2.2. The Licensee is solely responsible for its IT infrastructure, in particular for its installation and operation, for the internet connection required to use the Software and for the procurement, installation and operation of a state-of-the-art, standard internet browser. The Licensee shall bear all neces-sary expenses. This also applies to any hardware and software that is procured as part of the provision of services on the advice of the Licensor.
2.3. If the Licensee fails to comply with the required duties to cooperate or fails to do so properly, the Licensor's obligation to provide services shall lapse to the extent and for the period in which the provision of services depends on the prior fulfillment of the Licensee's duties to cooperate. The Licensor shall be entitled to demand compensation for any additional expenses incurred as a result of a missing or delayed act of cooperation in accordance with the hourly rate stipulated in the Order Form.
2.4. If the Licensee allows employees to use the Software, it is responsible for the actions of the employees and its affiliated companies in accordance with section 15 AktG ("Affiliated Companies") as for its own actions, regardless of whether their use is permitted. The Licensee shall ensure that the employees and affiliated companies are aware of the provisions of this Agreement and that they comply with them.
2.5. The Licensee is solely responsible for the use of the data processed with the Software in his company. The Licensor is only obliged to provide the Software that processes the data. The Licensor is not responsible for checking the data for content or mathematical accuracy, plausibility or suita-bility for further use by the Licensee, e.g. in the case of offers for services provided by the Licensee. The Licensee is obliged to check these before using them vis-à-vis third parties. It is also the sole responsibility of the Licensee to check the legal conformity of the services offered, invoiced or provided with the Software. In this respect, the special conditions under section 3 apply.
2.6. The Licensor points out in particular that the calculation of profitability is a partial consideration of parameters and costs and revenues, which may be incomplete. In addition to the Licensor's basic parameters, only the information entered by the Licensee can be taken into account.

3. Special Conditions for Specific Functions of the Software
3.1. The following special conditions apply to the solar sector:
3.1.1. The Licensor is not responsible for the correct indication of the annual yield forecast, the electricity price development and the charging and dis-charging efficiency of the storage system, the feed-in duration, the amount of the feed-in tariff and a realistic representation of the electricity con-sumption. These circumstances are based on estimates.
3.1.2. The roof layout and connection of the modules (cabling and connection to the inverter) are based on aerial photographs from the state surveying offices or map images (Google Maps, Bing Maps, Apple Maps). The Licensor is not obliged to provide its own up-to-date map material but uses the aforementioned map material. The Parties are aware that this may be out of date.
3.1.3. The Licensee alone is responsible for checking feasibility; the Software merely serves as support in this respect. In particular, it does not take into account the load-bearing capacity of the roof, which the Licensee is responsible for checking. The same applies to the compatibility of modules and inverters and compliance with MPP (Maximum Power Point) values and other metrics relating to inverters and strings. In this respect, the values shown in the Software are merely guidelines to enable an estimation of requirements and design.

3.2. The following special conditions apply to the heating sector:
3.2.1. The Licensor is not responsible for the correct indication of the opportunity costs of a replacement heating system, the oil and gas price develop-ment, the performance of the heat pump and the utilization of the heating element and the actual heat and electricity demand. These circumstances are based on estimates.
3.2.2. The Licensee alone is responsible for checking feasibility; the Software merely provides support in this respect. This applies in particular with regard to the heating load and the costs. The Licensee is aware that the correctness and accuracy of the room-by-room heating load calculation is significantly influenced by the conscientious and correct recording of the building and radiator data, for which the Licensee is solely responsible. The data is not checked or validated by the Software or the Licensor.
3.2.3. The Licensor is not responsible for an accurate assessment of the promotion of a heat pump.

3.3.2. The Licensee is solely responsible for entering the terms and conditions and other contractual provisions, the revocation policy and the revocation form. The Licensee is solely responsible for adapting and configuring the documents. This also applies if the Licensor provides samples, which it is not obliged to do.
3.4. A vehicle database and a component database are maintained in the Software. The databases do not claim to be complete. The Licensor is not responsible for the accuracy and timeliness of the data provided, in particular the list prices provided. All data is based on information provided by the manufacturer and is intended as a indication only.
3.5. E-mails are always sent to the Licensee's customers at the request of the Licensee. The Licensee is solely responsible for the legal admissibility, in particular compliance with data protection regulations.

5.3. The Agreement entitles the Licensee to set up the number of user accounts specified in the Order Form. If the Licensee sets up additional user accounts, the scope of the Agreement shall change and the Licensee shall pay the remuneration agreed in the Order Form for each additional user account.
5.4. The Licensee may delete user accounts at any time. This shall only lead to a reduction in remuneration if the Licensee discontinues the restriction of the scope of use in the Software and only as far as the number of Users does not fall below the number specified in the Order Form. This does not apply if additional annual licenses are agreed for an additional number of Users. These shall be effective for at least one year.
5.5. The additional remuneration is calculated pro rata temporis according to the number of days of use.
5.6. The Licensee can enable its customers ("Customers") to enter data directly via a web form. Accounts are not set up for customers for this pur-pose.
