General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Scope of application
(1) These General Terms and Conditions ("GTC") apply to all contracts concerning the use of the Software-as-a-Service offerings provided by visotask UG, Kemptener Straße 31, 81475 München, Germany ("visotask") via the platform visotask.de, as well as to associated digital products, landing pages, booking flows, forms, user areas and additional functions.
(2) The offering of visotask is directed exclusively at entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 BGB, legal persons under public law or special funds under public law ("Customer"). The conclusion of a contract with consumers within the meaning of Section 13 BGB is excluded.
(3) Deviating, conflicting or supplementary terms and conditions of the Customer shall not apply unless visotask has expressly consented to their validity in text form.
(4) Individual agreements between visotask and the Customer take precedence over these GTC insofar as they have been expressly concluded.
§ 2 Subject matter of the contract and services
(1) visotask provides the Customer with a web-based software platform. The specific scope of services results from the respective booked plan, the offer, the service description, the ordering process and any individual agreements.
(2) The platform may, in particular, contain functions for appointment booking, deployment planning, dispatching, ticket management, communication, forms, documentation, user management, client management, analyses, interfaces, landing pages and other digital organisational processes.
(3) visotask owes the technical provision of the contractually agreed functions within the scope of the current product status. A specific economic success, a specific conversion rate, a specific number of bookings or any other business success is not owed.
(4) Insofar as the Customer organises, presents, brokers or processes its own services, products or offerings via visotask, visotask does not become a contractual partner of the contracts concluded between the Customer and its prospects, clients, end customers or other third parties.
(5) visotask is entitled to further develop, adapt or modify the platform technically, in terms of design and functionally, provided that the essential contractual main services are not thereby unreasonably impaired.

- acceptance of an individual offer, - completion of an online ordering process, - activation of the account following an order, - express order confirmation in text form.
(2) The Customer warrants that all information provided by it at the time of conclusion of the contract is complete, accurate and up to date.

§ 14 Liability
(1) visotask is liable without limitation in the event of intent and gross negligence, in the event of injury to life, body or health, and in accordance with mandatory statutory liability provisions.
(2) In the event of slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations, visotask is liable only for the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. Essential contractual obligations are those obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the Customer may regularly rely.
(3) In all other respects, the liability of visotask is excluded.
(4) The above limitations of liability also apply in favour of the legal representatives, employees, bodies, vicarious agents and subcontractors of visotask.

- there is a material breach of these GTC, - there are concrete indications of misuse, - the security, integrity or availability of the platform is endangered, - the Customer is in default with payments due, - this is necessary to avert legal, technical or security-related risks.

- changes in the legal situation or case law, - changes in technical framework conditions, - security requirements, - changes affecting third-party providers or infrastructure partners, - further developments of the platform, - adjustments to the business model.
(2) visotask will inform the Customer of material changes in good time in text form.

The parties will replace the invalid, impracticable or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the original provision. The same applies to any gaps in the provisions.
