Subject to future changes according to the provisions of this EULA, the version of the EULA valid at the time of conclusion of contract shall apply.
The EULA applies to the entire business relationship between Voxvita Corporation and You with respect to the use of the Software. General terms and conditions that conflict with or deviate from the provisions of this EULA shall not apply unless Voxvita Corporation expressly agrees to their application in writing. The present EULA shall also apply exclusively if Voxvita Corporation without reservation performs the service in knowledge of terms and conditions that conflict with or deviate from the present EULA.
Different terms and conditions apply depending on whether You order our Software as a consumer or as an enterprise. If You order our Software as a consumer, the relevant terms and conditions are to be taken from the general part (A) in combination with part (B). If You should order our Software as an enterprise, the general part (A) in combination with part (C), which contains specific regulations for enterprise, shall apply.
Part (A) – General Provisions
1. Registration; Test Period and Conclusion of the License Agreement
In order to use the Software, You must register by providing your email address and agree to this EULA and the Privacy Policy.
Upon completion of the registration process, you will receive a confirmation e-mail from us. By virtue of this confirmation e-mail the agreement on the use of the Software comes into force and effect (the “License Agreement”). The License Agreement is concluded in English.
You are entitled to use the Software free of charge for test purposes for an initial period of 30 days (“Test Period”). During this Test Period, You may stop using the Software at any time. Voxvita Corporation is entitled to block or restrict the customer account at any time during the Test Period without giving reasons. Your right to use the Software free of charge ends automatically at the end of the Test Period. We are entitled to delete all data entered into the Software after expiry of the Test Period; it is then no longer possible to restore the data. This does not apply if You enter into a fee-based License Agreement (as defined below) before the end of the Test Period.
The agreement for the paid use of the Software between Us and You is concluded when You, either during or after the lapse of the Test Period make a binding offer to conclude such an agreement on the paid use via our website and the process provided there and we accept your offer by means of a confirmation e-mail. We expressly reserve the right to reject your offer without giving reasons. In addition to the Customer's order data, the confirmation e-mail also contains the invoice and this EULA as (printable) attachments.
Upon successful registration, You will receive a Customer account. To register and authenticate your Customer account, You must enter your e-mail address and a password (“Password” or “Access Data”). If the License Agreement includes further Users (see Clause 2 (1)), this shall apply accordingly to each User.
You are obliged to treat your Password confidentially and to take the necessary care to ensure that third parties do not have access to it. You are expressly prohibited from disclosing your Access Data to any third party. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your Access Data is not used unlawfully by third parties. As soon as You suspect that your access data has been lost, stolen or it appears that your Customer account has been used by third parties, You are obliged to inform Us immediately hereof and to change your Password.
While using the Software as a web application, the User is in general permanently logged in until the User actively log out by means of logout or the corresponding browser cookies are deleted. You are aware that there is a basic risk that third parties can access your user account and all personal data stored therein, provided that the third parties can access the terminal device You have logged in. You are also aware that a logged-in terminal device may exchange data in the background even without its active use, which may use and possibly affect your data volume. We therefore recommend that you actively log out after the end of any use.
2. Service Specification and Rights of Use
The type and scope of the services available to You can be found at any time in the descriptions on our website and in the Software. The essential service component of the software is the creation, administration and maintenance of databases. Among other things, You can create databases, enter and evaluate data, export them to other formats and save them on your terminal device. The right to authorize third parties to use the databases (each person for whom an user account has been created at the invitation of the Customer shall be referred to in this EULA as “User”) as well as the scope of the storage space and the number of databases is limited to the scope selected upon conclusion of the License Agreement. The Customer shall procure that all Users registered via his License Agreement fully comply with the provisions of this EULA. The Customer indemnifies Voxvita Corporation against all damages, claims and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Voxvita Corporation, our employees or bodies due to a violation of this EULA by You or the Users registered via your License Agreement.
Voxvita Corporation is entitled to change the Software and its functionalities. This applies in particular, but not exclusively, if the change is necessary due to
- a necessary adaptation to a new legal situation or jurisdiction,
- changed technical conditions (new browser versions or technical standards),
- the protection of system security, or
- the further development of the software.
