General Terms and Conditions of Deep Art Effects GmbH
1. Scope of Application
1.1. These General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) apply to the granting of a license by Deep Art Effects GmbH (“Deep Art Effects”) to its customer (“User”) for the use of the free and the paid version of the Desktop PC Software described herein (the free and the paid version of the Software hereinafter referred to as “Software”).
1.2. Deep Art Effects licenses the Software exclusively on the basis of these GTC. Other terms and conditions, in particular the User’s general terms and conditions, shall not apply.
2. Prerequisite for the Use of the Software
2.1. The prerequisite for the use of the software is the download and installation of the software on a qualified hardware end-device of the user as well as the user’s agreement to these GTC.
2.2. Details of the supported operating systems and interoperability of the Software can be found on the Deep Art Effects website www.deeparteffects.com (“Website”) under the appropriate Download button.
3. Subject of Service
3.1. With the software, the user can have photos artistically edited based on the software. The user has various templates at his disposal, which can be applied to photos to make them appear in the style of certain art movements (e.g. impressionism). For this purpose, the user can load his photo into the software and have it edited by the software (the edited photo(s) in the following “Photo(s)”).
3.2. The user can choose between a free and a paid version of the software. The paid version of the software offers the user additional image processing functions, which are described in detail in the service description as part of the ordering process.
3.3. In addition, the user has the option of having the photo printed in high-resolution for a fee.
3.4. Further functions of the software are described on the website. In case of contradictions between the service descriptions and the GTC, the GTC take precedence.
4. Ordering Process and Contract Conclusion
4.1. In the case of the free version of the software, the contract is concluded by downloading the software and confirming these GTC electronically. The user can switch at any time from the free version to the paid version of the software by placing a separate order within the software. He will be informed of this possibility as soon as the User attempts to use a function available exclusively in the paid version of the Software.
4.2. In order to use the paid version of the software, the user must first complete the registration process on the website and set up a user account. The User will be asked to enter his/her e-mail address, a User ID (which may also be the User’s e-mail address) and a password. With the user ID and password, the user can log into his user account at any time and manage it. Only the user himself may use the user account.
When registering, the user chooses the desired basic term for the use of the software (“Plan”). By clicking on the button “Order payable” which then appears and by electronically declaring his consent to these GTC, the user submits his binding offer to conclude the contract. Deep Art Effects accepts this offer at the same time, unless otherwise indicated in the order process. Before submitting his offer, the User may view and change the order data at any time. Using the “Back” button, the User can, for example, select a different plan or payment method or cancel the order completely. Deep Art Effects informs the user of this possibility of change after selecting the desired plan and specifying the selected means of payment. Deep Art Effects will immediately send the User an automatic confirmation of the contract stating the selected plan to the User’s e-mail address; the contract can also be retrieved from the User’s account.
4.3. As soon as a contract pursuant to Section 4.2 of these GTC has been concluded for the paid version of the Software, the User shall receive a product key. With the product key the user can activate and use the extended version of the software.
5. Granting of rights
5.1. Deep Art Effects grants the User a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use the Software to the extent set forth in these Terms and Conditions. In the case of the paid version of the software, the license is limited to the term of the selected plan; in the case of the free version of the software, the license is unlimited. This license applies to a hardware device qualified according to the website. If the User wishes to replace his hardware device, he must contact Deep Art Effects Customer Service.
5.2. The software is copy-protected. Any circumvention of the copy protection is expressly prohibited. In addition, the user can only install and use the paid version of the software using the product key.
5.3. The user can freely dispose of the photos in relation to Deep Art Effects.
6. Duties of the user
6.1. The user ensures that he has the necessary rights to have his photos edited by the software.
6.2. The user is solely responsible for the photos he uploads to the software. Neither the uploaded nor the edited photos will be checked by Deep Art Effects.
6.3. The user will indemnify Deep Art Effects, if third parties assert legally binding claims against Deep Art Effects due to violation of their property rights on uploaded photos.
7. Updates
Deep Art Effects will make updates to the Software available for download as needed, including changes in functionality or performance as appropriate. If the User cannot reasonably be expected to accept these changes (in particular, because they adversely affect a paid function for the User), the User shall be entitled to terminate the plan extraordinarily.
8. License Fee and Terms of Payment
8.1. The provision of the paid version of the software is subject to the conditions in particular with regard to the term and license fee of the chosen plan. The user can view these conditions during the entire ordering process.
8.2. The license fee for the term selected in the plan is due immediately and payment is made using the User’s credit card.
8.3. In case of late payment, Deep Art Effects is entitled – without prejudice to its other rights – to charge interest at the statutory rate and to block or terminate the User’s use of the Software.
9. Term and Termination
9.1. Either party may terminate the free version of the Software at any time. The user only has to uninstall the software.
9.2.
With the paid version of the software, the user can choose between different plans with different basic terms. The selected basic term of the plan is automatically extended by an extension term of the same length, unless the contract is terminated either by the user or by Deep Art Effects with a notice period of six weeks to the end of the basic term or the respective extension term (ordinary termination). Notice of termination must be given in writing (e.g. by e-mail or on the Deep Art Effects account page).
9.3. The extraordinary right of termination for good cause remains unaffected for both parties. Deep Art Effects may in particular terminate the contract extraordinarily if the User has not paid a due invoice despite a reminder and expiry of a further term. In order to be effective, notice of termination must be given in text form (e.g. by e-mail).
10. Exclusion of the Right of Revocation
10.1. The User’s right of revocation is excluded with regard to the paid version of the Software subject to the conditions described in Section 10.2 below.
10.2. The product key for activation belongs to digital content that is not on a physical data carrier. The user’s 14-day right of revocation pursuant to § 355 BGB (German Civil Code) expires as soon as the user receives the product key. The prerequisite for this is that the user has taken note of the plan before ordering and has expressly agreed that he loses his right of revocation with the provision of the product key. He will be informed of this during the ordering process.
11. Warranty
11.1. Notwithstanding clause 12, Deep Art Effects does not assume any liability if the software is licensed free of charge.
11.2. In all other respects, the statutory warranty rights shall apply for a period of 12 months from the date of provision of the software.

12.1. Unless otherwise specified in the following provisions, the parties shall be liable to each other in accordance with the statutory provisions. The following provisions shall apply to all claims for damages and reimbursement of expenses, irrespective of the legal basis.
12.2.

12.3. If Deep Art Effects licenses the Software free of charge, Deep Art Effects’ liability is otherwise excluded.
12.4. Otherwise the following applies: If Deep Art Effects causes damage through the simple negligent violation of cardinal obligations, Deep Art Effects shall be liable for the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Cardinal obligations are obligations, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the compliance of which the contracting party could regularly rely. Deep Art Effects’ liability is excluded in the event of a negligent breach of obligations other than cardinal obligations, notwithstanding Section 12.2.
