delivery (as the case may be) immediately after the delivery. A delivery is considered accepted, if the customer does not make a written complaint about the defects detected within seven (7) days of the delivery or in case the customer has commenced the ordinary use of the service.

The customer must allow Setera access to any necessary equipment rooms, and, to the best of its ability, also otherwise contribute to the delivery of a service.

service, and inform Setera in good time of any changes in the information provided and of other matters relevant to the provision of the service.

in such a manner as it deems best and to use subcontractors to provide

the service. Setera is entitled to make alterations affecting the technology and use of the service provided, however, that the level of functionality of the service is not reduced. If these alterations require changes in the customer’s equipment or software, the customer must effect these

changes at its own expense. Setera takes every effort to communicate any alterations in the service that will affect the customer within a reasonable time in advance. A charge fixed by Setera is collected for any changes made in the contents of the service at the customer’s request.

and documents and the test material and information only according to the instructions given by Setera and only for purposes directly connected with the use or testing of the service. The title and all

Any equipment or software causing interference must be immediately disconnected from the service.

4.5. Material delivered through a service

The customer is responsible for any material delivered through a service

to other users or to servers belonging to Setera or a third party. In particular, it is the customer’s responsibility to see to it that no material sent by the customer or through the customer’s service causes disturbance to the telecommunications network, infringes the copyright of a third party or violates good practice, legislative provisions or regulations issued by the authorities. If Setera, the authorities or a third party can show that such material has been delivered through the customer’s service to other users or to servers belonging to Setera or to a third party, Setera has the right to remove such infringing material or prevent its use without hearing the customer.

The customer shall however be liable for the lawfullness of the processing of the personal data prior to disclosure thereof to Setera. In particular, the customer shall be responsible for providing information to its employees and other data subjects as required by applicable law.

If an agreement has been valid for less than six months prior to the damage, the maximum amount of damages is calculated according to the average monthly invoicing during the period of validity of the agreement.
