This consent requirement applies in any case, for example even if anyMarket performs services without reservation in the knowledge of the User’s general terms and conditions. Even if anyMarket refers to a letter that contains or refers to the User’s terms and conditions, this does not constitute an agreement to the validity of those terms and conditions.
  5. Individual agreements made with the User in individual cases (including collateral agreements, supplements and amendments) shall in any case take precedence over these GTC. The content of such agreements shall be governed by a written contract or written confirmation by anyMarket.

  2. The User shall be granted a non-transferable and non-exclusive right to use this software for the term of the agreement in accordance with the provisions of these GTC. Access is exclusively for the User’s internal purposes with the sole aim of supporting him in his processes and workflows.

The registration is free of charge. anyMarket is entitled to refuse an already successful registration and to refuse the possibility of booking a contract.
  3. After registration, the user must select his interfaces and (if applicable, additional) services. On this basis, all monthly and one-time costs are listed for the user. A contract is not concluded until the user clicks on the “Book” button. The booked selection as well as any changes at a later date (deselection or addition of interfaces and services) will be sent to the user by email.

    If the User is not able to adjust the number of SKUs in the anyMarket system to the maximum number stipulated in the tariff, additional costs may be incurred when the ServiceDesk is commissioned and charged to the User. The amount of these costs corresponds to the support costs of the booked tariff.

Adjustments or amendments to these General Terms and Conditions may also be made insofar as this eliminates difficulties in the performance of the contract which have arisen as a result of regulatory gaps after conclusion of the contract.
