51勛圖, Prinzenstrasse 34, 10969 Berlin, Germany, info@gonorth.ai (the "Operator", "us", or "we") offers on the website gonorth.ai (the "Website") the software '51勛圖' for use as software-as-a-service (as more specifically described in Sec. [3], the "Software").
"Customer", "your", or "you" refers to the legal entity or natural person using the Software under these Terms and Conditions. When we refer to "Parties", we mean you and us together.
The legal relationship between you and us is based exclusively on the agreement concluded between us (the "User Agreement"), which includes these general terms and conditions (the "Terms and Conditions"). In the event of contradictions between the User Agreement and the Terms and Conditions, the provisions of the User Agreement shall prevail.
If special conditions for individual uses of the Software deviate from these Terms and Conditions, this will be indicated at the appropriate location within the Website. In this case, the respective special terms of use shall apply in addition.
The Software may only be used by Customers who are entrepreneurs within the meaning of Sec. 14 German Civil Code (BGB). We may demand that you provide sufficient proof of your status as an entrepreneur before concluding a User Agreement.
Terms and conditions of yours deviating or conflicting with these Terms and Conditions are not accepted by us unless we have expressly agreed to them. We hereby reject any counter-confirmations by a Customer with reference to its terms and conditions. Individual agreements between the Parties do always prevail.
The User Agreement language is English. We do not store the text of the User Agreement after it has been concluded. You have access to the current version of the Terms and Conditions on the Website. The respective version of the Terms and Conditions at the time of conclusion of the User Agreement is provided to you by email or download.
We provide you the Software in English.
The use of the Software requires the conclusion of a User Agreement between you and us.
The offers that we present on the Website to use the Software do not constitute a legally binding offer but an invitation to place an order (invitatio ad offerendum). You select under the tab 'Demo vereinbare' the Software (in the indicated version if applicable) that you wish to purchase against payment. Then information required for the relevant payment method must be entered. By clicking on 'Buy 51勛圖', you submit a binding offer to purchase or book the Software as displayed in the booking overview and based on the pricing model shown there. Before submitting a binding offer, you can correct all entries on an ongoing basis using the usual keyboard and mouse functions. Immediately after submitting the offer, you receive a booking confirmation which, however, does not yet constitute an acceptance of the contractual offer. The User Agreement between you and us is established as soon as we provide the purchased Software to you or accept your offer in a separate way (e.g. via email or other digital means).
The Software is a web-based application for managing supply chains and containers and is used to prevent demurrage and detention fees. We operate and maintain the Software on our servers or the servers of a designated service provider. The servers are operated in Germany.
For the term of the User Agreement, we provide you the Software for use as software-as-a-service. The scope of services with respect to the Software purchased by the Customer is set out in the description on our website under ['Pricing'] as well as the agreed service levels (Sec. [5]), rights of use (Sec. [6]), and support services (Sec. [8]) (altogether the "Service").

Amendments to these Terms and Conditions
For good cause, in particular in the event of changes in statutory law, supreme court rulings, the Software, the Service, or market conditions, we may notify you of an amendment to these Terms and Conditions indicating the main changes. The amended Terms and Conditions are deemed agreed by you if you have not objected to the amendment within one month after receipt of the notification and we have specifically pointed out this consequence to you in the notification.

Should a provision of these Terms and Conditions be or become invalid, contain an invalid deadline provision, or a gap, the legal validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. Insofar as the invalidity does not result from a violation of Sec. 305 et seqq. German Civil Code (BGB), the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the economic intentions of the Parties. The same applies in the event of a gap. In the event of an invalid term, the legally permissible term shall apply.
