- A change in the burden of proof to the detriment of the contractual partner is not connected to the above provisions.
- Given the current state of technology, it cannot be guaranteed that data communication over the Internet is free of errors and/or available at all times. Raynet cannot, therefore, be held liable for the continuous and uninterrupted availability of online services.

- The liability of Raynet for damages due to delays shall be limited to 10% in total for compensation in addition to performance (including the reimbursement of the futile expenses) and, for compensation in lieu of performance, to 10% of the value of the product or service in question.

The limitation shall not apply in cases of a culpable breach of material contractual obligations. A change in the burden of proof to the detriment of the contractual partner is not connected to the above provisions.
- Events of force majeure, which would significantly impede the performance or make it impossible, as well as the failure of the contractual partner to comply with its duty to cooperate under § 5 (2) of these General Terms and Conditions, shall entitle Raynet to postpone the fulfilment of its obligations for the duration of the impediment plus a reasonable lead time. Cases of force majeure shall also include other circumstances, which could not have been foreseen at the time of concluding the agreement, in particular operational faults of any kind, strikes and lockouts, difficulty in obtaining materials or energy, transportation delays, shortage of labour, difficulties in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, governmental actions, burglary, vandalism and other criminal acts on the part of third parties, and similar events, which affect Raynet directly or indirectly, and for which it is not responsible.
- Should such events render the supply of goods or services difficult or impossible, and if the impediment is not only of a temporary nature, Raynet shall be entitled to rescind the agreement.
- If the contractual partner cannot be reasonably expected to accept the delivery or performance, he may rescind the contract by sending a written notice to this effect to Raynet without undue delay.
- If Raynet is in default with provision of the services under this agreement, the contractual partner may terminate the agreement after setting a reasonable time limit in writing. If the delay is not due to a fault on the part of Raynet, the entitlement to claim damages for delay shall be excluded.
- If the contractual partner is in default with acceptance of the services or if he omits or delays a cooperation which is obliged to him according to this agreement or any other duty to cooperate, Raynet may demand the agreed remuneration for services not rendered as a result (excluding ancillary costs) without being obliged to provide supplementary performance.
- This shall not affect the rights of Raynet with respect to compensation for any additional expenses incurred.
- Unless expressly stipulated otherwise, the place of performance for all obligations arising from the agreement is Paderborn, Germany. If the scope of services to be rendered by Raynet also includes installation, the place of performance is the location where the installation is to take
place. - The delivery method and packaging are at the due discretion of Raynet.
- When goods are delivered, the risk passes to the contractual partner upon handover of goods to the carrier. If the delivery is delayed due to circumstances attributable to the contractual partner, the risk shall pass to the contractual partner as soon as Raynet has made the goods ready for despatch or handover and has notified the contractual partner to that effect.
- If products are delivered via download, the risk is passed to the contracting partner with the last data package belonging to the product files via the data port of the Raynet server.
- If acceptance is required, the item shall be deemed to have been accepted if (a) the delivery and, to the extent that the scope of services to be rendered by Raynet includes installation, the installation is complete; (b) Raynet has informed the contractual partner of the aforementioned
deemed acceptance and has requested him to accept the performance; (c) four weeks have elapsed since the delivery or installation, or the contractual partner has started to use the item and in this case, 14 working days have passed since the delivery or installation; (d) the contractual partner has not accepted the performance during this period for a reason other than having notified Raynet of a defect, which makes the use of the item impossible or which significantly affects it.
- The agreement shall expire at the end of the agreed term.
- The foregoing shall be without prejudice to the right of termination for important reasons.

- The corresponding currency is shown in the respective offer and the order.
- The payment for the goods in the online shop may be performed by credit card, PayPal, direct debit, or invoice. Payment for all other products and services will be made by invoice.
- The fees stated for the goods in the online shop refer to packaging and programming services being rendered by Raynet. They do not refer to the packaged application and their content itself. Contractual partner has to purchase and license these separately from the particular
manufacturer. - The payment for the products and services of Raynet shall be calculated on the basis of time spent by Raynet and its employees or vicarious agents on their respective activities, including travel times (time-based fees), unless stipulated otherwise for individual cases.

