Any Additional Terms provided by Avidestal Technologies are inseparable from and must be interpreted in light of these General Terms and Conditions. In case of conflict between specific provisions of these Terms and any Additional Terms, the latter shall supersede the former.
All Orders concluded between Avidestal Technologies and CLIENT are deemed to be binding agreements and are subject to these General Terms and Conditions. All such Orders shall be subject to a Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Avidestal Technologies shall provide an opportunity to the CLIENT to test the Services upon request before Order Confirmation. Orders cannot be cancelled and shall thus be treated as termination of Agreement, as laid out in these Terms.
This Agreement shall be automatically terminated by the accomplishment of the term initially agreed upon unless the parties explicitly agree otherwise or an express order for extension of the Agreement in writing has been presented by the CLIENT. Upon accomplishment of term initially agreed upon by the parties, any exemptions, exceptions, discounts, price reductions and any other special conditions agreed upon by the parties shall expire and regular costs, fees and prices shall apply unless otherwise agreed by parties thereafter.
If the CLIENT fails to meet any obligations, either arising from this Agreement or resting with the CLIENT by virtue of this Agreement, Avidestal Technologies shall, without prejudice to any other rights it may have in respect thereof, be entitled to suspend its obligations until the CLIENT has cured the breach. Avidestal Technologies shall inform the CLIENT of any such breach with a warning. CLIENT shall be given a period of grace of 5 business days to cure the breach.
Avidestal Technologies reserves the right to terminate this Agreement with the CLIENT with an immediate effect by registered letter, without notice of default or judicial intervention, if the CLIENT is in default with payment or timely payment or fails to observe or does not strictly observe any other obligation arising from the Agreement. CLIENT shall be given a period of grace of 5 business days from the date of receipt to fulfill its obligations.
Regardless of the stipulations provided elsewhere in this Agreement, either of the parties shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement in writing with an immediate effect, without notice of default or judicial intervention, in cases such as the following:
4.1. if and as soon as the other party is granted a moratorium or provisional moratorium on payments and this moratorium or provisional moratorium on payments has lasted longer than six consecutive months;

4.3. if and as soon as the company of the other party is wound up, has ceased, or a substantial part thereof is sold;
4.4. if and as soon as a pre-judgment attachment or execution is levied on a considerable part of the assets of the other party and this attachment prevents a proper performance of the Agreement;
4.5. if and as soon as the other party must be deemed not or no longer to be able to fulfill its obligations arising from the Agreement.
In case an Agreement has been executed for an indefinite period of time and thus is not terminated by accomplishment, either of the parties can terminate the Agreement by notice of termination in writing, provided that the decision and reasons to terminate the Agreement have been properly communicated by either of the parties to one another. If no express notice period has been agreed upon between the parties, a notice period of a maximum of 2 calendar months shall be observed in the event of termination.
Termination of this Agreement, with respect to any or both Parties, shall be without prejudice to any obligations which are expressly stated to continue after or not to be affected by such termination.
Additional work shall be taken to mean all that is delivered during the term of the Agreement concluded with a CLIENT which is in excess of what has initially been agreed on.
An additional Order pertaining to additional work shall be executed upon request of the CLIENT. Avidestal Technologies shall only be bound to the Additional work after it has confirmed the instruction received from the CLIENT in writing.
Any and all expenses arising from the execution of Additional work by Avidestal Technologies due to loss of data, incorrectness of settings, and/or non-compliance with this Agreement arising from actions of the CLIENT shall be borne by the CLIENT. In such event, Avidestal Technologies shall inform the CLIENT in advance of the execution of Additional Work, and the parties will execute a corresponding amendment to this agreement to agree upon the relevant increase.
Unless otherwise expressly announced in writing, all prices quoted in Orders concluded between Avidestal Technologies and CLIENT shall be based on the rates indicated at the moment of Delivery and exclusive of VAT, sales tax and any other taxes, charges and levies, shipping, insurance, transport and/or operating system costs, installation, cable-wiring and non-durable goods, database and other software licenses necessary for the use of Services.
If, in fulfilling this Agreement, Avidestal Technologies must, for the purpose of best performance of this Agreement, use other products and/or Materials instead of the products and/or Materials agreed on, any and all additional costs shall be communicated to and thereafter borne by the CLIENT.
