By “we” or “us” we mean Supertrends AG, which offers these services. By “you” we mean you as a user of our services.
With “Platform” we mean the services we offer you after logging in to our services that require registration,
independently of which device you use. By ”Website” we mean the areas of our online presence that can be accessed
before login or used without registration.
The essentials
By using our Platform, our Website and our services in general, you agree to these Terms of Service and the
associated Privacy Policy. Services subject to a charge are marked as such. If you take advantage of such chargeable
services, you accept to pay the listed prices for these services unless agreed otherwise, e.g., if you access as part
of general business subscription.
By registering with us you confirm that your personal information is correct and that you have all the necessary
authorisations to provide us with any other information as part of using our services.
We reserve the right to change, enhance or discontinue the Platform, the Website, and any related processes and

We offer an Enterprise Account service to companies that require multiple user profiles for our Platform. The right to use our Platform is associated with the Enterprise Account. The Company is responsible for inviting its users to access our Platform and for revoking their access under the licence granted. The Company must inform us immediately of any resignation or planned transfer of access rights so that we can take the necessary action. Once a user's access has been revoked, the Company may allocate the released licence to another user. Released licences do not entitle the Company to a discount on service fees.
The Company will pay the relevant service fees for its users in accordance with the applicable price list. Invoices will be paid in accordance with the payment details on the corresponding invoices.
The Company will be liable for any misuse of our services and the Platform by its users and will be subject to the following provisions, as applicable.

If you use paid services, you will pay the applicable prices for these services. Your purchase may be subject to
foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g., exchange rates). If you purchase a subscription,
your payment method will automatically be charged at the start of each subscription period for the fees and taxes
applicable to that period. To avoid future charges, cancel your subscription before the renewal date.
