Software rental license terms

1. Scope of the license
1.1. One Data has agreed with you (“Customer”) in a separate document between the parties (“Offer”) with individual terms and conditions to grant the Customer a license to use the software specified in the Offer (“Licensed Software”) in accordance with the conditions of these license terms. These license terms (“Rental Terms”), together with the Offer including all attachments, constitute a legal agreement (the “Agreement”) between One Data and the Customer.
1.2. The Licensed Software is the sole property of One Data.
1.3. The Licensed Software includes the object code of the Software and the documentation as defined in the Offer.

2. Granting of rights
2.1. One Data hereby grants the Customer, subject to payment by the Customer in accordance with the terms of the Offer and the terms defined in Section 9 of these Rental Terms, the non-exclusive, time-limited right to use the Licensed Software in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including its appendices and the Offer. All ownership claims to all data storage media as well as to the documentation handed out remain with One Data until all payments from the Customer have been received in full.
2.2. The Customer is responsible for the use of the Licensed Software and any results obtained therefrom. Furthermore, the Customer is responsible for the compatibility of the Licensed Software with other software, hardware and the functioning of other products in connection with the Licensed Software.
2.3. The Customer is entitled to copy the Licensed Software if this is necessary for the installation of the Licensed Software on a computer system in the immediate possession of the Customer and for the fulfillment of the purpose of this Agreement. The Customer may also copy the Licensed Software if such is necessary for loading, displaying, running, transferring, storing or for system backups of the Licensed Software, but in total only to the extent specified in the Offer with regard to the number of cores, as well as to copy the Licensed Software for security purposes by an authorized person, as specified in § 69d Paragraph 2 UrhG. The Customer shall inform One Data immediately in writing if the number of copies exceeds the number of cores specified in the Offer. The Customer must clearly mark the copy for security purposes with the phrase “Security copy” as well as a copyright notice from One Data.
2.4. The Customer is entitled to alter the Licensed Software if this is necessary for the maintenance or restoration of the agreed functionality of the Licensed Software.
2.5. The Customer is not entitled to decompile the Licensed Software other than in accordance with the conditions of Section 69e (1) Nos. 1 to 3 UrhG and within the restrictions of Section 69e (2) Nos. 1 to 3 UrhG.
2.6. The Customer is not entitled to provide the Licensed Software or copies of the Licensed Software to third parties for the purpose of security backups. In particular, the Customer is not entitled to sell, lease, rent out or otherwise sublicense the Licensed Software or communicate it to the public or make it available to third parties.
2.7. If One Data provides updates (corrections of defects, bug fixes), upgrades (new versions) or other improvements to the Licensed Software and transfers them to the Customer free of charge, all said improvements become part of this Agreement.

3. Core licensing metrics
One Data offers the Licensed Software with a core license metric that is calculated by adding up all (virtual or physical) processor cores on which the Licensed Software is installed and/or running. The Customer’s internal users, external consultants or contractors may access the Licensed Software. The number of required licenses is determined by the maximum number of cores the Licensed Software has installed in a month. The minimum number of licensed cores is 8.

4. Right to test
The Customer agrees to permit One Data or One Data’s designee, upon One Data’s request, to audit whether the Customer’s use of the Licensed Software is in compliance with the rights granted to the Customer under this Agreement, provided there is a legitimate interest in such audits. The Customer further agrees to cooperate fully with One Data or its designee in conducting any such audit. If the Customer uses more copies of the Licensed Software than the number to which the Customer is entitled under this Agreement and the Offer, the Customer shall pay the full license fee as set forth in the applicable price list for the period beginning on the effective date of this Agreement, without discount for such excess use. The Customer is entitled to prove a shorter period of excessive use.