Avidestal Technologies holds explicit right to:
3.1. Modify or change prices for Software and Services offered by Avidestal Technologies without notice. Such changes shall not affect any pre-existing Agreements between Avidestal Technologies and its clients and shall only be applicable to automatic or non-automatic extensions of said Agreements and/ or new Agreements to be concluded by the parties;
3.2. Increase the prices quoted in the Agreement if the costs incurred by Avidestal Technologies rise as a result of circumstances beyond its control, including but not limited to a change in exchange rates, an increase in labour costs, a rise in energy prices or an increase in the cost of Materials. Should such be the case, the increased prices shall apply to this Agreement from the 1st of January of the next calendrical year.
Reasonable travel and/or accommodation costs arising from the execution of this Agreement are not included and shall be borne by the CLIENT.
Avidestal Technologies may offer discounts on specific Orders, in the event of which Avidestal Technologies shall communicate such discounts in writing, either in this Agreement or on www.avidestal.com or any other method of communication chosen by Avidestal Technologies. Discounts shall apply to the costs, fees or prices initially agreed upon in this Agreement for the term initially agreed upon for this Agreement.
Unless otherwise explicitly agreed by CLIENT and Avidestal Technologies in advance, CLIENT obliges, upon submitting or signing an Order, to conform with Avidestal Technologies’ terms of payment as follows.
Avidestal Technologies shall only accept wire transfer payments or credit card payments unless otherwise specifically agreed between parties. By selecting the credit card payment method, CLIENT, hereby authorizes Avidestal Technologies to initiate monthly credit card debit entries for payment if the project period spans a timeframe longer than 1 month. Avidestal Technologies shall assume no responsibility or liability if credit card payment by CLIENT fails, is rejected, disputed, or cannot be processed or accepted by the financial institution in charge. Should either be the case, Avidestal Technologies shall be entitled to reject CLIENT’s application to receive Services and/or may suspend the receipt of Services, including without limitation to the Software until valid payment in full is received.
Unless otherwise explicitly agreed by Avidestal Technologies and the CLIENT, the CLIENT shall pay Avidestal Technologies a one-time fee of accumulated Delivery costs and a monthly fee for the Services, including but not limited to License costs, Additional Work expenses and any other costs to be borne by the CLIENT as laid out in this Agreement, calculated according to the rates applied by Avidestal Technologies.
All invoices shall be sent to be paid by CLIENT in advance except for the invoices regarding Additional Work as defined in these Terms. All payments of invoices shall be made within 15 days of the invoice date, without extension or set-off, unless otherwise stated in the contract or order confirmation. In the event of failure to pay, the CLIENT shall be in default by operation of law and, therefore, an interest rate of 0.75% per month shall be payable by CLIENT to Avidestal Technologies without further notice of such default. Should such be the case, a part of a month shall be calculated as a month.
Any judicial and/or extrajudicial costs incurred in the collection of payments due to Avidestal Technologies shall be borne by the CLIENT.
Payments shall first be set off against the aforementioned costs and interest and shall, subsequently, be set off against the invoice which is overdue for the longest period of time.
The amounts due and payable to Avidestal Technologies shall be immediately claimable by operation of law as soon as any of the following occurs:
7.1. CLIENT is declared to be in a state of involuntary liquidation;
7.2. CLIENT applies for a moratorium of payments;
7.3. A petition for a guardianship order has been filed;
7.4. An attachment has been levied on CLIENT’s goods or part thereof;

7.6. CLIENT loses, wholly or partially, disposition over their assets;
7.7. CLIENT is in the process of being wound up or is dissolved, whether in general partnership or as a private limited company.
If before or during the execution of the Agreement, Avidestal Technologies has good reasons to believe that the CLIENT will not or not timely be able to fulfill its payment obligations, Avidestal Technologies shall be entitled, after a warning and a period of grace of 5 business days, to suspend the performance of its obligations until the CLIENT has on request furnished sufficient security therefore. If the CLIENT fails to furnish such security, Avidestal Technologies shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. The CLIENT shall compensate Avidestal Technologies for all the loss or damage sustained by Avidestal Technologies arising from this suspension or dissolution.
Each setoff invocation by the CLIENT shall be excluded unless the setoff invocation refers to a claim against Avidestal Technologies, which Avidestal Technologies has unconditionally recognized.
Avidestal Technologies shall execute the Order in accordance with specifications laid down in the Order Confirmation document.
