Terms of Use

Scope of the terms of use

The Terms of Use standardize the legal framework for the use of SOLID ENTERPRISE. They apply between AEB SE and the legal entities that license SOLID ENTERPRISE.

SOLID ENTERPRISE is not available to natural persons.

Scope of services of SOLID ENTERPRISE

SOLID is a tool for identifying and verifying export control and sanction risks. Based on specific questions, SOLID guides users through the various checks available. SOLID ENTERPRISE offers users unrestricted access to all checks and a shared company archive.

The three-tier role and rights system enables different checks. Depending on the rights definition, company-wide access to all checks is possible. The company dashboard provides statistical information on the checks.

The use of SOLID ENTERPRISE is at the user's own risk and does not guarantee binding check results, nor does the use of SOLID release the user from familiarizing themselves with the legal regulations.

SOLID maps the currently applicable legal requirements with the greatest possible care. AEB SE is not liable for their up-to-dateness and accuracy. The current official version of the legal bases as published in the official promulgation organ intended for this purpose shall always apply.

AEB SE does not adopt the content of external websites to which a link is provided as its own.

Support is generally not offered for SOLID ENTERPRISE. Where possible, the SOLID team provides support for questions under info@solid-app.de. The SOLID team may commission third parties to provide support to any extent.

Obligations of the users

It is the sole responsibility of the user to answer the questions raised in the various questionnaires correctly and completely. AEB SE has neither influence nor control over this. The final evaluation of the results generated on the basis of the user input is the sole responsibility of the SOLID ENTERPRISE users. It is expressly pointed out that the responsibility for legally compliant behavior in export control and sanctions law remains the sole responsibility of the users.

The users themselves are responsible for the careful and comprehensive backup of their data in the examination archive. The use of the archive is only possible during the licensing of SOLID ENTERPRISE. After the end of the contract, users can no longer access the checks in the archive. If the account is deleted, all stored checks are irretrievably lost.

When converting an account from PLUS to ENTERPRISE, the invited SOLID PLUS users must agree to the transfer of their checks to the archive. If a downgrade from SOLID ENTERPRISE to SOLID PLUS is desired, the transfer of the data can be ordered for a fee. The amount of the estimated costs depends on the effort involved and is offered to the user separately.

Use of the online sanctions list check

With the online sanctions list check, SOLID offers the comparison of business partners' own name and address data with external data content. The data content provided has been consolidated and maintained by third parties, usually public authorities.

AEB SE has no influence on the sources or on the creation and availability of the consolidated data content.

AEB SE does not guarantee the editorial quality, timeliness, completeness or accuracy of the data content provided by SOLID. AEB SE does not adopt the content of the external data sets as its own at any time.

The online sanctions list check may only be used in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR. The checking of first and last names of natural persons for a possible listing must be checked by the user for legality in accordance with the GDPR.

Liability

AEB SE is liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health, from the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) or other cases regulated by law if these are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by AEB SE or its vicarious agents.

Material contractual obligations are those that arise from the nature of the contract and whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract, including obligations that the contract imposes on the provider according to its content in order to achieve the purpose of the contract, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the user may regularly rely.

If material contractual obligations are affected, AEB SE's liability for slight negligence is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Liability in the event of negligence is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract at the time the contract was concluded. Liability is capped at the total annual maximum amount payable by the user in the last twelve months prior to the event causing the damage.

Liability for damages not typical of the contract, consequential damages and loss of profit is excluded.
In the event of a breach of insignificant contractual obligations, liability for slightly negligent breaches of duty is excluded.

Data communication via the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be error-free and/or available at all times according to the state of the art. In this respect, AEB SE is not liable for the constant and uninterrupted availability of the website and the tests offered there.

Prices, terms of payment

Fees are charged irrespective of actual use. Any refund is excluded. The prices quoted are net prices. They are subject to the applicable statutory value added tax. Any taxes or duties incurred outside Germany shall be borne by the user.

The subscription will be invoiced annually by AEB SE. Payment of the prorated annual subscription fee for initial licensing is due 14 days after invoicing. For subsequent annual subscriptions, AEB SE will issue an invoice. The subsequent payment is due 14 days after invoicing.

AEB SE reserves the right to adjust prices. Such an adjustment shall only be effective for the future. Users will be informed of price changes at least one month before they take effect. No further explanation or user consent is required. Price changes trigger a special right of termination for users. Users can exercise this right from receipt of the adjustment notification and terminate SOLID ENTERPRISE as of the date on which the price increase comes into effect or downgrade to SOLID PLUS or SOLID FREE.

Contract term and termination

The contract term begins either after AEB SE sends the confirmation email or after AEB SE accepts the offer as part of an individual offer process. If SOLID ENTERPRISE is activated before the confirmation email is sent or the offer is accepted, the contract term begins when the contract is concluded. The contract term is not limited in time.

The contract is concluded until the end of the year for initial licensing. Thereafter, the contract is always renewed on January 1 of each year for an indefinite period.

Ordinary termination of the subscription is possible in writing at any time up to four weeks before the end of the year. Cancellations by e-mail should be sent to the following e-mail address richten:info@solid-app.de/solid_accounting@aeb.com. The date of receipt of the notice of termination is decisive.

In the event of late payment, AEB SE is free to set the account in question to SOLID FREE after setting a deadline to no avail. Access to the results logs is then no longer possible.

By licensing SOLID ENTERPRISE, users agree to the terms of use and consent to the privacy policy. In the event of a breach of these terms of use, AEB SE is entitled to terminate the user relationship extraordinarily and without notice.

AEB SE reserves the right to change SOLID or to discontinue it temporarily or permanently. The users of SOLID ENTERPRISE will be informed by e-mail in good time so that the necessary organizational measures can be taken.
