GENERAL | SCOPE
1. These Service Terms (“Terms”) apply to all contracts between Global Climate Changer GmbH, Blumenstraße 43, 10243 Berlin, Germany (“Global Changer”) and its customers who are business owners (Unternehmer) within the meaning of § 14 of the German Civil Code (“Customers”) to whom Global Changer provides access to its Services.
2. These Terms shall govern each ordering document or any online, e-mail or in-app ordering process that references these Terms (each an “Order”). The terms of each Order shall incorporate these Terms and shall form a separate services contract with respect to the Services (as defined below) under that Order (a “Services Contract”).
3. These Terms shall also apply as a framework agreement for future contracts with Customer without Global Changer being required to refer to them in each individual case. These Terms shall be deemed to be confirmed by Customer at the latest when Global Changer provides the Services.
4. These Terms shall apply to the exclusion of all others. Different, conflicting or supplementary standard terms of business of Customer shall only become part of the Services Contract if and to the extent that Global Changer has consented to their application in writing.
5. Individual agreements made in writing with Customer in specific cases (including ancillary agreements, supplementary agreements and amendments) shall take priority over these Terms.
6. Where these Terms mention the terms ‘written’, ‘in writing’, ‘written form’ or similar, this shall refer to ‘in writing’ in the sense of § 126 German Civil Code. The electronic exchange of copies of documents signed by hand as well as documents signed with a simple electronic signature (such as provided by e.g. DocuSign or Adobe Sign) shall be sufficient. Un-less expressly stated otherwise in these Terms, simple emails shall not be sufficient..
7. Any notices and declarations submitted by Customer to Global Changer, including but not limited to notices of termination or setting of deadlines, shall be made at least in text form within the meaning of § 126b of the German Civil Code to be valid (for greater clarity: simple email to be sufficient) if not stated otherwise in these Terms.
8. References herein to the application of statutory provisions shall be for clarification purposes only. Consequently, statutory provisions shall apply even without such clarification provided that they are not directly amended by or expressly excluded in these Terms.

8. If Global Changer is temporarily unable to perform any agreed services for reasons of force majeure, the respective delivery dates shall be postponed by a period corresponding to the duration of the impediment to performance plus a reasonable start-up period.

