§ 2 Service Description

2.1 regify-Provider IdeoSante offers its customers an encrypted e-mail service (regify®Service), where, by intervention of the regify®Software, e-mail message texts and data attachments are transmitted as an encrypted regify®File. The regify® software causes keys to be generated at the sender that are matched, by an independent clearing feature (regify® Clearing Service), with the data of the addressee. This ensures, in addition to the integrity of the transmitted data, that only the recipient can open the message, whereby a reading confirmation is generated for the sender. regify® services combine in the simplest manner the qualities of traditional registered mailing with the cost and time saving of e-mail, on the basis of e-mail services, which the Customer has been using all along.

2.2 The respective and applicable performance description includes a more detailed description of the services.

§ 3 Conclusion of Contract

3.1 Using an electronic order form on regify-Provider IdeoSante's portal, the Customer applies for the use of the regify® services (registration).