All Services to be delivered by Avidestal Technologies shall also depend on the data, Materials and documents provided by the CLIENT, which shall be assumed to be correct and complete. Avidestal Technologies is not liable to pay any damages and costs ensued as a consequence of incorrectness and/or incompleteness of the data provided.
Avidestal Technologies is entitled to assign the execution, wholly or in part, to third parties if and in so far as such is deemed necessary, useful or required for the proper execution of this Agreement. Avidestal Technologies remains fully responsible for the performance and execution of this Agreement by these third parties.
Avidestal Technologies shall only have an obligation to perform to the best of its ability and no obligation to guarantee a certain result unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing. Avidestal Technologies never guarantees the suitability of its Services for a specific purpose unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing.
Modifications to Software, Content creation and other sorts of Services which are not explicitly listed on www.avidestal.com nor offered to CLIENT in writing by Avidestal Technologies nor otherwise made available to CLIENT are not included by standard unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing.
Avidestal Technologies shall deliver the Services provided for by this Agreement to the CLIENT after the payment, or sufficient proof thereof is received, unless otherwise explicitly agreed between Avidestal Technologies and CLIENT in writing.
Delivery dates, in any way mentioned by Avidestal Technologies, shall be deemed to be estimates. CLIENT hereby acknowledges that no damages shall be claimed from Avidestal Technologies if Delivery dates are exceeded unless mandatory statutory provisions prescribe otherwise.
Avidestal Technologies shall be entitled to deliver an Order wholly or successively in parts. In the latter case, partial Delivery will be communicated to the CLIENT and invoiced separately before the partial Delivery takes place.
Should the CLIENT fail to pay for (partial) Delivery or to provide sufficient proof of payment thereof, Avidestal Technologies shall be entitled, in so far as Avidestal Technologies has not yet concluded the Agreement, to terminate the Agreement without judicial intervention and without giving any notice of default to the CLIENT, without prejudice to its right to claim damages and without prejudice to its right to claim compliance instead of dissolution.
5. Avidestal Technologies reserves the right to charge repeated Delivery costs, as described in these Terms, in case the CLIENT requests the provision of Services to be continued after a suspension caused by conditions laid out in these Terms.
No action, regardless of form, arising from this Agreement may be brought by either party more than one year after the cause of action has accrued, with the exception of actions regarding non-payment, breach of Avidestal Technologies’ proprietary rights in the Software and Services, and any or all of the cases defined as follows:
1.1. Claims by the CLIENT regarding defects in the Services delivered by Avidestal Technologies shall be invoked by registered letter within a period of 5 business days of the date that the CLIENT has discovered or could reasonably have discovered the defect, in the absence of which the rights of the CLIENT shall lapse in respect thereof, provided that the CLIENT has not attempted to correct the alleged defect or trusted the correction with a Third Party without written consent of Avidestal Technologies;
1.2. Claims with respect to invoices shall be submitted to Avidestal Technologies within 10 business days of the invoice date, in the absence of which the rights of the CLIENT shall lapse in this respect.
2. No Claim as referred to under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article shall suspend the CLIENT's payment obligations.
CLIENT acknowledges that title in and rights to the Software and custom Design Services provided wholly by Avidestal Technologies to the CLIENT remain exclusively with Avidestal Technologies or a Third Party which has granted Avidestal Technologies the right to use and sublicense part of the Software. No stipulations arising from this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a transfer of title. CLIENT shall only be granted a License or right to use or apply the Software and/or custom Design Services for the purposes agreed upon together with this Agreement.
In the event that Avidestal Technologies incorporates any new features or functionalities upon request of the CLIENT into the Software, such new features and/or functionalities shall be the sole and exclusive property of Avidestal Technologies unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.
CLIENT retains the copyright to any and all custom design data, files and graphic logos provided by the CLIENT and grants Avidestal Technologies the rights to publish and use such Material. CLIENT must obtain permission and rights to use any information and/or files copyrighted by a Third Party and is further responsible for granting Avidestal Technologies permission and rights to use said information and/or files. CLIENT hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Avidestal Technologies from any and all claims, proceedings, penalties, payment of damages, liabilities, losses and other expenses resulting from CLIENT’s negligence or inability to obtain proper copyright permissions for data, files and graphic logos used in the custom design. Order conclusion and, subsequently, installation of custom design, created or otherwise arranged by Avidestal Technologies, in Software of Avidestal Technologies shall be regarded as a guarantee by CLIENT to Avidestal Technologies that such permissions have been fully obtained, with sufficient evidence of such acquisition. Avidestal Technologies reserves the right to deny service upon failure to provide such evidence.
