3. EVERLEAD Services and Services Provided by ALEX & GROSS Technology
3.1

ALEX & GROSS Technology offers the EVERLEAD services—with the exception of the free demo presentation and the free demo version—exclusively under paid subscription contracts (“subscription packages”) with varying scopes of service and minimum terms (monthly / annually). Additionally, ALEX & GROSS Technology offers individual services, particularly administrative services related to the use of EVERLEAD services, based on separate agreements (see Section 3.4 “managed services”).

During the subscription period, ALEX & GROSS Technology grants the user time-limited access to the EVERLEAD services via the internet and provides allocated storage space in accordance with the service package booked in the order form and as described in these Terms of Use. Provision is made as a “Software-as-a-Service.”

ALEX & GROSS Technology may provide some or all elements of the EVERLEAD services via products or services of third-party providers. “Third-party services” are products and services provided by third parties, offered for use to the user within the EVERLEAD services, interacting with them or used in connection with them. Third-party services are not provided by ALEX & GROSS Technology and are therefore not subject to maintenance or product development by ALEX & GROSS Technology. The third-party services used are listed in their current version in the EVERLEAD Third-Party Provider Policy [https://cdn.marketing-cloud.io/wp-content/everlead_2024/uploads/2025/03/14145120/EVERLEAD_Richtlinie_Nutzung_EVERLEAD-Drittanbieterdienste.pdf].

The use of third-party services is governed by the EVERLEAD Third-Party Provider Policy [link above] and the applicable terms and conditions of those third-party services.

The operation and maintenance of the EVERLEAD services is the responsibility of ALEX & GROSS Technology. This does not include updating user-specific content within the Content Management System (CMS).

The point of performance is the router exit of the data center. The user is independently responsible for receiving the service and must provide the necessary hardware and software. The user has no claim to access the source codes of the software provided and used by ALEX & GROSS Technology or to comparable information about the services provided. Operation and configuration of the services, especially integration into the user’s own websites via source code, is the user’s responsibility unless ALEX & GROSS Technology has explicitly agreed otherwise in the order. No physical transfer of the software or services occurs.

3.2

The scope of services to be provided by ALEX & GROSS Technology is determined by the service package booked by the user when concluding the subscription. The period and duration of use of the EVERLEAD services are determined by the subscription term chosen by the user.

3.3 AI Services
3.3.1

As part of its services, EVERLEAD provides access to tools and products with AI functions (artificial intelligence features) as well as machine learning tools and products that assist the user in generating texts, images, and compiling information. This section applies to the use of AI services as part of the EVERLEAD services. The AI services allow users to input information in various forms (e.g., text, images, or other formats) in order to have the AI services generate content and deliver results.

3.3.2

ALEX & GROSS Technology only provides access to the AI technology and services offered by third parties. The use of these AI tools is subject to the terms of use of the respective third-party provider and the EVERLEAD Third-Party Provider Policy [link above]. The user agrees to regularly review and comply with these terms.

3.3.3

Due to the nature of AI technology, it is difficult to fully control and predict outputs. ALEX & GROSS Technology does not conduct editorial or content review or correction of AI outputs. The results generated by AI services and tools may not be accurate (or accurate enough), truthful, lawful, or unbiased. ALEX & GROSS Technology makes no assurances or guarantees regarding the accuracy of AI outputs. It is not responsible for ensuring that AI outputs meet the user’s requirements or expectations and disclaims any responsibility or liability regarding accuracy, completeness, relevance, legal compliance, morality, quality, or impartiality of the output.

3.3.4

The user is solely responsible for all texts, images, and other content submitted to the AI tools and confirms having the necessary rights to submit such content to third-party providers for processing using the offered AI technology. The user is also solely responsible for the content generated by the AI tools based on the submitted input and must ensure they have the rights to use such content. The generated data may not be sufficiently accurate or reliable and must be independently reviewed by the user before being used or distributed. The user is fully responsible for reviewing all AI-generated content prior to its use.

