Statutory information about rights of withdrawal and return: According to § 312b BGB the customer has the option to withdraw from each distance selling contract within two weeks. Restrictions to rights of withdrawal and return: According to § 312d, paragraph 4.2 this does not apply to distance selling contracts "for delivery [...] of software should the delivered data medium be unsealed by the customer [...]".
For these reasons the return of licenses with download is also excluded.
The purchase price is due by the time the order is placed. If the customer is in default of payment, capella-software is entitled to bill default interest in the amount of four percent points above the prime interest rate.

The customer has a right of set-off or retention only on condition that the respective claims are undisputed or established as final by a court of law. The customer is entitled to enforce his right of retention only in so far as his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
The goods supplied remain the property of capella-software until all claims of capella-software against the customer have been completely settled.
Should the purchased items be defective, capella-software is authorised to its choice of subsequent performance, either in the form of elimination of the defects or delivery of a new object free of defects. Should capella-software not be willing or able to eliminate the defects or deliver a new object or if a fair delivery time is exceeded for reasons that capella-software can be held responsible for, the customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract.

In particular, capella-software does not accept liability for damages other than to the supplied goods themselves nor for loss of profit or other financial losses incurred by the customer.
In any case that the liability of capella-software is excluded or limited, this exclusion or limitation applies equally to capella-software's employees, representatives and auxiliary persons. The warranty period is six months calculated from the passing of risk. This period is a limitation period and also applies to claims for compensation of consequential harms caused by a defect.

Where appropriate, further activation codes will be supplied on request by capella-software. However, further activation codes cannot be claimed. Activation can be effected via Internet, email, letter or telephone.