Avidestal Technologies has taken sufficient (legal) measures to ensure that the use of the Software by CLIENT is ascertained in the event of any discontinuity of or in relation to Avidestal Technologies. Avidestal Technologies shall, upon request of CLIENT, provide insight into the measures taken by Avidestal Technologies.
Avidestal Technologies may allow re-use of custom design, at a price rate set by Avidestal Technologies, delivered wholly by Avidestal Technologies to the CLIENT, upon conclusion of new Order by the same CLIENT when the previous license to use said design has expired upon the termination of a former agreement between Avidestal Technologies and the CLIENT. Avidestal Technologies reserves the right to revoke such service.
Avidestal Technologies grants the CLIENT a non-exclusive license to use Avidestal Technologies’ trade name, service marks, logo, domain name and other brand features solely in connection with the use of the Services and in accordance with this Agreement. Avidestal Technologies may revoke this license to use these trade and service marks at any time.
Avidestal Technologies acknowledges that title in and rights to the custom design created wholly or partially by CLIENT for the front-end of Software, or a Third Party employed by the CLIENT, remain exclusively with CLIENT, or the Third Party which has granted CLIENT the right to use the custom design. This paragraph 1 of this Article shall not be deemed to apply to any design templates made available to the CLIENT by Avidestal Technologies before the installation of custom design created or otherwise arranged by the CLIENT.
For the convenience of and upon request by CLIENT, Avidestal Technologies may store the custom design, created or otherwise arranged wholly or partially by the CLIENT, for a default period of 12 months, unless requested otherwise by CLIENT. Due to the nature of data back-ups performed in favour of the CLIENT during the term of this Agreement, all design data, including any necessary documentation, files and graphic logos, cannot be completely destroyed earlier than 30 calendrical days of the date of termination of Agreement.
CLIENT hereby acknowledges that Avidestal Technologies shall assume no responsibility for the maintenance, adaptability and/or suitability of, or any changes in the design, in the execution of these Terms or general Services development of any other kind.
Avidestal Technologies may include, upon permission, the CLIENT's name and brand features in presentations, marketing materials, customer lists and financial reports.
Each party may have access to information that is confidential to the other party.
Avidestal Technologies’ confidential information shall include, but not be limited to, the Services, documentation, formulas, methods, know how, processes, designs, new products, developmental work, marketing requirements, marketing plans, CLIENT names, prospective CLIENT names, the terms and pricing under this Agreement, provided that it is clearly identified in writing at the time of disclosure as confidential and all information which CLIENT ought reasonably to regard as confidential.
Confidential information of any or both of the parties shall not include information that:
3.1. is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the other party;
3.2. was in the other party's lawful possession prior to the disclosure and had not been obtained by the other party either directly or indirectly from the disclosing party;
3.3. is lawfully disclosed to the other party by a Third Party without restriction on disclosure; or
3.4. is independently developed by the other party without use of or reference to the other party's confidential information.
This Article will not be construed to prohibit the disclosure of confidential information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or valid order of a court or other governmental authority; provided, however, that the responding party shall first have given notice to the other party and shall have made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order requiring that the confidential information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued.
The parties agree, unless required by law, not to make each other's confidential information available in any form to any Third Party (except third parties who are Users as defined hereunder) or to use each other's confidential information for any purpose other than in the performance of an Agreement. Each party agrees to take all reasonable steps to ensure that confidential information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in breach of the Agreement.
The parties agree to hold each other's confidential information in confidence during the term of the Agreement and for a period of 2 years thereafter. Each party acknowledges and agrees that, due to the unique nature of confidential information, there can be no adequate remedy at law for breach of this Article and that such breach would cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party. Therefore, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief, in addition to whatever remedies it might have at law or under an Agreement.
Avidestal Technologies hereby ensures that the obligations of confidentiality, as laid down in this Article, shall be agreed upon by any and all third parties to be involved in the performance of this Agreement. Avidestal Technologies shall, upon request by the CLIENT, provide a list of any such third parties upon entering into this Agreement with the CLIENT.
CLIENT shall indemnify and hold Avidestal Technologies harmless against any and all liability to third parties relating to use of the Software and/or the Services.
Avidestal Technologies’ liability arising from this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement shall be strictly limited to the total aggregate amount paid to Avidestal Technologies by the CLIENT pursuant to the agreement during a period of 12 calendrical months preceding the event causing liability. This limitation of liability is cumulative and not per incident.
