2.3 The software has been “used” if it is located in the central memory or on a storage medium of a computer. A programme that has only been filed for data protection or backup reasons on the computer’s storage medium is considered unused.

§ 3 Extend of use without chargeable activation

3.1 Without a special release of the software according to §4 of this contract you are authorized to use the contract software for demonstration purposes, to copy it or to provide it to third parties (demo-license) as you wish.

3.3 The transmittal of this software for demonstration purposes is only allowed in connection with the documentation provided and with this licensing agreement.

§ 4 Activation of the software/ Full license

4.1 By filling in and sending an application for the issuing of a registration key you provide an offer for the completion of a full license. A full-license-contract will only be valid after the acceptance of the offer by the licensor, and is expressed by sending an individual registration key to you. The licensor is not obliged to accept.

4.2 By receiving the registration key you obtain the right to use the software with no restrictions at the number of computer work stations you purchased a license for. Each additional use requires an additional full license. The option to use the software functions without any restrictions is obtained by the software release with the registration key.

4.3 With the purchase of several full licenses you oblige yourself to ensure that the number of licensed computer work stations will be maintained. For additional use a further licensing according to § 4.1 of this contract will be required.

4.4 It is prohibited to sublicense (additional usufruct) this full license to third parties. It is especially forbidden in that context to provide the registration key in any way – by itself or in combination with the software – to a third party.

4.5 Commercial resale of full licenses without written permission from the licensor is prohibited.

§ 5 License fees

5.1 By sending the application for the issuing of the registration key according to § 4.1 of this contract the licensee obliges himself to pay a non-recurring license-fee.

5.2 The amount of the license fee depends on the number of licensed computer work stations and is based on the current price list of the licensor that the licensee accepted by submitting the application.

5.3 Incurring license fees will not be refunded in case one or more computer work stations is no longer needed.

5.4 All rights from this contract remain the sole property of the licensor until the complete payment of the incurring license fees.

7.5 The licensor does not accept liability regarding damages or consequential damages as a result of lost data, incorrect data input or unavailability of the contract software because of a breakdown of computers, programmes, lines or technical equipment as long as there is not grossly negligent or premeditated violation of contract duties on his part.

7.6 The extent of liability of the licensor is limited to twice the particular license fee according to §5 of this contract. This limitation of liability does not apply to damages because of premeditation, gross negligence or the lack of guaranteed characteristics or to direct personal or material damages.

7.8 The licensee bears the burden of proof regarding the occurrence of missing aspects of the software.

§ 8 Infringement of contract

8.1 In case of severe violations of this licensing agreement, the licensor explicitly reserves the right to assert claims for compensation as well as for prosecution of the violating act.

8.2 In case the registration key has been passed on to a third party without permission or of unauthorized use of the software without adequate licensing according to § 4 of this contract, you are obliged to pay the sum of three times the license fee according to § 5 of the contract as compensation. The assertion of further claims for compensation remains unaffected by this.

§ 9 Data protection

Personal data regarding contract-related services are only investigated by the licensor to enable these services and to charge for them. The data of the licensee will not be passed on to any third person or party. After the termination of this contract the data of the licensee will be deleted, as long has he has not agreed explicitly to the further processing and use of the data. In that case the licensee may instruct the licensor to provide, change or delete the stored data. The licensee may withdraw his agreement at any time.
