LOGIBLOX AG General Terms & Conditions (GTC), Version: 10.06.2022
1. Scope of Application
These General Terms and Conditions ("GTC") govern the contractual framework conditions between LOGIBLOX AG ("LOGIBLOX") and a contractual partner of LOGIBLOX ("Customer") and its derivatives in connection with the provision of software for use via the Internet (Software-as a-Service).
These Terms govern your use of LOGIBLOX's website and application www.logiblox.com and app.logiblox.com (the “App”) and your access to and use of our drag-and-drop application building, hosting, and management platform (the “Platform”). Except where specifically noted below, all references to the Platform include the Site and App as well. LOGIBLOX's Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into these Terms and details how we collect, use, and protect information about individuals.
The Customer recognizes the respective valid version of LOGIBLOX's GTC as an integral part of all existing and/or future contractual arrangements between the Customer and LOGIBLOX in connection with the provision of software for use via the Internet. They shall also apply irrespective of whether they are or are not expressly referred to.
A detailed description of the services to be provided by LOGIBLOX arises from the respective Self Service Subscription ("License Subscription").
Any deviations and/or supplements to these GTC require the express written approval of LOGIBLOX for their validity. Such deviating agreements shall only apply to the agreement that contains the deviating agreement and shall not have any prejudicial effect for other agreements between the contractual parties.
Any General Terms and Conditions of the Customer are herewith expressly objected to. Their application to the contractual relationship between LOGIBLOX and the Customer is excluded.

You can use the Platform to build and host an application or site that you make available to others (a “LOGIBLOX App”).

You may pay an additional fee to access additional features that expand the functionality of the Platform or LOGIBLOX Apps.

Subject to these Terms, LOGIBLOX grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited and revocable license to: (i) access and use the functionality of the Platform to build, host and manage applications and other Internet-based services (collectively, a “LOGIBLOX App”) that may be made available to named users or the general public (each such individual accessing a LOGIBLOX App, an “End User” if the subscription plan allows). Updates are applied automatically to the Platform.
2.2 Right of use
LOGIBLOX shall provide the software product named and described in the User Subscription contract ("Software License") to the Customer for use via the Internet ("Service").
