(2) Payment for a chargeable subscription shall be made bi-monthly, monthly or annually, depending on the duration of the contract offered, by direct debit (SEPA). The billing period shall run one month or one year in advance, starting from the date on which the user registers for the paid version. The service provider reserves the right to introduce the possibility of purchasing subscriptions for different periods (e.g. quarterly) or to introduce related services offering other billing models (e.g. use of a service in one go).
(3) The right to payment of the respective user fees becomes due immediately upon receipt of the invoice and will be deducted from the bank account (in countries where this is available) on a bi-monthly, monthly or annual basis until the subscription contract is terminated.

Upon receipt of payment, access to the system will be reinstated. The cost is €20.00 per rejected charge and will be charged to the user. Any delay in payment will result in late payment penalties at a rate of at least three times the legal interest rate in force in France, and a minimum fixed compensation of 40 (forty) euros for collection costs, due by right, without the need for a reminder.

(9) The service provider has the right to change the agreed prices at its discretion and in a reasonable manner. Such a price change is only permitted once per calendar year and must be announced at least four weeks before it becomes effective in text form. The user may terminate the agreement within one month after receipt of the notice of change, with effect from the time at which the price increase is to take effect.
8. Termination of the contract

The subscription will automatically be extended by one year and the annual amount is due upon receipt of the invoice. The annual subscription can be cancelled until the last day of the annual subscription. The same applies to switching from a monthly or annual subscription to another monthly or annual subscription. If the user switches from an annual subscription to a monthly subscription, this is possible until the last day of the financial year and from the first day of the next financial year, if there is an option for a monthly subscription. The subscription will then continue to operate automatically on a monthly basis. A similar mechanism will be valid if the service provider introduces a different billing period.
(4) The right to extraordinary termination of either party remains unaffected.
(5) EXPEDY reserves the right to delete the customer’s data after termination of the contract, regardless of the reason for termination, and EXPEDY is not obliged to store the customer’s data after this date. EXPEDY only retains the data required for the minimum period to comply with applicable legal requirements after termination of the subscription.
(6) EXPEDY shall ensure that it always acts in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and all legislative requirements on data protection.

(2) EXPEDY has the right to make operational changes to the System for improvements or otherwise (for example by developing or replacing technical equipment, maintenance or upgrade software) without notice to the Customer. In certain circumstances it may be necessary to suspend access to the console interface, usually between 21:00 and 06:00 Central European Time.

(3) The service provider assumes no responsibility for the functionality of the connection to its servers in the event of a power failure and failure of servers outside its area of influence.
(4) In the event of a server outage, EXPEDY guarantees to have the servers back up and running within four hours, subject to the responsiveness and problem caused by the hosting provider.
(5) EXPEDY undertakes to provide all the human and technical resources necessary for the performance of these general conditions. EXPEDY undertakes in particular to inform the client to the best of its knowledge of the risks inherent in the requested intervention. Insofar as the proper functioning of new equipment, software or the result of an IT service depends not only on the quality of the hardware and software installed and the services provided, but also on factors independent of EXPEDY, such as the original installation, working methods and the qualifications of the user, EXPEDY is only responsible for an obligation of means and not of result.
(6) EXPEDY shall not be liable for any direct or indirect consequences of the malfunctioning or non-functioning of the client’s equipment, including any loss of data, non-conformity, incompatibility, malfunction or degradation, whether or not resulting from its intervention. Under no circumstances, and whatever the service requested, EXPEDY cannot be held responsible for damage to the equipment and/or total or partial loss of the client’s computer data, whatever the reason.
(7) EXPEDY shall not be liable for any consequential damages such as, but not limited to, loss of business, loss of customers, loss of orders, or loss of brand image.

(2) To ensure audit-proof data processing, the creation, modification and deletion of data with indication of the user name and the date of processing are recorded.
(3) The use of the service may require the service provider to process personal data on behalf of the user. A separate agreement for the processing of personal data is required for this. The parties agree that the customer is responsible for the processing of the data he/she uploads to the EXPEDY application and that he/she can modify or delete this data as required. EXPEDY is at all times a subcontractor, processing the data on behalf of the Customer.
(4) The Customer confirms that he/she is authorised to request EXPEDY to process this information, and that any instructions given will be legal.

(10) EXPEDY shall take all necessary technical and organisational security measures to ensure the safe and secure handling of the Customer’s data and to prevent the information in the system from being accidentally or unlawfully destroyed, lost or wasted and to prevent such information from falling into the hands of unauthorised parties or from being misused, or otherwise dealt with in a manner which is contrary to data protection legislation. EXPEDY complies with its obligations under all applicable data protection legislation as a data processor and takes specific guidance from the General Data Protection Regulation.
(11) In the event that data protection consent statements are obtained from the user in the course of using the service provider’s services, it is hereby clarified that these can be revoked by the user at any time.
12. Changes to the services
(1) The Service Provider shall periodically adjust its services provided on the Internet at its sole discretion, based on technological development and market needs, in order to adapt the intended use according to the product description. This may include changes to the content of the service, such as new or modified features, and adaptations to new technologies. Since these changes are in the nature of the solution, the user cannot derive any rights or claims from them.
(2) The service provider is also entitled to offer new services against payment and to discontinue the provision of free services. In addition, the Service Provider may add additional chargeable services to existing chargeable subscriptions. When modifying paid services, the service provider shall pay particular attention to the legitimate interests of the users and announce them in good time.

(3) With regard to free services, the service provider shall not be liable beyond what is provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2.

(5) EXPEDY is not responsible for the information published on its services. The sender is responsible for its accuracy, completeness and timeliness.
(6) The service provider is not liable for the loss of data to the extent that the damage is due to the user’s failure to meet its legal retention obligations (see section 4.4 of these Terms and Conditions) and therefore the lost data cannot be restored with a reasonable effort.
(7) EXPEDY shall not be liable for any damage that the customer may suffer due to the lack of security measures in the transmission of data.
(8) Any liability for damages is limited to the amount of the annual fee. Liability for damages due to loss of data is limited to the amount that would have resulted from adequate data protection, however, this may not exceed the annual fee.
(9) Any claim for compensation by the customer expires one year after its occurrence. This limitation does not apply if EXPEDY has acted with gross negligence or intent.
(10) Liability for defective products remains unaffected.
14. Changes to the General Terms and Conditions
(1) The Service Provider reserves the right to change these General Terms and Conditions at any time with effect even within the existing contractual relationship, provided that such a change, taking into account the interests of the Service Provider, is reasonable for the user; this is particularly the case when the change is without significant legal or economic disadvantage for the user, e.g. changes in the registration process or changes in the contact information.
(2) All other changes to the General Terms and Conditions shall be notified by the service provider to the registered users at least 4 weeks before the planned entry into force of the changes. The changes will be communicated to the user by e-mail. Unless the user objects within 4 weeks of receipt of the notification, the user contract shall continue and be effective even with the amended General Terms and Conditions. In the notification of the change, the Service Provider shall inform the user of his right to object and the consequences of an objection. In the event of an objection, the Service Provider shall be entitled to terminate the contractual relationship with the user upon the planned entry into force of the changes.

(2) If the user is a merchant, a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law, the registered office of the service provider shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship.
(3) If individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions are or become ineffective, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
Acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale
The fact that the Customer uses the online interface or connects to the web service provided by the Service Provider implies full acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, which is expressly recognised by the Customer, who waives, in particular, the right to rely on any contradictory document, which would be unenforceable against the Service Provider.
