The provision of instructions for use, with which the Customer can reasonably work around defects that have occurred in order to use the Platform in accordance with the Agreement, is also deemed to be a subsequent rectification.

8.4
The duty of secrecy does not apply if the Confidential Information was already known to the Customer before disclosure by MultAI, is generally known or becomes known without fault of the Customer, was developed by the Customer themselves without access to the Confidential Information by MultAI or is brought to the attention of the third party by a bona fide third party who is entitled to do so. The mandatory legal obligations to provide information remain reserved. If the Customer invokes one or more of the aforementioned reasons, they must prove this by presenting suitable evidence.
8.5
The duty of secrecy begins with the knowledge of the Confidential Information and continues for the entire term of this Agreement and beyond that for five years from termination or the end of the Agreement term, unless legal regulations provide for a longer duty of secrecy. The Customer guarantees, within the scope of what is legally possible, that the duties of secrecy are also binding for his successors in title, assignees and affiliated companies.

Notwithstanding the above provisions MultAI is entitled to designate the Customer as a reference Customer by mentioning the full business name and using the logo of the business name in marketing materials (including websites).
8.8

9.4
MultAI reserves the right to suspend, restrain or discontinue individual features of the Platform for reasons other than those according to Section 2.12 under the conditions of Section 10.1 .

The contents of the terms and conditions applicable between the Customer and MultAI can be amended as described below: MultAI will send the changed terms and conditions in text form before the planned entry into force and will point out the new regulations and the date of the planned entry into force separately. At the same time MultAI will give the Customer a reasonable period of at least two months to declare whether it accepts the changed terms and conditions for further use of the Service.

