(3) Exclusively these Terms of Use shall be applicable. Any deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of business of the User shall solely then and insofar become an integral part of the contract, to the extent that deepinvent has expressly agreed to its applicability in the written form. This approval requirement shall under all circumstances be applicable, e.g. also then, if by bearing knowledge of the User's general terms and conditions of business, deepinvent should commence providing services towards the User without reservation,.

(4) Singular agreements with the User in individual cases (including side-agreements, supplements and amendments) shall under all circumstances take precedence over these Terms of Use. A written agreement or written confirmation by deepinvent shall be decisive as regards the content of such agreement.

(5) Declarations and notifications with legal relevance, which have to be delivered by the User towards deepinvent after conclusion of the agreement (e.g. setting of deadlines, notification of defects, declarations of withdrawal or reduction), have to be in the written form in order to be valid and effective.

Decompiling shall solely be permissible, if the User should prove a justified interest worthy of protection as regards carrying out such action.

(9) The User shall under no circumstances change copyright notices, serial numbers, version numbers, trademarks or any other identification marks from the Freeware. The same shall apply to suppression of on-screen display of corresponding characteristics.

§ 3 Third Party Software ("Software from other Manufacturers"), Open Source Software

The Freeware could contain components of third party software and/or open source software, in regard to which separate terms of use have to be observed. If this should be required towards legitimate use of the Freeware, the respectively prevailing terms of use pertaining to such third party software or open source software shall be displayed on the deepinvent website.

(3) deepinvent shall solely be liable for the loss of data, if the User backs-up such data in machine-readable format at intervals appropriate to the application, this being no less than once per day and thus warranting that such data can be restored by applying reasonable effort and costs. In the event that the User should not carry out such data back-up procedures, deepinvent's liability shall be restricted to the efforts and costs, which would have been necessary towards restoring data from due and proper data back-up, as well as the damages caused due to the loss of active data, which data would have also been lost in the event of daily data back-up.
