II. SUBJECT / OBLIGATION TO PERFORM 404MEDIA AGENCY & REQUIREMENTS

1. The SaaS services offered as part of the CATAMA application are divided into individual service products and packages. You may also choose supplements and resources to the SaaS Services and Services. 404MEDIA makes these SaaS services available to you via the Internet. You thus receive the technical possibility and authorization to use the CATAMA SaaS services in accordance with these conditions. These are hosted on central servers.

In addition to the general system requirements, only the services specified in the most recent product description in relation to the product you have selected (see also www.catama-software.de/preise-und-dienstleistungen. html)

The CATAMA SaaS services are accessed via the browser (latest Chrome or Firefox) via a user interface. Data processing and encrypted access to your data as well as storage and backup of your data on the CATAMA server take place using encrypted transmission. 404MEDIA also takes care of the maintenance and care of the hardware and software infrastructure required to use the CATAMA SaaS services.

On the website at www.catama-software.de, the current documentation that describes the CATAMA SaaS services is only available to you in electronic form. The current hardware and software conditions of use required by the customer for the use of the CATAMA SaaS services are also described there. The operation and maintenance of these technical requirements is your sole responsibility - also in the case of further developments of the CATAMA SaaS services or their infrastructure.

2. If you use free services of the CATAMA application or if the CATAMA SaaS services or services you have selected contain services/services that go beyond the specifications listed in the product description, this is done free of charge and without any legal claim.

Insofar as 404MEDIA provides free CATAMA SaaS services or services, these can be discontinued at any time and without prior notice. If the setting is of importance to you, you will be informed by 404MEDIA at least one week in advance. However, claims for reduction, reimbursement or compensation for damages are excluded.

3. 404MEDIA provides the CATAMA SaaS services based on complex and modern web technology. 404MEDIA intends to further develop the CATAMA SaaS services and services at its own discretion in order to provide users with maximum convenience and functionality. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the CATAMA SaaS Services provided by 404MEDIA may change to a reasonable extent during the Contract Term.

Reasonability is given in particular if:
a) the CATAMA services contain products from other manufacturers and these are not, no longer or only available in a modified form to 404MEDIA without this being due to circumstances for which 404MEDIA is responsible,
b) new legal or official requirements make a change to CATAMA necessary,
c) the agreed services no longer correspond to the current state of the art, the safety regulations or data protection or their operability is no longer guaranteed, or
d) agreed services in whole or in part for the same or higher-value services are exchanged, the agreed target quality remains essentially unchanged and the associated change in service is reasonable. 404MEDIA will notify you of changes in performance of the CATAMA application at least one month before they take effect.

As far as possible, necessary maintenance and repair work will be announced, in particular the routine maintenance work will be announced to you in advance. Unavailability due to maintenance work does not justify a reduction claim if this does not exceed 24 hours a day, 48 hours a week or 96 hours a month.

6. Unless expressly stated, 404MEDIA does not owe any further services. In particular, 404MEDIA is not obliged to provide installation, consulting, adaptation and/or training services or to create and provide individual functions or additional programs.

404MEDIA points out that the security products used by 404MEDIA and CATAMA cannot offer 100% protection against harmful content. 404MEDIA therefore assumes no liability or guarantee for the security of the CATAMA SaaS service against corresponding threats, insofar as 404MEDIA has fulfilled its above obligations.

The provider of the page to which reference is made is solely liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and for damage arising from the use or non-use of this information, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links. In the case of direct or indirect references to third-party websites ("links") that lie outside the area of ​​responsibility of 404MEDIA, a liability obligation would only come into effect if 404MEDIA was aware of the content and it was technically possible and reasonable for it to do so to prevent the use of illegal content.

- You notify 404MEDIA immediately in writing as soon as you have become aware of the claims asserted against you, and

– you combine the products with hardware or software that does not meet the requirements specified in the description.

1. Events of force majeure that make the service significantly more difficult or temporarily impossible entitle each contracting party to postpone the performance of its service for the duration of the hindrance and a reasonable start-up time.

2. Labor disputes and similar circumstances are equivalent to force majeure insofar as they are unforeseeable, serious and no fault of ours: Official orders, the failure of communication networks or gateways of other operators as well as disruptions in the area of ​​other telecommunications or service providers are also considered comparable events. The parties shall notify each other of such circumstances without undue delay.

XVI FINAL PROVISIONS

1. The assignment of rights and claims from the contract, unless expressly permitted, is only permitted with the prior written consent of 404MEDIA. However, 404MEDIA is entitled to transfer the entire contract to companies affiliated with it.

2. The Terms of Contract constitute the entire agreement between you and 404MEDIA and govern your use of the Products.

3. Failure to exercise or enforce any right or remedy granted under the Terms of Contract or to which 404MEDIA is entitled under applicable law shall not be construed as a formal waiver of 404MEDIA's rights - rather, 404MEDIA the rights continue to.

4. Should individual provisions be or become invalid in whole or in part, this does not affect the validity of the remaining clauses. The contractual partners are obliged to replace the ineffective clause with a valid regulation that is equivalent in economic success, provided that this does not lead to a significant change in the content of the contract.
