-
The party contracting with Peter Steinberger (“steipete”) shall be referred to as “Customer” for purposes of these general terms and conditions (the “Conditions”). steipete and the Customer together are referred to as the “Parties”, each being a “Party”.
-
Any use of the steipete’s SDKs (the “steipete Technology”) by the Customer will at all times be subject to steipete’s User License Agreement (available at steipete.com/license).
-
Unless superseded by a separate written agreement between the two parties, these Conditions shall apply to and be binding with regards to all software support services (the “Services”) provided by steipete to the Customer. steipete hereby expressly rejects any and all of the Customer’s terms and conditions, such rejection to extend to all confirmations or communications made by the Customer which attempt to incorporate the Customer’s terms and conditions by way of reference. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that these Conditions (including any documents referred to herein) will be applicable to all Services provided by steipete.
-
steipete reserves the right to modify these Conditions at any time and for any reason; such changes may include, but are not limited to, the imposition of new or additional terms or conditions. Any modification of or amendment to these Conditions shall enter into force and be legally binding upon the Customer upon the expiration of one month following notification provided to the Customer. The amendment notification shall include information concerning the material contents of any amendment as well as a reference that any amendment shall become legally binding after the expiration of one month after the Customer’s receipt of the amendment notification, unless in case of continuous obligations between the Parties (e.g. monthly maintenance activities) the Customer objected to the amendment in writing within such one month period and terminates the contract in respect of the Services.
Software Support Services
-
steipete offers licensees of the steipete Technology the following Services:
-
Customizing and integrating the steipete Technology according to the Customer’s needs and requirements (the “Customization”), whereupon the Customer does not acquire any right to the source code of the steipete Technology or obtain any title thereto. The Customer may perform any Customization only if such Customization is within the scope of documentation made available to the Customer when downloading the steipete Technology. In addition, the Customer shall not acquire any right to review, inspect or change the parameter settings developed and blocked by steipete in order to customize the steipete Technology.
-
Technical support in the event that there are any questions concerning, or difficulties using, the steipete Technology.
-
Consulting services, especially in relation to the use of the steipete Technology or the Individual Software.
-
The Services shall be performed by steipete on the basis of information and documents provided by the Customer. Where necessary, the Customer shall make available test data at the Customer’s own expense and afford steipete the opportunity to carry out tests.
-
In respect of any Customization and/or Individual Software, the Customer shall make available relevant specifications at the Customer’s own expense. The Customer is responsible for the correctness and completeness of such specifications. steipete will review the documents and information provided by the Customer and, where reasonably necessary, steipete shall make changes in its sole discretion to ensure that the Services can be implemented by steipete accordingly. In respect of the agreed specification, steipete will provide the Customer with an offer concerning the price and estimated timing for the delivery of the Customization and/or Individual Software (the “Offer”) and, following the Customer’s confirmation of the Offer (the “Confirmed Specification”), steipete shall perform the Services on the basis of the Confirmed Specification. Any request by the Customer for any modification of or change to the Confirmed Specification following acceptance of the Offer, if feasible and subject to steipete’s acceptance, may result in changes to the Offer, including changes to the estimated deadlines and pricing arrangements. steipete is not required to accommodate any request for any modification of or change to the Confirmed Specification until the Customer has confirmed the relevant changes (e.g. to price and deadlines) to the Offer. All time estimations and deadlines are only reasonable guesses as to when work should be completed and by no means are firm or legally enforceable dates. Customer understands and agrees that in software development accurate estimation is nearly impossible and therefore agrees to accept delivery as soon as steipete in good faith can provide it.
-
In regards to the Customization and/or Individual Software, payment of the invoice following complete delivery shall be deemed acceptance by the Customer that the Customization and/or Individual Software conforms with the Confirmed Specification and that the Services were provided by steipete as agreed.
-
Should it prove that steipete is not able to complete the Services in accordance with the Confirmed Specification out of factual or legal reasons, steipete shall inform the Customer thereof. If the Customer does not adapt the performance specifications accordingly, steipete may reject performance of the Services. The Customer shall reimburse steipete for any costs already accrued.
Terms of Payment
-
Any Service will be charged at the prices agreed to between the Parties in the respective service order and/or other signed written agreement. If the estimated amount of time is exceeded due to the Customer’s fault, Services shall be charged according to actual time spent based on applicable hourly rates conveyed.
-
Unless agreed otherwise between the Parties, all prices shall be “ex works”, in Euros, plus applicable taxes, duties, levies and custom duties as well as reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses (e.g. packaging costs, costs of program carriers, costs of transportation and travel expenses, including travel times).
-
Invoices submitted by steipete to the Customer shall be due and payable without deduction within 21 days of invoicing. The Customer may not withhold or set off any payment for any reason whatsoever.
-
The Customer’s failure to comply with the agreed payment deadlines shall entitle steipete to discontinue its work and to withdraw from the contract. If the Customer is behind on payments, the Customer shall pay the statutory default interest. If the Parties agreed on payment by installments and the Customer fails to pay an installment when due, steipete may accelerate payment of all outstanding installments.
Place of Delivery
-
The place of delivery of steipete’s Services shall be the seat of steipete in Vienna, Austria.
-
The risk of transporting data and programs in digital form, including the risk of any manipulation of such data and programs, shall be borne by the Customer once steipete has made available a download or provided data to the Customer.
Delivery Dates
-
Unless expressly otherwise agreed between the Parties, any date or deadline for the delivery or completion of Services shall be deemed non-binding and illustrative.

-
steipete will endeavor to comply with the targeted deadlines for the delivery or completion of Services to the extent reasonably practicable.
