Service Maintenace Contract

Software Maintenance Agreement for the Finance Management Software “CLX.Office Wings Web”

1   Subject of the Agreement

The purpose of the Software Maintenance Agreement (hereinafter = the Agreement) is to comply with the continuing technical and functional requirements, primarily regarding the various interfaces and format changes at financial institutions. In the long-term this also facilitates a smooth and successful operation of the software because the delivery of the most up-to-date service pack—and thus the most recent market-relevant changes—is always available to you.  

In this Agreement, the Parties agree on the services to be provided for software maintenance for CLX.Office Wings Web, as licensed. For the first year, the maintenance of the software is included in the purchase price; that is to say that the software can only be purchased together with one year’s software maintenance. When purchasing the software, the customer also accepts the conditions of the present Agreement.
