1.2 Services associated with the Software are mainly supplied within the Atlassian Cloud environment (hereinafter: “Atlassian Cloud”).  Seibert has no direct access to the Buyer’s data, other than for a short time to supply Cloud Services. This includes content creation, editing, and storage and all other data produced with the Software by the Buyer in the Atlassian Cloud (hereinafter: Application Data). Only technical staff running the service can possibly access the Buyer’s data. It is solely used to supply Cloud Services of the Software (hereinafter: Application Data).

2. Right of Use, Multiple Use and Use on Networks

2.1 Seibert grants the Buyer a non-exclusive, non-transferable a) licence to use the Software as acquired from an approved source, for the direct benefit of Seibert during the term of this Agreement and as set out in Buyer’s Licence specifically acquired and this EULA (collectively, the “Usage Rights”). “Cloud Service” means that Seibert is hosting the Software or parts of it as a software-as-a-service for the Buyer. This “Cloud Service” is a Seibert Cloud Service. It should not be confused with the cloud service that Atlassian is offering. The Atlassian Cloud Service is clearly described as from Atlassian in this document. 

2.2 These Usage Rights may only be exercised by the maximum number of users for whom the Buyer owns an Atlassian core software licence(s) such as Confluence and/or Jira. 

2.3 It is prohibited to provide the Software to more users than contractually agreed. A higher user-number package must be purchased if the number of users exceeds the contractually agreed upon number of users. The Buyer agrees to pay the difference through a new transaction in the Atlassian Marketplace (upgrade).

2.4  Seibert keeps Cloud Services available for use on a central data processing system that is not part of the Atlassian Cloud (see § 1.2).

2.5 All Application Data remains, at rest,  on the Atlassian Cloud.  The Software will be available in accordance with the Atlassian availability standards.

2.6 All Application Data remains, at rest, on Servers controlled by Seibert with the Google Cloud Infrastructure. Parts of it are accessible through Atlassian Confluence Cloud, or Atlassian Jira Cloud.

2.7 The point of interconnection for the Software and Application Data is, in most cases, the user’s web browser. Seibert is neither responsible nor liable for the quality of the necessary hardware and software utilized by the Buyer nor for the telecommunications connection between the Buyer and Seibert up to the point of interconnection. Especially for browser software, Seibert requires the Buyer to use current versions of major internet browsers and at least those web browsers required by Atlassian for their core products.

2.8 The Buyer agrees to take suitable precautions to prevent any unauthorized third-party access to the software. The Buyer’s license key is to be kept in a place secured against any unauthorized access by third parties. The Buyer's employees are required to comply with the present terms of this Agreement as well as with copyright law (duty of care).

8.1 Seibert offers solely the following support channels:

1. Publicly accessible documentation at:
   https://appanvil.atlassian.net/l/cp/AyMQcGEe
2. Publicly accessible Helpdesk for registering new support tickets at:

8.2 Seibert endeavours to be easily available during the support hours set out in paragraph 10.3  below, via email, chat, Atlassian forums, Seibert’s forums, social media, and other channels. However, availability is at the discretion of Seibert.

9. Included Services

9.1 The following support services are exclusively offered by Seibert:

1. Investigation of problems with the software, possibly using remote access (troubleshooting) in presence of customer (like a remote desktop sharing session),
2. Analysis of errors and investigation of the underlying causes of the reported problems (root cause analysis),

The above-mentioned services are final. Furthermore, Seibert is not obliged to provide further services, in particular Seibert is not obliged to provide installation, customization, programming, consulting, and training services.

9.2 Seibert shall use reasonable endeavors to  resolve documented, reproducible errors in the software (support services) using competent personnel and according to accepted industrial standards. Seibert is not responsible for the success of the resolution of errors and assumes no guarantee in this respect. For the purposes of this contract, an ‘error’ is a material non-compliance between the functionality of the Software with the Documentation for the Software, reported by the Buyer, which occurs other than by user error. If an error cannot be reproduced by Seibert, it is not considered an error. The non-compliance has to cause a loss of functionality permanently and significantly. In this case, the parties shall endeavor to reach an agreement on the action to be taken. 

9.3 Anonymous tracking can help to improve the software. For Linchpin Intranet and Aura, we do use the power of anonymous tracking with an opt-out mechanism:

• Learn more about anonymous tracking in Linchpin here.

