The Licensed or any part thereof may not be disclosed or otherwise made available to any third party. However, the Licensee may disclose to third parties collections of materials or the like, which the Licensee has compiled using the Licensed, if disclosure of such material is necessary for the Licensee's advice to clients, including in connection with disputes and in pleadings.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Licensee may not - and shall not permit any third party - to modify in any way the Licensed or other materials provided by Licensor.

2.2 Technical requirements for use of the Licensed Products

Licensee is responsible for obtaining and installing the applicable browser software for displaying the Licensed. Licensee is aware that the possibilities of using the Licensed Facility depend on Licensee's choice of browser software. Licensor ensures that commonly used browsers are supported. The Licensee will be able to obtain information from the Licensor on request which browser software can be used to display the Licensed. The Licensor is entitled to modify its software with the effect that the Licensee has to acquire and install new browser software in order to be able to use the Licensed. The Licensee is also responsible for establishing a connection to the Licensor's server and for maintaining and maintaining this connection.


2.3 Compliance with the Licence Terms and Conditions

Licensee is obliged to ensure that Licensee's Users are informed of and comply with the License Terms and respect the Licensor's intellectual property rights, including copyrights. The Licensor continuously checks that the license terms are complied with. If the Licensor has reasonable grounds to suspect that the Licensee is in breach of the terms of the licence, the Licensee shall, at the Licensor's request, provide a written account of circumstances of importance for the assessment of whether the licence terms have been violated. Licensee is always responsible for Licensee's User's use of the Licensed.


2.4 Right of withdrawal

If the Licensee is a consumer, the Licensee generally has 14 days to cancel the purchase of the Licensed, according to the Consumer Contracts Act. Licensee acknowledges that any right of withdrawal ceases when the Licensed Product is put into use. The Licensee thus agrees that the right of withdrawal can only be exercised until the time when the use of the Licensed is activated. If the Licensee is not a consumer, the Licensee does not have the right to withdraw from the purchase of the Licensed

3. Access to the Licensed

Depending on the type of subscription, access to the Licensed Domain is obtained either through an access from the Licensee's IP address, via the individual User's personal password, or a combination thereof.


3.1 Access via personal password

Entitled to use the Licensed is only the User(s) to whom the Licensor has issued a personal password in accordance with the Agreement with the Licensee and the License Terms. A User may only log in to the Licensed from three devices at a time.

Licensee and its Users may not give third parties access to the Licensed via online service, internet, intranet or in any other way, nor may Licensee and its Users disclose the password(s) issued by the Licensor to third parties.

If the Licensee is a company, public or private institution, organisation, etc., the Licensee may not give other employees than the User(s) to whom the Licensor has issued a password, access to the Licensed via an online service, internet or intranet, just as the Licensee may not in any other way disclose the password(s) issued by the Licensor to other employees.


3.2 Access via IP address 

The Licensee can only access the Licensed by logging in from the IP address and the physical

address(es) provided in the order confirmation.

An Agreement on access to the Licensed via the Licensee's IP address allows, under certain conditions, the Licensee's employees to have a personal password created for the acquired products.

A personal password is active until the termination of the Agreement, unless the employee's employment relationship with the Licensee has previously ended. It is the Licensee's responsibility to inform the Licensor of a terminated employment relationship, as the right to use the personal password ceases as of the date of termination of the employment relationship.

4. Updating and Modifying the Licensed

The Licensor has the right to update and update the Licensed Properties on an ongoing basis when the Licensor deems it necessary. Such update and update shall not entail any limitation or change in Licensee's obligations to Licensor, including such changes to the Licensed.

The Licensor is also entitled to make changes to the functionality of the Licensed, including removing and/or changing features that the Licensor deems necessary in order to generally provide the best possible service to its customers. Such changes to the functionality of the Licensed also do not entail any restrictions or changes in the Licensee's obligations to the Licensor, nor do such changes to the Licensed Property entitle the Licensee to assert remedies against the Licensor. However, the removal of essential features, such as functions that support document retrieval, monitoring and printing, shall be deemed to constitute a change to the License Terms. In the event of such removal, all of the provisions of section 13 of the Licence Terms apply, from which it follows, among other things, that the removal must be notified as described in more detail in section 13.