- In the event of delayed payment, Raynet shall be entitled, after issuing a reminder to no effect, to charge interest at a rate of at least 8% p.a. above the base rate (Section 247 (1) of the German Civil Code (BGB)); unless the contractual partner can prove that the actual damage suffered is
demonstrably lower. Raynet shall be entitled to assert higher damages, if it can prove that is suffered a higher damage as a result of the delay. - Raynet shall be entitled to supply any outstanding goods and services only against advance payment or collateral if after the conclusion of the agreement, it becomes aware of any circumstances that are likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the creditworthiness of the contractual partner and due to which the payment of outstanding claims of Raynet arising from the agreement by the contractual partner is exposed to a risk (including other individual contracts, which are subject to the same framework agreement).
1. If the products are defective, the contractual partner shall not be entitled to withhold payment unless the delivery is obviously defective or the contractual partner is clearly entitled to refuse acceptance. In such a case, the contractual partner shall only be entitled to withhold payment if the withheld amount is in proportion to the potential costs of supplementary performance (in particular, the cost of remedying the defect). The contractual partner shall not be entitled to assert any claims and rights due to defects if he has failed to make payments when due, and the payable amount is proportional to the value of the defective goods or services.
2. Offset is only permitted in the case of undisputed or legally established claims.
The contractual partner may only assign claims arising from this agreement with the express consent of Raynet.

