(1) Scope
1.1 server24 delivers all its services exclusively based on these General Terms and Conditions (GTC). This especially holds true when a client makes use of general terms and conditions and these contain provisions that are contrary to or deviating from the present General Terms and Conditions. The present General Terms and Conditions shall also apply when server24 executes an order without reservation despite knowledge of client conditions that are contrary to or deviating from the present General Terms and Conditions.

1.2 server24 may change the present General Terms and Conditions with due notice. Unless the client objects to the modification within a time period specified by server24, the modification shall be deemed as approved. The client will be informed by server24´s notice of modification that the modification will become valid should the client not object within the specified time period.

1.3 The full wording of the General Terms and Conditions may be made available by server24 through a web link where the full wording may be accessed for download.

(2) Contractual Relationship, Beginning of Contract
2.1 The valid conclusion of a contract presupposes the transmission of complete and correct information.

2.2 The contract will be concluded by the activation of the login data.

2.3 With regard to domain registration, a direct contract is concluded between the client and the accrediting authority or the registrar. Unless server24 itself is registrar for the respective Top Level Domain (TLD), server24 will commission the domain registration based on an agency agreement with the client.

2.4 Top Level Domains are registered and administered by different organizations. Each Top Level Domain is subject to particular Accreditation Terms 
(see http://domains.server24.eu/). The foregoing provisions are integrated into this contract through hyperlinks.

2.5 The domain registration data are automatically transmitted to the respective accrediting authorities. The client can only rely on the actual allocation of a domain when Internet service has been appropriated for the requested domain. The allocation of ordered domains cannot be guaranteed.

(3) server24´s Services
3.1 The scope of the individual services is determined by the service description applicable at the time of the order.

3.2 All servers in the server24 Computing Centers are connected to the Internet by intricate system architecture. In- and outgoing data traffic is transmitted via routers, load balancers, switches etc., each of which has a specified maximum data throughput rate. There is no direct connection of individual servers to Internet transfer points. Therefore, for technical reasons, traffic capacities for server groups are limited at certain points. As a result of increased data traffic from or to individual servers, maximum data throughput rate of the respective individual server port may not be available for these servers and other servers interconnected to them. In these cases, the data throughput rate will be distributed among interconnected servers. The same shall apply to websites that share a common server. In the event of increased traffic, data throughput capacities will be distributed among the interconnected websites.

3.3 server24 server availability and data flow up to the Internet transfer point (backbone) shall be a minimum yearly average of 97%. server24 
informs the client that there may be instances of service restrictions or reductions that cannot be controlled by server24. This shall particularly include third party actions that are not covered by a server24 mandate, technical conditions of the Internet outside of server24´s control and force majeure. Likewise, the client´s hard- and software and his or her technical infrastructure may have an impact on server24´s services. If such circumstances should have an impact on the availability of functionality of server24´s services, server24´s services shall nevertheless be deemed to be in conformity with the contract.

3.4 server24 regularly performs systems maintenance work in order to assure network security, to maintain network integrity and services interoperability and to secure data protection. For this purpose and allowing for client interests, server24 may temporarily interrupt or restrict its services, if objective reasons justify such measures. If possible, server24 will execute maintenance work at times where Internet use is low. Should a temporary interruption or restriction become necessary for a longer time period, server24 shall priorly inform the client about the nature, scope and duration of the impairment, as far as this is objectively possible in the circumstances and provided that informing the client would not delay the trouble-shooting process required to remedy interruptions that have already taken place.

3.5 server24 may choose its technical infrastructure at its own discretion. server24 may change the applied infrastructure, backbones, third party supplies and hard- or software at any time. The use of specific infrastructure, backbones, third party supplies and hard- or software shall only be part of the contractual agreement if this has been pointed out in the service description.

3.6 server24 may modify its services if this is reasonably acceptable for the client in consideration of server24´s interests.

3.7 In any case, server24 may modify its services with due notice. Unless the client objects to the modification within a reasonable time period specified by server24, the modification shall become valid. The client will be informed by server24´s modification notice that the modification will become valid should the client have no objection.

3.8 To the extent that fixed IP addresses are made available, server24 reserves the right to change the IP address allocated to the client if this is required for technical or legal reasons.

3.9 If necessary and reasonable, the client cooperates in the change, e. g. by re-entering his or her access data or by simple adjustments of his or her systems.