If the change of the Software leads to a significant impairment of the Software for the Customer, the Customer is entitled to terminate the License Agreement extraordinarily within 30 (thirty) days after notification by Voxvita Corporation (via the website or e-mail) about the change with a notice period of one month to the end of the month.
For the product Voxvita Corporation Cloud/Private Cloud the following shall apply: The Software is operated as a SaaS or cloud solution. The Customer is enabled to use the Software stored and running on the servers of Voxvita Corporation or a service provider commissioned by Voxvita Corporation via an Internet connection and by means of a browser for his own purposes during the term of this contract. The Software is made available for use at the router exit of the data center in which the server with the Software is located (“Transfer Point”). The Software, the computing power required for use and the required storage and data processing space are provided by Voxvita Corporation. Voxvita Corporation does not owe the establishment and maintenance of the data connection between the IT systems of the Customer and the Delivery Point. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure a sufficient connection to the Internet.
For the product OnPrem the following shall apply: The Customer receives an installation link from Voxvita Corporation for the installation of the Software on the IT system of the Customer. The Customer himself has to ensure that his IT system meets the respective requirements necessary for the use of the Software. The installation of the Software shall be carried out by the Customer. The access by the User takes place on the IT system of the Customer.
Upon conclusion of the License Agreement and successful registration, You shall receive the non-exclusive, unlimited in territory, non-transferable and non sublicensable right to use the Software for the creation, administration and maintenance of databases for your own purposes. The right of use includes the use of the Software (i) on a stand-alone basis and/or (ii) in and as part of a solution that combines the Software with one or more third-party product(s) or service(s) (“Third Party Solutions”). Any uses beyond the foregoing require Our express written consent. This applies in particular to the duplication, distribution, processing or sublicensing of the Software.
Insofar as We also provide the Software free of charge in addition to offers subject to a charge (such as, in particular, within a Test Period), we reserve the right to make unannounced modifications and/or to stop providing any services at any time as well as to provide the services in future only against a separate fee. Furthermore, we do not assume any responsibility for the Software offered free of charge or parts thereof with regard to their completeness and/or correctness, unless the respective faults were caused by intent and gross negligence or have been fraudulently concealed.
We strive to ensure a high availability of the Software at all times. Nevertheless, it may be necessary to temporarily suspend the availability of the Software for maintenance purposes. If possible, we will inform You in good time in advance about maintenance time windows and arrange them in such a way that the impairments in the use of the software are kept to a minimum.
The availability of the Software shall be 99.5% on a monthly average. The calendar month shall be decisive. Excluded from this are times in which the Software cannot be accessed due to technical or other problems which are not within the sphere of influence of Voxvita Corporation (force majeure, fault of third parties, etc.). Also excluded are times due to maintenance work that has been announced with a notice period of at least 48 (forty-eight) hours. Scheduled maintenance work does not take place on weekdays Monday to Friday, between 7 am and 7 pm. The contracting parties agree that the time zone to be observed shall be UTC+5h, namely Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and, in the summer half-year, Eastern Standard Time (EST). However, maintenance work may not affect or interrupt availability for more than 12 (twelve) hours in succession.
Adjustments, changes and additions to the Software, as well as measures that serve to determine and remedy malfunctions, will only lead to temporary interruptions or impairments of the accessibility of the Software if this is absolutely necessary for technical reasons.
The monitoring of the basic functions of the Software is carried out daily. The maintenance of the Software is basically warranted from Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 18:00. In case of serious errors, which lead to the fact that the use of the Software is no longer possible or is seriously limited, the maintenance is carried out within 3 (three) hours from the time of knowledge or information by the Customer about the existence of the error. We will notify You of the maintenance work immediately and perform it according to the technical conditions in the shortest possible time. If it is not possible to correct the error within 12 (twelve) hours, We will notify You by email within 24 (twenty-four) hours, stating the reasons and the estimated time for the correction of the error.
3. Rights and Obligations
You are obligated to provide correct and complete information during registration and to inform Voxvita Corporation immediately of any changes to your registration data. Users are not entitled to make their User account available to a third party or to use the Software for purposes other than intended.
