Terms of Service

Please read these Terms of Service for the Exolink Platform carefully and completely. By ordering a Plan you agree to these Terms of Service. The following terms of service apply between Exolink GmbH and the users (hereinafter referred to as "you") of the Exolink platform (hereinafter referred to as "Exolink"). Exolink is a low-code integration platform that makes it possible to create so-called workflows (data flows).

§ 1 Subject of the contract

(1) Exolink GmbH grants you the use of the latest version of the Exolink platform via the Internet via access through a browser in accordance with the plan you have selected: https://www.exolink.com/pricing

(2) You will receive worldwide, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-exclusive rights to the most current version of Exolink for the contractually specified number of users, limited to the duration of the plan, by accessing Exolink via a browser in accordance with the contractual use regulations. You are explicitly not granted any further rights of use, such as to the software, applications or code used, in particular the source code of the software components used or the applications or the operating systems of the servers on which the Exolink software is operated. This does not apply to included open source software or other third-party components. With regard to these parts of the program, Exolink GmbH only grants you a simple right of use, which entitles you to use them as intended. A physical transfer of the software components from Exolink does not take place.

(3) You may use Exolink only for business purposes as an entrepreneur within the meaning of Section 14 BGB (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch: Civil Code of Germany).

(4) Plan regulations take precedence over the general regulations of these Terms of Service.

§ 2 Availability

(1) Exolink GmbH guarantees an overall availability of Exolink of at least 99.9% per month at the delivery point. The customer's ability to use all main functions of Exolink within the meaning of § 1 of these Terms of Services is deemed to be availability. The measuring instruments from Exolink GmbH are decisive for the proof of availability. Announced maintenance times are considered times of availability.

(2) Exolink GmbH can update and further develop the software components of Exolink at any time and, in particular, adapt them due to a changed legal situation, technical developments or to improve IT security. Exolink GmbH welcomes your suggestions for improving Exolink at support@exolink.com; Exolink GmbH is not obliged to adapt Exolink to your individual needs or your IT environment.

(3) Exolink GmbH will take state-of-the-art measures to protect Exolink. However, Exolink GmbH does not have any custody or care obligations with regard to your data. You are responsible for adequate backup of your data. (4) If the availability defined in paragraph 1 is not reached, Exolink GmbH will refund part of the plan fee paid for one month. Reimbursement depends on the degree of shortfall and is based on the following table:

Deviation of the actual availability from the contractually guaranteed availability in percentage points Reimbursement
0,1% - 0,5% 5%
0,6% - 2% 10%
2,1% - 3% 20%
3,1% - 4% 30%
4,1% - 6% 40%
ab 6,1% 50%

The availability must be rounded to one digit after the decimal point to evaluate the reimbursement. An application for reimbursement is necessary and must be made in text form within three months after the end of the month or calendar year in question.

§ 3 Your obligations as a customer

§ 8 Final Provisions

(1) Should individual provisions of this contract be ineffective or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

The same applies in the event of a contractual gap.

(2) There are no verbal or written ancillary agreements to this contract.

(3) Exolink GmbH has the right to unilaterally adjust these provisions retrospectively if a change in market conditions, certain legal requirements or a supreme court ruling make it necessary to adjust the GTC. An adjustment will only be made to the extent that the previously unforeseeable events listed in sentence 1 of this paragraph necessitate an adjustment. Exolink GmbH is only entitled to change these provisions under the condition that it notifies the user of this at least six weeks before the change comes into effect. You can object to the change with a period of six weeks after receipt of the notification, otherwise the change is considered approved.

Terms of Service Developer Plan

The developer plan is offered with the aim and purpose of testing the functionality of Exolink and developing (new) workflows.

The workflows may only be used for test purposes (fair use); integration into live or productive systems is prohibited.

The Developer Plan gives you access to all existing Exolink components, but with no guarantee of full functionality. There are no promises or reimbursement claims regarding availability.

Developer Plans are free to use. Only one developer plan can be ordered per account. The amount of data for outgoing traffic is limited to 5GB in total per month.

The workflows are automatically saved and deactivated 8 hours after the last deployment. However, they remain in the account designer, from which they can be redeployed.

Exolink GmbH reserves the right to impose further restrictions on the Developer Plan offer, such as a shorter period of use, a limited range of functions, or to discontinue the offer completely.

Exolink GmbH is only liable for intent and gross negligence. Liability for indirect and unforeseeable damage, loss of production and use, loss of profit, missed savings and financial losses due to claims by third parties is excluded in the case of simple negligence - except in the case of injury to life or health. Any further liability than in this contract is excluded - regardless of the legal nature of the asserted claim. However, the above limitations or exclusions of liability do not apply to strict liability that is mandatory by law.
