1. Scope and Parties

1. 1.1 These general terms and conditions ("Terms") apply to all contracts between EasyLife 365 AG (Schochenmühlestrasse 6, 6340 Baar, Switzerland; "Provider") and customers ("Customer") with regard to the use of the software EasyLife 365 ("Product"). The Terms, together with an offer and/or order confirmation sent by the Provider to the Customer, as well as all attachments to the respective documents, constitute the Agreement ("Agreement"). Unless otherwise agreed, the Terms also apply to the provision of services (including add-ons) related to the Product ("Services").
2. 1.2 The Terms shall apply as of the conclusion of the Agreement or upon Customer's use of the Product or Service, regardless of whether or how the Provider and the Customer have agreed on the provision of the Product or Services to the Customer. Unless otherwise agreed, this also applies to the use of any trial or demo version of the Product. The Terms are regarded as accepted as soon as the Customer installs the product to their Microsoft365 environment. (Admin-Consent / Onboarding-Wizard)
3. 1.3 Unless otherwise indicated or agreed, the Terms shall also apply with regard to preview, beta or other pre-release features of the Product or the Services ("Previews"). However, with regard to the provision of Previews, all obligations of the Provider arising from these Terms shall not apply. In particular, any warranty is excluded, no corresponding free support is promised and no service level is guaranteed. Previews may be subject to reduced or different security, compliance and privacy commitments and the Customer has therefore to refrain from providing and processing personal data in the context of the Previews. Therefore, the use of the Previews is at the Customer's own risk.
4. 1.4 The Terms shall also apply in the event that prior to the conclusion of the Agreement an intermediation by a distributor took place and/or the Customer and the distributor conclude a contract for the provision of services related to the Product. In case of conflict between the Agreement and the contract between distributor and Customer, the Agreement shall prevail.
5. 1.5 Any terms and conditions of the Customer shall apply only if the Provider expressly agrees to them. Furthermore, the Terms do not affect the application of Microsoft's terms and conditions for the use of Microsoft's products and services. The Customer is also obligated to comply with these provisions vis-à-vis the Provider.
6. 1.6 The Customer is obligated to impose the Terms on any (internal or external) user authorized by the Customer to use the Product. Customer is responsible for all user activities related to the Product that are carried out by any Person from Customer's network, account or tenant ("User").

2. Product and Services of the Provider

1. 2.1 With the conclusion of the Agreement, the Provider agrees to provide the Customer with the Product and to provide the Services in accordance with these Terms, the offer and/or the order confirmation. The Provider shall only be obliged to provide the Product with features or to provide services that are not mentioned in these documents, if this has been expressly agreed between the parties in writing. In the event of a conflict between the Terms and the offer or the order confirmation, the offer and the order confirmation shall prevail. With regard to updates and changes, reference must also be made to the provision in article 9.
2. 2.2 As specified in the offer and/or order confirmation, the Product is a software for the governance and provisioning of Microsoft 365 tools, for which Customer has been granted the appropriate license by Microsoft, and is hosted on the cloud computing platform Microsoft Azure. The Product is provided to the Customer – with the service level according to article 10 – against payment of the license fee in accordance with article 3 to use for a limited period of time specified in the offer and/or order confirmation. The Agreement will be automatically renewed at the end of this period in accordance with article 11.
3. 2.3 As specified in the offer and/or order confirmation, key components of the Product consist of Azure web apps and are, after completing the onboarding process (cf. article 4), accessible via a web browser and without prior installation on end devices. The hosting of the data necessary for the governance and provisioning of the Microsoft 365 tools (especially data of the administrators), in contrast to data generated by the use of the Microsoft Tools themselves (especially data generated by the end users), are hosted on the Microsoft 365 tenant of the Provider.
4. 2.4 In addition to the free support as part of the warranty with regard to defects in accordance with article 6, the Provider will provide support subject to fees as specified in the offer. Other Services such as consulting or training as well as the use of the PaaS offer of the Provider requires the conclusion of a separate agreement.
5. 2.5 The Product and the Services may include third-party products or services, in particular from Microsoft. The Provider has no influence on the provision of these services and in particular on the termination or modification of the tools for which the Product is used. The Provider is entitled to engage other or additional third parties for the provision of the Product and the Services. The Provider will inform the Customer about changes regarding third party products or services as soon as the Provider becomes aware of them, if this leads to a significant change in the contractual performance to be provided.
6. 2.6 The Provider may suspend the use of the Product if systems act or react in a way that deviates from the normal operating behavior and thereby compromises the security, confidentiality, availability, integrity and resilience of the systems, networks, programs, applications, scripts, apps, files and data of the Provider, other customers of the Provider as well as service providers or partners of the Provider. This also applies if the Provider has reason to suspect such an impairment on the basis of objective evidence.

3. Fees and Terms of Payment

1. 3.1 The remuneration to be paid for the Product and Services as well as the terms of payment are defined in the offer and/or order confirmation. Unless specified otherwise, the remuneration consists of a license fee for the use of the Product and a fee for the Services rendered and the following provisions shall apply.

3. 3.3 Unless specified otherwise, the Provider invoices license fees on an annual subscription model. The invoices will be sent each year in advance. The amount of the fees is generally based on the number of Microsoft 365 licenses of the Customer. However, the Provider may deviate from this principle in the offer, in particular, but not limited to Customers with a large number of F licenses or student licenses.
4. 3.4 Customer support as part of the warranty to remedy defects in accordance with article 6 is included in the license fee. Other Customer support (i.e. how to customize or use the product as well as rollout or handling related questions), extensions and other Services are not included in the licence fee and are charged to the Customer separately. Unless otherwise agreed, the Services will be invoiced on the basis of time and material and the hourly rates indicated in the offer will apply.
5. 3.5 The Provider reserves the right to adjust the fees at its sole discretion with prior notice to the Customer. Adjustments to the license fees will become effective in case of renewal of the annual subscription and will be notified at least 3 months in advance. The Customer is therefore free to terminate the current subscription in accordance with article 11 if he does not agree with such a change in fees. Any changes in the fees for Services, in particular the hourly rates, will be notified to the Customer 30 days prior to the effective date.
6. 3.6 If, during the term of the agreement, the number of licenses exceeds the number on which the license fee is based by more than 20%, the Provider has to be informed immediately in order to determine a new or additional fee. If the parties do not conclude a new agreement, Customer shall pay, as of the date the number of licenses is exceeded, a percentage increase of the current license fee corresponding to the percentage of the exceeded number of licenses (e.g. exceeding the number of licenses by 100% leads to a 100% increase of the current license fee). In the event that the number of licenses on which the license fee was based is exceeded by less than 20%, the license fee will only be adjusted for the new year in the event of renewal.
7. 3.7 The Customer shall not be entitled to set off any claim of the Provider against a claim the Customer has against the Provider.
