The owed availability, i.e. the technical usability of the SaaS software and the data at the transfer point for use by the customer using a client, is regulated in the Annex. The technical requirements for the use/network connection of the client are described in the appendix. The technical requirements stated therein, which are valid at the time of the conclusion of the contract, can be unilaterally adjusted by the Provider at any time; however, the Provider must observe a notification period of one (1) month.

3. Rights of use
For the duration of this contract, the customer is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and remunerated right to use the SaaS software mentioned in section 3.2 for his own purposes. The provisions of this Clause 3.3 govern the Customer's rights of use conclusively. The Provider shall provide the Customer with the number of user names and user passwords agreed in the Annex. The Customer shall immediately change the passwords to passwords known only to him. The Customer is solely responsible for the administration of user profiles and passwords and these are to be kept secret by the Customer and protected from unauthorised access. The right of use includes exclusively the right to use the SaaS software, as specified in section 3.2, by remote access via a data line for the customer's own purposes, during the usage times and to the extent specified therein. Under no circumstances may the use be made in an unlawful manner or for unlawful purposes (including infringement of third party intellectual property rights or use of unlawfully obtained or processed data). The Customer shall indemnify the Provider against all costs, expenses and liability incurred by the Provider as a result of such unlawful use. The Provider is entitled to delete illegal data without further ado. The costs of remote access by the Customer (in particular for the required terminal equipment and the Customer's connection costs) shall be borne by the Customer and the Customer alone shall be responsible for the availability of the telecommunications connection. The transfer point for the use of the SaaS software and the associated data is the router exit of the Provider's computer centre. With the granting of the right to use the SaaS software, the Provider also grants the Client the right to use the client software that may be required for remote access to the end devices, insofar as this has been specified in detail in the Annex. The client software may be duplicated insofar as such duplication is necessary for the contractual use of the SaaS software (e.g. loading the client software into the main memory). The customer may only use the client to access the server within the framework of the contractual use of the SaaS software. The Client undertakes to comply at all times with the system requirements defined in the Annex and to ensure that the users are familiar with the proper operation of the client software. The rights of use granted to the client by the provider for software created by third parties are limited in scope to the rights of use granted by the third party to the provider. The rights of use relate only to the object code, but not to the source code. The customer may neither copy the SaaS software nor the structure of the database. The customer shall take the necessary precautions to ensure that third parties do not have access to the SaaS software. In the event of unauthorised access by a third party to the SaaS platform and software, the customer shall report this immediately to the Provider. He shall support the Provider in taking all permissible means to protect his interests. The user documentation referred to in the Annex is part of the granted right of use to the SaaS software and is provided by the Provider in electronic form.

If the SaaS software is third-party software, the error and fault clearance or adjustments to the SaaS software or its documentation shall be limited to coordination with the software manufacturer and the installation of patches and updates or documentation provided by the software manufacturer. The fee for the standard maintenance services is included in the ordinary fee for the cloud service in accordance with clause 3 below. Any further maintenance services which go beyond the standard maintenance services mentioned will be invoiced to the customer additionally in accordance with the Provider's applicable rates, insofar as they are offered by the Provider. The Provider is entitled to further develop and adapt the Cloud Service, but in particular the performance features of the SaaS software, in order to take account of technical progress and changes in the legal framework. The Provider shall inform about such updates of the Cloud Service with reasonable notice (as a rule 1 month in advance), in particular by e-mail or on a suitable maintenance portal. If the use of the updated version of the Cloud Service is unreasonable for the customer, the contract may be terminated by the customer at any time in writing with a notice period of 30 days to the end of a month.

