the individual services. For more detailed information on prices, scope of

-
PROVISIO provides you with access to this server for the purpose of using the
information and tools available on the server in exchange of a monthly fee.

PROVISIO reserves the right to amend, change, add, delete or improve the
services subject to this contract. PROVISIO shall also be authorized to
diminish services, in particular with regard to the provision of data and data
sets available on the server. If such diminishment in services results in an
imbalance between service and return, which may be considered to be more than
insignificant, you shall be entitled to appropriate diminishment in
remuneration. Should the parties fail to agree on such a diminishment, each
party may terminate this agreement on written notice.
-
PROVISIO shall be given the right to terminate at any time and without prior
notice all free services provided within the SiteRemote server system. Any
termination of services shall not entitle you to any reimbursement or
compensation.

appropriate notice. Unless you object to the conditions altered in such a way
within two weeks after the receipt of the notification of change and no later
than to the point in time at which the alterations will take effect, these
alterations shall take effect in accordance with the notification of change. If
you object within the given period of notice, PROVISIO may terminate the
contract at the point in time at which the altered conditions are to take
effect. Any objection on your part shall be in writing.

is responsible.
-
Although PROVISIO will create backup copies of the data stored on the server,
no guarantee shall be given against total loss of data. PROVISIO shall be
liable for a total loss of data only to the amount equal to the maximum usage
fees paid during the previous month, unless PROVISIO acts in gross negligence
or intentional misconduct.
Certain data concerning the machines shall be removed after a specific period
of time.
-
The SiteRemote system provides information and programs intended to assist
professional users in creating statistics as well as correcting any device
malfunctions and in rendering efficient services on the SiteKiosk clients.
Despite the constant updates and revisions of the data and programs stored on
the SiteRemote server system, the final decision about the use thereof shall be
in the competence of the user. PROVISIO shall not be liable for any damages of
costs incurred by the information displayed in SiteRemote. PROVISIO shall
therefore not be liable for the information to be transmitted and, in
particular, their completeness, accuracy or currency, nor their sustainability
for any particular purpose.
-
PROVISIO shall not be liable for any damage-causing events that fall into the
responsibility of the corresponding service provider.
-
PROVISIO shall not be liable for any loss, damage or delay caused by acts of
God, public authorities acting with actual or apparent authority, strikes,
labour disputes, breakdown of communicative devices or gateways operated by
other providers, as well as failure of services provided by other suppliers or
network providers.
- PROVISIO do not assume liability for lost revenues, loss of profit, damage to or
the loss of data as well as any damage resulting thereof, especially phone
costs, communication costs or provider costs except in the event that
PROVISIO acted in a grossly negligent way or intentionally, or bodily
harm is subject matter of the damage event and as far as this is applicable
by law.
PROVISIO will not reimburse for any phone charges, connection fees or other costs
occurring in conjunction with the usage of our SiteRemote services or software.
PROVISIO also do not assume liability for any installation-, maintenance
or service costs which result from the SiteRemote software directly or
indirectly.
-
PROVISIO shall not be required to pay any reimbursement in the event of any
breakdowns due to failures that lie beyond PROVISIO's control.
-
In the event of liability on the part of PROVISIO, maximum liability shall be
limited to one monthly rent, unless PROVISIO acts in gross negligence or
intentional misconduct.
-
Please note that your PC will need to meet the following minimum requirements
for the use of SiteRemote server:
IBM or 100% IBM-compatible PC; 32bit operating system Microsoft Windows98 or
higher; graphics chip High Color or higher*; screen resolution of 800x600* or
higher; Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; enabled Java Script engine;
cookies enabled; Internet connection with 33.600 bps or higher
*otherwise you may experience limitations of screen representation
We also recommend: Windows 2000 or XP, Pentium Processor 1GHz or higher; 128MB
of RAM or higher; monitor resolution 1024x760; printer; Internet connection
with 64 Kbps or higher
-
Occasionally, certain maintenance operations will need to be performed and
programs and database entries will need to be updated on the SiteRemote server.
SiteRemote server may not be available during these times. PROVISIO shall
always do its best to reduce downtime to a minimum and to limit maintenance
operations to times during which only few users will potentially access the
system.
Please note, however, that you shall not automatically be entitled to
reimbursement of usage fees in the event of a server-down situation unless
PROVISIO acts in gross negligence or the servers are down for more than 20
percent of the potential monthly usage time. In either of the latter events,
PROVISIO shall reimburse you according to the time you were unable to use the
service upon a corresponding request submitted by E-mail.
-
PROVISIO likes to call to your attention that the currently available technology
does not allow the production of Internet software and applications that will work
flawlessly in all applications and combinations. The object of this contract is
therefore only a software application that can be used in accordance with the
program's description and its manual. This holds true in particular for the
compatibility with other browsers. SiteRemote was developed to be compatible with
Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6.0. Older or future version of this software may be
incompatible.
§ 8 NOTE CONCERNING TELESERVICES ACT
-
Links to third party Web sites are provided for user convenience and
information only. As the content on a linked Web site is beyond the operator's
control, the operator shall not be responsible for the content on linked Web
sites, including any further links contained on a third party Web site. Only
when the operator discovers or is made aware by others that specific Web
content, to which it has provided a link, establishes civil or penal liability,
shall the operator block this content insofar as this is technically feasible
and can reasonably be expected. Technical feasibility and reasonable
expectation shall not be affected by the fact that access to the illegal or
criminal content may still be possible from other servers despite the operator
having disabled access to it from its own Web site. Although the operator
examined the third-party content when it was first linked to determine whether
it would establish liability under civil or penal law, the operator shall not
be obliged to continuously monitor the third-party content which it has linked
on its Web site for alterations that may give new grounds for liability.
§ 9 USE BY THIRD PARTIES
-
The use of the SiteRemote system shall be restricted to customers and staff of
PROVISIO GmbH. Use by third parties shall be expressly prohibited unless
written permission is granted by PROVISIO GmbH.
-
If use by third parties is permitted, you shall ensure the compliance with this
contract by any third party.
§ 10 GENERAL
-
This agreement shall be considered a legally binding contract in accordance
with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany applicable at the time of
conclusion.
-
If any particular clause of this contract shall be or be held invalid or shall
not apply to the contract, all other clauses shall remain in full force and
effect and the parties shall agree on a substitute provision that is legal and
enforceable and is as nearly possible consistent with the intention underlying
the original provision.
-
No subsidiary agreements shall be concluded. All proposed amendments to this
contract shall be in writing including the abrogation of the provision in
written form.
-
The parties agree that the place of jurisdiction shall be the seat of PROVISIO
GmbH if allowed by law.