10.2

The Customer is solely responsible for any input their employees or other associated users of the Platform under the Agreement with the Customer (“End-Users”) enter into the Platform (“Input”). The Customer guarantees and acknowledges that it shall bear the sole responsibility for that any Input or other use of the Platform by End-Users will adhere to all applicable legal regulations, including but not limited to personality rights, copyright and applicable data protection laws as well as any obligations under the EU AI Act.
    7. The Customer acknowledges that the AI Providers are solely responsible for any output End-Users generate through their Input (“Output”). The Customer acknowledges that MultAI has no responsibility for any Output and the question whether such Output will adhere to any applicable legal regulations, including but not limited to personality rights, copyright and applicable data protection laws as well as any obligations under the EU AI Act.
    8. The Customer ensures that End-Users will adhere to all transparency obligations under the EU AI Act including but not limited to the obligation to disclose where Output constitutes a so-called deep fake according to Art. 50 (4) of the EU AI Act.
    9. The Customer indemnifies MultAI against all claims of third parties which these assert against MultAI in connection with the Customer’s use of the Platform. MultAI will inform the Customer without undue delay of any claims asserted by third parties and provide the information and documents necessary for defence on request. In addition, MultAI will either let the Customer defend themselves or will do so in consultation with the Customer. In particular, MultAI will neither acknowledge nor put claims asserted by third parties beyond dispute without consultation with the Customer. The provisions of this clause apply accordingly to contractual penalties as well as punitive fines and administrative fines imposed by court or official authorities, insofar as the Customer is responsible for them.
    10. The Customer is obliged to ensure – within the limits of what is reasonably possible – that their normal business operations continue properly, even if the Platform should not be available, regardless of whether this is due to a fault of MultAI or the Customer.
  4. Licence
    1. Upon the commencement of the Term of the Agreement according to Section 9 MultAI grants to the Customer the non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right, limited to the Term of the Agreement according to Section 9 and subject to full payment of the Fees according to Section 5, to use the Platform in accordance with the Agreement (“License”).
    2. Any components of the Platform which are subject to third-party rights, including components subject to open-source licenses disclosed to Customer, are excluded from the License.
  5. Fees and Payment
    1. The Customer pays to MultAI the fees agreed in the Agreement for the use of the Platform (“Fees”).
    2. Unless otherwise stipulated in the Agreement, all Fees apply monthly and net plus applicable value added tax.
    3. Invoices are issued as follows: Upon Registration the Fee is payable for the first month in advance and this date will mark the day on which the Customer will be invoiced by MultAI consequently during the following months (“Invoicing Date”). If a Co-Admin registers additional End-Users for the Platform the first respective additional share (pro rata with respect to the days left until the next Invoicing Date) of the Fee will be invoiced on the following Invoicing Date. All Fees invoiced are due upon invoicing unless the Parties have expressly agreed otherwise. MultAI uses the payment service provider Stripe [Stripe Technology Europe, Limited is an Irish limited company. Registered number: 0599050. Registered office: 25/28 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, D01H104] for processing the payment of Fees.
  6. Warranty
    1. For any services provided free of charge including but not limited to the provision of charge-free access to the Platform for beta testing purposes, MultAI provides warranty according to the applicable statutory provisions (Sec. 521 et seq.; 599 et seq. BGB).
    2. In any other case, MultAI provides warranty for defects in the provision of the Platform exclusively in accordance with the following provisions.
    3. Defects are significant deviations from the contractually agreed functional scope of the Platform.
    4. If the Platform is defective, MultAI will, within a reasonable period and after receipt of a written notice of defect by the Customer (email is sufficient), at its choice either subsequently rectify such defect in a reasonable way and/or provide any other owed services again without defect. When using third party software which MultAI has licensed for use by the Customer, the remedy of defects consists in the procurement and installation of generally available upgrades, updates or patches. The provision of instructions for use, with which the Customer can reasonably work around defects that have occurred in order to use the Platform in accordance with the Agreement, is also deemed to be a subsequent rectification.
    5. If the defect-free provision of the Platform fails for reasons for which MultAI is responsible, even within a reasonable period set by the Customer in written form (email is sufficient), the Customer can reduce the Fees by an appropriate amount. The right to reduce the Fees is limited to the amount of the annual fixed price for the defective part of the Platform.
    6. If the reduction according to clause 6.5 reaches the maximum amount specified in clause 6.5 in two consecutive months or in two months of a quarter year, the Customer may terminate the Agreement for good cause.
    7. The Customer will notify MultAI without undue delay in written form (email is sufficient) of any defects that may occur. Furthermore, the Customer will support MultAI free of charge and in a reasonable manner in the remedy of defects and will in particular provide MultAI with all information and documents which MultAI requires for the analysis and remedy of defects.
  7. Liability
    1. For any services provided free of charge including but not limited to the provision of charge-free access to the Platform for beta testing purposes, MultAI shall be liable according to the applicable statutory provisions (Sec. 521 et seq.; 599 et seq. BGB).
    2. In all other respects MultAI shall be fully liable for intent and gross negligence and for damages caused by injury to life, body or health.
    3. In cases of slight negligence MultAI shall be liable only for breaches of a primary contractual obligation (Kardinalpflichten according to German law). A primary contractual obligation in the meaning of this is an obligation whose fulfilment enables the performance of the Agreement and on whose performance the Customer may therefore regularly rely.
    4. In cases according to clause 7.3 MultAI shall not be liable for lack of economic success, lost profits and indirect damages.
    5. Liability according to the above clause 7.3 shall be limited to the typical, foreseeable damage at the time of the conclusion of the Agreement.
    6. In the case of 7.3, liability for damages due to loss of data is limited to the amount of data recovery that would have been incurred even if the Customer had regularly backed up the data in accordance with the respective risk.
    7. The limitations of liability shall apply mutatis mutandis to the benefit of the employees, managing directors, agents and vicarious agents of MultAI.
    8. Any liability of MultAI for given guarantees (which must be explicitly designated as such) and for claims based on the German Product Liability Act or applicable data protection laws remains unaffected.
    9. Any further liability of MultAI is excluded.
  8. Confidentiality