Avidestal Technologies shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, however, caused and on any theory of liability, arising out of the Agreement, including but not limited to loss of anticipated profits, even if Avidestal Technologies has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This paragraph 3 of this Article does not limit liability for bodily injury inflicted on a private individual.
If a Claim is raised by a Third Party against Avidestal Technologies for any loss or damage for which the CLIENT is liable under this Agreement, the CLIENT shall fully indemnify Avidestal Technologies in this respect.
The liability of Avidestal Technologies for any shortcomings under the Agreement only arises if the CLIENT puts Avidestal Technologies into default without delay and by written notice, specifying therein a reasonable period for curing the identified shortcomings, and Avidestal Technologies keeps on failing imputably in the fulfilling of its obligations also after this period. The notice of default shall contain a detailed description of the shortcoming so that Avidestal Technologies will be able to respond adequately.
Any right to compensation only arises under the condition that the CLIENT informs Avidestal Technologies of the loss or damage immediately after the loss or damage has been sustained.
CLIENT shall be aware that Software and Services, bound by these Terms, may contain measurement, algorithmic or visualization errors, and shall not hold Avidestal Technologies responsible for said errors nor for misinterpretation of the (visualized) data by the CLIENT.
If during the term of the Agreement circumstances arise or become known of which Avidestal Technologies was not aware, nor ought to be aware of, as a result of which Avidestal Technologies is unable to (timely) fulfill its obligations with respect to the CLIENT, Avidestal Technologies shall not be in default and shall be entitled to suspend its obligations.
If Avidestal Technologies remains unable to comply with the performance as a result of the aforementioned circumstances, it shall be entitled to request that this Agreement is changed in such a way that the performance thereof remains possible unless such a change cannot reasonably be required from the CLIENT in the given circumstances and dissolution is justified. In the latter case, this Agreement shall be dissolved within 10 business days after the first request, without the CLIENT being able to assert any right to compensation.
The aforementioned circumstances include any and all circumstances beyond the control of Avidestal Technologies preventing the fulfillment of the Agreement either permanently or temporarily, as well as the following circumstances in so far as these are not yet included therein: war and the threat of war, riots, industrial actions, disasters and natural disasters, incidents, government measures, delayed supply or non-supply of sub-contractors of Avidestal Technologies, including fuel, power and water, transport problems, fire and breakdowns affecting the company of Avidestal Technologies.
With the Agreement Avidestal Technologies shall grant the CLIENT the License to use the Software made available to the CLIENT, including additions and new versions as defined by Avidestal Technologies, with due observance of the stipulations of these Terms.
CLIENT acknowledges that any and all Licenses are for use of CLIENT only and are not transferable to or usable by partners, colleague offices, clients or any other parties unless Avidestal Technologies has given its express permission. Any office that accrues data collected by the Software and/or uses the Services of Avidestal Technologies is hereby obliged to acquire its own License.
Clients are not entitled to issue any sub-licenses for use of the Software by partners, colleague offices, clients or any other parties, whether paid or unpaid.
For this License, CLIENT shall pay Avidestal Technologies a periodic License fee as referred to in the Agreement in its entirety.
For the purpose of Software maintenance, examples of which shall include Software fixes, error elimination and continuous development, Avidestal Technologies shall, upon the release of new versions of the Software, make these releases available to the CLIENT. Avidestal Technologies reserves the right to determine and/or modify the frequency, timing, extent and scope of such new releases.
In a particular case of Avidestal Technologies Cloud services, Avidestal Technologies shall provide the CLIENT with access to the control panel that enables one to perform these updates, in which case the CLIENT is responsible for (timely) update execution. CLIENT hereby acknowledges that (timely) update execution is crucial for proper maintenance of Software and shall not claim any damages arising from any errors, malfunctioning or decrease in functionality or performance stemming from failure to carry out said updates in a timely manner. Software versions older than 3 months are not supported.
Avidestal Technologies reserves the right, at all times, to perform updates without notice when Avidestal Technologies considers this necessary.
The amount of disk space to be covered by the License shall depend on a particular Order concluded between Avidestal Technologies and CLIENT. A default amount of disk space as specified on Avidestal Technologies’ pricing page shall be provided unless otherwise explicitly agreed between Avidestal Technologies and the CLIENT prior to Order Confirmation.