5. Rights

5.1 Rights to the Licensed

The Licensor, or any third party from whom the Licensor derives its rights, holds copyright and any other rights to the Licensed, including to html code, text, images or other elements that the Licensee may access through the Karnov Group Online Products. The copyright also includes any physical material, including user manuals and educational materials, provided by the Licensor to the Licensee. Finally, text, graphics, images, sound and other content that is made available are protected under the Copyright Act. Thus, the licensor reserves all rights to the content, including the right to exploit the content for the purpose of text and data mining, cf. section 11 b of the Danish Copyright Act and Article 4 of the DSM Directive.

Licensee must respect the Licensor's rights, and Licensee shall be liable without limitation in amount for any breach of these rights, including unauthorised transfer of the Licensed Property to third parties.

The Licensee may not breach or alter any security mechanisms, including security codes, just as the Licensee may not change or remove any information in the Licensed Facility regarding rights, trademarks, product information or the like.


5.2 Notes Rights 

Licensee and its Users have the opportunity to write their own notes in the Online Services. The Licensee and its Users dispose of their own notes. Thus, the Licensor does not use notes prepared by the Licensee or its Users for its own purposes.

The Licensee agrees that the Licensor deletes all notes prepared by the Licensee or its Users upon termination of the Agreement, and that individual Users' notes will be deleted upon termination of the employment relationship between a User and the Licensee and in continuation of notification from the Licensee of termination of the employment relationship, see section 3.

The Licensee shall ensure that the Licensee's Users are informed that the Users' notes will be deleted upon termination of the Agreement and upon termination of employment with the Licensee. Any disputes between the Licensee and its Users regarding the right to notes and the deletion of notes are thus irrelevant to the Licensor.

6. Payment for the Licensed 

6.1 Payment deadline

The licence fee is paid in advance for subscription periods of 12 months at a time. The Licensor's payment terms are in cash 14 days from the date of invoice.

If the Licensee does not make payment within the specified payment deadline, the outstanding amount will accrue default interest in accordance with the rules of the Danish Interest Act.

The Licensor reserves the right to temporarily close access to the Licensed, if the Licensor does not receive timely payment of the license fee from the Licensee. Licensee is not entitled to a refund of license fee due to lack of access to the Licensed when termination of access to the Licensed is due to Licensee's failure to pay license fee.



6.2 Deregistration, transfer or purchase of user access

A cancelled user access will not be credited regardless of when in the subscription period the cancellation occurs. Licensee has the option to transfer a cancelled user access to another User during the remaining part of the subscription period.

The licensee has the option of purchasing additional user access. These will be invoiced in connection with the creation of the user access, and billing will cover the remaining part of the subscription period.

7. Error Correction

The Licensed is licensed "as is" without warranty of any kind. Thus, the Licensor makes no guarantee that the execution of the Licensed and the connection to the Licensed will be uninterrupted and error-free. The Licensor conducts regular testing of the Licensed, but cannot exclude that the Licensed - like any other software made available online - contains errors and inconveniences. Such errors do not give rise to cancellation and do not entitle the Licensee to remedies or other remedies. The same applies to substantive errors. The Licensor strives to ensure that all errors and inexpediencies in the Licensed are corrected on an ongoing basis, but makes no guarantee that all errors and inappropriateness will be corrected.

8. Support

Licensee is entitled to both telephone support and email support from Licensor's customer service. This support only applies in relation to the Licensed and not in relation to the interaction with the Licensee's IT equipment, browser, programs, etc.

The Licensor provides support during the Licensor's normal business hours, as stated at all times on the Licensor's website. The Licensor aims to respond to all inquiries as quickly as possible and confirms receipt within one working day. A response to the inquiry can be expected within 3 working days. If an enquiry is of such a nature that further enquiries are required, the Licensee/User will be notified within 3 working days with an estimate of when the enquiry can be answered.

