Scope of application
The object of these GTC is the use of the services of Parashift AG (hereinafter referred to as Parashift). For the duration of the contract, Parashift provides the customer with the current version of the services for a fee.
The contractual relationship between Parashift and the customer is established with the acceptance of the offer. By accepting the offer, the customer expressly acknowledges these GTC, even if they contradict his GTC in whole or in part.
The customer is obliged to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information at all time. If this requirement is not met, there is a violation of the terms of use, which can lead to immediate termination of the contract.
Rights of use
Parashift grants the customer the non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the services of Parashift for the duration of the contract as intended.
The customer is not entitled to make the service available to third parties for use against payment or free of charge. Any form of provision of the service to third parties is expressly prohibited.
The customer is obliged to arrange all contractual relationships with third parties in such a way that third parties are prevented from using the service free of charge.
Responsibilities of the customer
Apart from the Parashift Services, the customer remains fully responsible for the operation, security and condition of his electronic and digital media on which Parashift Services are used (hardware, software, operation, security, etc.). The customer bears all costs incurred in connection with the performance of his responsibilities.
System availability
Parashift services are provided according to “best effort” principles. Parashift takes all reasonable measures to ensure that the services are used as uninterruptedly as possible.
However, the customer is aware that the services and other components provided by third parties whose functionality cannot be influenced by Parashift are a technically complex system and Parashift cannot therefore guarantee the constant and complete availability of components in excess of 99.5%.
Interruptions due to system maintenance, updates, etc. will be announced in advance, with a deadline of two working days for scheduled work. Immediately necessary work that triggers an interruption in availability can be carried out without prior notice in order to solve problems quickly or prevent potential hazards.
If Parashift detects a threat to the proper operation of the system due to negligent or willful activities of external authors, Parashift is entitled to take all necessary steps immediately to protect its own infrastructure and software from damage.

Parashift support is available from Monday to Friday from 8.00 – 12.00 a.m. and 13.00 – 17.00 p.m. by telephone via the telephone number +41 61 508 77 77 and e-mail via support@parashift.io and guarantees a average response time of 1 hour.
Payment
The amount of the remuneration for the agreed services is regulated separately in the respective price lists. It usually consists of one-time charges and recurring fees.

Property rights