3.10 server24 reserves the right to limit the size of in- and outgoing e-mails to an extent that is reasonable for the client. server24 is entitled to delete e-mail messages of the provided accounts a) after they have been retrieved by the client, b) after they have been forwarded according to the client´s instruction, and c) after they have been stored for 60 days. These provisions concerning e-mails shall not apply for dedicated or virtual servers where the client itself operates the e-mail server.

(4) Client Obligations
4.1 The client shall provide necessary information in complete and correct detail and immediately communicate any modifications. This is particularly the case with respect to address, bank details, e-mail address and credit cards.

4.2 server24 may send information and declarations regarding the contract to the client´s e-mail address. The client shall regularly check the e-mail address serving as contact address for server24.

4.3 The client shall set up his or her systems and programs in such a way so as not to impede security, integrity and availability of systems used by server24 for the performance of its services. server24 is entitled to suspend services if systems act or react in deviation from normal operating behavior resulting in the impediment of security, integrity or availability of the server24 server systems.

4.4 The client shall promptly change the allocated passwords. He or she shall carefully administer passwords and other access data and not disclose them to others. He or she shall also pay for services that third parties use or order with his or her access data or passwords, if he or she is responsible for such use or order.

4.5 The client shall make backup copies of all data that is stored at server24, to be stored on data carriers that are not situated at server24. In the event of data loss, the client shall reload the affected data onto the server24 server free of charge.

4.6 To a reasonable extent, the client shall cooperate in the registration, transfer and deletion of domains, the modification of entries in the databases of the accrediting authorities and the change of providers and registrars.

4.7 For certain virtual and dedicated servers, the client alone shall have administrator rights. server24 cannot undertake the server management in this case. Security of the server shall therefore be the client´s sole responsibility. The client shall be responsible for installing security software, keeping itself informed of any security gaps becoming known and to fill known security gaps. The installation of maintenance programs or any other programs made available or recommended by server24 shall not release the client from this obligation.  Every customer shall set up and manage its server so as to ensure that the security, integrity and availability of the networks, other servers, software and data of third parties is not put at risk.

(5) Client Responsibility and code of conduct
5.1 The client is responsible to ensure that his or her domain(s) and the corresponding content and any other stored data does not infringe on legal provisions or third party rights. server24 hereby informs the client that - particularly for international domains - the laws of third countries may apply.

5.2 The client shall not provide domains or content that are of an extremist (particularly right-wing extremist) nature or that contain pornographic or commercially oriented erotic content. This shall also apply if such content is made available through hyperlinks or other links that the client creates to third party websites.

5.3 The sending of spam is not permitted. This particularly includes the sending of unlawful and unsolicited promotional material to third parties. Furthermore, with respect to the sending of e-mails, it is not permitted to state incorrect sender details or to otherwise conceal the sender´s identity. As regards commercial communication, the client shall indicate the commercial nature through corresponding e-mail design.

5.4 The client shall not surrender the use of dedicated or virtual servers available to third parties, neither in whole nor in part. server24 may agree to a surrender of use. A prerequisite for this is that a separate reseller agreement is concluded. The surrender of use for free (whether in whole or in part) to anonymous third parties shall in any event be prohibited.

5.5 The client is responsible to ensure that the limited volumes of inclusive services are not to be exceeded, unless this was agreed upon in the contract. Should server24 become aware of the fact that the traffic volume of the client of a Web Hosting package exceeds the stipulated monthly volume by more than 10%, then server24 will inform the client accordingly. In such cases, server24 may offer the client a contract upgrade to the next level (e. g. a superior Web Hosting package) with a corresponding greater traffic volume. Should the client refuse an offer to upgrade the contract to the next level, server24 is entitled to terminate the contract with two weeks notice.

5.6 Alternatively, server24 has an extraordinary right to terminate the contract with three weeks notice in the event of traffic excess pursuant to 5.4.

5.7 In the event of incorrectness of the data that have to be transmitted for a domain pursuant to the applicable registration terms and if server24 is not able to contact the client through the transmitted data, server24 is entitled to delete the domain.

(6) server24 Measures on Infringements of Rights and Threats
6.1 Should third parties furnish prima facie evidence that the content of a website, any other data stored on server24 servers or a domain itself constitutes an infringement of their rights, or if it is probable, based on objective grounds, that a domain or content infringes on legal provisions, server24 is entitled to block the website or server as long as the infringement of rights or the dispute with the third party regarding the infringement of rights persists.

