4. Services from yawave<\/h2>\n

4.1 General<\/strong><\/p>\n

13 yawave provides its services professionally and with the use of suitable personnel. yawave may involve third parties in the provision of services and is solely responsible for the correct selection and instruction of the third parties.<\/p>\n

14 yawave can neither guarantee the trouble-free nor the uninterrupted use of the yawave Software Suite. Nor can yawave guarantee absolute security, despite all state-of-the-art security precautions and software applications built according to modern standards and open technologies.<\/p>\n

15 yawave is not responsible for the data transmission infrastructure of the customer. In general, yawave can thus neither assume any responsibility for the availability and performance of data transmission networks nor any responsibility for the error-free and uninterrupted as well as timely transmission of data.<\/p>\n

16 The responsibility for backing up and restoring the customer’s data, which the customer processes using the yawave software suite on the yawave server infrastructure, lies exclusively with the customer.<\/p>\n

4.2 yawave Software Suite<\/strong><\/p>\n

17 yawave provides the customer with the yawave Software Suite for use via the internet in accordance with the subscription selected by the customer or in accordance with an individual contractual agreement with the customer in the scope of functions and services published at yawave.com.<\/p>\n

18 The customer has the right to use the functionalities of the yawave Software Suite in accordance with the aforementioned contractual basis via the Internet. The customer receives a non-exclusive, limited to the duration of the contractual relationship between yawave and the customer and non-transferable right to use the yawave Software Suite for his own use. The aforementioned use is exclusively limited to the operation of the yawave Software Suite on the server infrastructure of yawave or the server infrastructure operated by a third party on behalf of yawave. The customer is not granted any further rights to the yawave Software Suite. All property rights, in particular the copyrights to the software provided by yawave within the scope of the aforementioned service provision, are the exclusive property of yawave or, if applicable, its suppliers and the manufacturers. A use by third parties, in the sense of a free or paid provision by the customer, is not permitted. In particular, the customer is not entitled to further licensing and\/or sublicensing. The customer is not allowed to edit, change, copy, develop, sell, distribute, or otherwise exploit the software or parts of it in deviation from the contractual agreements, the scope of functions and services as well as the documentation independently and without the consent of yawave. In addition, the customer has no claims for surrender or provision of source code. Supplementary provisions to the conditions of use of third-party services (such as licensing conditions of third-party software) are also considered expressly agreed.<\/p>\n

19 yawave is responsible for the general maintenance of the systems used by yawave (hardware and software components) in the sense of constant up-to-dateness and stability according to the current state of the art. The timing of updates is determined exclusively by yawave.<\/p>\n

4.3 Other services<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 If yawave provides additional consulting services within the scope of the provision of the yawave Software Suite, this will be done according to the instructions of the customer and under the direction of the customer. yawave assures in this context to act carefully and with the use of expert personnel within the agreed scope of the consulting. The consulting services are considered provided as soon as yawave has handed over or transmitted the results of the consulting services to the customer.<\/p>\n

21 If yawave provides individual software development services for the customer, this is based on agile software development methods and the associated cyclical working method in continuous coordination with the customer. The requirements defined jointly for implementation are specified for each development cycle in the project protocol (“backlog”) and the respective effort for implementing the requirements is estimated or determined. In this context, the customer must also record – based on concrete application scenarios and the concrete application environment – the intended behavior as well as the intended events or desired results, so that on this basis the conformity of yawave’s work results with the customer’s requirements can be checked for each development cycle. It is the common understanding of the parties that the respective development cycles are to be checked as comprehensively as possible for their conformity to the aforementioned requirements in the concrete application. If the project protocol establishes conformity based on the status of the project protocol and the associated development cycle, the services shall be deemed to have been accepted on this basis in accordance with the contract.<\/p>\n

22 Depending on the selected subscription or the individual contractual agreement with the customer, the customer is entitled to use the yawave Software Suite in his customer-specific layout and design (white labeling). In this case, yawave provides the yawave Software Suite to the customer in a form that enables the customer to use it in particular under its own name and in its own layout and design. The designation as well as the layout or design shall be sufficiently different from the standard layout and design of yawave. In this context, the customer confirms in particular that he is entitled to use the designations (in particular trademarks) and designs used by him and that the use does not violate any rights of third parties. yawave reserves the right to make the use of the yawave Software Suite in a customer-specific layout and design as well as with its own designation dependent on prior consent.<\/p>\n

23 Depending on the selected subscription or the individual contractual agreement with the customer, the customer is entitled to integrate the yawave Software Suite into his systems by means of an application programming interface (“API”) or customized integration. In case of misuse or disproportionately frequent requests via the API, yawave reserves the right to temporarily or permanently block access to the API. yawave also particularly reserves the right to limit the number of requests via the API to a certain maximum number per time interval.<\/p>\n

24 If yawave performs project management tasks for the customer, this is done on behalf of the customer in the sense of an “external project management”. In this context, the project management records in each case in a suitable form when decisions or proposals are made on behalf of the customer in the function of external project management. The customer releases yawave in the context of this external project management for all decisions or proposals, which are made on behalf of the customer by yawave, fully from any responsibility.<\/p>\n

25 The customer is aware and agrees that yawave relies on agile methods as a process model for the provision of its services, namely in the area of development. The provision of services based on agile methods requires to a considerable extent a responsible and trusting cooperation between the parties. The agile approach is also accompanied by the fact that no concrete work results can be guaranteed on this basis. In particular, the customer is aware that, due to the cyclical mode of operation associated with agile methods, continuous and permanent communication between the parties is absolutely relevant to success.<\/p>\n

4.4. Availability and support<\/strong><\/p>\n

26 The availability of the yawave software suite as well as the customer’s access to yawave support services depends on the selected subscription or the individual contractual agreement with the customer.<\/p>\n

27 If a minimum availability of the yawave Software Suite is guaranteed, the ordinary and pre-announced maintenance windows, interruptions caused by third parties as well as by the customer (in particular due to performance settings) as well as interruptions caused by circumstances beyond the control of yawave, namely interruptions and malfunctions of data transmission networks, interruptions and malfunctions due to malware or force majeure, shall be excluded for the assessment of compliance with the minimum availability.<\/p>\n

28 yawave provides an email support and, depending on the selected subscription, a free or chargeable hotline to support its customers in technical questions regarding the handling and installation of the yawave Software Suite as well as for reporting malfunctions or incorrect behavior.<\/p>\n

29 All support services are provided exclusively on a “best effort” basis, i.e. within the scope of yawave’s available operational and personnel resources. There is no guarantee on the part of yawave to be able to solve malfunctions within a certain period of time. Individual contractual agreements with the customer remain reserved.<\/p>\n

30 If a customer requests the elimination of disruptions, he bears the costs incurred by yawave in this connection, provided that yawave is not responsible for the elimination of the disruption according to the provisions of these GTC and the customer does not provide evidence that the disruption can be attributed to the infrastructure or the services of yawave.<\/p>\n

31 yawave is additionally entitled to temporarily restrict or discontinue the availability of the yawave Software Suite or parts thereof, as far as this is necessary for important reasons, such as:<\/p>\n
