(5) edudip is entitled to amend and/or supplement these T&Cs with a reasonable notice period. The Customer shall be notified of the change by email. If the Customer does not object to the T&Cs within 2 weeks of receipt of the email sent to the Customer, the new T&Cs shall become effective.

§ 2 Object of the contract

(1) The object of this contract is the provision of the software application edudip (hereinafter: APPLICATION) for the use of its functionalities and the granting or procurement of rights of use to the APPLICATION, as well as the provision of storage space for the data uploaded by the Customer (hereinafter: APPLICATION DATA) to the agreed extent. The APPLICATION DATA includes in particular and at the request of the Customer the PowerPoint presentations, participant lists and other teaching materials used by the Customer. Participants are those users of the APPLICATION who take advantage of an offer from the Customer, in particular an offer to participate in a webinar.

(2) edudip offers various service packages subject to a fee. When booking a service package subject to a fee, the agreed scope of the rights granted to the application and the storage capacities are based on the service description in the selected service package. The parties are free to conclude agreements that go beyond the available subscriptions. Such agreements must be concluded in writing.

(3) edudip offers the Customer an “edudip Webinar Interface (API)” as part of the next-500 and next-1000 subscription. An Application Programming Interface (hereinafter: API) enables the Customer to integrate the webinar software into their website, their Content Management System or Learning Management System or any other application of the Customer. The API can only ever be used in conjunction with the APPLICATION. A current performance description of the API can be found at https://github.com/edudip/edudip-next-api

(4) The Customer has the option of having the webinar room adapted from the version next 500 (minimum duration of 12 months). If an adaptation is desired, the Customer must contact edudip via the email address sales@edudip.com in this regard, to initiate the process. As a result, the Customer will receive a document describing what is required from the Customer. The lead time for the implementation of this adaptation can be up to 6 weeks.

§ 3 Permission to register

(1) Use of the contractual services requires the registration of the Customer. edudip is entitled to reject registrations without citing reasons for doing so.

(2) Registration is only permitted if the Customer is of full age and has unlimited legal capacity. Minors are not permitted to register. In the case of a legal person, registration must be performed by a natural person with unlimited legal capacity and representation authority.

§ 4 Registration and booking

(1) The Customer must fill out the registration form completely and correctly. No nicknames, false information, abbreviations or aliases are permitted. The Customer must provide true, accurate, current and complete information about themselves (hereinafter referred to as “registration data”). The registration data must be updated by the Customer as required and any changes must be implemented immediately. Once registration is complete, edudip will send the Customer a confirmation email. When the Customer sends the registration form by clicking the “Test Now” button, the Customer submits an offer to conclude a user agreement with edudip.

(2) Upon successful registration, a profile is created for the Customer, which they can access with the user name and password stored during registration. The Customer must keep the user name and password confidential and ensure that these are not made accessible to third parties. The Customer is obligated to notify edudip immediately of any suspicion of misuse, or suspected disclosure of these access data. The Customer shall be liable for any use and/or other activity carried out using their access data in accordance with the statutory provisions. edudip does not verify the identity of the profile owners and the information in the profiles. edudip therefore does not warrant that each profile owner is the person that the respective profile owner claims to be.

(3) After successful registration, edudip offers the Customer various services subject to a fee. These general terms and conditions shall also form the contractual basis of these fee-based services. Prior to the conclusion of a fee-based contractual relationship, the Customer shall be informed about the content of the respective fee-based service, the prices, the number of participants included and further offer contents. By clicking the “Buy Now” button, the Customer makes a binding declaration that they wish to conclude a contract for the fee-based services they have selected. edudip is entitled to refuse to accept the booking – for example, after checking the Customer’s creditworthiness.

(4) When booking a service package against payment, the Customer must truthfully state their value added tax identification number (VAT ID) in accordance with the provisions of the VAT Act, if applicable. In the event that the Customer does not have a VAT ID, they must send a business registration to edudip using the contact option provided. The Customer can fax this to edudip. In the event that the Customer sends the business registration by email, the business registration must be sent in a pdf/a file format. If the Customer neither provides a VAT ID nor sends a business registration in pfd/a file format, a contract for a service package against payment does not come into effect.

(5) edudip is entitled to delete the Customer’s online presence and to block the Customer in the event that the Customer has provided untrue, inaccurate or incomplete registration data that may lead to incorrect individualisation of the Customer. This shall also apply in the event that there is reasonable doubt as to the correctness of the VAT identification number provided by the Customer.

(6) Depending on the scope of the selected subscription, the Customer can add further moderators to the team administration, insofar as this is included in the subscription. For each moderator added, a further subscription identical to the subscription booked by the Customer must be added, i.e. if the Customer books a Next 100 subscription, they must book a Next 100 subscription for each moderator added and so on.

(7) The Customer can order an upgrade to the booked subscription at any time. Upon confirmation of the booking by edudip, the original subscription is upgraded. The Customer is not required to re-register. The Customer’s account remains valid. The Customer has no claim to the conclusion of an upgraded subscription. edudip may reject the Customer’s application to conclude an upgrade without citing reasons for doing so.

(8) The individual contractual agreements between the parties shall take precedence over the provisions of the T&Cs. In case of ambiguities or contradictions between the individual agreements, the following hierarchical order of precedence shall apply: 1. Individual contract, 2. Annexes to the individual contract, 3. T&Cs.

A specific provision takes precedence over a general provision.