6.2 If the alleged infringement of rights is caused by a domain, server24 may take measures to prevent access to the domain. Should the infringement of rights caused by a domain appear certain based on objective grounds, server24 is entitled to terminate the contract without notice.

6.3 In the event of extremist, pornographic or commercially oriented erotic content, server24 is entitled to terminate the contract without notice in place of blocking the domain.

6.4 Should the client send spam mail pursuant to 5.3, server24 is entitled to temporarily block the client´s e-mail accounts on the e-mail server. Should the server concerned be a dedicated or virtual server, server24 may temporarily block the entire server in this case.

6.5 Should spam mail as mentioned in 5.3 contain a URL or a hyperlink that is administered by server24 or the content of which is stored in the server24 Computing Center, server24 is entitled to temporarily block the domain or content.

6.6 Based on objective criteria, server24 is entitled to refuse e-mails directed to their clients, if there is sufficient evidence to assume that an e-mail contains harmful software (viruses, worms or Trojans etc.), the sender details are incorrect or concealed or the e-mail contains unsolicited or concealed commercial communication.

6.7 If a client puts the security, integrity and availability of networks, servers, software or data at risk through its own dedicated or virtual servers – in particular in the event of a breach of clause 4.7 -, or if server24 suspects so based on objective grounds, server24 may temporarily block the server concerned. For the sake of clarification, this shall also apply for what is known as "denial of service attacks" (DoS Attacks) which the client launches through its server. In the event of a wilful act on the part of the client, server24 shall be entitled to terminate the contractual relationship without notice.

6.8 If a dedicated or virtual server puts the security, integrity and availability of networks, servers, software or data at risk without the client being responsible for this, or if server24 suspects so based on objective grounds, server24 may temporarily block the server concerned. For the sake of clarification, this provision shall also apply for DoS Attacks for which the client’s server is used by third parties.  server24 hereby points out that it is often due to a client´s conduct on third parties if it becomes the target of a DoS Attack. If a server is repeatedly affected by DoS Attacks and further repetition is to be expected, while there is no possibility reasonably available to server24 to prevent the expected future DoS Attacks or their effects on other systems, server24 may terminate the contractual relationship without notice after issuing a written warning.

6.9 If services are suspended due to the foregoing reasons, server24´s payment claims shall persist unaffected thereof.

(7) Payment Terms
7.1. Fixed fees shall be paid in advance. Usage fees are due and payable at the end of the respective billing period. Usage fees are calculated with reference to the current price list that server24 establishes at its reasonably exercised discretion. The client shall effect payment through credit card. The client authorizes server24 to collect all fees resulting from the contract by charging his credit card. Prices exclude VAT, unless otherwise stated.

7.2 server24 shall make an electronic invoice available on its Customer Service page for each payment transaction.

7.3 server24 may modify prices at the beginning of the next contractual term with due notice of a minimum of one month. Unless the client objects to the modification within a reasonable time period specified by server24, the modification shall be deemed as approved. The client will be informed by server24´s modification notice that the modification will become valid should the client have no objection.

7.4 In the event of changes to domain registrar fees, server24 may adjust its prices accordingly. Should the adjustment be unreasonable, the client is entitled to terminate the contract as of the effective date of the price increase.

7.5 The client may only offset against server24´s claims if the client´s counterclaims have not been contested or are recognized by declaratory judgment.

7.6 Should the client be in default of payment, server24 is entitled to suspend all services. server24´s payment claims shall persist unaffected hereof. Should server24 suspend a service with good reason because of default in payment, server24 is entitled to charge an administrative fee of € 10.00 for the resumption of service. We reserve the client`s right to prove, that no damage has occurred or that the damage is considerably lower.

7.7 In the event of the client´s default in payment of a significant part of the fees of two subsequent months or a default of payment for a period of more than two months for an amount corresponding to a monthly fee, server24 is entitled to terminate the contract without notice for good cause. server24 is also particularly entitled to termination without notice for good cause, if an insolvency petition has been filed against the client, the client´s property has been subject to insolvency proceedings or a petition to open insolvency proceedings has been dismissed due to a lack of assets.

7.8 In the event of default in payment, server24 is entitled to levy reminder charges amounting to € 10.00 each for the first and second reminder and for each illegitimate charge back. We reserve the client`s right to prove, that no damage has occurred or that the damage is considerably lower.