LIMITED WARRANTY
1. Customer has checked that the specification of the Services as described in the Documentation meets his needs and wishes. Customer is aware of the essential functionalities and features of the Services. The extent, nature and quality of the goods and services to be delivered by Global Changer are determined by these Terms, the Order, and the Documentation. Any other information or requirements do only form part of the Services Contract if Customer and Global Changer so agree in writing or if Global Changer so confirms in writing. Product descriptions, illustrations, test programs, etc. represent mere service specifications but do not constitute guarantees (Garantien) or agreements on certain specifications (Beschaffenheitsvereinbarungen). In order to be valid, an agreement on a guarantee requires the written confirmation from a director of Global Changer.
2. Global Changer warrants (gewährleistet) that the Services will, in all material respects, conform to the functionality described in then-current Documentation for the applicable Services version. In case of a breach of this warranty Global Changer shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to modify the Services to conform in all material respects to the Documentation, and if Global Changer is unable to materially restore such functionality within thirty (30) days from the date of written notice of said breach, Customer shall be entitled to terminate the Services Contract upon written notice and receive a pro-rata refund of the unused Services Fees which have been paid in advance (if any) for unused access to the Services. Customer must notify Global Changer in writing of any warranty breaches and Customer must have installed and configured the Services in accordance with the Documentation to be eligible for the foregoing remedy. Any no-fault liability (verschuldensunabhängige Haftung) of Global Changer for the existence of initial errors (anfängliche Mängel) under § 536a German Civil Code shall be excluded. Customer’s claims for damages for a breach of this warranty are subject to the limitations set forth in Clause 16.
3. Customer agrees and acknowledges that, in order to perform the Services, Global Changer relies on information, documents and other material provided to Global Changer by or on behalf of Customer. As a consequence, Without prejudice to Clauses 16.1 and 16.2, Global Changer shall not be responsible for (a) the correctness, completeness, integrity and accuracy of any such information, documents and other material; (b) any conclusion drawn by Customer or any third party from any statement given by Global Changer based on such information, documents and other material; (c) the technical, scientific, legal and commercial feasibility of any project, product and undertaking of or business transaction pursued by Customer or any third party; and (d) the economic and financial viability of any project, product and undertaking of or business transaction pursued by Customer or any third party.
4. Under no circumstances shall Customer be entitled to obtain the source code of the Services.
INDEMNITY
1. Without prejudice to any other liability of Customer under contract or statutory law, Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless, at its expense, Global Changer and its Affiliates, its suppliers and resellers against any third party claim to the extent such claim arises from or is made in connection with Customer’s breach of Clause 3 or otherwise from Customer’s use of Services, and Customer shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded against Global Changer by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such claim. “Affiliate” means any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under direct or indirect common control with Global Changer respectively, or which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Changer respectively, whereby ‘control’ means owning, directly or indirectly, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the equity securities or equity interests of an entity
2. In connection with any claim for indemnity under this Clause 15, Global Changer must promptly provide Customer with notice of any claim that Global Changer believes is within the scope of the obligation to indemnify, provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve Customer of its obligations under this Clause 15, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices Customer’s defense of such claim. Global Changer may, at its own expense, assist in the defense if it so chooses, but Customer shall control the defense and all negotiations related to the settlement of any such claim. Any such settlement intended to bind Global Changer shall not be final without Global Changer’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
3. Global Changer agrees at its expense to defend Customer against (or, at Global Changer’s option, settle) any third-party claim to the extent such claim alleges that the Services infringe or misappropriate any patent, copyright, trademark, other intellectual property rights or trade secret of a third party, and Global Changer shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such claim. In the event that the use of the Services is, or in Global Changer’s sole opinion is likely to become, subject to such a claim, Global Changer, at its option and expense, may (A) replace the applicable Services with functionally equivalent non-infringing technology; (B) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of the applicable Service; or (C) immediately terminate the Services Contract in whole or in part and provide a pro-rata refund of the Service Fees that have been paid in advance for the applicable Services (beginning on the date of termination). The foregoing indemnity obligation of Global Changer shall not apply: (i) if the Services are modified by Customer or any User; (ii) if the Services are combined with other non-Global Changer products, applications, or processes, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; or (iii) to any unauthorized use of the Services. The foregoing shall be Customer’s sole remedy with respect to any claim of infringement of third party intellectual property rights and trade secrets.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
1. Global Changer shall be unrestrictedly liable for (A) injury to life, body or health caused by Global Changer, its legal representatives (gesetzliche Vertreter) or assistants in performance (Erfüllungsgehilfen); (B) damage caused intentionally (vorsätzlich) or with gross negligence (grob fahrlässig) by Global Changer, its legal representatives or executive staff; (C) damage caused intentionally by Global Changer’s assistants in performance not mentioned in (B); (D) damage resulting from the absence of any guaranteed (garantiert) characteristics; and (E) claims under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).
2. Global Changer shall be liable for damage resulting from the breach of its primary obligations (Kardinalpflichten) hereunder by Global Changer, its legal representatives, senior executives or assistants in performance. Primary obligations are such basic duties which form the essence of the Services Contract, which were decisive for the conclusion of the Services Contract and on the performance of which Customer may rely. If the breach of such primary obligation was caused (A) through simple negligence by Global Changer, its legal representatives or executive staff; or (B) through simple or gross negligence by Global Changer’s assistants in performance not mentioned in (A), then Global Changer’s ensuing liability shall be limited to the amount which was foreseeable by Global Changer at the time the respective Service was performed.
3. Subject always to Clauses 16.1 and 16.2, Global Changer shall not be liable for damage resulting from the breach of non-primary obligations through (A) simple negligence of Global Changer, its legal representatives or executive staff; or (B) simple or gross negligence of Global Changer’s assistants in performance not mentioned in (A).
4. Global Changer shall not be liable for any loss, damage or harm suffered by Customer that is directly or indirectly caused by Customer’s unauthorized use of the Services to process Prohibited Data.
5. Global Changer shall be liable for loss of data only up to the amount of typical recovery costs which would have arisen had proper and regular data backup measures been taken by Customer.
6. Subject always to Clause 16.1, the total liability of Global Changer arising out of or in connection with the Services Contract, whether in contract or tort or otherwise shall in no circumstances exceed a sum equal to 150% of the total Service Fees paid (plus Service Fees payable) by Customer in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event which gave rise to the liability.
7. Any other liability of Global Changer not covered by this Clause 16is excluded on the merits.
IT SECURITY
1. Customer shall ensure that User identities, passwords, and equivalent obtained by Customer in conjunction with registration for the Services are stored and used in a secure manner and cannot be accessed and thereby used by third parties. Customer shall be liable for any unauthorized use of the Services.
2. Where it is suspected that any unauthorized person has become aware of a User identity and/or password, Customer shall immediately inform Global Changer thereof and also change such User identity and/or password.
3. Customer shall be liable for losses or damage incurred by Global Changer where Customer intentionally or negligently reveals a user identity/password to a third party or where a user identity and password otherwise become known to an unauthorized party, unless Customer notifies Global Changer immediately upon suspicion that such event has occurred.
4. Global Changer shall adopt reasonable measures to ensure that the security of the Services meet relevant industry standards. Global Changer’s security measures are set forth in the Global Changer Security Policy, which is available upon request.
NO SET-OFF | LIMITATION OF RIGHT OF RETENTION

