Terms & Conditions

I. Contents and Scope of Validity

1.1. The following conditions (‘General Terms and Conditions’, in short ‘T&Cs’) apply to the use of the standard software programmes as a SaaS service via internet (‘software’) between TeamUltim Software UG (limited liability) (‘TeamUltim’) and its clients (‘client’). For the sole purpose of clarity, the generic masculine is used in these general terms and conditions, however, all genders, as well as sexual identities are explicitly included.

1.2. The general subject-matter of the contract is the lease of the planning software provided by TeamUltim for use via the internet, as well as the storage of client data on the servers used by TeamUltim.

1.3. Only that which has been agreed upon in the pre-contractual or contractual framework and the following regulations of these terms and conditions apply between TeamUltim and its clients. Terms and conditions on the part of the client are explicitly rejected and have no significance whatsoever with regard to the legal relationship between TeamUltim and the client, even if TeamUltim does not explicitly state this in its communication with the client.


II. Conclusion of Contract between TeamUltim and the Client

2.1. The products listed on TeamUltim’s website do not represent an offer according to § 145 BGB (German Civil Code), but are merely an invitation to make an offer (invitatio ad offerendum).

2.2. If the client has made a corresponding solicitation, this is the offer. TeamUltim can then explicitly accept the offer by sending a written message to the client (e.g. as an order confirmation) or implied by providing the service to the client. In the latter case, the client foregoes the right to receive the declaration of acceptance as defined in § 151 p. 1 Art. 2 BGB. TeamUltim is not obliged to accept an offer.

2.3. By registering for a free trial account on the website teamultim.com with their company, their e-mail and a self-chosen password, the client makes an offer to conclude this contract of use, which TeamUltim may accept according to paragraph 2.2. Thereafter, the client may test the TeamUltim services free of charge. If the client does not opt for a fee-based TeamUltim license by the end of the trial period, the account will remain valid for the time being, but the client will no longer be able to access the full TeamUltim features, such as rosters. The client remains free to choose the option of a fee-based TeamUltim license or to cancel their account. However, this does not constitute any such claim on the part of the client. Upon cancellation, the account will be deleted. TeamUltim is entitled to delete the account two months after the end of the free trial period, if the client has not selected a payable TeamUltim license and has paid the amount due in full.
