Terms and Conditions
This is a courtesy translation. The German version at /agb is the legally binding one.
General terms and conditions for the use of Sekvo. Sekvo is offered exclusively to businesses.
1. Scope and provider
These General Terms and Conditions (Terms) apply to all contracts for the use of the web-based software Sekvo between [Provider name and address] (the “Provider”) and its customers. Sekvo is offered exclusively to businesses within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), legal entities under public law and special funds under public law. Conflicting terms of the customer do not apply, even if the Provider does not expressly object to them.
2. Services
Sekvo is software for scheduling post production in film, series and documentary, provided by the Provider over the internet (software as a service). For the term of the contract, the customer receives the simple, non-transferable right to use Sekvo in accordance with these Terms. The scope of each plan is described on the “Upgrade to Pro” page in the application, in the version shown at the time of booking.
On the Free plan, an organisation can create one production; exported schedules and guest views carry the Sekvo logo. On the Pro plan, any number of productions is possible and the logo is removed.
Sekvo does not process media. Uploading images, audio or other files is not provided for.
The Provider makes Sekvo available with an annual average availability of [Availability in percent]. Announced maintenance windows and disruptions for which the Provider is not responsible are excluded. The Provider may develop Sekvo further as long as the agreed core functions are preserved.
3. Conclusion of contract
Registering concludes a contract for use on the Free plan. The owner of an organisation books Pro in the application: they choose a monthly or yearly term, enter the billing details, confirm that they act as a business and accept these Terms. Clicking the booking button constitutes a binding offer. The Provider accepts it by switching the organisation to Pro and confirms the booking by email.
The contracting party for Pro is the business named in the billing details.
4. Account and access
Each person may hold only one account. Memberships of the same account in several organisations are not affected by this. [Consequences of breaching the one-account rule] Access credentials must be kept secret; if the customer suspects misuse, they inform the Provider without undue delay.
5. Prices and payment
The Free plan is free of charge. Pro costs 25 euros per month or 270 euros per year, in each case net plus statutory VAT. The price shown at the time of booking applies; it also applies to every renewal until it is changed under the following rules.
The Provider may increase the price for future periods. It announces the increase by email at least six weeks before it takes effect; it applies from the first period beginning after that. Until then, the customer may end Pro at the end of the current period; the announcement points this out. If the customer switches between monthly and yearly term, the price then applicable to the new term applies.
Pro is billed in advance: for the coming month on a monthly term, for the whole year on a yearly term. The Provider issues invoices electronically: it sends an email with a link to the invoice to the address in the billing details, and all invoices are available in the application. Each invoice is due immediately without deduction. If the customer is established in another member state of the European Union, the customer owes the VAT (reverse charge) and provides their VAT identification number for this purpose.
If the customer is in default of payment, the Provider may return the organisation to the Free plan. The customer's data is retained.
6. Term, cancellation and change
The term of Pro begins on the day of booking and lasts one month or one year. It renews for the same period unless the customer cancels before it ends.
The owner of the organisation can cancel Pro in the application at any time, effective at the end of the current period, and can withdraw the cancellation until then. A change between monthly and yearly term takes effect at the end of the current period. Amounts already paid are not refunded pro rata.
When Pro ends, the Free plan applies. Existing productions and versions are retained and remain readable; no further productions can be created. If the organisation has more than one production, none of them can be edited and their share links cannot be accessed until Pro is booked again or only one production remains.
The contract on the Free plan runs for an indefinite period; the customer ends it by deleting their account. If an organisation is deleted while Pro is running, Pro ends without refund. The right of either party to terminate for good cause remains unaffected.
7. Customer obligations
The customer is responsible for the content they enter into Sekvo and for the share links they pass on to third parties. They do not use Sekvo for unlawful purposes, do not endanger the security of the service and do not place excessive load on it through automated access.
8. Customer data
The data the customer enters remains theirs. Sekvo is operated in Germany. Insofar as the Provider processes personal data on behalf of the customer, [Data processing agreement] applies. Schedules can be exported as PDF at any time. When an account is deleted, the periods stated by the application before deletion apply; otherwise the privacy policy applies.
9. Scheduling and liability
Sekvo calculates dates from the customer's input. The scheduling itself and checking the results remain the customer's responsibility; Sekvo does not replace agreement with the people involved.
The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health and under the German Product Liability Act. In cases of slight negligence, the Provider is liable only for breach of material contractual obligations — those whose fulfilment makes the performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the customer may regularly rely — and only up to the amount of the typical, foreseeable damage. On the Free plan, the Provider is otherwise liable only for intent and gross negligence; liability for injury to life, body and health remains unaffected.
10. Changes to these Terms
The Provider may amend these Terms with effect for the future. It announces changes by email at least six weeks before they take effect. If the customer does not object before they take effect, they are deemed accepted; the announcement expressly points out this consequence. If the customer objects, either party may terminate the contract as of the effective date.
11. Final provisions
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contract is [Place of jurisdiction], provided the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. If any provision is invalid, the remaining provisions remain valid. The German version of these Terms is authoritative.