Additional disk space may be purchased at any time. If at any time, CLIENT’s used disk space exceeds the set limits, upon Avidestal Technologies’ written notice to CLIENT (email permitted), CLIENT shall have ten (10) business days to reduce or offset such excess, either by purchasing additional disk space or by purchasing a higher plan at the applicable pricing set forth herein, or by deleting Content. For the avoidance of doubt, Avidestal Technologies may require the CLIENT to execute additional documentation (e.g. Order Forms) to effectuate such additional purchases, and in the event that the CLIENT remains in excess of the associated limits after ten (10) business days and CLIENT has not yet executed and returned such documentation, Avidestal Technologies reserves the right to process a prospective Add-on or Upgrade Order Form for the additional Limits or new Plan at the then current list price via Avidestal Technologies’ billing system, with no signature required; provided, that CLIENT’s execution of this Order Form shall be deemed acceptance of such Add-on Order Form, which will be non-cancelable until the Contract End Date listed therewith.
CLIENT shall not be entitled to transfer disk space to any partners, colleague offices, clients or any other parties, whether paid or unpaid.
Avidestal Technologies shall take sufficient measures, including but not limited to email notifications, to educate and inform CLIENT about the state of disk space in use, disk space still available and management thereof.
Should the CLIENT exceed the limit of disk space provided, Avidestal Technologies shall be entitled to add additional disk space on behalf or at the expense of the CLIENT, without notice. In addition to that, the CLIENT hereby acknowledges that exceeding the disk space may result in and or all of the following implications:
5.1. Stability and reachability of the Software may be in jeopardy and possibly at risk of causing a server crash. CLIENT shall take full responsibility for such consequences and bear any and all costs necessary for the recovery of Services, including any and all damages caused to Avidestal Technologies;
5.2. Avidestal Technologies may temporarily disable the functionality of the Services to limit the non-essential growth to the extent that allows for enough disk space to be made available again. Examples of such include but are not limited to suspending Software updates, platform activation, platform creation, and possible other functionalities.
The member limit, Concurrent Users limit (CCU) and API rate limit (ARL) covered by the License shall depend on a particular Order concluded between Avidestal Technologies and CLIENT. Unless stated otherwise, a default of 100 members, 100 CCUs and an ARL of 200 shall be provided.
If at any time, CLIENT’s bandwidth exceeds the set limits, upon Avidestal Technologies’ written notice to CLIENT (email permitted), CLIENT shall have ten (10) business days to reduce or offset such excess, either by purchasing additional bandwidth or by purchasing a higher plan at the applicable pricing set forth herein, or by removing members, web traffic or API calls. For the avoidance of doubt, Avidestal Technologies may require the CLIENT to execute additional documentation (e.g. Order Forms) to effectuate such additional purchases, and in the event that the CLIENT remains in excess of the associated limits after ten (10) business days and CLIENT has not yet executed and returned such documentation, Avidestal Technologies reserves the right to process a prospective Add-on or Upgrade Order Form for the additional Limits or new Plan at the then current list price via Avidestal Technologies’ billing system, with no signature required; provided, that CLIENT’s execution of this Order Form shall be deemed acceptance of such Add-on Order Form, which will be noncancelable until the Contract End Date listed therewith.
Avidestal Technologies shall provide to the CLIENT, upon entering into this Agreement concluded between Avidestal Technologies and CLIENT, for the term of the Agreement, a non-exclusive and non-transferable right of access to the Services for the User’s use. This shall also include a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use any new releases, upgrades, modifications and/or changes of the functionality of the Software which are governed by this Agreement.
CLIENT shall be entitled to upgrade the combination of Services ordered from Avidestal Technologies at any moment in the execution of the Agreement. Service upgrades shall be processed by Avidestal Technologies as soon as it is possible with respect to specific Services requested. CLIENT shall be aware of the additional costs and/or change in regular costs caused by such upgrade.
CLIENT shall only be entitled to downgrade the combination of Services after the initial term of Agreement has ended.
Availability, accessibility and quality of the Software and Services shall be governed by a Service Level Agreement (SLA) made available to the CLIENT. This SLA shall apply to all Software and Services ordered by the CLIENT.
Unless otherwise expressly stated in a relevant SLA, Avidestal Technologies reserves its obligation as stated under these Terms and shall not be held liable by the CLIENT for any of the following:
2.1.unrestricted, undisturbed and uninterrupted access to and use respectively of the Software and Services;
