1. SCOPE
These Licence Conditions apply to all software products offered by LEMKEN through the IQblue shop. In addition, for specific products the respective specific terms and conditions apply in accordance with these Licence Conditions. These Licence Conditions apply to entrepreneurs and consumers. In this process LEMKEN acts as licensor, the customer as licensee.
2. COPYRIGHT / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
LEMKEN is the owner of the copyright and other intellectual property rights. Unless rights are expressly granted to the customer in accordance with these terms and condi-tions or the General Terms and Conditions of Business of LEMKEN, all rights in the software (and all copies produced by the customer), in particular the copyright authorisations, the rights in or to inventions and technical intellectual property rights, are the exclusive property of LEMKEN. This applies also to processing of the software by LEMKEN. The ownership of the customer in the respective data storage media for such copies remains unaffected.
3. SCOPE OF USE
3.1 LEMKEN grants the customer a non-exclusive right of use, limited in time to the term of the contract concluded with LEMKEN, however only for the destination country, in which the software shall be used, which has been agreed between the parties. Unless there is express agreement, the right of use is granted solely for the country, in which the customer is resident or has his registered office.
3.2 The Licence Conditions and the right of use in the software do not become effective until both LEMKEN and the customer have agreed the quotation in writing or by means of an electronic system and the customer has agreed the applicable Licence Conditions and the applicable General Terms and Conditions of Business in writing or by means of an electronic system.
3.3 The customer may use the software only for its own purposes or for third parties, who are associated with it within the meaning of § 15 German Stock Corporation Act (Allies Companies). In particular making the software available on a temporary basis (for example, as application service providing) for companies other than allied companies, the use of the software for training persons, who are not employees of the customer or its allied companies, is permitted only with the prior written agreement of LEMKEN. Commercial sub-leasing is generally prohibited.
3.4 Reproduction of the software is admissible only insofar as this is necessary for use in accordance with the contract. The customer has a right to create back-up copies in accordance with § 69 (2) German Copyright Act. The customer may make back-up copies of the software to the necessary extent in accordance with the generally recognised rules of engineering. Back-up copies on mobile data storage media must be identified as such and provided with the copyright mark of the original data storage device. If the customer has purchased the software by way of online download, it is entitled to copy the software in the case of transfer in accordance with § 4 onto a data storage device. Otherwise LEMKEN's right in the online copy expires in the same way as if the customer had received the software on data storage media.
3.5 The customer is authorised to modify, expand and otherwise rework the software within the meaning of § 69c No. 2 Copyright Act only insofar as the law allows that such is indispensable. Before the customer itself resolves faults or resolves faults by means of third parties, it must in the first instance allow LEMKEN an attempt to resolve the fault. The customer does not have its own rights of use and exploitation rights in such processing beyond the rights of use granted under this contract. If rights to processing arise to the customer, LEMKEN may in every case, against reasonable remuneration, demand an exclusive or non-exclusive right of use, unlimited in terms of space and time, with the right to grant a sub-licence.
3.6 The purchaser is entitled to decompile the software only within the limits in § 69e Copyright Act and not until LEMKEN on written request with a reasonable period of notice has failed to provide the necessary data and/or information, in order to produce interoperability with other hardware and software.
3.7 The customer is entitled to test runs and to observation of the program within the meaning of § 69d Copyright Act.
3.8 If LEMKEN assigns to the customer as part of rectification of a defect or product care (for example, patches, additions to the Operating Manual) or a new edition of the object of the contract (for example, updates, upgrades), which replace the objects of the contract previously assigned, (old software), these are subject to the provisions of this agreement.
3.9 The licence is restricted to the software product specifically purchased and does not extend to successor versions of the respective software.
However, if LEMKEN provides a new edition of the software, the rights of the customer with respect to the old software under this contract expire, even if LEMKEN does not demand the return of the old software, from the moment that the customer uses the new software productively. LEMKEN grants the customer, however, a transition phase of three months, in which both versions of the software may be used in parallel.
3.10 Subject to Points 3.3 and 3.4 and provided that the documentation is integral to the software, any reproduction or reworking of the application documentation is not permitted.
3.11 Subject to the provisions in Points 3.5 and 3.6 of these Licence Conditions the customer is forbidden to copy, reproduce, translate, modify, disassemble, decompile, replicate, amend or reconstruct or in any other way to duplicate or process the software in whole or in part without the prior, express, written agreement of LEMKEN.
3.12 In particular, the customer is forbidden to duplicate, rent out or lease the software in whole or in part, to translate, process or otherwise remodel the software, to sub-license the software or publicly to play back the software by cable or by wireless means, including making it publicly accessible in a way such that it is accessible to members of the public from locations and at times of their choice. The customer is further forbidden to decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the software, unless the customer is entitled thereto under relevant compelling copyright.
