2. Conditions of purchase and subscription of Booxli Content

In order to use the available Booxli content, you must meet certain minimum technical system requirements. You can find these in our terms of use. To use and manage the Booxli content you need the Booxli applications, which are provided free of charge by Booxli. In particular you should have a suitable online access that allows you to access the Booxli services (a DSL broadband connection is recommended). The connection costs arising from the use of the services are not part of this contract.

Personal requirement for the use of the Booxli services is that you are at least 18 years old. The use by minors is only allowed under the supervision of a parent or guardian. This parent or guardian must conclude the contract and must supervise the use of the Booxli Services. If there is reasonable doubt about the age of majority, Booxli is entitled to require you to provide a certified copy of an identity document.

The use of the Booxli Services is provisionally only permitted for end users. For this reason Booxli does not perform billing for commercial purposes. You can view your orders under "My Profile".

The use of basic functions of the Booxli Services is free of charge and possible without the registration of a Booxli User Account. For the full use of the Booxli Services and the use of Booxli Content, the further prerequisite is that you register and create a user account by submitting the required login data. For this purpose it is necessary that you enter your email address and choose a password (hereafter "Access Data"). The registration is complete as soon as Booxli has confirmed the successful registration after checking your registration data.

For the purchase of Booxli Content you are also required to enter further personal data (title, first name, surname, address) and your billing data (credit card data or online authorization for SEPA Direct Debit).

Booxli permanently stores the Booxli content you have obtained in your personal online library, which you can access with your access data. This online library remains after the termination of the contract and allows you to access your purchased Booxli Content also in the future. The online library will only be deleted upon your explicit and written request.

You are obliged to provide correct and complete information during the registration process and, in case of changes to your personal data, to adjust them immediately in the section "My Profile" within the Booxli Services. Booxli reserves the right to prosecute criminal and civil law in case of incorrect payment information or illegal provision of incorrect data or data of third parties.

We ask you to handle your access data carefully and especially not to give your password to third parties. You bear the responsibility for any not careful handling of these data. If Booxli becomes aware of the unauthorized use of the access by third parties, Booxli is entitled to block your access to Booxli content without notice. In your own interest, please choose secure passwords that are not identical with each other.

3. Conclusion of contract & possibilities to purchase Booxli-Contents

After the verified registration you are entitled to receive Booxli content online via the Internet according to these terms of sale. Booxli offers you different ways to purchase Booxli Content:

i. Free Content

As part of the Booxli services we offer you free Booxli content.

      1. The free Booxli content is made available to you for an unlimited time. The free Booxli content does not become your property and there is no legal claim to receive this content. The free Booxli content is basically available to all customers for private use within the Booxli applications. To use it it is necessary that you register as a Booxli User and agree to the General Terms and Conditions. We reserve the right to charge the claimed services as compensation in case of illegal use.
      2. We reserve the right to remove the Booxli content provided free of charge at any time and without prior notice or to make it available in the context of other purchase options. In this case the free Booxli content will be removed from your personal library.

ii. Single Purchase

Booxli contents can be obtained individually from the overall Booxli offer. The contract between you and Booxli is concluded with the binding order of the selected Booxli Content and the confirmation of the purchase within the Booxli Services. With the conclusion of the contract, our payment claim against you is established. After completion of the checkout process, the Booxli Content is immediately transferred to your personal library where it is available for download and use. If the payment method you have specified is rejected for any reason, Booxli is entitled to charge another payment method stored in your account instead. After your first successfully completed and paid purchase, you can make unlimited purchases within the Booxli offer.

iii. Delivery of Booxli Content

All Booxli content purchased by you is made available to you through your Booxli user account.

iv. Transfer of Risk

With the purchase and the making available of the Booxli content you have purchased, the risk for the successful completion of your download process as well as for the loss of Booxli content you have downloaded, including loss due to file damage or device or hard drive crashes, is transferred to you. Acquired Booxli Content is usually still available through your Booxli user account, but may be temporarily or permanently unavailable due to possible licensing restrictions of content providers or other reasons. Booxli is not liable to you if Booxli content is no longer available for further download. In this case a full or partial refund of already paid fees is not possible. Accordingly we ask you to download Booxli Content immediately after purchase. If you are still unable to download after reviewing our online help pages, please contact the Booxli Service.

v. Availability of Booxli-Contents

Booxli makes reasonable efforts to provide Booxli content in a timely manner. Occasionally, technical or provider-related problems may delay or prevent delivery. You acknowledge that the availability of Booxli Content that has not been created at the time you purchase such Content, or that you expect such Content to be delivered, depends on the creation of the Content by the Provider. In this case, with respect to such Booxli Content that is not delivered within a reasonable time frame, you may request a replacement of such Booxli Content with similar programs or an extension of the applicable subscription period or, if both are not available, a pro rata credit to your Booxli account or a refund of the amounts paid or fees for the amount of such Booxli Content. Your legal rights remain unaffected. If you find an error in Booxli Content, you can contact the Booxli Service and Booxli will advise you on the correct download procedure and hardware requirements. If you are still not able to download a working copy of the Booxli Content, Booxli will provide you with replacement Booxli Content or give you a credit to your Booxli account or a refund of the paid amounts or fees. This is at the discretion of Booxli, provided you contact the Booxli service within 7 days after your first attempt to download the Booxli Content or to download it, provided you comply with the technical as well as the registration and payment conditions for the Booxli service.
