemote shall be in the responsibility of the user. PROVISIO shall not be liable for any damages of costs arising out of the information displayed in SiteRemote.
  4. PROVISIO shall not be liable for any damage-causing events that fall into the responsibility of the corresponding service provider.
  5. PROVISIO shall not be liable for any loss, damage or delay caused by acts of God, public authorities acting with actual or apparent authority, strikes, labour disputes, breakdown of communicative devices or gateways operated by other providers, as well as failure of services provided by other suppliers or network providers.
  6. PROVISIO does not assume liability for lost revenues, loss of profit, damage to or the loss of data as well as any damage resulting thereof, especially phone costs, communication costs or provider costs except in the event that PROVISIO acted in a grossly negligent way or intentionally, or bodily harm is subject matter of the damage event and as far as this is applicable by law.
  7. PROVISIO will not reimburse for any phone charges, connection fees or other costs occurring in conjunction with the usage of our SiteRemote services or software.
  8. PROVISIO shall not be required to pay any reimbursement in the event of any breakdowns due to failures that lie outside of PROVISIO's control.
  9. In the event of liability on the part of PROVISIO, maximum liability shall be limited to one monthly fee, unless PROVISIO acts in gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
  10. Please note that your PC will need to meet minimum requirements for the use of SiteRemote server. For details please visit http://www.siteremote.com/
  11. Occasionally, certain maintenance operations will need to be performed and programs and database entries will need to be updated on the SiteRemote server. SiteRemote server may not be available during these times. PROVISIO shall always do its best to reduce downtime to a minimum and to limit maintenance operations to times when the system usage is low.
    Please note, however, that you shall not automatically be entitled to reimbursement of usage fees in the event of a server-down situation unless PROVISIO acts in gross negligence or the servers are down for more than 20 percent of the potential monthly usage time. In either of the latter events, PROVISIO shall reimburse you according to the time you were unable to use the service upon a corresponding request by email.
  12. Both parties understand that currently available technology does not allow the development of Internet software and applications that will work flawlessly in all environments. The object of this contract is therefore only a software application that can be used in accordance with the program's description and its manual. This holds true in particular for the compatibility with other browsers. SiteRemote was developed to be compatible with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8.0. Older or future version of this software may be incompatible.

§ 8 NOTE CONCERNING TELESERVICES ACT

  1. Links to third party websites are provided for user convenience and information only. As the content on a linked website is beyond PROVISIO's control being the operator, PROVISIO shall not be responsible for the content on linked websites, including any further links contained on a third party website. Only when the operator discovers or is made aware by others that specific web content, to which it has provided a link, establishes civil or penal liability, shall the operator block this content insofar as this is technically feasible and can reasonably be expected. Technical feasibility and reasonable expectation shall not be affected by the fact that access to the illegal or criminal content may still be possible from other servers despite the operator having disabled access to it from its own website. Although the operator examined the third-party content when it was first linked to determine whether it would establish liability under civil or criminal law, the operator shall not be obliged to continuously monitor the third-party content which it has linked on its website for alterations that may give new grounds for liability.

§ 9 USE BY THIRD PARTIES

  1. The use of the SiteRemote system shall be restricted to customers and staff of PROVISIO. Use by third parties shall be expressly prohibited unless written permission is granted by PROVISIO.
  2. If PROVISIO permits the usage of SiteRemote by third parties upon your request, you shall ensure the compliance with this contract by the third party.

§ 10 GENERAL

  1. This agreement shall be considered a legally binding agreement in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany governing this agreement without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws; UNCITRAL provisions (UN-LAW) do not apply in any form. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts sitting in GERMANY, State of NRW or the local courts in the CITY OF MUENSTER, GERMANY - seat of PROVISIO GmbH.
    In each case this agreement shall be construed and enforced without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods.
  2. If any term of this contract is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of every other term and condition remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent of the law and the parties shall agree on a substitute term that is legal and enforceable and is as nearly possible consistent with the intention underlying the original term.
  3. No subsidiary agreements shall be concluded. Amendments and supplements of this agreement are subject to a written form requirement. Such shall apply also to the abrogation or modification of this written form requirement. Insofar as written form requirement is agreed upon, simple text form or electronic transmission shall not qualify.

    SiteRemote Server uses SharpZipLib which is copyrighted (c) by Mike Krueger (mike@icsharpcode.net).