3.3.5

The user acknowledges that third-party AI providers may use user inputs to train their AI features and software tools. The user confirms that any submitted or generated data, including customer data, may be shared with and processed by third-party services according to their respective terms of use, in order to enable the application of AI products, support EVERLEAD services and content, and fulfill other business purposes in line with this agreement.

3.4 Managed Services

As part of an individual assignment, ALEX & GROSS Technology may additionally provide the following paid services:

3.4.1 Setup of the Customer Platform

ALEX & GROSS will set up the EVERLEAD platform in accordance with the service description and the user’s order (based on the existing EVERLEAD services) and notify the user of its completion. The user shall promptly accept the setup and confirm the “GoLive” in written form. From the GoLive date, ALEX & GROSS Technology will provide hosting, ongoing operation, and administration of the platform under the following conditions. Further development of the customer platform (e.g., adding new modules, subdomains, or features; expanding with specific interfaces beyond the software’s standard scope) can be arranged through separate assignments.

3.4.2 Integration and Maintenance of Data and Content

The user provides ALEX & GROSS Technology with data to be integrated into the platform on an ongoing basis or uploads it themselves. This may include the user’s own data or data from external data providers, with whom the user has valid agreements and is authorized to use such data within the scope of EVERLEAD services.

3.5 Availability and Disruptions of the EVERLEAD Platform

The average availability of EVERLEAD services is 98.5% annually. This excludes required scheduled maintenance and disruptions beyond the control of ALEX & GROSS Technology, such as force majeure or failures due to incorrect script integration by users or improper use of the integrated content management system. ALEX & GROSS Technology will notify users of scheduled maintenance in text form, if possible, in advance through the designated contact. However, ALEX & GROSS Technology reserves the right to perform unscheduled maintenance when necessary for data or operational security.

3.6

ALEX & GROSS Technology performs daily data backups of EVERLEAD services and user-stored data, which are retained for at least five days.

3.7

ALEX & GROSS Technology intends to further develop the scope of software usage. It is entitled but not obligated to expand and enhance the functionality of its online services. It may offer enhancements and extensions for an additional fee. If the user books such extensions through a supplemental agreement, these Terms of Use shall apply accordingly. If additional or extended functions are made available free of charge after the contract is concluded, they are considered voluntary services by ALEX & GROSS Technology.

3.8 Changes to the Scope of Functionality

ALEX & GROSS Technology may change the functionality of the online services at any time, provided such changes are reasonable for the user, including replacing them with higher-value services. A change is particularly reasonable if it is necessary for an important reason and the defined service features and core service obligations remain essentially intact. An important reason may be service disruptions caused by subcontractors or required security improvements. If changes go beyond feature extensions or include material elements (e.g., design changes), ALEX & GROSS Technology will notify the user in advance via email.

3.9 ALEX & GROSS Technology may temporarily suspend the user’s access to EVERLEAD services and the user account if:

a) there is evidence that the user’s access credentials have been or will be misused or disclosed to unauthorized third parties;

b) there is evidence that third parties have otherwise gained access to the online platform provided to the user;

c) suspension is required for technical reasons;

d) suspension is required due to legal, judicial, or regulatory obligations;

e) the user is in default with payment of the agreed fees;

f) the user has provided false or invalid contact data or such data has become invalid and communication between ALEX & GROSS Technology and the user is no longer possible;

g) the regular fulfillment of the user’s obligations is not ensured;

h) user content infringes third-party rights, particularly copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other legal provisions, and the user does not remedy the violation despite being notified by ALEX & GROSS Technology;

i) the user violates obligations under Section 4 of these Terms;

j) there is a risk of significant damage or impairment to the services provided by ALEX & GROSS Technology;

k) there is a risk of damage to the reputation and image of ALEX & GROSS Technology due to content provided by the user.

ALEX & GROSS Technology shall notify the user of the suspension at least one business day prior to its effective date in text or written form, unless such notice is unreasonable or inconsistent with the purpose of the suspension. The suspension will be lifted immediately once the reason for it ceases and the user informs ALEX & GROSS Technology accordingly in writing.

