PLEASE READ THIS UNIVERSAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY, AS IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

1. GENERAL – SCOPE OF APPLICATION

1.1 The following Terms and Conditions apply to all business relationships between the Customer and SANSARA BUILDTECH, also hereinafter referred to as “us/we”. These Terms and Conditions are an integral part of all contracts with the Customer. These Terms and Conditions also apply to future services and offers, even if the Customer does not separately agree upon them again.

1.2. The terms and conditions of our customers or third parties are not applicable and are not part of the contract, even if we do not separately object to their application in individual cases.

1.3 We expressly reserve the right to make changes to our Terms and Conditions, System Policies and prices by giving the Customer prior notification via their customer account or using the email address the Customer enters in their contact information.

1.4. The conditions and policies listed in the preamble apply in the order of precedence listed above.

1.5. Our employees and third parties commissioned by them are not authorized to make verbal agreements or to provide any verbal guarantees or commitments to the Customer.

2. CONCLUSION, DURATION AND TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT

2.1. The contract is concluded when the Customer submits their order and we accept their order in accordance to the provisions of point 2.4 of these Terms and Conditions.

2.2. Our offers are subject to change and are non-binding. We reserve the right to make technical and other changes within the scope of what is reasonable.

2.3. The Customer declares that the data they provided on their customer account are correct and complete and shall notify us of any changes in this regard in writing within no more than 7 days. The Customer is required to provide evidence of the correctness of the data upon request.

2.4. The Customer enters into a binding contract by placing the order and by accepting these Terms and Conditions. We are entitled to accept or reject the contract in the Customer’s order within a period of 5 work days after we receive the order. By merely confirming that we have received the Customer’s order, we are not bound to accept their order and the contract it contains.

2.5. Contracts are concluded for an unlimited time period unless otherwise agreed.

2.6. The contract may be terminated by either party with 30 days’ notice to the end of the month, without specifying any reasons through Withdrawal Form. Differing periods of notice may apply to the Customers depending on the description of relevant services. Notice of termination may be given in text form by letter, fax, email or via the Customer’s account on our secure customer interface.

2.7. Furthermore, we reserve the right to terminate the contractual relationship without notice for good cause. Such good cause is deemed to exist, among other reasons, if the Customer fails to meet its payment obligations or violates other important customer obligations. A further important reason which may result in us locking or terminating the Customer’s services or account without notice is if the Customer uses content that impairs the regular operating behavior or the security of our infrastructure or our product, or violates paragraphs 8.1. – 8.3. of these Terms and Conditions.

2.8. If the Customer intends to transfer their contractual rights and obligations to a third party, then our consent is required for this purpose. The Customer must make their transfer request in writing. We are obligated to verify the legitimacy of the transferor and the identity of the third party.

3. SCOPE OF SERVICES

3.1. The scope of the contractual products/services is based on the product description that is valid at the time of the Customer’s order and the written agreements resulting from it. We reserve the right, after prior notice, to discontinue services we offer free of charge or to introduce fees for these services.

3.2. If the subject of the contractual relationship is the registration of domain names, we only are obligated to arrange the desired domain registration. We do not accept liability for or provide any warranty that the domain registration authorities will actually allocate the domain name that the Customer requests in their order. The Customer is only entitled to assume they will actually be allocated the domain name once we have confirmed the allocation. We have no influence on the domain allocation.

3.3. We undertake to make economically reasonable efforts to achieve an annual average network availability of 99.95%.

3.4. Restrictions apply as described under System Policies.

3.5. If the service includes the allocation of an IP address, we do not perform a blacklist check of this IP address and the Customer has no claim to a specific IP address. We reserve the right to change the Customer’s allocated IP address when necessary with prior written notice.

3.6. If we offer technical support services that go beyond the service description, then we invoice these separately.

4. PAYMENT CONDITIONS AND LATE PAYMENTS

In particular, it is strictly forbidden to use the servers for (d)DOS attacks or to run open mail relays or other systems that are capable of performing these actions. If the Customer violates this agreement, we reserve the right – without prior notice – to lock the server and terminate the contract without notice.