    1. The Customer undertakes to treat confidential information and documents (“Confidential Information”) of MultAI, which are either obviously to be regarded as confidential or have been designated by MultAI as confidential, as trade secrets and not to make them accessible to third parties. Third parties in the sense of this arrangement are also considered to be affiliated companies in which the Customer does not have a capital majority or a majority of votes. The Customer’s employees and other third parties (including subcontractors and freelancers) mandated by the Customer are to be obligated accordingly.
    2. Confidential Information includes in particular the Platform or parts thereof and any deliverable or other information provided in connection with its deployment and the documentation as well as all of MultAI’s technologies, information provided by MultAI in the context of support requests or collaboration for the purpose of troubleshooting, as well as this Agreement including its Annex 1.
    3. The Customer is entitled to disclose Confidential Information made available to them to third parties if and to the extent that this is indispensable for the performance of this Agreement or the exercise of contractual rights or if this is mandatory for legal or supervisory reasons. In the event of inquiries from third parties, judicial or administrative authorities concerning the disclosure of confidential information the Customer must inform MultAI without undue delay in written or text form and support MultAI in its efforts to prevent the disclosure of such Confidential Information.
    4. The duty of secrecy does not apply if the Confidential Information was already known to the Customer before disclosure by MultAI, is generally known or becomes known without fault of the Customer, was developed by the Customer themselves without access to the Confidential Information by MultAI or is brought to the attention of the third party by a bona fide third party who is entitled to do so. The mandatory legal obligations to provide information remain reserved. If the Customer invokes one or more of the aforementioned reasons, they must prove this by presenting suitable evidence.
    5. The duty of secrecy begins with the knowledge of the Confidential Information and continues for the entire term of this Agreement and beyond that for five years from termination or the end of the Agreement term, unless legal regulations provide for a longer duty of secrecy. The Customer guarantees, within the scope of what is legally possible, that the duties of secrecy are also binding for his successors in title, assignees and affiliated companies.
    6. During the period of validity of this duty of secrecy confidential information must be returned without undue delay, undamaged and complete at the first request of MultAI. MultAI can also order that certain Confidential Information are being destroyed, deleted or placed in safe-keeping and that the execution of this is confirmed in written form by the Customer. The above provisions in this clause apply only insofar as this does not significantly impair the use of the contractual Platform in accordance with the Agreement.
    7. Notwithstanding the above provisions MultAI is entitled to designate the Customer as a reference Customer by mentioning the full business name and using the logo of the business name in marketing materials (including websites).
    8. With the exception of Section 8.7, the above provisions of Section 8 do not establish any licences under intellectual property law. All licences granted under this Agreement remain unaffected by the above provisions.
  9. Term and Termination
    1. The Agreement commences upon successful Registration and it is concluded for an unlimited period (“Term”).
    2. The Agreement can be terminated at any time. The Customer may use the respective functionality provided on the Platform to declare their termination. MultAI shall declare such termination per email to the email address provided in the course of the Registration by the Co-Admin. Any such termination shall be effective on the next Invoicing Date.
    3. MultAI is entitled to terminate the Agreement for good cause and immediate effect without further notice, if the Customer is more than six weeks in default of payment of the agreed fees and MultAI has notified the Customer of the possibility of a respective termination at least two weeks before such termination takes effect in text or written form.
    4. MultAI reserves the right to suspend, restrain or discontinue individual features of the Platform for reasons other than those according to Section 2.12 under the conditions of Section 10.1. If the Customer objects to the changes in accordance with Section 10.1, MultAI has the right of extraordinary notice of termination on the date on which the changes come into force.
    5. The right to termination for good cause remains unaffected for both Parties.
    6. Upon termination of the Agreement, irrespective of its cause, MultAI will delete the Customer’s personal data in accordance with Annex 1 MultAI is entitled, but not obliged, to store data for security reasons for a period of four weeks after the termination of the contractual relationship to protect the Customer from accidental loss of data. MultAI is also entitled to store data after the termination of the contractual relationship if MultAI is legally or by order of an authority obliged to do so, in particular for reasons of commercial and tax law.
  10. Changes to the Agreement
    1. The contents of the terms and conditions applicable between the Customer and MultAI can be amended as described below: MultAI will send the changed terms and conditions in text form before the planned entry into force and will point out the new regulations and the date of the planned entry into force separately. At the same time MultAI will give the Customer a reasonable period of at least two months to declare whether it accepts the changed terms and conditions for further use of the Service. If no declaration is made within this period, which begins to run from receipt of the notification in text form, the changed terms and conditions are deemed to be agreed. MultAI will inform the Customer separately of these remedies, i.e. the right to object, the objection period and the meaning of tacit admission, at the beginning of the period.
    2. Changes relating to material contractual obligations are only permitted if these are necessary because the services provided by MultAI without the change of the material contractual obligations are necessary for reasons of IT security or due to a changed legal situation.
  11. Data Protection

    With regard to the personal data that MultAI processes on behalf of Customer under this Agreement, the Parties enter into the Data Processing Agreement in Annex 1 – Data Processing Agreement(“DPA”). In the event of contradictions between this agreement and the DPA, the provisions of the DPA shall prevail.

  12. Miscellaneous
    1. Unless otherwise stipulated in this Agreement, any changes and additional agreements to this Agreement must be made in written form. This also applies to this written form clause.
    2. In case of contradictions between the Annex 1 and the Agreement, the provisions of the Annex 1 shall prevail.
    3. The Customer can only offset against claims of MultAI or assert a right to retain if the counterclaim is undisputed or has been legally recognized or is in a synallagmatic relationship with the respective claim concerned.
    4. The language of the Agreement is English. Any translations into other languages are for the sole purpose of convenience. In case of conflict, doubt or or ambiguity the English language version shall always prevail.
    5. The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
    6. The exclusive place of jurisdiction over all disputes under or in connection with this Agreement is the place of the registered office of MultAI, provided that the parties of the Agreement are merchants or the Customer has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany or in another EU member state or has moved his permanent domicile abroad after these terms and conditions have come into effect or his domicile or his habitual place of residence is unknown at the time of the commencement of legal proceedings.
