4. Warranties and Liabilities
=============================
The company guarantees for a period limited to twelve months from the date of ha
nd over that the operation of the software is essentially in accordance with the
program description contained in the documentation accompanying the software.
The period of warranty amounts to two years if the licensee is a consumer in the
sense of the German Civil Code.
If a deficiency becomes apparent then the problem and its manifestation must be
described in writing and with sufficient detail (e.g. inclusion of error message
s) so as to permit the company to simulate the deficiency and to exclude the pos
sibility of an operating error (e.g. by a detailed description of the operating

procedure).
If the deficiencies can be justified the licensee grants the company an appropri
ate period of time to correct the problem and ensure compliance with the require
ments.
The licensee informs the licensor which type of corrective action is required i.e. improvement of the delivered software or exchange for a new software packag
e that is free from deficiencies. However, the licensor has the right to refuse
the selected type of corrective action if this should involve disproportionate e
xpenses for the licensor and if the alternative type of corrective action entail
s disadvantages that may be deemed to be acceptable for the licensee. Furthermor
e, the licensor can refuse compliance with the requirements altogether if this w
ould involve disproportionate expenses for the licensor.
The licensor is entitled to two attempts within the period set by the licensee t
o remedy the actual deficiency or any deficiency resulting directly from the ori
ginal deficiency. If the second attempt of the licensor to remedy the deficiency
should fail, then the licensee has the right to withdraw from the License Agree
ment or to reduce the license fee. The licensee can exercise his right to withdr
awal as well as his right to a reduction of the license fee after the first atte
mpt to remedy the deficiency has been unsuccessful, provided that it is apparent
that a second attempt has no reasonable chance of succeeding within the period
set by the licensee. If the licensor has refused to remedy the deficiency within
the terms detailed above, then the licensee is entitled to exercise his right t
o a reduction as well as the right of withdrawal immediately.
The licensee can not withdraw from the agreement on the basis of an insignifican
t deficiency.
If the warranty claim lodged by the licensee with the company concerns a non-exi
stent deficiency, or if the deficiency on which the claim is based is not covere
d by the warranty, then the licensee will be held liable for all expenditures ca
used to the company, whether this was caused by gross negligence or intentionall
y.
The warranty specifically excludes any declaration of the suitability of the sof
tware for the purposes of the licensee as well as the compatibility with any oth
er software that may have been installed on the computers of the licensee.
Manuals and documentation above and beyond the written material / program descri
ptions supplied with the software and the user-guides and / or on-line help text
implemented in the software or any other introduction can only be claimed if th
ese materials were specifically included in the written agreement between the pa
rties to this agreement. If such an agreement exists, then the requirements with
respect to content, language and scope of the manual and / or documentation are
deemed not to have been specified in detail, and the delivery of a quick refere
nce is sufficient, unless the parties have agreed to a different set of specific
ations in writing.
The delivery of an English language user manual is permissible if the object of
the agreement has not yet been completely localized for the respective market. T
he same statement applies if the object of the agreement is generally only avail
able in an English-language version.
Over and above the terms of this warranty the company is only liable for a perio
d of one calendar year from the date of delivery of the software for cases invol
ving gross negligence in accordance with statutory provisions. In cases of minor
negligence the company is only liable if an essential contractual obligation (c
ardinal-duty) was contravened or in a case of default or the impossibility of pe
rformance. In the case that the liability arises from minor negligence then the
liability is restricted to predictable or typical damages. Any liability for a l
ack of the guaranteed quality, bad faith, personal damages, deficiencies in titl
e, in accordance with the law on product liability and the Federal Act on Data P
rivacy remains effective.
In case of a demand on the company based on warranty conditions or liabilities a
contributory liability of the licensee must be taken into account, especially i
n cases where error messages or backup procedures are inadequate. A situation of
an inadequate backup exists specifically when the licensee has omitted to provi

de adequate and appropriate state-of-the-art protection against external influen


ces, especially against computer viruses and other phenomena that could endanger
individual data items or the entire repository of data.
