Terms of use

1. General and Scope

1.1

SuperX GmbH, Schönhauser Allee 180, 10119 Berlin (hereinafter referred to as "SuperX") is the provider of the Superchat platform, which allows businesses (hereinafter "Users") to communicate with their customers and other contacts (hereinafter "Customers") through a web interface using various communication channels (such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google, email, SMS, Telegram) and to centrally manage customer communication ("hereinafter Platform").

1.2

These General Terms and Conditions (AGB) apply to the use of the "Superchat" platform.

1.3

The offer from SuperX is exclusively aimed at commercially active users and not at consumers. Consumers within the meaning of these GTC are any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that can predominantly not be attributed to their commercial or self-employed professional activity. By using the services, the user declares that they are an entrepreneur and not a consumer. The use of the platform by consumers is not permitted.

1.4

Agreements on specific services or service areas become part of the contract with the users and take precedence over these GTC in the event of a conflict.

1.5

The application of the user's general terms and conditions is excluded. Deviating, conflicting, or supplementary general terms and conditions of the user only become part of the contract to the extent that SuperX has expressly agreed to their validity in writing. This requirement for consent applies in any case, for example, even if SuperX accepts the user's payments without reservation or provides the service without reservation.

2. Subject of the Contract and Basic Functionalities of the Platform

2.1

Via the platform, the customer has the option to centrally control and manage communication with end customers through various communication channels (email, SMS, various messenger platforms such as WhatsApp). The user can send content to their customers in digital form as individual messages or bundled within a campaign through various communication channels via the platform.

2.2

The scope of use of the platform agreed with the user, if applicable, additional services agreed upon, the start of the term of ongoing services, the remuneration, and, if applicable, further scope of services are determined either by booking an offer on the website ("self-service offers") or in a separate order form to be concluded between SuperX and the customer.

2.3

SuperX provides the user with the platform as a technical infrastructure.

2.4

SuperX makes the platform available on servers for use at the access point of SuperX's data center ("point of transfer of service"). To use the platform, the user must have their own access to the internet and access the platform at the point of transfer of service via this access.

2.5

SuperX uses the user's connection to messenger platforms and other communication services ("third-party systems") to provide its services. Contracts for the use of third-party systems are concluded by the user and the provider of the respective third-party system at their own responsibility. SuperX has no influence on the technical and contractual design as well as the scope of the services provided by third parties. The contracting parties of the connected third-party systems can change or discontinue their scope of services at any time, thereby preventing SuperX's services. SuperX is not liable to the user for service limitations caused by changes in third-party systems.

2.6

Communication via WhatsApp is carried out using the WhatsApp Business API. The user is provided access to the WhatsApp Business API to the agreed extent by SuperX. SuperX may use a service partner to provide access.

2.7

The additional functionalities and system requirements of the platform are determined by the description valid at the time of placing the order or the current state of the self-service offers.

3. Registration and Creation of a User Account

3.1

In order to access the services of the platform, the user must first register and create a user account.

3.2

The user assures that all data provided by them during registration is correct and complete. In the event of subsequent changes, the data stored in the user account, in particular address, payment, and contact details, must always be kept up to date.

4. Free Trial Period

4.1

The user can use the platform with limited functionality for a period of 14 days free of charge ("trial period"). During the trial period, the user can only access the campaign features. After the trial period expires, the use automatically ends without the need for termination if the user does not enter into a contract for the paid use of the platform.

5. Conclusion of the Contract

5.1

The user can submit their offer via the online order form available on the platform. After placing the selected service package in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the user submits a legally binding offer by clicking the button that concludes the order.

5.2

SuperX can accept the user's offer within five days by sending an order confirmation or by providing the ordered services. The contract is concluded with the receipt of the order confirmation or provision of the services.

5.3

SuperX can accept the user's offer within five days by sending a confirmation of the order in text form by email. The user's receipt of the order confirmation is decisive in this regard, or by requesting payment from the user after the order has been placed.

5.4

If several of the above alternatives are available, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the above alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the user and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If SuperX does not accept the user's offer within the aforementioned period, this is considered a rejection of the offer, with the result that the user is no longer bound by it.

5.5

When submitting an offer via the online order form, the text of the contract is stored, and the user receives it by email in text form after submitting the order, along with these GTC. Additionally, the text of the contract is archived on the website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via their password-protected user account using the corresponding login information.

5.6

Before bindingly submitting the order via the online order form, the user can recognize possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. The user can correct their entries within the scope of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button to complete the ordering process.

5.7

All legally binding statements must be made in text form by email or by using the input masks and setting options available on the platform, unless these GTC or the law expressly require written form.

5.8

The contract is concluded in the German language. Even if the contract text is translated into another language, the German contract text remains binding.

SuperX will separately inform the user of their right of objection and the significance of the objection period.