5. Data, Data Storage & Backup
The Provider shall provide the Customer with storage capacity on the Provider's servers in accordance with the Annex for the storage of data in connection with the use of the SaaS software. The data belongs to the legal domain of the Customer using the Cloud Service, even if it is stored locally at the Provider. The customer is exclusively responsible for the storage and processing of the data. n particular, the Customer shall strictly comply with the provisions of the applicable data protection law when collecting and processing personal data. The Provider enables the Customer to download its data stored on the Provider's server during the term of the contract and within 30 days after termination of the contract in a standardised procedure provided by the Provider. However, the Provider does not assume any guarantee for the usability of downloaded data on other systems. The Provider is entitled to delete the Customer's data stored with him 30 days after termination of the contract, unless the Provider is obliged to retain them according to mandatory law. The Provider shall take suitable precautions against data loss in the event of cloud server failures and to prevent unauthorised access to the Customer's data by third parties. To this end, the Provider shall make regular backups (at least once a day), check the server platform for viruses and protect the Customer's access data stored on the server against unauthorised access by suitable means in line with the state of the art. 6.

6. Cooperation obligations of the customer
The customer is responsible for the provision and maintenance of the end devices required for the use of the SaaS software, the data line for the access to the SaaS software (e.g. hardware and operating system, network devices, rental or Internet connection, etc.) and ensures that their configuration and technical status correspond to the respective current specifications of the Provider. They undertake to protect their systems against misuse in accordance with the current state of the art and minimise the risk of unauthorised access to the Smart eTax account and the Smart eTax services by using suitable security measures (e.g. use of an up-to-date anti-virus programme, a firewall, a spam filter). When using the SaaS software by him or by users designated by him, he shall observe the specifications in the appendix and in the respective current user documentation and protect the access data against unauthorised access. They shall ensure sufficient access protection. Strong passwords shall be used in accordance with the system specifications. Login data must be changed regularly and immediately if there is reason to believe that unauthorised third parties have gained knowledge of them.

You will not store or process any data or information in the Smart eTax account and via a Smart eTax service that violates these GC, applicable law or morality. You shall comply with the relevant statutory provisions, in particular on data protection and intellectual property rights. The Customer is responsible for the content of the data posted by him and his users in the Smart eTax account and the Smart eTax services or generated therein. The Provider is not obliged to check the content for its lawfulness or legality, but reserves the right to view, change or delete this content at any time without notification of the owner in the event of suspicion of unlawful or immoral content. In the event of an official or judicial order, the Provider is obliged to hand over or grant access to this content. The customer decides on his own responsibility which contents are processed and stored in the Smart eTax account and the Smart eTax services and whether the data security provided by the provider is sufficient for his contents. Before transmitting data and information to the provider, the customer shall check them for viruses and use state-of-the-art virus protection programmes. In the event of serious violations of the terms of use of the Cloud Service (by the customer himself or by users designated by him) or of the customer's duties to cooperate, the Provider is entitled to block the customer's access to the Cloud Service. In the event of unauthorised transfer of use, the customer must immediately provide the Provider, upon request, with all information required to assert claims against the user, in particular the name and address of the user.

The Customer undertakes to pay the remuneration for the Cloud Service as set out in the Provider's current price list and the Annex. The current price list including the billing and payment modalities is attached to this contract as an appendix and is an integral part of this contract. The Provider is entitled to unilaterally adjust the price list at the beginning of a new month with 30 days' notice. If the Customer does not agree to the price adjustment, he has the right to terminate the contract prematurely at the time of the price adjustment, whereby the termination must be made in writing and in compliance with a notice period of three months. All invoices are to be paid by the Customer net within 30 days of the invoice date to the account specified by the Provider. Invoices that are not objected to in writing within the payment period are deemed to be accepted. The Provider is entitled to charge the statutory interest on arrears on all outstanding payments after expiry of the payment period without a reminder.

All intellectual property rights to the Cloud Service provided to the Customer under this Agreement shall be vested in the Provider or the software manufacturer. In particular, the Customer does not acquire any rights to the SaaS software itself (including the documentation), the developments and the know-how of the Provider, unless this is expressly agreed otherwise in the Contract or in the Annex. The customer is entitled to use the customer-specific developments, if any, developed by the provider on the basis of this contract to the same extent as agreed in section 3.3 above.

