Terms and customer information

Last updated: November 2026

§ 1 Scope and provider

These terms apply to all contracts for software licences that you conclude via geier-it.eu/software. Your contracting party is Geier-IT – Anton Geier, Untere Bergstraße 2, 55487 Sohren, email info@geier-it.eu, telephone +49 152 04202892.

Individual development orders are not covered by these terms. For these, you will receive a separate offer.

§ 2 Subject matter

You can download the programs free of charge. To operate them, you need a valid licence key. The subject matter of the purchase is the time-limited right to use the respective program with this key. The essential characteristics, the price and the term are stated on the product page and in the order summary.

§ 3 Conclusion of contract

The presentation of the programs in the shop is not yet a binding offer. This is how the contract is formed:

• You add programs to the shopping basket and log in with your confirmed customer account.
• At the checkout, you enter your billing address and review the summary. Before submitting, you can correct all entries.
• By clicking the button “Order with obligation to pay”, you submit a binding offer.
• The contract is formed when we confirm your order by email. You will usually receive this email immediately after placing the order.

The contract language is German. We store the contract text. You can view your orders and the purchase contract in your customer account; you also receive the purchase contract and these terms as an attachment to the order confirmation.

§ 4 Prices and payment

All gross prices displayed include statutory VAT. There are no shipping costs. We accept bank transfer (payment in advance). You will receive the invoice with the bank details and the payment reference with the order confirmation. Please pay by the date stated on the invoice; this is 14 days after the day of the order. If you receive the order confirmation only after the day of the order, the period ends 14 days after you receive it. If the period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, payment on the next working day is sufficient. From the 5th licence under the same email address, we grant a 5% discount on this and each further licence, and from the 10th licence 10%. Paid licences of all programs are counted; trials and renewals are not counted. A renewal receives the level reached with paid licences. The discount is calculated automatically in the order.

§ 5 Delivery

We deliver exclusively by electronic means. You can order online with a billing address in Germany; for orders from abroad, please write to info@geier-it.eu. You will receive the invoice with the order confirmation and the licence key by email after receipt of payment. Both are also available for retrieval in your customer account. We usually book incoming payments within two working days after the money has been received in our account.

§ 6 Right of use and term

For the term, you receive the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the program within the scope of these terms. One licence applies to one user. On activation, the key is bound to one device; if you wish to change devices, please contact us. The term is twelve months from activation in the program and ends automatically. A renewal does not create a new key; the term follows on from the previous expiry date, and if the key has already expired it runs for twelve months from receipt of payment. When you buy a trial key, the key stays the same; if it is already activated, the annual licence runs for twelve months from receipt of payment. There is no automatic renewal and there are no follow-up costs. You may not pass the key on to third parties or reverse engineer the program, except to the extent that the law expressly permits this.

§ 7 Trial keys

Registered customers with a confirmed email address receive a trial key once per program. The duration and price of the trial period are stated on the product page. For apps that issue the trial key themselves, this is likewise stated there. If the trial period is free of charge, we send the key by email after you request it. If a price is stated, you order the trial like a licence; §§ 3 to 5 then apply, and a trial fee is not credited against a later licence. In both cases, the trial period ends automatically, without any further costs being incurred. We delete a trial key that has not been activated within 30 days of being sent; this also applies to a paid trial, and no new trial will then be provided.

The following applies to a paid trial: If the program does not work as intended, for example because the output of data fails, please report this to us with a brief description at info@geier-it.eu. We will examine the error. If it is confirmed, we will refund the trial fee without undue delay to the account from which the payment came. Without such an error, the trial fee is not refunded. Your statutory rights in respect of defects remain unaffected.

§ 8 Defects and updates

The statutory rights in respect of defects apply. Consumers are entitled to the updates owed under §§ 327 et seq. BGB during the term. Please report defects to info@geier-it.eu.

§ 9 Liability

We are liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the Produkthaftungsgesetz (German Product Liability Act) and where we have given a guarantee. In the case of slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. An essential obligation is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely. In all other respects, liability for slight negligence is excluded. Please back up your data regularly.

§ 10 Right of withdrawal

Consumers have a right of withdrawal in accordance with the withdrawal notice. In the case of digital content, it can expire early if you expressly agreed to this when placing the order.

§ 11 Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the state in which you have your habitual residence as a consumer remain unaffected. If you are a merchant, the place of jurisdiction is our place of business. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
