Scope
The following general terms and conditions apply exclusively to all business relations between Lingenio GmbH (hereafter Lingenio) and you as the Ordering Party.

Selection of Products
Lingenio offers products for sale online at http://www.lingenio.de and http://shop.lingenio.de. The website lets customers select and order products. The products details are presented separately on their respective web pages. All prices are given together with the statutory value added tax. Before shipping your order, Lingenio allows you to examine and if necessary correct the details of your order, in particular with respect to price and quantities.
Prices
All orders are subject to the list prices as they are presented on the website at the time of ordering. Prices include the statutory value added tax applicable in Germany, but not the costs for postage and packing.

Conclusion of Contract
The offers made by Lingenio are not binding. All products are available only while stocks last. Lingenio is not obliged to deliver goods or render services when these become unavailable. A contract is deemed to be concluded between Lingenio and you as the Customer when your order has been confirmed in writing by Lingenio.

Terms of Use
In the case of goods in the form of software, Lingenio grants you the nonexclusive right to use the software simultaneously on as many computers as the software packages (suites) you have purchased. You receive ONE software package for each single user product. This right of use applies to the buyer only and is not transferable. A software package may be resold only with all of the appurtenant parts. In this case, all retained copies must be destroyed. The regulations under § 69 of the UrhG (German copyright act) apply to duplication, editing, and decompilation. Leasing is permitted only after special agreement.
Upgrade
For certain software packages in its product range, Lingenio offers upgrade packages under specific conditions and against proof of ownership of the corresponding formerly released software packages. Current offers and conditions are published at http://www.lingenio.de. On purchase of an upgrade, the customer is only entitled to replace the formerly released version of the software with the upgrade package. By purchasing an upgrade, the Customer agrees NOT to make any use or disposition of the formerly released software package and the upgrade package separately from each other. It is expressly forbidden to install the existing software package and the upgrade package simultaneously on separate computers or for separate users.
Warranty and Liability
The statutory warranty conditions apply. For an entrepreneur, the warranty is limited to one year and Lingenio reserves the right to decide whether to repair the product or deliver a replacement free of charge. Lingenio is liable to the full amount of damages for gross negligence on the part of its divisions and executive employees; in principle for all culpable violations of basic contractual obligations; in addition and in principle also for gross negligence on the part of fulfilment agents; provided that Lingenio cannot contract out of this liability according to commercial usage, in the last two cases to the amount of compensation based on the usual, foreseeable damage. This does not affect liability on the grounds of intent, warranty, malice, or personal injury, or liability under the German Product Liability Act. Lingenio accepts no liability for ensuring that the delivered software is suitable for the Customer’s purposes or that it operates properly with the software and hardware installed at the user’s location. This limitation of liability does not apply to cases of intent or gross negligence.
Force Majeure
In the event that Lingenio is unable to provide an outstanding service on the grounds of force majeure, it is exempt from its obligation to provide this service for the duration of this force majeure. If Lingenio is unable to execute an order or delivery for longer than one month on the grounds of force majeure, you as the Customer are entitled to annul the contract.
Privacy Policy
Lingenio will respect all its obligations under the data protection laws, in particular as specified in the TMG (German Telemedia Act). In accordance with these laws, Lingenio may compile, process, and utilise the inventory data, invoicing data, and usage data it collects from the Customer provided that this is conducive to the fulfilment of this contract. For all other purposes, customer data may be utilised only with the Customer’s consent, unless this consent can be derived otherwise from the applicable laws. The Customer has the right at all times to receive information free of charge on his stored personal details.
Conclusive Proof Clause and Burden of Proof
The data stored in electronic registers or other forms at Lingenio are deemed permissible evidence of data transmissions, contracts, and payments rendered between the parties.
Final Provisions and Venue
German law applies. If a provision of these terms is or becomes void, this shall not affect the validity of the other provisions. Lingenio and the Customer will replace the void provision with an effective provision that best approximates the business intentions of both parties to the contract.