- Raynet shall not be liable for damages to legal interests other than life, limb or health, if damage is not caused due to deliberate action or gross negligence. This shall not affect the liability for the violation of substantial contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which is absolutely required for the proper rendering of the services owed under the agreement and the adherence to which the contractual partner may regularly rely on.
- The liability of Raynet for data loss shall be limited to the typical data recovery cost which would have been incurred if regular backups were carried out.
- The above exclusions of liability shall not apply if Raynet has fraudulently concealed a defect or has given a quality guarantee for the goods. Liability under the German Product Liability Law shall remain unaffected.
- Raynet shall be liable for impossibility of deliveries or services only in cases of intent or gross negligence on the part of its statutory representatives or vicarious agents. The above section shall apply accordingly. In the case of gross negligence, the liability of Raynet shall be limited to foreseeable, typical damage. In all other cases, the liability of Raynet for damages and reimbursement of futile expenses due to impossibility shall be limited to 10% of the value of goods or services. Any further claims by the contractual partner due to impossibility of delivery shall be excluded. The contractual partner’s right to withdraw from the agreement shall remain unaffected.
- A change in the burden of proof to the detriment of the contractual partner is not connected to the above provisions.
- Given the current state of technology, it cannot be guaranteed that data communication over the Internet is free of errors and/or available at all times. Raynet cannot, therefore, be held liable for the continuous and uninterrupted availability of online services.
- The time limits and dates proposed by Raynet for the supply of goods and services shall always be deemed approximate, unless a fixed date or period has been expressly agreed.
- The liability of Raynet for damages due to delays shall be limited to 10% in total for compensation in addition to performance (including the reimbursement of the futile expenses) and, for compensation in lieu of performance, to 10% of the value of the product or service in question. Any further claims of the contractual partner shall be excluded – even after the expiry of a possible time limit imposed upon Raynet for performance. The limitation shall not apply in cases of a culpable breach of material contractual obligations. A change in the burden of proof to the detriment of the contractual partner is not connected to the above provisions.
- Events of force majeure, which would significantly impede the performance or make it impossible, as well as the failure of the contractual partner to comply with its duty to cooperate under § 5 (2) of these General Terms and Conditions, shall entitle Raynet to postpone the fulfilment of its obligations for the duration of the impediment plus a reasonable lead time. Cases of force majeure shall also include other circumstances, which could not have been foreseen at the time of concluding the agreement, in particular operational faults of any kind, strikes and lockouts, difficulty in obtaining materials or energy, transportation delays, shortage of labour, difficulties in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, governmental actions, burglary, vandalism and other criminal acts on the part of third parties, and similar events, which affect Raynet directly or indirectly, and for which it is not responsible.
- Should such events render the supply of goods or services difficult or impossible, and if the impediment is not only of a temporary nature, Raynet shall be entitled to rescind the agreement.
- If the contractual partner cannot be reasonably expected to accept the delivery or performance, he may rescind the contract by sending a written notice to this effect to Raynet without undue delay.
- If Raynet is in default with provision of the services under this agreement, the contractual partner may terminate the agreement after setting a reasonable time limit in writing. If the delay is not due to a fault on the part of Raynet, the entitlement to claim damages for delay shall be excluded.
- If the contractual partner is in default with acceptance of the services or if he omits or delays a cooperation which is obliged to him according to this agreement or any other duty to cooperate, Raynet may demand the agreed remuneration for services not rendered as a result (excluding ancillary costs) without being obliged to provide supplementary performance.
- This shall not affect the rights of Raynet with respect to compensation for any additional expenses incurred.
- Unless expressly stipulated otherwise, the place of performance for all obligations arising from the agreement is Paderborn, Germany. If the scope of services to be rendered by Raynet also includes installation, the place of performance is the location where the installation is to take
place. - The delivery method and packaging are at the due discretion of Raynet.
- When goods are delivered, the risk passes to the contractual partner upon handover of goods to the carrier. If the delivery is delayed due to circumstances attributable to the contractual partner, the risk shall pass to the contractual partner as soon as Raynet has made the goods ready for despatch or handover and has notified the contractual partner to that effect.
- If products are delivered via download, the risk is passed to the contracting partner with the last data package belonging to the product files via the data port of the Raynet server.
- If acceptance is required, the item shall be deemed to have been accepted if (a) the delivery and, to the extent that the scope of services to be rendered by Raynet includes installation, the installation is complete; (b) Raynet has informed the contractual partner of the aforementioned
deemed acceptance and has requested him to accept the performance; (c) four weeks have elapsed since the delivery or installation, or the contractual partner has started to use the item and in this case, 14 working days have passed since the delivery or installation; (d) the contractual partner has not accepted the performance during this period for a reason other than having notified Raynet of a defect, which makes the use of the item impossible or which significantly affects it.
- The agreement shall expire at the end of the agreed term.
- The foregoing shall be without prejudice to the right of termination for important reasons.
- Notice of termination must be served in written form in order to be valid.
- In the event of termination, full remuneration has to be paid to Raynet for the services provided up to the end of the contract and non-refundable incidental expenses (e.g. hotel and flight booking).
- All fees and any other invoiced amounts (e.g. travel expenses, out-of-pocket-expenses, ancillary costs, etc.) are exclusive of taxes and custom duties.
- The corresponding currency is shown in the respective offer and the order.
- The payment for the goods in the online shop may be performed by credit card, PayPal, direct debit, or invoice. Payment for all other products and services will be made by invoice.
- The fees stated for the goods in the online shop refer to packaging and programming services being rendered by Raynet. They do not refer to the packaged application and their content itself. Contractual partner has to purchase and license these separately from the particular
manufacturer. - The payment for the products and services of Raynet shall be calculated on the basis of time spent by Raynet and its employees or vicarious agents on their respective activities, including travel times (time-based fees), unless stipulated otherwise for individual cases.
- Fee amounts are based on fee schedules of Raynet that are applicable to the respective order. Additional or special services shall be charged separately.
- Fees are due within 30 calendar days of the date of the invoice, unless otherwise agreed.
- Fees are payable in full upon delivery or acceptance. Without any further notice from Raynet, the contractual partner will be in default of payment if no payment is received within 15 days after the due date.
- In the event of delayed payment, Raynet shall be entitled, after issuing a reminder to no effect, to charge interest at a rate of at least 8% p.a. above the base rate (Section 247 (1) of the German Civil Code (BGB)); unless the contractual partner can prove that the actual damage suffered is
demonstrably lower. Raynet shall be entitled to assert higher damages, if it can prove that is suffered a higher damage as a result of the delay. - Raynet shall be entitled to supply any outstanding goods and services only against advance payment or collateral if after the conclusion of the agreement, it becomes aware of any circumstances that are likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the creditworthiness of the contractual partner and due to which the payment of outstanding claims of Raynet arising from the agreement by the contractual partner is exposed to a risk (including other individual contracts, which are subject to the same framework agreement).
1. If the products are defective, the contractual partner shall not be entitled to withhold payment unless the delivery is obviously defective or the contractual partner is clearly entitled to refuse acceptance. In such a case, the contractual partner shall only be entitled to withhold payment if the withheld amount is in proportion to the potential costs of supplementary performance (in particular, the cost of remedying the defect). The contractual partner shall not be entitled to assert any claims and rights due to defects if he has failed to make payments when due, and the payable amount is proportional to the value of the defective goods or services.
2. Offset is only permitted in the case of undisputed or legally established claims.
The contractual partner may only assign claims arising from this agreement with the express consent of Raynet.
