2.1 The offer provided on 360HR to use the web-based software designated and described there does not constitute a binding offer from 360HR.


2.2 The use of the 360HR software requires the creation of a customer account (hereinafter: account). To create the account, you must provide the required data and set a password. By confirming the creation of the account, the customer first makes a binding offer to conclude a contract for the use of the software, or, in individual cases, to use the software free of charge for test purposes. 360HR can accept this offer by setting up and granting access to the account or by sending a message to the specified email address with the access data for the created account.


2.3 By concluding a contract for free use, in accordance with Section 2.2, 360HR grants the customer the right to use the software exclusively for test purposes for 14 days from the granting of access to the software or notification of the access data by 360HR (test period). A test period will only be granted in exceptional cases. The test period can be extended upon request to 360HR. Whether the trial period is extended is entirely at the discretion of 360HR. After the test period has expired, the customer's account will be blocked. An automatic switch to a contract for the paid use of the software will only take place upon request.


2.4 After the test period in accordance with Section 2.3 has expired, the customer has the option of concluding a paid contract for the use of the software with 360HR. The customer can choose between the offered software versions

("Essentials", "Scale", "Enterprise")

 with different scopes of functionalities (“add-ons”) – with or without a “recruiting option” – for a fixed, maximum number of employees.

 

2.5 To create an offer and conclude a contract with monthly billing, the contract is concluded in the account itself. To do this, the customer must select the appropriate version and confirm their selection. Then, in addition to the company name and billing address, credit card data must also be entered. By confirming and sending this information, the customer concludes a contract for the paid use of the software with monthly billing with 360HR.

3. Services, change of versions


3.1 360HR provides the customer with access to the version of the software offered on 360HR and selected by the customer as Software-as-a-Service (hereinafter: SaaS) via the Internet for the term of a contract. The range of functions of the booked software version can be found in the description on the 360HR website under the heading “Prices” and “Functions”. Other services are not the subject of a contract for the (paid) use of the software. Such other services (e.g. the publication of job advertisements with other paid providers, (remote) support in the initial creation of an account) can be provided by 360HR on the basis of a separate offer.


3.2 In principle, the customer can switch between the versions of the software offered and the maximum number of employees that can be managed by a version at any time with effect from the time the customer access is changed by 360HR. The resulting remuneration is based on Sections 7.7 and 7.8 of these General Terms and Conditions.


3.3 Customers with a contract for paid use of the software with monthly billing can make this version change directly in their account. Customers with a paid contract to use the software with annual billing must contact 360HR customer support (support@360HR.io or +49 (0) 211 87 507 907) to change the version. If the customer switches to a version with a larger range of features or to a version with a larger number of employees to be managed during a current billing period, the customer can use the additional functions of the software or a larger number from the time the account is switched by 360HR manage employees. If the customer switches to a version with a lower range of features or with a smaller number of employees to be managed, the customer can only use the reduced functions of the software or a lower number of employees from the time the customer access is switched through 360HR.



4. Availability and response time in the event of disruptions


4.1 360HR guarantees 99% availability of the software provided as SaaS on an annual average. This does not apply to times when the server cannot be reached due to other technical problems that are beyond 360HR's control (in particular force majeure, fault of third parties). Also excluded are planned maintenance work (e.g. software updates) that are either outside the usual business hours from Monday to Friday (taking into account public holidays at the Düsseldorf location) between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., or that have been announced in advance in accordance with Section 4.2 became.

As far as possible, maintenance work is carried out outside normal business hours from Monday to Friday (taking into account public holidays at the Düsseldorf location) between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. If a maintenance measure results in an interruption in the use of the software of more than 30 minutes during normal business hours from Monday to Friday (taking into account public holidays at the Düsseldorf location) between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., 360HR will carry out this maintenance work via email - Announce mail. The announcement is made at least 24 hours in advance. At the customer's request, the announced maintenance work can be postponed, provided that this is justifiable from 360HR's perspective for technical and economic reasons.

In the case of minor errors that do not lead to a total failure of the software and occur during ongoing operation, 360HR will endeavor to respond no later than one working day after receipt of the error message.


4.4 In the case of fault reports that are received outside of support hours, the fault clearance begins on the following working day. Delays in troubleshooting for which the customer is responsible (e.g. due to unavailability of a contact person on the customer side or late reporting of the fault) will not be counted towards the troubleshooting time.

 

4.5 360HR endeavors to ensure the greatest possible availability of the 360HR website. 360HR assumes no responsibility for disruptions or unavailability that are due to reasons beyond 360HR's control (e.g. force majeure, external influences), or for intentional or grossly negligent actions by 360HR or its vicarious agents. 360HR reserves the right to temporarily restrict access to the 360HR website or its use in whole or in part if this is necessary with regard to capacity limits, the security or integrity of the servers or to carry out technical measures and this is necessary for the proper or improved provision of the SERVICES serves (e.g. for maintenance work).

The prices there are monthly net prices in euros and do not include VAT at the applicable statutory rate, if applicable. The amount of the monthly fee for using the software depends on the price range for the selected version of the software, which in turn depends on the desired scope of features (essentials, scale, enterprise) and the selected package size, i.e. the maximum number to be managed depends on the customer's employees and the additional add-ons booked and/or the booking of the recruiting option.

However, the parties agree that the period for prior notification of the SEPA direct debit will be reduced to one day.


7.6 In the event of a return direct debit (in particular due to insufficient funds in the account, due to expiration of the account, unjustified objection by the account holder or incorrect entry of account details), the customer authorizes 360HR to submit the direct debit again for the payment obligation due in each case. In such a case, the customer is obliged to pay the costs incurred by the returned direct debit. Further claims are reserved.


7.7 If the price range of the version increases during monthly billing due to a change in the number of employees or the scope of features (essentials, scale, enterprise, add-ons, etc.) (section 3.2), 360HR will provide the difference between the advance payment already made and the changed price by the end of the billing month either immediately or with the following invoice for the next billing month. If the price range of the version is reduced due to a change in the number of employees or the scope of features (essentials, scale, lead, add-ons, etc.) during the billing period (section 3.2), the customer is not entitled to (pro-rata ) Refund of the advance payment already made.


7.8 Should the price range of the version change due to a change in the number of employees or the scope of features in the case of annual billing

("Essentials", "Scale", "enterprise")

 increase during the billing period (Section 3.2), 360HR will additionally invoice the difference between the advance payment already made or the amount already invoiced and the amount based on the changed price until the end of the annual term (accurate daily billing). If the price range of the version is reduced due to a change in the number of employees or scope of features (essentials, scale, enterprise, add-ons, etc.) during the billing period (section 3.2), the customer is not entitled to (pro-rata ) reimbursement of the advance payment already made.

In this case, the customer remains obliged to continue to pay the agreed remuneration plus any default interest. Any damage caused to the customer by the blocking for this reason cannot be asserted against 360HR. Furthermore, 360HR has no right to block access to the software. Furthermore, in the event of default, the legal provisions of Sections 286, 288 BGB or other relevant legal provisions apply.

8.3 For contracts for paid use of the software with annual billing, a minimum term of one year applies. After the minimum term has expired, the contract is extended by extension periods of one year each, unless the customer gives notice of three months before the start of an extension period. For the extension of the contracts for the paid use of the software with annual billing, 360HR will provide the customer with a new annual bill for transfer no later than two weeks before the start of the new extension period.


8.4 360HR has the right to terminate contracts for the paid use of the software with monthly billing with a notice period of two weeks and contracts for the paid use of the software with annual billing with a notice period of three months to the end of the respective billing period.
