Platform’ refers to the execution context of the generated program which includes at least one of the components, stated as Software. It can be distinguished into Engineering and Deployment platform. The Engineering platform depicts the system, which is used for creating the product, while the Deployment platform depicts the targeting runtime environment.

Mobile Platform’ means Apple iOS 64bit, Android 32bit ARM and Windows UWP 64bit targets, Apple macOS, where a single application can be identified through a unique application identifier.

HoloLens Platform’ refers to Microsoft HoloLens devices. While a single HoloLens device can be identified by its hardware identifier (HostID) in combination with an application identifier or unique applications identifier.

Desktop Platform’ means a Windows 32bit or 64bit NON-UWP, or macOS application, where a unique hardware identification key can be created from the system (HostID).

Licensed Computer System’ means the computer configuration and operational environment specified in the Personal License File on which the Software is licensed to run and deployed.

Personal License File’ contains at least the following details:

o   Bundle options

o   Fragmentation options

o   Runtime expiration date of the license

 

Bug fixes’ are error corrections of the supplied functionality without altering or extending its manner and/or scope of functioning.

Updates’ are minor extensions to the supplied functionality and/or replacement of the manner of functioning of a supplied functionality by a newer functionality which has improved characteristics but which does essentially retain the original functional scope and/or implements it differently.

Upgrades’ are major extensions to the supplied functionality; they generally refer to completely new functionalities which did not exist and/or were not provided for in the scope of delivery to date.

Release’ is a further development of the Software which is offered to all Licensees of this Software.  A release shall be named vYY.MM.nn, nn = 1, 2, … and shall be numbered consecutively, YY= Short Year, MM = Month.

  1. Software maintenance

9.1   Subject-matter of performance

The Licensor shall render maintenance services for the Licensee over and above the warranty for material defects and for the fitness of use for the Software.

9.2   Service levels

9.2.1        The Licensor undertakes that it can be reached by the Licensee via the Licensor E-mail Maintanance and Support Center within the period stated in the Personal Licence File and that it shall support the Licensee with its inquiries regarding the use and concerning the Software through a qualified member of staff.

9.2.2        The Licensor shall respond to Software faults notified to it without delay within its business hours and shall undertake the rectification of the fault according to urgency in coordination with the Licensee within a reasonable period for the Licensee.

9.2.3        All Services will be performed within the Licencor’s normal working hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. (17:30) Monday to Friday with the exception of the uniformly applicable German public holidays and the business-free days according to the notification of the German Federal Bank [Deutsche Bundesbank].

9.3   Adaptation in line with an alteration to the technical and specialist environment

The Licensee – against the payment of corresponding additional remuneration – may request of the Licensor software alterations which arise from an alteration to the technical or specialist environment. In this case, the Licensee must provide to the Licensor the know-how available at its company as well as manuals or other documents free of charge in so far as this is necessary for the software alterations.

9.4   Manner of the rendering of performance

9.4.1        The further development of the Software by the Licensor shall in principle only be effected on the basis of the latest Software versions in each case and shall be concluded with a new release.

9.4.2        The new or altered functionalities developed in a release (incl. upgrades) shall be offered for lease to the Licensee in specialist units.

9.4.3        Corrections of faults and to a limited extent commissioned work shall be undertaken on a release previously supplied to the Licensee and which is still used by it. Accordingly, an vYY.MM.nn update shall be created as a copy with regard to the latest development, in which respect vYY.MM.nn shall denote the respectively supplied release which is in use.

9.4.4        In principle, three months after the Licensor has surrendered a new release to the Licensee, fault corrections and eliminations regarding old or previous releases shall no longer be offered and undertaken by the Licensor free of charge.

9.4.5        The Licensor is not obliged to keep available in its own office all system components present at the Licensee in the form of operating systems, databases and third-party software.

The Licensee is aware that in spite of careful checking not all influences of a newly introduced system component can be recognised in advance. Consequently, the Licensor shall rectify the malfunctioning of a component during the maintenance or provide a replacement free of charge if the use of the component was occasioned by the Licensor and the component had previously functioned and the environment of the component, including external interfaces, had not been altered. If the use of a component is exclusively occasioned by the Licensee and if this component is not of general interest for several Licensees, then the Licensor can rectify occurring faults at the Licensee’s expense or oblige it to replace the component by another component.

9.4.6        The Licensor shall document all alterations which result in a new release and shall put them at the Licensee’s disposal when supplying the Software. In addition to the alteration regards content, the alteration documentation shall also contain the reasons for the alteration as well as information on undertaking the test of the alteration.

9.4.7        The deliveries of releases and updates shall in each case contain the relevant documentation, alteration documentation as well as the necessary tools and instructions for installation.

9.4.8        So that maintenance can be undertaken in an optimum manner, the Licensee should according to its stipulations grant the Licensor remote access. Reference is accordingly made to Section 14 regarding confidentiality and data protection.

9.5   Special additional services

9.5.1        On request and at an additional charge, the Licensor shall offer the Licensee user and staff training for the respectively Software.

9.5.2        The Licensor shall similarly render installation, support and training, as well as maintenance services, which are not part of the subject-matter of the agreed software maintenance, on request and at an additional charge.