5.3. For the managed server products and services, we grant the Customer only basic usage rights. We monitor these servers 24 hours a day for service disruptions and provide customer support free of charge for simple services.

5.4. The Customer is obligated to use the services provided appropriately and to refrain from abusive and illegal actions.

If data is transmitted to us on the Customer’s servers, the Customer is obligated to make regular backup copies of the data. The customer is obligated to perform a complete data backup prior to any change they make on their own behalf or on the behalf of a third party. If there is nonetheless a loss of data, the Customer is obligated to transfer the relevant data files to us again free of charge or to restore the data themselves.

6. USE BY THIRD PARTIES

6.1. The Customer is entitled to grant third parties a contractual term of use to any services the Customer orders from SANSARA BUILDTECH or its brands. In this case, the Customer nevertheless remains the sole contractual partner. The Customer continues to be solely and fully liable for compliance with the contractual agreements between us and the Customer.

6.2. If the Customer transfers user rights to their SANSARA BUILDTECH services to a third party, the Customer is obligated at the time of transfer to ensure that all legal and contractual provisions are followed. This is true for any changes that require the cooperation of the third party.

6.3. If the third party violates the contractual obligations or does not comply with the obligation to cooperate, if the data provided by the third party is incorrect or incomplete, or if other problems arise with the granting of user rights to third parties, the Customer assumes full liability for all resulting damages and, in addition, indemnifies us from all claims made against us by the third party or others.

7. USE OF THE SERVICES / CONTENT

7.1. The Customer is obligated to check and comply with the legal provisions arising from the use of the contractually agreed services, in particular the IT Act 2000, India, as well as national and international industrial and intellectual property rights, personal rights, and the requirements of competition and data protection laws on their own. The Customer indemnifies us against all claims of third parties arising from infringements of these obligations.

7.2. The Customer is obligated not to publish any content that infringes on the rights of third parties or otherwise violates applicable law. This includes in particular, but is not limited to, pornographic or obscene material, extremist content or content that offends common decency, gambling, material that could seriously endanger the morals of children or young people or violate the rights of third parties (copyrights, name rights, trademark rights and data protection rights).

7.4. If we become aware of illegal activities, we are obligated under IT Act 2000 to request that the Customer immediately removes the offending content and we are entitled to lock the Customer’s access to their account.

8. LIABILITY

8.1. The Customer uses SANSARA BUILDTECH services at their own risk. We are liable for indirect damages in the case of intent or gross negligence, but not for loss of profit. We are liable for culpable infringements that are not due to gross negligence or intent for the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract, up to a maximum of 100 % of the price for the Customer’s monthly product rental.

8.2. If the Customer violates the content obligations mentioned in Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions, in particular regarding legal prohibitions and decency violations, the Customer is liable to us for compensation for all direct or indirect damages arising from this, including financial losses. Furthermore, the Customer is obligated to indemnify us against claims by third parties – irrespective of the legal basis – resulting from the Customer or their designated third parties. The indemnification obligation also includes all incurred legal defense costs.

9. FINAL PROVISIONS AND SEVERABILITY CLAUSE

9.1. These Terms and Conditions and the contractual relationship between us and the Customer are governed by the laws of the Republic of India, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and international private law.

9.2. The international and exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship is our registered office in Jaipur. We are, however, entitled in all cases to initiate legal proceedings at the Customer’s place of business. Superordinate statutory provisions, in particular, on exclusive jurisdiction, remain unaffected.

9.3. If any provision is or becomes invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, this has no effect on the validity of the remaining provisions. The same applies if and to the extent that an omission be revealed in this contract. In place of the invalid or unenforceable provision, an appropriate provision will apply which, as far as legally possible, corresponds to the sense and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision or to the presumed intention of the parties, just as if they had considered this point.
