as of 2013/12/16
§ 1 Scope of General Terms & Conditions
1.1 The Agence eSanté G.I.E. (hereinafter
referred to as “regify-Provider") shall provide
the services specified in the respective and applicable performance description
vis-à-vis its Customer pursuant to the ensuing General Terms and Conditions, a
- principally electronically – completed order form, the respective and
applicable performance description, and the respective and applicable price
list. In the event of contradictions between the General Terms and Conditions,
the conditions in the respective order form and in the respective performance
description, the following sequence shall apply: Order form, General Terms and
Conditions, Performance Description. All aforesaid documents are available on
the internet on the web portal of the regify provider
in their respective and applicable version. The conditions respectively
published at the time of the conclusion of the contract shall apply. Upon
request, the customer shall be mailed the aforesaid documents in writing.
1.2
Deviating Terms and Conditions of the Customer shall not apply. They shall be
inapplicable also without any explicit objection by the regify-Provider.
§ 2 Service Description
2.1 The regify-Provider 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 the regify-Provider's
portal, the Customer applies for the use of the regify®
services (registration). The application requires the confirmation of the order
by the regify-Provider, which may be given by fax, by
e-mail, or by clearing the access to the regify®
system by assignment of a password.
3.2 The regify-Provider differentiates between chargeable and free
of charge customers. Following registration and activation, the free of charge regify® customer may only receive and read regify® e-mail messages. Following registration and
activation, the chargeable regify® customer can, in
addition, send regify® e-mail messages, monitor his
sending procedures, and view his sent messages history.
3.3 The
use of the regify® service is conducted on a usage
dependent basis, based on advance payment and the respective applicable price
list. Unless otherwise expressly agreed, payment shall be made electronically
by use of standard payment methods (such as Credit Card, EC card, or by direct
debit authorization). Upon request, the Customer shall receive an invoice for
the services used.
§ 4 Duration and Termination of the Contract
4.1
Unless otherwise specifically stipulated in the respective order form, the
contract shall be concluded for an indefinite term as of conclusion,
and may be terminated by any of the parties with a termination term of
one month to the end of the month.
4.2
Termination may be in writing, by Telefax, or by e-mail.
§ 5 Restrictions and Exclusions
5.1 The regify® service increases the security and the value of
burden of proof with regards to delivery of electronic declarations. However,
no guarantee is assumed for any court of any legal system to allow regify® e-mail as appropriate evidence (increased legal
certainty). Particularly, regify® e-mail cannot
replace any written or electronic form required by law or agreed upon by legal
transaction.
5.2 The regify-Provider provides its services with a web-based
tool. The reachability of the web-based portal therefore depends on the dial-in
setup provided by the Customer's provider of telecommunication services line
and network as used by the Customer. The reachability of the web-based portal
may thus be limited by the technical circumstances of the Customer's provider
of the telecommunication network. The regify-Provider
does not assume responsibility for the aforesaid.
5.3 The
web-based portal shall be principally accessible for the Customer on an annual
average of 24 hours per day, with an average monthly availability of 99.0%
(-7.2 hours per month). The limitation of availability may result from
maintenance and servicing of the web-based tool (maintenance work), which would
cause interruptions of access to the web-based tool for the duration of the
maintenance work.
5.4 To
the extent to which the Customer is provided with a software download for the
use of the regify®-Service, particularly the
web-based portal, the Customer shall receive the non-exclusive right, limited
to the duration of this contract, to use the end customer component of the
software (client software) as required for the usage in the aforesaid scope.
Authorized usage of software within the meaning of the contract shall thus
consist only of the retrieval of the services provided by the software. The
transfer, or further reaching usage of the respectively implemented software
program itself, is not subject matter of the contract.
5.5 The regify-Provider shall be entitled, from time to time, to
technically modify the regify®-Service. The regify-Provider hereby reserves the right to limit its
support of legacy versions for a period of only 6 months following notification
(end-of-life).