1. in the event of errors resulting from unauthorized modifications or alterations to the software;
2. if the installation of the current or previous software versions as well as the delivered error solutions were not carried out, unless the delivered versions or error solutions are faulty;
3. for software versions that were released more than 18 months before the error was reported for Software versions released a period (e.g., more than one month) before the Buyer reported the error. This timeline is dependent on if and how Atlassian allows the Buyer to hold back updates (“Release Track”) for their instances in the Atlassian Cloud.
4. in the event of errors due to unauthorized use of the software or incorrect operation, unless the software is used in accordance with the user documentation; 
5. for software provided by the developer that is:

1. no longer developed or supported (end-of-life status);
2. intended to be used for test purposes and is therefore an unfinished version of the software (beta version);
3. created as a final test version (release candidate);
4. a development version (development release);

1. for any hardware defects; 
2. when the software is used on hardware and operating system environments other than those specified in the user documentation;
3. in the event of disruptions caused by force majeure or similar circumstances;
4. alterations made to the software made by the Buyer in breach of the contract;

Work days include Monday to Friday, with the exception of all public holidays in the state of Hessen, Germany, in addition to the following days: 24 December and 31 December. Seibert reserves the right to change support times as needed.

10.4 Processing of support cases, taking into account the reaction and solution times specified in clauses 12, 13, shall be carried out during the support hours specified in paragraph 3.

11. Error Classification Levels

11.1 In the case of error reports, the processing of the support cases is carried out within the response and resolution times specified in clauses  12, 13. The response and resolution times depend on the classification level; The following error classification levels apply:

1. Priority 1: Critical error. The use of the software is impossible or significantly restricted. A significant limitation exists where the software no longer works and no functional workaround can be achieved. 
2. Priority 2: Other disturbances. Any other problems with the software.

11.2 Seibert shall strive to handle all support cases in a timely manner. Priority 1 errors are given priority over priority 2 errors, independent of the time at which they were registered in the support system.

12. Response Time

12.1 Response time is the period between the report of an error and the first action taken by Seibert. The period starts with the receipt of the corresponding support request within the support hours specified in clause 10 (3), and runs exclusively during the agreed support hours. If a message appears outside the agreed support hours, the response time begins with the start of the next support period.

12.2 Seibert shall strive for the following response times according to the error level:

1. Priority 1: 4 hours
2. Priority 2: 8 hours 

12.3 The response times are Seibert’s declared aspiration. In particular with regard to the provision of clause 11 (2), Seibert does not guarantee the observance of the stated response times. Non-compliance with these response times does not constitute any right for the Buyer to reduce the price, claim for reimbursement, terminate or seek any other form of compensation.

12.4 For our international customers: Although our guaranteed service hours are European times, we do offer support internationally at quite swift answer rates. At the time of writing this passage we performed as follows within the last 12 weeks: Median response time: 15m, Median first response time: 32m, Median time to close: 57m, Satisfaction score: 100 out of 100. These numbers include a 24/7 time span and show that we're also doing support out of the legally guaranteed service hours. In addition it may be helpful for you to know that we do employ full-time employees in the USA that do support as well. Please note that these numbers are subject to change. If you have questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact us.

13. Resolution Time

13.1 The resolution time is the maximum time before troubleshooting resolves the error or a workaround is implemented, after the start of work on a support case.

13.2 Seibert shall strive for the following resolution times according to the error classification levels: 

1. Priority 1: 16 hours

2. Insofar as Seibert culpably infringes an important obligation, the liability per calendar year shall be limited to the foreseeable damage at the time of conclusion of the contract up to a total amount for all damages per calendar year which corresponds to 100% of the purchase price paid by the Buyer in this calendar year, as far as the Buyer can prove the damage.

4. Seibert will indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless from any claim, suit or proceeding brought against it based on a claim that Seibert has infringed or is infringing any third party's trademark, copyright, patent or other intellectual property right in or with respect to Seibert software. The maximum damage that Seibert is liable for is limited as in paragraph 2.
5. Seibert shall not be liable for the loss of Application Data insofar as the damage is due to the Buyer failing to carry out data backups, thereby ensuring that the Buyer can restore lost data with reasonable effort. The Buyer will indemnify and hold Seibert harmless for any claim, suit or proceeding brought against it based on (i) any breach by the Buyer of applicable data protection laws; and/or (ii) any infringement of the intellectual property rights.