1. Warranty
The Provider guarantees that the SaaS software complies with the contractually agreed specifications during the term of the contract. In the event of defects, which are notified to the Provider in detail by the Customer immediately upon their discovery, the Provider shall take the reasonable measures necessary to remedy the defect within a period of time appropriate to the circumstances. The Provider cannot guarantee that the SaaS software and its server platform are error-free, nor that they can be used without interruption. In particular, the Provider is entitled to suspend access for urgent maintenance work even outside the agreed maintenance windows. The above warranty applies only to the hardware and software configuration recommended by the Provider. The faultless operation of the SaaS software in connection with third-party software is not guaranteed. In the event of changes or interventions in the SaaS software or the client software not carried out by or through the Provider, in the event of incorrect operation as well as changes to operating conditions and/or terms of use, the warranty shall automatically expire. The Provider is obliged to provide its services carefully and professionally. In the event of complaints, the Provider shall take the measures necessary to remedy the defect without cost to the Customer, provided that the Provider is responsible for the defect and the Customer (and his agents) are not at fault. If a third party disputes the ownership and/or the rights of use of the SaaS software provided by the Provider to the Customer for use on the basis of this Agreement, the Customer shall inform the Provider immediately of the claim made by the third party. The Customer authorises the Provider to conduct and settle the legal dispute on its own, in particular also by means of a settlement. The Customer shall support the Provider in this regard and follow the Provider's instructions. The present provision conclusively regulates the warranty granted by the Provider and any further warranty of the Provider is expressly excluded.

2. Liability
The Provider's liability for culpably caused personal injury is unlimited. The liability for direct damage to property and financial loss culpably caused by the Provider in the performance of the present contract is limited to the sum of a half-yearly annual fee (before the occurrence of damage) payable by the Customer for the relevant Annex. Any liability of the Provider or its vicarious agents for other or further claims and damages, in particular claims for compensation for indirect, consequential or incidental damages, lost profits, lost use, unrealised savings, loss of earnings, business or production - irrespective of their legal basis - is expressly excluded. The Provider shall in no case be liable for unlawful content of the data stored with it or its misuse by the Customer. This limitation of liability applies irrespective of the legal basis of the liability. Further mandatory legal liability, e.g. for gross negligence or unlawful intent, remains reserved. There are no guarantees that the Smart eTax account or the Smart eTax services will meet the individual needs of the client or its users, regardless of whether these have been communicated to the provider. Statements on the Website or other promotional statements from the Provider do not constitute representations or warranties as to the nature of the Applications. When using provided business data in contact registration, Provider provides this business data "as is". The Provider does not guarantee the completeness, quality, correctness, up-to-dateness, permanent availability or freedom from third party rights, nor does it guarantee that this business data is available for every country requested by the Owner. No intellectual property rights are transferred to the business data made available. The owner itself shall ensure that the business data is used in a legally compliant manner when used for its own purposes and shall be solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws in connection with this data. Any misuse, e.g. to build up a comprehensive address database, as well as any unlawful use of this data is prohibited. In such a case, the Provider reserves the right to terminate the contractual relationship, to demand the deletion of this data and to claim damages. The Provider excludes any warranty and liability with regard to the business data made available - to the extent permitted by law. Any strict liability on the part of the Provider is excluded. In particular, it is not liable for disruptions for which it is not responsible, especially not for security defects and operational failures of third-party companies with which it cooperates or on which it is dependent. The Provider assumes no warranty, guarantee or liability for hardware, products or additional services of third-party providers that are integrated when using the applications. The Provider is not a party to the legal relationship that exists between the Owner and these third party providers.

