Service Description

SimplyDelivery GmbH shall provide the Client, against payment, with a software platform with the scope of services described below. The software may be subject to changes in the course of time in the form of further developments, which will then also become part of these service specifications in the future. Any additional functions, updates and extensions will be documented by SimplyDelivery GmbH in this service description accordingly and will automatically become part of this contract without affecting the underlying contract.  Special termination rights for the Customer shall only arise if updates by SimplyDelivery GmbH remove or rebuild essential functions of the software from the previous version. Other changes to this performance specification and any rights derived therefrom for the Customer are subject to the applicable statutory provisions.

1. the currently applicable system requirements at the customer's site (client-side) are those described in this section SimplyDelivery GmbH shall provide the system requirements on the server side at its own discretion. SimplyDelivery warrants that the software can be used with the system requirements described in this section and recommends that, for an optimum user experience, more powerful computer systems than those described in the minimum requirements be used.

  1. As computer system on site at the customer's premises, at least one commercially available office PC, the components of which are not older than approx. 2 years, will be provided by the customer. The minimum requirements specified by Microsoft for the current Windows are deemed to be the "customary PC".  In addition, a commercial consumer monitor, Windows operating system, receipt printer from the compatibility list, a current chrome browser. All these requirements are documented in Appendix A. Changes to the list in Appendix A require a protection of the hardware or software used by the customer.
  2. Two PC systems are recommended for order management and as driver terminal.
  3. System software from SimplyDelivery for printer control "SOCP" must be installed on the customer's local PC and must also be permanently functional or active. The currently valid version must be installed, which can be found in the software's admin panel under "Help/Support".
  4. If the "SOTA" number recognition function is used, it must also be installed and functional or constantly active. The currently valid version must be installed, which can always be found in the admin panel of the software under "Help/Support".
  5. The client provides an Internet connection with sufficient bandwidth, comparable to at least DSL 1000. The customer's router must be configured so that updates for the operating system, browser, SOCP, SOTA can be installed automatically. The settings of the router must also be selected so that all incoming and outgoing connections are possible for the browser application itself as well as for SOCP and SOTA.
  6. We recommend a DSL 16,000 connection and a UMTS stick as a backup solution.
  7. The smartphone apps supplied by SimplyDelivery are always based on the latest version of the terminal operating system (Android, iOS) and at most the penultimate version.
  8. Only the most widely used devices from the reference list are regarded as supported smartphone types. Due to the unmanageable variety of smartphone types, a functional guarantee is only given for the reference types; no functional guarantee is given for end customer apps for all other devices and especially for very little used or niche products.
  9. SimplyDelivery is not responsible for hosting the Customer's domains or e-mails and their availability, etc. SimplyDelivery provides the option of CNAME forwarding from an external provider for the connection of domains. Otherwise, SimplyDelivery will make available on the hosting platform the working domain linked to this service for all services booked by the Customer. simplyadmin.de. No IP addresses are expressly made available.

2. duties to cooperate and system requirements, remote maintenance, definition of responsibilities for hardware and software

  1. The contractor is basically responsible for the maintenance and care of his local computer system. This includes in particular the system update as well as virus protection etc. The updating of all other software that is installed on the client side and which also includes the SOCP and SOTA programs is also expressly included.  Restrictions in the use of the SimplyDelivery software due to problems with the local PC, such as virus infections, missing updates and incorrect versions, etc., are not the responsibility of SimplyDelivery.
  2. The Contractor is required to maintain a remote maintenance software "TeamViewer" in the free version on the local PC. Without such functioning remote maintenance software, SimplyDelivery shall not be obliged to provide any further assistance in solving the problem.

3. Software modules and scope

  1. SimplyDelivery provides a hosting platform that integrates the basic infrastructure for all web-based services. The precise configuration and packaging as well as the choice of resources and add-ons is the sole responsibility of SimplyDelivery; only the smooth usability, stability, security and accessibility of the services rented by the Customer is decisive for the performance of the contract. This hosting platform and all other services are rented from SimplyDelivery.
  2. Accessibility of the platform is deemed to be 98% on an annual average. This applies to the primary usability of the software platform, so that the basic functions are still fulfilled. This does not include the failure of individual subordinate modules that restrict the usability of the software platform in productive operation but do not make it impossible. Subordinate modules are modules comparable to the e-mail module, the Google Maps module, the logging module or the image management module, which can fail without making the vital functions of the software for the customer's value-added chain such as order entry impossible.
  3. Excluded from this provision on availability are times during which the service cannot be reached due to technical or other problems that are beyond the control of SimplyDelivery (force majeure, natural disasters, etc.). SimplyDelivery may also restrict access to the services if the security of the network operation, the rights of third parties or conflicts of law arise in connection with the Client's user data. Otherwise the SimplyDelivery General Terms and Conditions shall apply.