§ 6 Customer's Obligations
6.1 The
Customer shall install the regify® system on his
system at his own responsibility. The regify-Provider
shall not assume any responsibility for data loss or other damages that might
occur in the context with this installation at the Customer unless such loss or
damages are provable results of technical faults in the regify®
system.
6.2 The
Customer shall promptly inform the regify-Provider of
any change to his name, place of residence or business, e-mail address, legal
form and/or – if required – his invoicing address or bank details.
6.3 The Customer undertakes,
6.4 A
violation of the aforesaid regulations shall entitle the regify-Provider
to immediate deactivation of the Customer, and to immediate termination of the
contractual relationship.
§ 7 Data Protection, Secrecy of Telecommunications
7.1 The regify-Provider shall collect, process and use personal
data subject to the provisions of the data protection law, and in observation
of the secrecy of telecommunications. Thereby any inventory data and traffic
data collected from the Customer shall only be collected and processed to the
extent to which it is required for proper execution of the contractual
relationship.
7.2 The regify-Provider shall be liable for loss of data only in
the framework of liability pursuant to section 8.
7.3 The regify-Provider shall limit availability of transaction
data of a regify®File (time of transmission/receipt,
reading confirmation) on its web based portal to the
duration of this agreement. Following termination of the contract, the regify-Provider shall delete any such data.
§ 8 Liability
8.1 The
following provisions regulate comprehensively the liability of the regify-Provider vis-a-vis the Customer in the context of
this contract. Said provisions shall apply regardless of whether the liability
arises from an action or a forbearance, or whether it was caused by the regify-Provider himself or by his legal representatives,
senior employees, organs or any other employee.
8.2 The
liability of the regify-Provider, regardless of the
legal ground, is limited to damages caused by gross negligence and willfully,
as far as the following liability regulations do not determine otherwise. In
the event of ordinary negligence, the regify-Provider
shall be liable only insofar, as an obligation has been violated, the
fulfillment of which constitutes a precondition for the execution of the
contract, the violation of which jeopardizes the obtainment of the purpose of
the contract, and on the compliance of which the customer relies. However,
liability for material and monetary damages shall in such an event be limited
to a maximum amount of Euro 2,500.00 per damaging event, and within a period of
12 calendar months to a maximum amount of Euro 10,000.00. Liability for
indirect or consequential damages shall be excluded in any event. The aforesaid
does not apply to cases of intent.
8.3 The
statutory liability of the regify-Provider pursuant
to the Law of Product Liability and other compulsory statutory liability
regulations regarding the statutory liability for physical injuries caused by the
regify-Provider (with or without lethal consequences)
remains unaffected.
§ 9 Deactivation of Services
The regify-Provider shall be entitled to block access to its
services in whole or in part, if
§ 10 Miscellaneous
10.1 The regify-Provider shall be entitled to transfer rights and
obligations arising from this contract, in parts or in whole, to companies
affiliated with the regify-Provider. The regify-Provider shall notify the Customer accordingly.
10.2 Any
mutual declarations pursuant to this contract may be submitted by the parties
in writing, by telefax or in text form (e-mail etc.).
10.3 Any
dispute that could not have been settled amicably will be the responsibility of
the competent courts of Luxembourg, insofar as the Customer is a fully
qualified merchant, and the contract is part of the operation of his commercial
enterprise. The regify-Provider may also assert its
claims at the courts of the Customer's general legal venue. Any exclusive legal
venue remains unaffected thereof.
10.4 In
the event that any individual provision of this contract is held to be or
become invalid, this shall not affect the legal validity of the remaining
provisions. In replacement of the invalid provision, a valid provision shall be
agreed upon resembling the mutually desired as economically close as possible.
The same applies to the completion of any legal gaps.
10.5 The
exclusively applicable law for all legal relationships between the regify-Provider and the Customer shall be the law of
Luxemburg under exclusion of the UN Sales Law (CISG) or any other international
conventions.