In the event of a chargeable use of a Smart eTax service, the Customer shall owe the Provider a remuneration in accordance with the Provider's current price quotations. The remuneration is determined by the respective scope of use of the Smart eTax service by him and his users and, if applicable, a subscription fee. For the activation of a chargeable Smart eTax service, the deposit of a valid payment card is required as the sole means of payment. Special features regarding the method of payment may exist in individual cases. The Provider uses the service of an independent payment service provider for secure payment processing. Identification data required for a payment are entered into the secure environment of the payment service provider and transmitted via the Internet in accordance with standard encryption for financial transactions. The terms and conditions of the payment service provider apply. A debit from the deposited payment card is made on the 1st day of each month in advance for the chargeable Smart eTax services in the case of a fixed fee, after the end of the month in the case of variable usage options, and pro rata temporis for the period until the end of the month in the case of a start within a month. At the same time, the customer shall receive the payment receipt for the debit (amount purely net including statutory value added tax). The Customer hereby expressly authorises the Provider or the company responsible for payment to collect due receivables from the Provider arising from this contractual relationship directly via the deposited payment card. As a rule, invoices are issued monthly and directly to the Customer. The remuneration is payable purely net plus statutory value added tax in Swiss francs. The client must raise any objections in writing within 30 days of invoicing. If the invoice is not objected to within this period, it shall be deemed accepted. Default shall occur after the due date without further reminder. If the customer defaults on payment, the provider is entitled to restrict the use of the Smart eTax account as well as the Smart eTax services with immediate effect without setting a grace period, to block access and to terminate the contractual relationship. In the event of a restriction or blocking of access, the client shall not be entitled to use the applications, but shall remain obliged to pay the remuneration as it falls due. In the event of default, the Provider is entitled to charge default interest on the arrears as well as further costs (such as for processing, reminder fees, enforcement measures). Reminder fees amount to CHF 50 per reminder. In the event of payment arrears, the Provider may - subject to the Customer bearing the costs - at any time instruct third parties to collect the receivables. Upon termination of the contractual relationship, all outstanding debts shall become due. Smart eTax reserves the right to assert further damage caused by default. After full payment of outstanding debts, the provider can restore access to the Smart eTax account and the Smart eTax services. In the event of an obligation to pay in advance on the part of the Provider, creditworthiness information about the Customer may be obtained from third parties, for example a credit agency, in order to protect its legitimate interests, and data of the Customer on payment behaviour may be passed on to these third parties.

1. Duration & Termination of the Contract
This Agreement shall enter into force upon the Customer's acceptance of these GC upon registration for a Smart eTax account or activation of a Smart eTax Service. The contractual relationship with the Provider is concluded for an indefinite period. The client may terminate the use of the Smart eTax account and all Smart eTax services activated therein at any time by closing his Smart eTax account. The system will issue a warning with a note. If the customer then confirms the "Delete account" button again, the Smart eTax account and its contents stored therein will be irrevocably and completely deleted. There is no longer any possibility of restoring the contents. Individual Smart eTax services can be terminated at any time by deactivation. The provider may terminate the contractual relationship with 30 days' notice to the end of the month. The contract may also be terminated by the customer in writing at any time with 90 days' notice to the end of a month for an important reason for which the provider is responsible, provided that the reason has not been remedied by the provider within a reasonable period (at least 30 days) after written notification by the customer. Both parties reserve the right to terminate the contract without notice for good cause. In particular, justified suspicion of abuse of the use of the Smart eTax account or a Smart eTax service, any violation of the existing contractual provisions by the Customer or his users, as well as insolvency, opening of bankruptcy proceedings or petition for debt-restructuring moratorium of the other party shall be deemed to be good cause. The contract may be terminated by the Provider in writing at any time with 30 days' notice to the end of a month for good cause for which the Provider is not responsible. Good cause is deemed to exist in particular in the event of unlawful use or if, in the event of default in payment, the customer fails to make payment even after a final reasonable payment deadline has been set with the threat of termination.

2. Consequences of termination
Termination of the contractual relationship does not entitle the owner to a refund of any payment already made. In the event of termination during a current month, the entire month shall be owed as remuneration. Due claims shall be fulfilled. At the time of termination of the contractual relationship, the Provider will block access to the Smart eTax account, terminate the use of the Smart eTax services. Individually deactivated Smart eTax services will be blocked immediately. This means in particular that all pending business cases or services as well as any associated status messages will no longer be transported or executed or will be available The client is responsible for planning the termination of the use of the Smart eTax account and the Smart eTax services. He/she will independently back up his/her data files in good time before termination and delete corresponding data or hereby authorises the Provider to delete the data upon termination of the contractual relationship. Access to the owner's data files is excluded after termination of the contractual relationship, as these are deleted at the latest upon expiry of the backup periods. Excluded from deletion is data which the Provider is legally or contractually obliged to retain for a limited period of time, as well as data which is required for the billing or collection of the services provided.