Customer may only invoke a right to set-off and assert a right of retention to the extent that its claims have been (A) finally established by a court of law; (B) are uncontested; or (C) have been acknowledged by Global Changer.

ASSIGNMENT | NOVATION
1. Customer may not assign (übertragen) the Services Contract without the prior written approval of Global Changer and any purported assignment in breach of this Clause 19shall be void. Global Changer may at its discretion assign, or transfer to third parties the Services Contract and/or any associated rights in whole or in part.
2. Customer shall, at Global Changer’s request, promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) days, enter into a novation agreement in such form as Global Changer shall reasonably specify in order to enable Global Changer to exercise its rights pursuant to this Clause 19.
SEVERANCE

Should any provision of the Services Contract including the Order and these Terms be or become ineffective or invalid in whole or in part, the effectiveness and validity of the other provisions shall not be affected. Such ineffective or invalid provision shall be replaced by a provision which comes as close as legally possible to what the Parties would have agreed, pursuant to the meaning and purpose of the original provision and of the Services Contract if they had recognized the ineffectiveness or invalidity of the original provision. If the ineffectiveness or invalidity of a provision is based on the determination of a certain level of performance or a certain time (deadline or fixed date), such ineffective or invalid level or time shall be replaced by the level or time which comes as close as legally possible to the original level or time. The foregoing shall also apply to any possible omission in the Services Contract including the Order and these Terms that was not intended by the Parties. It is the express intention of the Parties that this savings clause does not just have the effect of shifting the burden of proof but that § 139 German Civil Code is entirely dispensed with.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT | CHANGES
1. The Services Contract including the Order and these Terms represent the entire agreement between Customer and Global Changer in respect of its subject matter and supersede and extinguish all prior negotiations, arrangements, understanding, course of dealings or agreements made between the Parties in relation to its subject matter, whether written or oral.
2. Valid amendments or supplements to these Terms must be made in writing. The same shall apply to any agreement to deviate from or cancel this requirement of written form.
3. Global Changer may amend and/or update these Terms with future effect from time to time and as necessary for technical, economic or legal reasons provided that this would neither constitute a change affecting the basis of the legal relationship between the Parties nor is equivalent to the conclusion of a new contract. Any revision of these Terms shall be announced to Customer in text form (simple email to be sufficient) no later than six (6) weeks before their proposed effective date. Customer may either approve or object to the revision before their proposed effective date. The revision shall be deemed approved by Customer, unless Customer objects to the revision before their proposed effective date. Global Changer shall expressly inform Customer thereof in the respective announcement.
GOVERNING LAW | JURISDICTION
1. The Services Contract and any issues, disputes or claims (whether contractual or non-contractual) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply.
2. The courts of Berlin (Germany) shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (whether contractual or non-contractual) that arises out of or in connection with the Services Contract or its subject matter or formation.
MISCELLANEOUS
1. The person signing or otherwise accepting the Order and these Terms for Customer represents that it is duly authorized by all necessary and appropriate corporate action to enter the Services Contract on behalf of Customer.
2. Global Changer shall be entitled to retain subcontractors, including third party software suppliers, for the performance of any of its obligations in accordance with the Services Contract.
3. Customer shall not assign (abtreten) any of its rights or obligations under the Services Contract and these Terms without the prior written consent of Global Changer.
4. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of the Services Contract and Customer does not have any authority of any kind to bind Global Changer in any respect whatsoever.