3.13 The customer is also forbidden to circumvent technical procedures for the protection of the software.
3.14 All rights to the source code for the software are the exclusive property of LEMKEN. The customer has no claim of any kind to the source code or the issue of the source code. § 69e Copyright Act remains unaffected.
4. ASSIGNABILITY
The customer is forbidden to grant sub-licences to third parties. The customer alone is granted a right of use for the period agreed with LEMKEN. Assignment to third parties is not included in the right of use.
5. DUTIES OF THE CUSTOMER
5.1 The customer shall store the assigned software with care, in order to avoid abuse. It shall allow third parties access to the software (irrespective of whether it remains unaltered or has been reworked), in particular to the licence code, only after the prior written agreement of LEMKEN. The customer's employees and other persons, who use the software in accordance with the contract while engaged on the customer's premises, are not deemed to be third parties. § 4 remains unaffected.
5.2 The customer must ensure that third parties as defined in Point 5.1 do not copy, reproduce, translate, modify, disassemble, decompile, replicate, amend or reconstruct the software, gain unauthorised access to the software or duplicate and/or process it in any other way.
5.3 If the customer becomes aware of a use of the software, which is not authorised under these Licence Conditions, the customer shall immediately notify LEMKEN thereof.
5.4 The customer is not permitted to alter or remove copyright markings, identification marking and/or inspection numbers or symbols of the vendor. If the purchaser modifies or processes the objects covered by the contract, these markings and identification marks must be transferred to the modified version of the contractual object.
5.5 If the customer assigns data storage media, memories or other hardware, on which software (in whole or in part, unaltered or reworked) is stored, to third parties or if it assigns direct ownership thereto, it shall ensure that the stored contractual objects are completely and permanently deleted prior to assignment.
5.6 The customer has made itself familiar with the material functional features of the software and bears the risk that these correlate to its desires and requirements. The customer shall comply with the notices issued by LEMKEN for the installation and operation of the software. The customer itself is responsible for the correct installation and configuration of the software. The installation of a properly functioning and with regard to the additional load caused by the software, an appropriately sized hardware and software environment for the software is the sole responsibility of the customer.
6. WARRANTY
6.1 During the statutory warranty period LEMKEN warrants that the mode of operation of the software essentially corresponds to the software specifications.
6.2 LEMKEN does not warrant that the software meets the customer's requirements. LEMKEN grants no warranty for technical details or the suitability of the software for specific purposes, unless otherwise specified in the software specification. The software specification or specifications set out in other documentation do not represent a warranty, unless they are expressly designated as such.
6.3 If the customer is an entrepreneur on submission of a warranty claim LEMKEN shall, at its discretion, remedy defects in the software by troubleshooting, updates or releases of a new version of the software.
6.4 The customer has no claims under the warranty
- if it fails to use the software in accordance with the instructions or uses it incorrectly, or
- if it modifies or changes the software without the prior written agreement of LEMKEN, or
- if problems or faults are due to the fact that the software has been used with programs, which are not compatible with the software,
- unless the customer proves that the defect can be traced back to the software.
6.5 If the customer has a claim to compensation in damages or replacement by virtue of the warranty, this is subject to the limitation of liability in § 7 below.
7. LIABILITY
7.1 LEMKEN does not accept liability for damage, delays or impediments to performance, which lie outside its sphere of responsibility.
7.2 LEMKEN does not accept liability for damage, which can be attributed to improper, inappropriate use of the software or use of the software, which is not in accordance with regulations.
7.3 Irrespective of legal grounds LEMKEN is liable only for damage, which has been caused by culpable intent or gross negligence or if the damage caused by LEMKEN has caused injury to life, limb or health, or in the case of a culpable breach of a material primary contractual duty or cardinal duty or in the case of the non-fulfilment of a guarantee or if a fault has been fraudulently concealed by LEMKEN. A cardinal duty within the meaning of this provision is a duty by LEMKEN, the fulfilment of which is essential to the performance of the contractual relationship between the parties, the breach of which jeopardises the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on compliance with which the customer may routinely rely.
7.4 In the case of the breach of a material primary contractual duty or cardinal duty, which is attributable to simple negligence, LEMKEN's liability is limited to the typically foreseeable loss.
7.5 Further liability of LEMKEN is excluded. Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected by these General Terms and Conditions of Business.
8. TERMINATION OF THE RIGHT OF USE
8.1 A purchase of the software subject to the stipulation of a specific term gives entitlement only to the use of the software until the end of that term.
8.2 In all cases, in which the entitlement to use has come to an end (for example, by withdrawal from the contract, subsequent deliveries) the customer shall immediately return all supplies of the contractual object and shall erase all copies, unless it is under a statutory duty of retention for a longer period. § 3 Point 4 remains unaffected. The customer shall assure LEMKEN in writing that it has complied with these requirements.