3. Confidentiality
Both contracting parties mutually undertake, as well as their vicarious agents, to maintain the confidentiality of all documents and information which are not generally known and which relate to the business sphere of the other party and which become accessible to them during the preparation and execution of this contract, including the contents of the Annex. This obligation shall remain in force as long as there is a legitimate interest in it, even after the termination of the contractual relationship. The parties undertake to comply with the provisions of the relevant data protection laws, in particular to keep confidential and protect any personal data that may become known during the provision of the contractual services and to use it exclusively for the purpose for which it was disclosed. Insofar as the Provider stores personal data of the Owner when using the applications (e.g. within the scope of hosting) or can access such data (e.g. within the scope of support), the Provider is a processor for the Customer within the meaning of data protection provisions and the Owner is the responsible party. By accepting these GC, the Customer also acknowledges the Agreement on Commissioned Data Processing (ADV) in its current version. The Customer indemnifies the Provider against any claims by third parties (including data subjects) in the event of legal violations, unless the Provider is responsible for such violations within the scope of its liability limits. The Provider may at any time engage third parties for the proper performance of its obligations. These processors are carefully selected and commissioned by the Provider. They receive data only to the extent necessary to provide the specifically agreed commissioned processing. Commissioned processing can take place in Switzerland or in a member state of the EU or the EEA, whereby an appropriate level of data protection is ensured. For data processed outside of these states, the provider provides suitable guarantees such as the conclusion of standard data protection clauses or consent is obtained for data transfer abroad. Upon request, the provider will provide information about their processors. For some Smart eTax services, information may be exchanged between systems of a third party provider or content may be synchronised with them. In this case, the parties involved are expressly permitted the necessary accesses, the exchange between the respective systems and the processing of the content. In this context, personal data as well as transaction data may be transmitted and processed for the purpose of using the Smart eTax account or the Smart eTax services. The customer hereby expressly consents to this. How the Provider itself, as the data protection controller, processes data is described in its privacy policy on its website. The currently published version applies. Information marked as confidential by the Provider or recognisable as confidential from the circumstances is to be regarded as a business and trade secret by the Provider and to be kept secret. The customer will not use such information, neither for his own purposes, nor transfer it in whole or in part to unauthorised third parties, hand it over or make it accessible in any other way.

4. Data protection
The contracting parties are aware that the conclusion and performance of this contract may result in the processing of personal data relating to the contracting parties, their employees, subcontractors, etc. The disclosing party shall not disclose any such data to third parties. In such cases, the disclosing party shall take appropriate organisational, technical and contractual precautions to ensure data protection. State-of-the-art encryption mechanisms are used for data transmission. However, it cannot be completely ruled out that transmitted data can nevertheless be viewed by unauthorised persons. Certain technical features of the connection setup (e.g. IP addresses) are not encrypted. With knowledge of this data, localisation and thus a conclusion about an existing relationship to the customer or user is possible. The Client further acknowledges that data may be transmitted uncontrolled across borders, even if the sender and recipient of the data are located in Switzerland. The provider shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures that are appropriate in particular to the state of the art, the type and scope of data processing when using the applications and possible risks that their use entails. This includes the use of security measures such as firewalls or antivirus programmes to protect the customer's data. All communication that takes place through the Provider or by means of the software used by the Provider shall, wherever possible, only be made via protected communication channels. The Provider may carry out checks at regular intervals with regard to possible threats to data security.

5. Export control
The Customer is aware that the Cloud Service may be subject to the export legislation of various countries and undertakes not to export the Cloud Service to countries or to natural or legal persons or to permit access by persons to whom an export ban applies under the relevant legislation. The Provider is also entitled to restrict, suspend or terminate the Customer's access to the Cloud Service for good cause on the basis of provisions applicable to it relating to trade sanctions or embargoes.

