If we purchase software from you, the contract shall be concluded based on our offer in text form, which conclusively sets out – unless otherwise stated – all the essential terms of the contract. You may accept this offer in unchanged form within the specified offer period.

If no offer period is specified, a period of 7 days shall apply for acceptance. Late acceptance, amendments, additions, or deletions to our offer by you shall constitute a new offer, acceptance of which we shall reject unless such acceptance is expressly made by us in writing. Otherwise, we may make a new offer, which you may in turn accept without formality and within the time limit.

  1. Submission of documents; Assurance

In the case of so-called used software, we exclusively purchase such software which is unconditionally your property and where distribution rights for its software copy by the manufacturer have been exhausted within the meaning of Section 69c No. 3 UrhG (so-called exhaustion), in that the software in question was first marketed in the EEA (European Economic Area) with the consent of the manufacturer, a fee was paid in return for the software copy (software license), the right associated with the purchased software was granted permanently (for an indefinite period), the initial purchaser was also entitled to use updates or additions to the products and similar with the purchase, and the initial and any intermediate purchasers have rendered their software copies unusable without exception and have ceased using them.

You as the seller guarantee us the right to use the software for its intended purpose as a result of the existence of the (cumulative) requirements of exhaustion to such an extent that the right of use can be proven to the manufacturer and provide us with all contract-related documents (software license agreement, license conditions, etc.) without us having to check them. In particular, the following documents or information shall be enclosed: License agreements, MLS (Microsoft Licensing Statement), proof of purchase (invoices, CPS = Customer Price Sheet) as well as extracts from the VLSC (Volume Licensing Service Centre) showing the licensee, the license agreements and the products as well as product keys (MAK and KMS) for the products to be sold incl. the downgrade keys for the two previous versions with activation capacities corresponding to the volume sold in each case as well as ISO files.

You shall also provide a written comprehensive declaration in accordance with our specifications on the existence of these prerequisites, in particular on the rendering of the goods unusable that has taken place, upon delivery of the goods. At our discretion, the submission of the declaration in advance may be requested for verification by a qualified auditor or similar.

The aforementioned documents, information and declarations shall be demonstrably received by us within 3 working days after acceptance of our offer at the latest.

Our offer and the contract concluded on the basis thereof shall become conditional upon the timely submission of all aforementioned documents and declarations.

  1. Prices and payment

Unless otherwise indicated, all prices are subject to the statutory value added tax (VAT) at the current rate of 19%. Payment by us shall be made – unless otherwise stated in the offer – within 30 days, starting from the respective following month at the time of receipt of a corresponding proper invoice and after timely fulfilment of your obligations under clause 4 stated herein, by you, irrespective of any deviating stipulations in your invoice.

  1. Warranty

The statutory rights in respect of defects shall apply. If, after conclusion of the contract, factually justifiable doubts about the legality or validity of the acquisition of the software licenses or their existence arise on our side or if such doubts are raised by the respective manufacturer and these are not immediately and objectively cleared up by you or your declarations have not been made truthfully, we shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract in each case without having to set a deadline. In this case, a claim for compensation on your part is excluded. Insofar as we cannot be proven to have breached our obligations in accordance with and as stated in section 10 herein, other claims for compensation are also excluded.

  1. Release

The customer shall indemnify us in full against all claims of the licensor and our other customers (other purchasers of the contractual software) for the contractual software and the associated contractual licenses which relate to the legality of the purchase transaction as such. This also includes claims based on the possible further use of the object of purchase by the customer or other claims with regards to rights of use of other software licenses remaining with the customer.

  1. Liability

For claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives, or vicarious agents, we shall be liable without limitation in the event of injury to life, limb, or health, in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty, in the event of any promise of guarantee, in the event of fraudulent intent or in the event of mandatory statutory liability irrespective of fault (e.g., under the Product Liability Act).

In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (so-called cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence on our part, on the part of our legal representatives or vicarious agents, the amount of liability shall be limited to the damage foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. Otherwise, claims for damages and/or reimbursement of expenses are excluded.
