  1. Subject matter of the contract and scope of services

Butler Solutions GmbH shall provide the contractual partner with software (online) for the initiation and processing of test drives for motor vehicles and their transfer for use against payment in accordance with the following terms of use. For this purpose, Butler Solutions GmbH provides a script that can be integrated into the contractual partner’s existing IT system (e.g. on the contractual partner’s homepage). In the case of an event or a campaign, integration can also take place via a landing page created by Butler Solutions GmbH on behalf of the contractual partner.

Butler Solutions GmbH grants a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable right to use the aforementioned software by means of a browser and an Internet connection. The contractual partner’s right of use is granted for its own business purposes of the company or branch office named in the order form. If there are several branches, the license is valid for one of them. If necessary, the contractual partner shall immediately provide all cooperation and/or provision services required for the implementation of the software and undertakes to establish the technical requirements. If this is not successful, or if these cease to apply at a later date, the contractual partner must accept restrictions in usability without this constituting a case of warranty.

  1. Warranty

The software solution for online appointment and vehicle reservation (“the test drive butler”) is provided “as is”. In particular, Butler Solutions GmbH does not guarantee that the software meets the specific requirements of the contractual partner. The latter is solely responsible for the use of the software, in particular with regard to the selection, input and use of data and the results to be achieved with it.

The contractual partner shall not derive any claims from the temporary interruption or restriction of access to the software as a result of necessary maintenance work.

In the event of defects, Butler Solutions GmbH shall also be entitled to show the contractual partner ways of avoiding errors and – insofar as reasonable in view of the remaining possibilities of use – to remedy the defect later by adapting the software. If there is a significant defect which significantly impairs usability or functionality and which cannot be remedied in an economically justifiable manner within a reasonable period of time, the contractual partner may withdraw from the contract and demand reimbursement of the remuneration already paid by him. The fee paid for the use until receipt of a notice of defects will not be refunded.

  1. Contract term and termination

The contract for the provision of the reservation software is concluded as a subscription for a period of 12 months, if not for the event or campaign product. The subscription is automatically extended by one year and can be terminated in writing (including by fax and email) at the end of each contract year, but for the first time at the end of the second contract year, subject to a notice period of one month to the last day of each month. This does not affect the right to extraordinary termination for good cause.

He is advised that these must be exported in good time and, if necessary, saved for further use.

In particular, any warranty claims shall not entitle the contractual partner to withhold payments.

  1. Availability of services

Butler Solutions GmbH aims to achieve an annual average availability of 95% with regard to the operation and use of the reservation software. When calculating the percentage availability, the figures are rounded to one decimal place in accordance with commercial principles. The operating hours are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7). Exceptions to this are downtimes due to circumstances for which Butler Solutions GmbH is not responsible, such as downtimes due to virus or hacker attacks, downtimes due to force majeure (natural disasters, power failures), sabotage or for comparable reasons,

Downtimes due to incorrect operation by third parties, downtimes caused by third parties due to faulty or insufficient maintenance of the hardware and/or software, downtimes in connection with the use of unsupported software, in particular operating systems, browsers and end devices, downtimes due to failures of parts of the Internet, as well as external DNS, routing problems and the like, as well as downtimes due to planned interruptions for maintenance work that fall within announced maintenance windows.

  1. Technical changes

The contractual partner acknowledges that the reservation software provided is made available as “software as a service”, in which a number of contractual partners use a standardized software product that can be adapted to technical changes and further developed. It is therefore agreed that Butler Solutions GmbH may make changes or adjustments, in particular with regard to changes in the legal situation or jurisdiction, for the purpose of protecting system security or to prevent misuse. In addition, Butler Solutions GmbH is granted the right to take account of technical progress by deleting old functions and replacing them with new functions. In this context, Butler Solutions GmbH undertakes to notify the contractual partner of any changes to the usability and functionality of the software that are not merely insignificantly disadvantageous to the contractual partner, generally one month before they take effect, by displaying them in the back end of the system or in writing (also by fax or e-mail). If such a change jeopardizes the legitimate interests of the contractual partner to such an extent that it can no longer be reasonably expected to adhere to the contract, the contractual partner may terminate the contract by giving one week’s notice until the announced effective date of the adjustment. If the contractual partner does not exercise its right of termination in this respect, the amendment shall be deemed to have been approved.

Especially in the phases of booking, billing and data transfer to manufacturers and retailers, the contractor acts partly as a processor and partly as an independent controller.
