Preamble

Realcube GmbH (below referred to as “Realcube” or “we”) offers a platform for app-based real estate management (“AIM”) for owners and operators of real estate as a SaaS system over the Internet. These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) regulate the contracts concluded between the respective customer and Realcube regarding the use of the AIM.

1. Scope

1.1. These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) govern the contracts concluded between the respective customer and Realcube regarding the use of the AIM, unless otherwise expressly agreed between the customer and Realcube in writing. In addition to these General Terms and Conditions, when concluding a contract for the full version (see Section 2.3 below), the contract for the order processing of personal data and the price list that may be valid at the time the contract is concluded also apply, unless the price has been expressly agreed.

1.2. We will not accept any deviating or conflicting conditions unless we have expressly agreed to them.

1.3. The target is provided exclusively to entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 BGB and the contract is concluded exclusively with entrepreneurs. Use by and conclusion of a contract with consumers is not possible.

2. Subject of the contract

2.1. The subject of the contract is the provision of access to the AIM operated by Realcube via the Internet with the availability defined in Section 3 via a user account created for the respective customer and the storage and processing of the data recorded by the customer in his account in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions.

2.2. Realcube provides the customer with the AIM in the current version for the purpose of managing one or more buildings or units with the current functionalities, whereby at least in the full version (see section 2.3) functionalities for the management of master data, Documents and technical systems, the creation and management of contracts, as well as functions for attributing buildings and units and filter creation are included and the AIM has an open 2-way API that can be used to run applications not developed by Realcube according to the ones developed by Realcube to create predefined interface definitions and connect them to the AIM. Additional functionalities may be offered, but they are not owed and can be discontinued.

2.3. The AIM is offered in a paid full version and in a free trial version. The trial version may have a limited range of functions compared to the full version. In the trial version, the customer is not allowed to enter any personal data other than their own in their account.

2.4. To the extent that Realcube offers as part of the open 2-way API to create applications not developed by Realcube according to the interface definitions specified by Realcube and connect them to the AIM, Realcube only owes the correct functioning of the interface according to Realcube's interface definition Applications developed by Realcube in a specific form are not owed by Realcube, but exclusively by the customer's other contractual partner.

3. Availability

3.1. There is no specific availability for the trial version.

3.2. The full version of AIM is available to the customer with an average availability of 99.5%, based on the month, less scheduled maintenance work of a maximum of one hour per week. Availability refers to the quality owed by Realcube of the AIM offered to the customer for use at the transfer point to the Internet. Impairments in the area of data transmission from this transfer point to the customer and/or in the area of the customer's IT system itself are not taken into account.

Scheduled maintenance work will be communicated to the customer at least seven days before it is carried out.

When calculating actual availability, downtimes that cannot be attributed to Realcube are considered available times. These harmless downtimes are:

• maintenance or other services agreed with the customer that go beyond scheduled maintenance work that do not make access to the AIM possible;

unforeseeably necessary maintenance work, if this work was not caused by a breach of Realcube's obligations to provide the services (force majeure, in particular unforeseeable hardware failures, strikes, natural events, etc.); Downtimes due to virus or hacker attacks, insofar as Realcube has taken the agreed or, in the absence of an agreement, the usual protective measures;

• Downtime due to unavailability of the customer's equipment or due to other interruptions caused by the customer (e.g. failure to cooperate on the part of the customer);

• Downtime for the installation of urgently needed security patches;

• Downtime due to software errors in customer applications or due to errors in system and system-related software triggered by customer applications or data;

• Downtime caused by third parties (persons not attributable to Realcube).

4. Conclusion of contract and conclusion of the contract

4.1. The contract for the trial version can only be concluded online via a website operated by Realcube.

4.2. The contract for the full version can, if offered, be concluded either via a website operated by Realcube or offline by accepting an offer from Realcube.

4.3. If the contract is concluded offline, it comes into existence when Realcube receives the signed acceptance of the contract offer in the original or copy, as a PDF or in another electronic form from the customer. Contractual offers made by Realcube that change the content of the contract are considered a new offer from the customer; the contract is only concluded through explicit acceptance by Realcube provision of a service is not considered an implied acceptance.

4.4. If the contract is concluded online, it can be concluded in German or English and is concluded via the following technical steps:

• The customer fills out a form provided online by Realcube with the required information. Before submitting his declaration of intent, he can check the information entered in the form for input errors and correct any errors that are identified;

• The customer clicks the button on the form and sends his contractual declaration to Realcube;

• Realcube confirms receipt of the contractual declaration to the customer electronically to the email address provided by the customer. This declaration of access does not constitute acceptance of the customer's offer, unless acceptance of the offer is expressly declared in this email or the customer is expressly informed that he can activate his account;

• Realcube sends an express declaration of acceptance of the customer's offer, if this has not already been done with the confirmation of receipt, as explained above.

After the contract has been concluded, Realcube saves the customer's entries for contracts concluded online. The customer can request the details of his contract from Realcube at any time, but these entries are not immediately accessible to the customer after the contract has been concluded. We therefore recommend keeping a copy of the data entered.