4. User Obligations

The user shall, in particular, observe the following obligations:

4.1

In the case of unpaid or returned payments, the user shall reimburse ALEX & GROSS Technology for the costs incurred, to the extent that the user is responsible for the event that caused such costs.

  • refrain from sending legally prohibited, unsolicited information, such as advertising without required consent;
  • refrain from unlawful communication via telecommunications (§ 238 German Criminal Code);
  • refrain from transmitting or making available online any content that is unlawful or offensive, or referring to such content.

The user must comply with the Youth Protection Act and the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media.

4.5

The user must regularly and appropriately back up their data, both on their local systems and on the EVERLEAD platform provided by ALEX & GROSS Technology, insofar as technically possible.

4.6

The user retains ownership of all rights to the content they enter, particularly customer data and customer materials. The user grants ALEX & GROSS Technology a simple, spatially and temporally limited right to use this content for the duration of the contract, to the extent necessary to provide the EVERLEAD services and in compliance with applicable law (e.g., for backup purposes). ALEX & GROSS Technology may retain user content beyond the contract term where legally required or under official order.

The user ensures they have the necessary rights to the content provided.

4.7

The user bears full responsibility for the content they post. ALEX & GROSS Technology does not check such content for completeness, accuracy, legality, quality, or suitability.

The user shall indemnify ALEX & GROSS Technology and its agents from all third-party claims arising from unlawful use of EVERLEAD services by the user or with their consent, particularly related to data protection, copyright, or legal disputes involving third-party platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, “X”).

The user must promptly inform ALEX & GROSS Technology in writing if they become aware of such a violation.

ALEX & GROSS Technology shall inform the user of any third-party claims and provide necessary information and documents for defense upon request. ALEX & GROSS Technology will either delegate the defense to the user or carry it out in coordination. It will not acknowledge or settle claims without prior consultation. These provisions also apply to contractual penalties and official fines where the user is at fault.

Third parties within the meaning of this agreement also include affiliated companies of the user in which the user does not hold a majority of capital and voting rights.

They shall support each other in efforts to prevent disclosure of the confidential information.

9.4

The obligation of confidentiality does not apply to information that was already known to the receiving party prior to disclosure, becomes public knowledge without fault of the receiving party, is developed independently, or is lawfully provided by a third party acting in good faith.

The confidentiality obligation begins upon receipt of the confidential information and remains in effect for the entire term of this contract.

10. Data Protection

ALEX & GROSS Technology is authorized to use such data upon user instruction and in accordance with this agreement.

If personal data is processed on behalf of the user, ALEX & GROSS Technology shall do so exclusively under Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR based on the data processing agreement [https://cdn.marketing-cloud.io/wp-content/everlead_2024/uploads/2025/03/05200530/EVERLEAD_AVV.pdf].

The user remains solely responsible for compliance with the GDPR when personal data is processed on their behalf.

Cause for termination exists particularly if the user significantly violates their contractual obligations. Additional claims for damages remain subject to statutory provisions.

The deletion obligation does not apply if ALEX & GROSS Technology is legally required to retain the data under EU or member state law. In such cases, data processing shall be restricted and data used only for the retention purpose. The data will be deleted within 35 days after the retention obligation ends.

12. Amendments to Terms and Services
12.1

These terms may be amended as necessary to reflect developments unforeseeable at the time of conclusion and not initiated or influenced by ALEX & GROSS Technology, provided they would otherwise significantly disrupt the balance of the contract and core contractual provisions remain unaffected. Core provisions include those regarding service type and scope, contract term, and termination. Terms may also be amended to remedy regulatory gaps arising after contract conclusion, e.g. due to changes in law or court rulings.

12.2

The contractual services may be changed if such change is justified by a compelling, unforeseeable reason and does not significantly disadvantage the user. Compelling reasons include new technical developments or regulatory changes that make previous service models obsolete. Section 3.8 regarding service adjustments remains unaffected.

12.3

Changes under Sections 12.1 and 12.2 shall be communicated to the user at least six weeks in advance via email or user account message. If changes are not solely in the user’s favor, they may terminate the contract without notice at the time the changes take effect. This termination right will be explicitly highlighted in the notice.