You are solely responsible for the content You create within the Software and are obligated to back up the content on a regular basis. You must ensure that the content does not infringe the rights of third parties. In particular, You are responsible for ensuring that your content complies with the provisions of competition law, labeling law, name law, copyright law and all other applicable and relevant laws. Furthermore, You undertake not to post any content that

The Customer shall indemnify Voxvita Corporation against all claims, costs, expenses, actions or proceedings, including reasonable attorneys' fees, asserted by third parties against Voxvita Corporation (or any of its directors, employees or agents) for use of the Software and/or in connection with a Third Party Solution in violation of law and/or this Agreement, unless the claim in question is based on (i) a defect in the Software or (ii) a breach of Voxvita Corporation's obligations under this EULA or the Customer Agreement. Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing upon becoming aware of any such claim. The parties shall cooperate in the defense of any such claim and shall provide each other with any information reasonably requested by the other party in order to defend and/or settle such claim.
4. Prices / Payment Terms / Credit Assessment
The usage fees to be paid for the use of the Software are stated on our website and/or on our further price lists.
Different payment options are available for the payment of the usage fees. The different payment options will be displayed to You during the ordering process, from which You can choose one. You can change the payment method stored in your Customer account at any time. If our cooperation is required to initiate the payment (e.g. transmission of data to the credit card company), We will only do so after conclusion of the contract. Your payment data will be transmitted to the corresponding payment service provider depending on the payment option You have selected. Further, We refer to our data protection declaration, which is available in printable form on our website at any time via the "Privacy Policy" button.
Payment of the usage fees for the First Subscription Period (see below Clause 5) shall be due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. Usage fees for Further Subscription Periods are due at the beginning of each Further Subscription Period.
Voxvita Corporation is entitled to adjust the usage fees for Further Subscription Periods. Voxvita Corporation will notify the Customer of such an adjustment by e-mail no later than 30 days prior to the beginning of the Further Subscription Period in which the adjusted usage fees apply. In the event of an increase in the usage fees, the Customer is in each case entitled to terminate the contract at the end of the Further Subscription Period running at the time of receipt of the notification of the respective increase. If no notice of termination is given, the respective increased usage fee shall apply.
5. Term and Termination
The term of the License Agreement shall commence upon receipt of the confirmation e-mail at the latest upon activation of the license. The initial term shall be 12 (twelve) months (“First Subscription Period”); in case the Customer makes use of the Test Period, the Fist Subscription Period shall commence with the lapse/termination of the Test Period. Thereafter, the term shall be automatically renewed for further terms of 12 (twelve) months each (“Further Subscription Period(s)”), unless the License Agreement is terminated in advance with a notice period of 30 (thirty) days to the end of the respective Subscription Period.
The termination of the License Agreement, including the Test Period (i.e. the free version) can be made in text form (via e-mail: support@voxvita.com). However, both Voxvita Corporation and the Customer are also entitled to terminate the License Agreement in writing. In the event of termination by the Customer, the receipt of the notice of termination by Voxvita Corporation is decisive for the expiry of the deadline.
The right to extraordinary termination remains unaffected. In particular, We are entitled to terminate the License Agreement with immediate effect if You or a User materially violate the provisions of this EULA.
Upon termination of the License Agreement, all content that was stored by You in the course of using the Software can be irretrievably deleted by Us. You will no longer have access to this content after the termination of the License Agreement.

Voxvita Corporation shall be liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health. Voxvita Corporation is only liable for other damages if these are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by Voxvita Corporation, its legal representatives, employees or vicarious agents.
Voxvita Corporation is only liable for slight negligence if one of the material contractual obligations is violated by Voxvita Corporation, its legal representatives, employees or vicarious agents. Voxvita Corporation shall only be liable for foreseeable damage, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. Material contractual obligations are those obligations which form the basis of the License Agreement, which were decisive for the conclusion of the contract, the fulfilment of which enable the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on the observance of which the Customer may regularly rely. In addition, Voxvita Corporation is liable without limitation for damages covered by liability under mandatory statutory provisions, such as the Product Liability Act, or covered by a guarantee.
Any strict liability for damages for defects that were already present at the time the contract was concluded is excluded. Any right of self-remedy of the Customer in case of defects is excluded.
The above provisions on limitation of liability also apply in favor of the employees, legal representatives and vicarious agents of Voxvita Corporation.
