4 Provision of Services by FlyNex
4.1 FlyNex offers users of the services and/or downloads the purchase of usage rights (“license certificates”) for which a fee is charged. The purchase of a license certificate entitles the user to access the data, tools and storage capacities provided within the scope of these services and/or downloads. Access to and use of paid services and/or downloads without a license certificate is not permitted. If discounts or rebates are granted for the purchase of chargeable usage rights, these shall in each case relate exclusively to the first billing period.
4.2 The paid services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week with an availability of 99 % on an annual average. Excluded from this are downtimes due to maintenance and software updates as well as times in which the service cannot be accessed via the Internet due to technical or other problems that are beyond the control of FlyNex (force majeure, fault of third parties, etc.). In order to be able to use the services of FlyNex to the full extent, the user must use the latest (browser) technologies or enable their use on his computer (e.g. activation of Java script, cookies, pop-ups). If older or not commonly used technologies are used, the user may only be able to use FlyNex’s services to a limited extent. In the event that FlyNex services cannot be provided, even temporarily, the user shall not be entitled to any compensation. As far as the use of services that are not subject to a charge or test versions (referred to as “BETA version” to the user before the start of use) is concerned, FlyNex does not guarantee availability. When using the services via mobile devices, the user may incur additional connection costs on the part of his mobile phone provider; these costs are borne exclusively by the user.
4.3 A license certificate entitles the user to use the services identified in the respective license certificate from the time the license is concluded until it is terminated. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in a license certificate, the user shall receive a simple, non-exclusive right of use limited to the territory of the European Union, limited to the term of the license certificate and non-transferable to the extent and in the number stated in the license certificate. In particular, any reproduction or publication of information or pictorial representations, such as screenshots, without the prior consent of FlyNex is excluded. A change between the license models is possible – in accordance with the license models available on the websites in each case. A downgrade of the license models is generally not provided for and is subject to the individual agreement between the user and FlyNex. The passing on of the license to affiliated companies in the sense of § 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) is not considered a transfer. A license certificate also entitles the user, as the license holder, to grant guest access to the services to persons as defined in section 1.2. in accordance with the details of the respective license certificate (guest user). Guest access is subject to the content and limits of the contractual relationship between FlyNex and the user; in case of granting guest access, the user is fully liable for the acts and omissions committed by a third party by means of such guest access. In compliance with these principles, the guest access is freely transferable and is valid locally without limitation; however, the number of guest accesses granted according to the license certificates may not be exceeded in the total of simultaneous uses. The guest user is not entitled to allow or otherwise enable third parties to use the services. The user is obligated to inform the guest user about the content and limits of his contractual relationship with FlyNex and to ensure that the guest user complies with the legal and contractual regulations governing the use of the Services, in particular these Terms of Use. In case of violation by guest users, the user is liable to FlyNex for any damages incurred.

5.2 The user may place further orders in the course of using the Services. The GTC mentioned here shall apply to all further orders. The payment amount remains unchanged during the term of use of a paid service, unless the user changes the underlying parameters, in particular the number of managed objects, users, upgrades in the area of storage or additional functions as seen on the pages of FlyNex.

All payment details are provided exclusively by the user via “Stripe”. The user has the option to pay e.g. by direct debit or by credit card. The credit card or bank account will be debited after the order has been completed. If a payment by direct debit is cancelled via chargeback, FlyNex will issue a claim to the user in the amount of the invoice total, plus the costs incurred for the chargeback, as well as a processing fee. FlyNex is entitled to invoice its services electronically, especially to send invoices by e-mail.
