(2) Unless otherwise stated in the respective product description, one licence entitles the customer to use the software on a single installation.

§ 10 Right of Withdrawal
(1) Consumers are generally entitled to the statutory right of withdrawal.
(2) In the case of contracts concerning digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, performance of the contract shall commence once the digital content has been made available, provided that the customer has expressly consented to the commencement of performance before expiry of the withdrawal period and has acknowledged that, by doing so, they lose their right of withdrawal.

(4) Further details are set out in the separate Withdrawal Policy.
(5) In the case of subscriptions consisting of the continuous provision of digital content, the following shall apply: where the customer expressly agrees that the Provider shall begin providing the first subscription period before the withdrawal period expires and acknowledges that this results in the loss of the right of withdrawal for the period already provided, the right of withdrawal shall expire to that extent pursuant to Section 356 (5) of the German Civil Code (BGB). The right of withdrawal with regard to subsequent subscription periods not yet provided shall remain unaffected for as long as the contract as a whole remains subject to withdrawal.

(2) The Provider warrants that the software conforms to the agreed contractual specifications.
(3) Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the Provider does not warrant unrestricted compatibility with all hardware and software environments used by the customer.

(3) If payment for a subscription remains outstanding despite the expiry of a reasonable grace period, the Provider shall be entitled to suspend access to the subscribed service and terminate the subscription for good cause. Any further statutory claims shall remain unaffected.

(4) If the customer does not exercise this special right of termination, the subscription shall continue at the adjusted price.
§ 18 Availability

(2) Maintenance work, security updates and other technically necessary measures may result in temporary restrictions or interruptions of the services.
(3) The customer shall have no entitlement to any specific level of availability unless expressly agreed otherwise.
§ 19 Final Provisions
(1) The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