5. Right of withdrawal
If the Customer violates at least one of the above provisions, One Data may withdraw from granting the rights granted to the Customer under this Agreement with immediate effect. In this case, the Customer is obligated to immediately and completely discontinue the use of the Licensed Software, to delete all copies of the Licensed Software installed on its systems and, if applicable, to delete copies of the Licensed Software made for security backup purposes or, at its option, to hand them over to One Data.

6. Rights to the Licensed Software
The Customer acknowledges that he/she alone is granted the right to use the Licensed Software in accordance with this Agreement and that he/she is granted no other rights or title. One Data retains all rights in the Licensed Software not expressly granted under this Agreement. One Data retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Licensed Software (including, without limitation, any improvements suggested by the Customer or resulting from the Customer’s use of the Licensed Software) and any other inventions, developments, improvements, algorithms or formulas.

7. Use of third-party software
The installation and use of the Licensed Software may require the use of other components or other third-party software (e.g., Hadoop Spark, etc.) (“Third Party Software”) as it may be the case that the Licensed Software will not function without such Third Party Software. Any known software dependencies will be communicated to the Customer in advance.

8. Delivery and installation of the licensed product
8.1. One Data shall deliver to the Customer that number of copies of the Licensed Software required for the exercise of the rights of use under this Agreement in machine-readable form, at One Data’s discretion either on a data-storage device in common use at the time or by remote data transmission. The Customer receives the software documentation as an electronic document. The parties agree that One Data’s registered office is the place of performance for the delivery of the Licensed Software. The Customer bears all costs and risks in connection with such delivery. In case of transfer of the software, the transport risk (especially the risk of accidental loss or accidental destruction) of the copies of the Licensed Software is born by the Customer.
8.2. The Licensed Software is to be installed by the Customer. The Customer must inform One Data in writing of the respective installation locations of the copies of the Licensed Software. This also applies to later changes of installation locations.
8.3. All copies of the Licensed Software remain the sole property of One Data. In the event of breach of this Agreement by the Customer, in particular in the event of default in payment, One Data is entitled to demand, at the Customer’s expense, that the Customer return all copies of the Licensed Software to which One Data has retained title, retain no copies of the Licensed Software, and that all installations of the Licensed Software be irretrievably deleted from the Customer’s systems. Upon One Data’s request, the Customer must confirm the return and deletion in writing.

9. License fees and number of licenses
9.1. The license fees owed by the Customer to One Data for granting rights under this Agreement are set forth in the Offer. If the Agreement is not entered into on the first day of a calendar month and the Offer does not specify otherwise, the amount of the license fee for the first month of the Agreement will be prorated according to the remaining days of the calendar month (i) from the day after delivery of the first copies of the Licensed Software or (ii) in the case of Licensed Software downloadable from the internet, from the day after notification of and release of the login credentials for the download area of the Licensed Software. In the first month of the Agreement, the License Fees are payable upon full delivery/notification and release of the Licensed Software.
9.2. The Customer shall notify One Data, on a monthly basis, of the number of required cores, without prior notice from One Data and without delay.
9.3 The license fees are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Offer. One Data will invoice the Customer for the license fees in accordance with the payment schedule contained in the Offer. Invoices are payable as set forth in the Offer.
9.4. All prices are in Euro.
9.5. All amounts stated in the Offer are exclusive of applicable sales taxes, unless expressly stated otherwise. The current statutory sales-tax rate will be invoiced and paid by the Customer in addition to all fees. One Data must show the price and the sales tax amount separately on the invoice.
9.6 If the Customer is in default of payment, interest will be charged on the outstanding amount at a rate of nine percent (9%) above the current base interest rate. Other rights remain unaffected by this.

