3.1 The subject of the contract is the provision of the SaaS service zenloop ORM ordered by the Customer and agreed upon in the individual contract as well as the provision of further additional services, if and to the extent stipulated in the individual contract.

3.2 The contract is concluded by mutual signing of the individual contract in written or digital form.

3.3 zenloop reserves the right to change or amend these terms and conditions with effect for the future if the change is

a) becomes necessary due to legal or official requirements;

b) serves to adapt to technical progress, as long as this does not result in any significant restrictions for the SaaS services used by the Customer or if an alternative service is available that includes a comparable service. An adjustment of the ToS is always permissible without any compensation for disadvantages as far as a corresponding change has already been agreed upon between zenloop and the Customer upon conclusion of the contract. This applies in particular if it was agreed with the Customer that certain SaaS services will be updated and/or replaced by zenloop if necessary.

3.4 zenloop shall inform the Customer about any changes and amendments by notifying the Customer about the content of the changed or amended provisions with reasonable notice in advance in text form (e.g. by email or by notification when logging on to the Platform), but at least four weeks before the changes/amendments are planned to take effect. The changes/additions shall be deemed accepted by the Customer if the Customer does not object to the changes/additions in text form within four weeks of receipt of the notification. If, on the other hand, the Customer objects in accordance with the above sentence, the contract shall continue to apply under the previous terms and conditions without amendment.

4. Scope of Service, Right to Modify

4.1 zenloop provides the SaaS services which are the subject matter of the contract to the Customer for temporary use via remote access over the internet. For this purpose zenloop stores the Platform on a server which is accessible to the Customer via an internet connection.

4.2 The concrete scope of services and functions of the SaaS services as well as the scope of other contractual services result from the individual contract and the respective service description or product order page.

4.3 The services within the SaaS service zenloop ORM are initiated by the Customer, i.e. the Customer decides which publicly accessible online rating data is retrieved by zenloop ORM on the Providers’ online platforms and displayed in zenloop ORM. Insofar as the Providers of the online platforms provide their own general terms and conditions and/or other guidelines (“Third Party T&Cs”) for the retrieval of online rating data and the subsequent reaction of the Customer, if any, these must be additionally confirmed and observed by the Customer for the use of zenloop ORM. The respective Provider is solely responsible for the content of such Third Party T&Cs, zenloop has no influence on this.

4.4 The connection of the Customer to the internet and the maintenance of the network connection as well as the procurement and provision of the hardware required for this on the part of the Customer is not subject matter of the contract. The Customer is obligated to create and maintain the technical requirements for access to the SaaS services in his area at his own expense and risk.

4.5 zenloop shall take appropriate precautions against data loss and to prevent unauthorized access of third parties to the Customer and online rating data, as far as this is possible with reasonable economic and technical effort. In particular, zenloop shall make regular backups and implement firewalls in their cloud infrastructure. zenloop shall further implement static applications security testing (SAST), image container scanner and dependency scanner in order to prevent unauthorized access to the Customer and online rating data.

4.6 zenloop continuously develops and improves the SaaS services and the Platform. Updates to the core product are generally provided to the Customer free of charge. However, if such updates are extensive updates and enhancements of the functionality (e.g. the addition of modules) of the Platform or the SaaS service in question, zenloop may classify them as a new product or upgrade and provide them to the Customer for an additional fee. If zenloop provides such upgrades and enhancements free of charge, the Customer shall have no claim to their provision. zenloop shall inform the Customer about the discontinuation of the free of charge services.

4.7 zenloop reserves the right to make changes to adapt the Platform and SaaS services to the state of the art, changes for optimization purposes, in particular to improve user-friendliness, as well as changes to content, provided that the latter are necessary to correct errors, to update and complete, for program-technical optimization or for licensing reasons. If such a change leads to a not only insignificant downgrading of the contractual services, the Customer may either demand a reduction of the remuneration in accordance with the downgrading or terminate the contract without notice. The right of termination may be exercised within a period of eight weeks from the occurrence of the change.

5. User Account, Access Data

5.1 The Customer’s access to the SaaS services is password-protected via the Platform using the access data assigned to the Customer by zenloop. zenloop shall provide the Customer with the number of access data agreed upon in the individual contract. For technical reasons, the communication of the access data for a personal login is exclusively done by encrypted link via e-mail. Therefore, the Customer is obliged to provide zenloop with the corresponding e-mail addresses of the authorized users. The access data are individualized and may only be used by the respective Customer or the Authorized Users. The Customer has to instruct the Authorized Users to choose a sufficiently secure password and to keep the access data including the password secret and to protect it from unauthorized access by third parties. For security reasons and to prevent misuse, zenloop recommends the Customer to change passwords at regular intervals.

5.2 Passing on access data or otherwise allowing or enabling third parties to use the user account or the SaaS services is strictly prohibited.

5.3 The Customer is obligated to inform zenloop immediately in case of knowledge or suspicion of misuse of access data or passwords. zenloop is entitled in case of misuse or suspicion of misuse.

5.4 zenloop is entitled to block access to the Platform until the circumstances have been clarified and the misuse has been stopped. zenloop also reserves the right to change the Customer’s access data for security reasons; in such a case, zenloop will inform the Customer immediately. The assertion of further rights and claims by zenloop, especially claims for damages, remain unaffected.

6. Availability of the SaaS Services (Service Level Agreement – SLA)

6.1 zenloop shall provide the SaaS services to the Customer during the term of the agreement with an availability of 99.5% (per calendar year). The availability of the SaaS services at the transfer point of the system to the Internet is decisive.

6.2 The availability is calculated according to the following formula:

Availability = (Total Time – Total Downtime) / (Total Time * 100%).

When calculating the total downtime, the following times are not taken into account:

a) Periods of unavailability due to planned maintenance work on the Platform that is regularly carried out between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. in the evening (CET), with a maximum downtime of 1.5 hours per week;

b) Periods of unavailability due to maintenance work performed weekly on Tuesday and Thursday between 10:00 a.m. and 10:20 a.m. (CET);

c) Periods of unavailability due to planned activities to improve, expand or renew the SaaS Services, which are carried out on weekends;

d) Periods of unavailability due to mandatory unscheduled maintenance work required to eliminate disruptions; zenloop will notify the Customer of this by posting a notice on the Website, if possible;

e) Periods of unavailability due to internet malfunctions or other circumstances beyond zenloop’s control, especially force majeure;

f) periods of unavailability which are based on the fact that the necessary technical requirements to be created by the Customer for access to the SaaS services are not or temporarily not given, for example in case of malfunctions of the Customer’s hardware.

7. Support

7.1 zenloop shall provide the Customer with free Customer support at various service levels in order to deal with faults with the SaaS Services. Depending on the Customer’s choice, Customer support shall be provided by the Customer Success Manager assigned to the Customer (by phone or email), by zenloop’s general email support (which is available at: support@zenloop.com), or by live chat via the Website.

Requests received outside of these support hours shall be deemed to have been received during the next working day. During business hours, the initial response to all support requests shall occur within no more than 24 hours. All support requests shall be processed as quickly as possible and prioritised according to the following disruption severity levels:

a) First severity level: Critical software fault leading to a total failure of the SaaS Services.

b) Second severity level: The use of the SaaS Services is considerably limited, as the main features of the SaaS Services are not available.

c) Third severity level: Minor faults affecting non-essential features of the SaaS Services.
