Scheduled maintenance times of the system are not included in the calculation of availability. During these times, the application may still be available, with interruptions and restrictions where applicable; however, there is no entitlement to use. If maintenance work becomes necessary during operating hours and the application is therefore not available, Cratos GmbH will inform the customer of this in good time if possible.

For each case in which the customer culpably enables third parties to use the SaaS Service, the customer shall pay an immediately due contractual penalty in the amount of twice the agreed remuneration. Cratos GmbH reserves the right to claim damages. In this case, the contractual penalty shall be set off against the claim for damages. In the event of an unauthorized transfer of use, the customer must provide Cratos GmbH immediately upon request with all information required to assert claims against the user, in particular the user’s name and address.

If the contractual use of the SaaS Service is impaired through no fault of Cratos GmbH by the property rights of third parties, Cratos GmbH shall be entitled to refuse the services affected thereby. Cratos GmbH will inform the customer of this immediately and enable him to access his data in an appropriate manner. In this case the customer is not obliged to pay. Other claims or rights of the customer remain unaffected.

The Customer shall regularly back up the data transmitted to the SaaS Service in accordance with the risks involved and create its own backup copies in order to ensure reconstruction of the data and information in the event of loss. The data backup within the SaaS Service takes place according to the state of the art and with appropriate consideration of technical risks.

If there are concrete indications that the customer is violating or has violated one of the essential obligations stipulated in this contract, the statutory provisions or the rights of third parties, or if Cratos GmbH has any other justified interest, Cratos GmbH shall be entitled,

·     delete, deactivate or modify the data concerned,

·     to take other appropriate measures, such as warning the customer,

·     immediately block the Customer’s access to the SaaS Service.

When deciding on a measure, Cratos GmbH will consider the legitimate interests of the customer, especially if the customer is not to blame for the violation. Cratos GmbH will inform the customer in all cases before the blocking by email.