6. Force Majeure
In the event of any disruption, delay or interruption to the Smart eTax Account or the Smart eTax Services due to force majeure (such as landslides, earthquakes, severe weather, storms, floods, other natural disasters, terrorism, epidemics, pandemics) or other circumstances or events, which significantly restrict the Provider or, as the case may be, third party providers in their provision of services or make their provision of services impossible (such as sabotage, hacker attacks, danger of misuse, conspicuous flow of information, war, an embargo, strike, lockouts, fire, explosions, power failure, laws, regulations, decisions or orders of governmental authorities, shutdowns, failures of communication networks, of server or infrastructure providers or gateways of other operators, even if such failure occurs at suppliers or subcontractors of the Provider or their subcontractors, the Provider shall have the right to block access to the Smart eTax account and to restrict Smart eTax services, to interrupt and postpone the provision of services for the duration of such event or its consequences and to extend this period by a reasonable period of time for the commencement of the further provision of services. For this period, the Provider shall be released from its performance obligations. If such an event continues without interruption for a period of more than 60 days, the contractual relationship may be terminated by either party. In no event shall the Customer be entitled to any damages or other claims against the Provider if such a circumstance is beyond the reasonable control of the Provider.

7. Offsetting of claims
The offsetting of any claims of a contracting party against counterclaims of the other party requires the prior written agreement of the contracting parties.

The Provider shall endeavour to achieve the highest possible availability of the Smart eTax account and the Smart eTax services at all times and shall exercise due care to this end. The targeted availability does not include interruptions or restrictions due to the following events: technical necessities, detection or rectification of security risks, anomalies in access behaviour, sabotage or malfunctions, (planned and unplanned) (emergency) maintenance and downtime, programme corrections, any updates or changes to the functions of software, restrictions imposed by other systems, official or court orders, acts or omissions of the owner or its users, epidemics, pandemics or cases of force majeure, problems attributable to server suppliers or hosting partners, defence against attacks by pirates, hackers, viruses or other malware events, breaches of data security or to ward off other dangers. In these cases, the Provider is entitled to restrict access to the Smart eTax account and the Smart eTax services as well as any additional services at any time and, if necessary, without prior notice or to interrupt them for the required period of time, without this giving rise to any claims (including price reductions, repayment of payments made, damages) or other rights on the part of the Customer - subject to mandatory statutory liability claims. These interruptions or restrictions will be notified to the customer - as far as possible - as soon as possible. The Provider shall endeavour to ensure that interruptions and restrictions are remedied as quickly as possible and shall endeavour to schedule them as briefly as possible and, if possible, at suitable times.

The provider is interested in the satisfaction of their customers. For this reason, the Provider may inquire by e-mail whether the applications can be used satisfactorily or provide the customers with information concerning the applications, such as information about maintenance, new features or possible uses. It is possible to object to receiving such e-mails at any time by sending a message to the Provider. The Provider is entitled to send the Customer, even without the Customer's consent, information on its own similar contractual products or the additional services used via the Smart eTax account by e-mail or post or to contact the Customer by telephone. The Provider has a legitimate interest in this to address the Customer in an advertising manner. There is a right to object to the sending of such e-mails or telephone enquiries at any time. An objection can be declared directly to the provider.

1. Miscellaneous
The Provider is entitled to change these GC, the scope of use of the applications and their prices at any time and will notify any changes at least one month in advance in writing or by other means (e.g. within the Smart eTax account or by e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the Owner). They are deemed to be approved if the owner does not terminate the contractual relationship within 30 days of notification of the changes. In the event of a change, the customer has no claims against the provider. Prices will be adjusted at the beginning of each calendar month.

2. Contents of the contract
This contract and its appendices conclusively regulate the relationship between the contracting parties with regard to the subject matter of the contract and replace the negotiations and correspondence conducted prior to the conclusion of the contract. In the event of contradictions, the annex shall take precedence over this contract; in the event of several annexes, the last validly concluded provisions of the annexes shall take precedence over the contradictory provisions in an earlier annex.

3. Written form