10. Remedying defects
10.1. The Licensed Software and its functions provided by One Data shall, during the agreed term, be substantially in accordance with the documentation and system environment actually provided and be usable in accordance with such documentation and system environment.
10.2. Defects in the Licensed Software shall only exist if the Licensed Software does not comply with the generally known documentation that was valid at the time the Agreement was concluded, although the Licensed Software is used within the scope of the announced terms of use.
10.3. Rights in the event of defects in the Licensed Software are excluded in the case of minor or insignificant deviations from the agreed or assumed features as well as in the case of slight impairment of use. Product descriptions shall only be deemed guaranteed if they have been agreed in writing. With respect to updates, upgrades and other improvements, the Customer’s rights in the case of defects shall be limited to the new features of the update, upgrade or new version compared to the previous published version.
10.4. Rights in the event of defects in the Licensed Software are excluded in the event of defects based on the following: (i) use of the Licensed Software in a hardware and/or software environment that does not meet the requirements of the Offer; or (ii) changes or modifications to the Licensed Software made by the Customer without having been authorized by law, this Agreement, or other prior written authorization from One Data to make such changes or modifications to the Licensed Software.
10.5. One Data does not provide any warranty for defects, malfunctions or losses as a result of (i) the Customer’s inappropriate handling of the Licensed Software, (ii) defects in the Customer’s system environment.
10.6. Defects must be promptly reported in writing. Such reports shall include a full description of the symptoms of the defect and the defects shall be substantiated to the maximum extent possible by written records, hard copies, or other documents demonstrating such defects. The report of the defect should permit reproduction of the defect. This does not affect the Customer’s legal obligation to inspect and report defects. The Customer shall use all reasonable efforts to search for and correct the defects. If One Data determines that One Data is not liable for the alleged defect in the Licensed Software because the defect is due to input errors or inappropriate use of the Licensed Software or to the hardware used, One Data shall be entitled to recover from the Customer a reasonable amount of money to cover the time and expenses incurred by personnel and data processors that were required to inspect the alleged defect.
10.7. If the Customer requests the remedying of a defect during the term of this Agreement, One Data is entitled to choose between rectification of the defect, replacement delivery or replacement service. The remedying of the defect can also take place via the delivery or installation of a new program version or a temporary solution. If the defect does not or not significantly affect functionality, One Data is entitled, excluding further rights in the case of defects, to rectify the defect by delivering a new version or an update as part of its version, update and upgrade planning.

11. Third-party claims
11.1. Should third parties claim rights to the Licensed Software and pursue them, One Data must do everything in its power to defend the Licensed Software at its own expense against the claimed rights of third parties. The Customer must immediately inform One Data in writing of the claim to such rights by third parties and must grant One Data all powers of attorney and authorizations necessary to defend the Licensed Software against the claimed rights of third parties.
11.2. In the event of defects in title, One Data shall be entitled, at its discretion, to either (i) take legitimate measures to eliminate the rights of third parties that interfere with the contractual use of the Licensed Software, or (ii) remedy the enforcement of such claims, or (iii) modify or replace the Licensed Software in a manner that no longer infringes the rights of third parties, provided and to the extent that this does not interfere with the warranted functionality of the Licensed Software.

12. Liability, damages
12.1. One Data is liable under this Agreement only as specified in the terms set forth in Sections 12.1.1 through 12.1.5 below:

12.1.4. One Data is liable in the event of product liability according to German product-liability law.
12.1.5. One Data is liable for losses caused by the breach of cardinal obligations by One Data, its legal representatives or agents.

If One Data breaches its cardinal obligations through simple negligence, its liability is limited to the amount that could have been foreseen by One Data at the time of the provision of the relevant service.
12.2. One Data is liable for the loss of data only up to the amount of typical recovery costs that would have been incurred if proper and regular data backup measures had been taken.
12.3. The Customer is solely responsible for (i) verifying the results generated by the use of the Licensed Software, and (ii) verifying the data he/she uses in the Licensed Software. The Customer indemnifies One Data against all claims for damages in connection with the use of the Licensed Software or the results generated thereby by the Customer.
12.4. Any more comprehensive liability on the part of One Data is excluded in principle. One Data is in particular not liable for initial defects if the above sections 12.1.1 to 12.1.5 do not come into effect.

13. Security measures
