2. Use of the Workplace Pure Platform
   1. Konica Minolta provides the platform free of charge.
   2. In order to use the platform and to be able to book the cloud services offered on it, the customer must first register. The data that the customer provides during the registration process must be accurate and complete, and must be kept up-to-date by the customer at all times.

   4. The customer may create multiple user accounts for its customer account. User accounts may only be set up and maintained for persons who are authorized to legally represent the customer with regard to the use of the platform and the booking use of the cloud services offered on it and who are authorized to debit the customer account.
   5. Konica Minolta is entitled to refuse to set up a customer account or to block or delete a customer or user account if:

3. Booking and Use of Cloud Services
   1. The cloud services offered on the platform are software products of Konica Minolta or third party service providers (hereinafter also referred to individually or collectively as the "service providers"), which the customer may access and use via the Internet ("software as a service").
   2. The function(s) and/or performance specifications of the individual cloud services are set out in the respective product descriptions.
   3. If the customer enters into a contract for the use of a cloud service via the platform, this will result in the conclusion of a contract between the customer and the relevant service provider for the provision of the relevant cloud service for a fee for the agreed term. In particular:
      1. A contract for the use of a cloud service is concluded if (1) the customer enters the necessary information and completes the respective booking or ordering process in full, thereby, at the same time, transmitting to the service provider a binding offer to conclude the respective contract and (2) the service provider accepts this offer either by stating this expressly or by tacitly providing the cloud service ordered by the customer. The issue of an acknowledgment of receipt by the service provider does not constitute acceptance of the offer.
      2. After the conclusion of the contract, the service provider will send the access data needed in order to use the respective cloud service to the customer at the address that it provided during the order process and will make the cloud service immediately available to the customer at the computer center's router output located where the cloud service's host server is operated (hereinafter referred to as the "transfer point"). In this connection, the service provider does not have a duty to establish and maintain a data connection between the customer's IT systems and the transfer point; this is the customer's responsibility.
      3. The use of a cloud service is subject to its special terms of use. To the extent that these exist, they may be found with the product description of the individual services. If there are no special terms of use or if there are omissions in them, these Terms of Use will apply additionally or alternatively.
   4. There are four different pricing and term-length models available for the booking of cloud services. Which of the models is available for a specific cloud service may be found in the respective product description.
      • Five-year subscription (battery pack) In the case of a five-year subscription ("battery pack"), the parties conclude a contract on a specific service volume (e.g. pages, credits, documents) for a term of five years. This begins on the day on which the cloud service is made available to the customer and ends automatically at the end of the contract term. The contract cannot be terminated without cause prior to the end of its term.
      • Annual subscription In the case of an annual subscription, the parties conclude a contract on a specific service volume (e.g. pages, credits, documents) for a term of one year. This begins on the day on which the cloud service is made available to the customer and ends automatically at the end of the contract term. The contract cannot be terminated without cause prior to the end of its term.
      • Monthly subscription In the case of a monthly subscription, the parties conclude a contract on a specific service volume (e.g. pages, credits, documents) for a term of one month. This begins on the day on which the cloud service is made available to the customer. The contract term is automatically extended by a further month at a time unless the customer has previously canceled the subscription by giving 14 days' notice.
      • Pay-per-use In the case of the pay-per-use model, the parties conclude a contract on an unspecified service volume (e.g. pages, credits, documents) for a term of one month. This begins on the day on which the cloud service is made available to the customer. The contract term is automatically extended by a further month at a time unless the customer has previously canceled the subscription by giving 14 days' notice.

      If the customer exceeds its subscribed usage quota, it may add another subscription to continue using the cloud service. In the case of page-, credit- or document-related cloud services and subscription models, it is possible even if the usage quota has been exceeded to continue using the service without adding another subscription (information on this is provided in the respective product description). In this case, payment for additional use is made on a pay-per-use basis.

      If multiple subscriptions exist concurrently for a cloud service (e.g. a one-year subscription and a Battery Pack), the usage allocation shall used up based on the remaining term, i.e. the next subscription to expire shall be used up. As an exception, Pay-per-use will always be the last subscription in being used.

   5. The service provider may terminate a contract for the use of a cloud service without notice if the customer commits a significant breach of its contractual duties and obligations within the meaning of section 6 or - despite a warning - commits repeated breaches of its contractual duties and obligations.
4. Grant of Rights
   1. Pursuant to the contract for the use of a cloud service, the respective service provider grants the customer a non-exclusive and non-assignable right to access the respective software via the Internet and to use it for its own business purposes in the course of carrying out its commercial or independent professional activity for the duration of the contract. Since the software is not provided as source or object code, but rather "as a service", the customer is not granted any rights to the use or exploitation of the software under copyright law with the exception of the right to load the software into the main memory of a computer for the purpose of using it in accordance with its intended use.
   2. To the extent that this is necessary for the provision of the services called for under the contract, the customer grants the service provider, for the purposes of carrying out the contract, the right to process, and if necessary, to store and/or to reproduce any data transmitted while the customer is using the cloud service.