If an individual contract is to deviate from the provisions of these T&Cs, this must be expressly agreed in the respective individual contract with regard to the respective deviation and the provision of the T&Cs from which deviation is to be made must be expressly stated. The same applies to deviating provisions in the annexes to an individual contract with regard to the provisions of the respective individual contract. As far as the individual contract does not contain any agreements on a subject matter, the respective provisions of the T&Cs shall always apply.

§ 5 Provision of APPLICATION and APPLICATION DATA and availability of the API

If and to the extent that the provision of a new version or a change is accompanied by a change of functionalities of the APPLICATION, workflows of the Customer supported by the APPLICATION and/or restrictions in the usability of previously generated data, edudip shall notify the Customer of this in writing with a reasonable period of notice before such a change takes effect. If the Customer does not object to the change in writing within a period of two weeks from receipt of the notification of change, the change shall become an integral part of the contract. edudip shall draw the Customer’s attention to the aforementioned period and the legal consequences of its expiration in the event that the Customer does not exercise their right to object.

(7) The availability of the API is subject to the availability of APPLICATION and APPLICATION DATA. If the availability of the APPLICATION ends, the availability of the API also ends.

(8) edudip reserves the right to extend the functionality of the API at any time, in particular if changes in the APPLICATION make it necessary to adapt the API.

(3) The Customer uses the APPLICATION only for the number of subscribers specified in the concluded subscription.

An exception applies to affiliated companies of the Customer per §§ 15 et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act.

(7) Source codes are not subject of this agreement. No rights to these are transferred to the Customer. Insofar as source programs (source codes) are created on APPLICATION DATA created by means of the APPLICATION that are based on HTML code and are therefore to be qualified as computer programs, the transfer of these source codes and the machine-readable codes to third parties requires the prior consent of edudip.

(8) Unless additional prior written consent has been obtained from edudip, and insofar as the aforementioned provisions do not conflict with this, the Customer is not entitled in particular to

  • resell the APPLICATION or the API,

(9) If the Customer violates the provisions in sections 1 to 5 inclusive for reasons for which the Customer is responsible, edudip may, after serving the Customer with prior written notification, block the Customer’s access to the APPLICATION, the API and/or the APPLICATION DATA if the violation can be proven to have been remedied through this action.

(12) In the event that the Customer

  • culpably breaches their obligation under section 2 and/or 3, or

The Customer is responsible for the personal data of their further moderators added and/or the participants processed by the Customer in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If the Customer stores or processes personal data on edudip’s systems, in particular within the scope of the APPLICATION DATA, the Customer must secure such data in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The parties therefore conclude the contract processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR https://av.edudip.com/. To do so, the Customer must click on the sub-item “Settings” in their profile and then go to “GDPR: Contract for order processing” in their profile and conclude the contract there. In the event of contradictions between this contract and the agreement on contract data processing, the latter shall take precedence over the former.

edudip is obliged to make regular data backups to the extent required in accordance with § 5 section 4. In addition, edudip must meet the technical and organisational requirements in accordance with

Art.32 of the GDPR. In particular, edudip must protect the systems subject to its access against unauthorised admittance, storage, modification and other unauthorised access or attacks of any kind by employees or other third parties. For this purpose, edudip shall take the necessary measures in accordance with the state of the art and to the extent required, in particular to protect against viruses and other harmful programs or program routines, and also other measures to protect its equipment, in particular to protect against intrusion. If systems not subject to its access are used, edudip shall impose corresponding obligations on its contractual partners and regularly monitor compliance with these obligations.

The processing of personal data of beneficiaries takes place exclusively on the territory of a Member State of the European Union or in another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Data processing in other countries may only be carried out if the conditions of Art. 44 to 47 GDPR are fulfilled or an exception under Art. 49 GDPR exists

§ 13 Confidentiality

(1) Confidential information is information expressly designated as confidential by edudip and information whose confidentiality is clearly evident from the circumstances of relinquishment. Information is not deemed to be confidential, if the Customer proves that this information

  • was known to the Customer or generally accessible to the Customer before the date of receipt

(2) In the event of minor negligence, edudip shall be liable without limitation in the event of injury to life, body or health.

(3) Otherwise, edudip shall only be liable to the extent that it has breached a material contractual obligation. Material contractual obligations are those obligations which are of particular importance for the achievement of the contractual purpose, as well as all those obligations which, in the event of a culpable breach, may lead to the achievement of the contractual purpose being jeopardised. In these cases, liability is limited to compensation for foreseeable, typically occurring damages. The liability without fault of edudip for damages (§ 536a German Civil Code) for defects existing at the time of conclusion of the contract is excluded; sections 1 and 2 of this alternative remain unaffected. If compensation for so-called pure financial losses comes into question, such compensation shall be limited to the net amount of the turnover with the Customer in the last 12 months.

(4) Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

§ 15 Term, termination

(1) The term of the contract is determined by the subscription concluded.

In this case, edudip may in addition claim lump-sum compensation due immediately in a single sum payment amounting to one quarter of the basic monthly lump-sum remaining until the end of the regular term of the contract. The Customer reserves the right to prove that the damage incurred is less.

§ 16 Force majeure

Neither party is obliged to fulfil their contractual obligations in the event of and for the duration of force majeure. In particular, the following circumstances are considered force majeure in this regard:

  • Events, whereby the contractual partner is not responsible, of fire/explosion/flooding,
  • war, mutiny, blockade, embargo,
  • industrial action lasting over 6 weeks and not culpably brought about by the contractual partner,
  • technical problems of the internet that cannot be influenced by a contractual partner.
