Dated August 2013

All contracts about deliveries and services of Omix Visualization GmbH & Co KG are based on these General Terms & Conditions of Sales. By ordering, you acknowledge your awareness of these General Terms & Conditions of Sales and declare that you accept them. Differing and/or additional agreements strictly require a written permission of Omix Visualization GmbH & Co KG.

A. Conclusion and Execution of Contract

We grant to you the right to use the software for a period of one (1) year against payment. The amount of the license fee depends on the software edition effectively licensed by you. For special discounts of the Academic or Educational Edition, please apply to Omix Visualization GmbH & Co KG.

Enterprise Edition: You use the software as private-law company, as freelancer or for other commercial, professional or economic activities.

Academic Edition: You use the software as public-law educational and/or research organization exclusively for non-commercial purpose in science and education.

Educational Edition: For students enrolled at an educational institution (school, college, university) and using the software for educational purposes, we grant a student discount.

The differentiation in Enterprise, Academic and Educational Edition also applies to the optional plug-ins. The type of license edition must be consistent between Omix and the installed plug-ins. For example, you can only use Enterprise Edition licensed plug-ins within Omix Enterprise Edition. The same applies for Academic Edition and Educational Edition.

Conclusion of the contract assumes acceptance of the Omix End User License Agreement (EULA) (available at http://www.omix-visualization.com/eula) and providing your personal data. Omix Visualization GmbH & Co KG will protect the data collected in this process in accordance with the German Data Protection Act. These data are not transmitted by us for advertising or promotional purposes.

After your order, the contract comes into force by our confirmation of acceptance within five (5) days, or alternatively, by providing the contractually agreed services as download by us. As long as not specified otherwise in our online shop or the order process, you can download the software directly after conclusion of the contract and payment. After Installation, you activate the software on the target computer and – after receipt of full payment – you receive a hardware dependent license key. The data sent during this activation step contains information as follows: username, password, software version, language code and a hash of the hardware signature of your target computer system. The communication between the software and the license server of Omix Visualization GmbH & Co KG is protected according to current standards.

Contract customers have access to new program versions and update during the complete license period free of charge. Such updates are provided as downloads.

Contracts without automatic renewal automatically end after expiration of the license period. Contracts with automatic renewal (subscriptions) can be canceled without giving any reason within a minimum of 14 calendar days (cancelation deadline) before end date of the current license period which can be found in your confirmation of order acceptance. Otherwise, the contract is automatically extended by one year. Cancelation comes into effect on the end date of the license period.

The corresponding software license fee will be invoiced at the beginning of the next license period (contract year). If not specified otherwise, the renewal invoice will be based on the list prices valid on the date of cancelation deadline. At any time Omix Visualization GmbH & Co KG is entitled to terminate the contract with immediate effect for important reason. One important reason in particular occurs if you are in default of payment. In this case, Omix Visualization GmbH & Co KG will refund proportionally to you the already paid amount to you.

B. Revocation

Information about Rights of Revocation (for provision of services)

Right of Revocation

You may revoke your declaration of contract within 14 days without stating any reasons in writing (e.g. letter, fax, email). The period starts on the day on which you have received the notification of your right of revocation in writing, however, not before conclusion of the contract, and not before we have fulfilled our obligations to provide information as defined in Article 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 (1) and (2) of the Introductory Act to the Civil Code ("EGBGB") as well as our duties under § 312g (1) sentence 1 of the German Civil Code ("BGB") in conjunction with Article 246 § 3 EGBGB. The timely dispatch of the revocation shall be deemed sufficient for compliance with the revocation term. The revocation is to be sent to: Omix Visualization GmbH & Co. KG, Uferstrasse 27, 57368 Lennestadt, Germany.

Consequences of the Revocation

In the event of an effective revocation the mutually received benefits are to be returned and if so derived profits (e.g. interest) are to be returned. If you cannot restore the received services to us at all or only in parts or in a deteriorated condition, you may have to compensate us for the value accordingly. This may result in you nevertheless having to satisfy the contractual payment obligations for the period up until revocation. You must satisfy obligations to reimburse payments within 30 days; for you, this period begins upon dispatching of your declaration of revocation and for us upon receipt thereof.

Special Notes

Your right of revocation shall expire prematurely if the agreement, at your express request, has been executed in full by both parties prior to your exercising your right of revocation.

End of the Information about Rights of Revocation

The right of revocation according to § 312 paragraph 4 No. 1 of the German Civil Code ("BGB") does not apply to distance contracts for the supply of goods which are unsuitable for a return shipment due to their nature (software provided for download, online software activation). The right of revocation will not apply, if you are entrepreneur in the meaning of § 14 BGB and act at conclusion of the contract in your commercial or self-employment activity.

C. Payment

As long as not specified otherwise, invoices of Omix Visualization GmbH & Co. KG are due and payable immediately without any deductions. Without further reminder, 30 days after receipt and due date of the invoice, you are in default with the payment due if we have pointed it out in the invoice. However, we can put you in default by sending a reminder earlier. The default interest for consumers is 5% and for entrepreneurs 8% over the base rate of Deutsche Bank provided we are not entitled for any other reason to higher interest rates. If full payment is received within 14 calendar days after receipt and due date, the license period begins with the day on which we receive full payment, otherwise, the license period begins with the invoice date. Checks will only be accepted on a conditional basis and are only valid after clearing as payment. Any bank charges will be charged to you. Only claims which are undisputed or legally binding may be offset. You can only assert the right to reserve payments if it is based on the same contractual relationship.
