Terms of Use

The computer programs of A. Baumann, the program descriptions and instruction manuals, are object of the contract. These also are described as “software” in the following.

I wish to inform you that in the current state of the art it is impossible to create computer software in a way so that it will run error-free in all possible combinations and environments. The subject of this contract is therefore only a software which is generally useful as noted in of the program descriptions and user manuals. All statements on my web site or in the attached program documentations regarding the range of features of our software are only general information and no guaranteed properties.

• The software is provided without any warranties.

• The author Andreas Baumann cannot be held liable for any damages resulting from the use of this software or impossibility to use this software by the user or third parties.
  In no case can the author be made responsible for any loss of profit or revenue or the loss of data or any direct, indirect, special consequential, incidental or inclusive damages caused by the use of the software or the impossibility to use the software, independently of a theoretically applicable possible liability, even if the possibility of such damages has been brought to the author’s attention.

• The standard version of the software is free to use for private persons. The commercial or professional use of the free versions is not allowed.

• The free standard version of the software can be used for evaluation purposes in businesses.

• For professional/business use you must acquire a license from the author to use the software. Professional use of the free version infringes applicable copyrights and can be prosecuted according to civil and criminal law.

• Commercial or professional use or distribution in any form requires my written consent.

• Changes to the software or its documentation or any form of decompilation are forbidden.

• A user is not legally entitled to demand free support for the software. However, we are always trying to help our users to the best of our abilities and provide qualified e-mail support.

• The licence fee contains one free new key in case you lose your old one during the first 12 months after buying our software. After that, we charge a processing fee for issuing a new key.

• Should any of the provisions of this contract be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected. The provision in question must be replaced by a valid provision which is as near as possible to the desired purpose.

• The general terms and conditions by Andreas Baumann apply. Terms and conditions of the customer do not apply. Andreas Baumann explicitly contradicts their inclusion as far as no individual inclusion was agreed upon between the parties.