9. Liability and indemnity

The Licensor is liable for product damage in accordance with the provisions of the Product Liability Act that cannot be waived by agreement, but disclaims product liability on any other basis.

In no event shall the Licensor be liable to the Licensee for any indirect or consequential loss arising in connection with the use of the Licensed, including but not limited to business interruption, loss of anticipated profits, loss and/or recovery of data, loss of goodwill and other consequential damages. The Licensor is not liable to the Licensee for errors in the Licensee's advice to third parties that are due to errors or omissions in the Licensed.

The Licensor's liability for loss or damage under the Agreement may in no event exceed the amount paid by the Licensee to the Licensor for the subscription period during which the damage occurred.

The Licensor disclaims any liability for loss or damage that can be attributed to the Licensee's own connection to the Licensor's service, including lack of connection, system breakdown, etc. The same applies in relation to the Licensee's other IT equipment, browser, software, etc.

In the event of the Licensee's breach of the License Terms, the Licensor is entitled to compensation in accordance with the general rules of Danish law, in addition to any claim for compensation for unauthorised use of the Licensed.

10. Force majeure

Neither party shall be deemed liable to the other party under the Agreement in respect of matters beyond its control which it should not have taken into account at the time of entering into the Agreement nor should it have avoided or overcome, including but not limited to war and mobilisation, civil unrest; natural disasters, strikes, lockouts, failure of supplies of raw materials, epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of serious human disease, fire, damage to production equipment, disruption of general transport, including energy supply, and import and/or export bans. Circumstances at the premises of a party's supplier shall be deemed to be force majeure for that party pursuant to this section 10 if there is a corresponding obstacle for the supplier and the supplier should not have avoided or overcome it, possibly by using an alternative supplier.

11. Transfer

Neither party may assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement to any third party without the written consent of the other party. However, the Licensor may, without the Licensee's consent, assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement to a group company.

12. Duration and termination

The Agreement is effective from the date on which both parties have signed it or is confirmed by e-mail or other written documentation and runs for the agreed subscription period or until either party terminates it under the Agreement.

Termination of the Agreement must, unless otherwise agreed, be made no later than 14 days before the end of the current subscription period. If a termination is not received in time, the Licensee will be bound for a further subscription period.

Termination must be made in writing either by letter, e-mail or other written indication to customer service, e-mail: kundeservice@karnovgroup.com or by letter to Karnov Group Denmark, Skt. Petri Passage 5, stuen, 1165 Copenhagen K.

If the Licensee or its Users do not comply with the License Terms, the Licensor is entitled to terminate the Agreement without notice and to immediate termination. In such case, Licensee is entitled to receive excess prepaid license fees for the remaining subscription period as defined in the Agreement.

13. Modification of the license terms

13.1 Amendment of the General Terms and Conditions

The Licensor may change the Terms of the License at any time, such changes must be notified to the Licensee no later than 30 (thirty) days before the change takes effect, unless it relates to a change that is necessary for Karnov Group Denmark to comply with applicable law and where a shorter notice period is necessary to ensure compliance with the law. The Licensor's notice to the licensee shall indicate the changes made.

If Licensee does not wish to be bound by the amended License Terms, Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days of notification of the change, notify Licensor in writing that the amended License Terms are not accepted. The Licensor will then consider the Agreement terminated at the time of notification of the change to the License Terms.

If, within 30 (thirty) days of notification of the change, the Licensee has not notified the Licensor that the amendment to the License Terms is not acceptable, the Agreement shall continue in accordance with the amended License Terms


13.2 Price adjustments 

Licensor has the right to make price adjustments in accordance with Section 13.1.

Notification of price changes can be notified by sending an invoice no later than the month before the end of the relevant subscription period.

14. Processing of personal data

In connection with the provision of the Licensed, the Licensor will collect and process information about the Licensee and its Users' use of the Licensed. In addition, the Licensor will process personal data, including data about personally owned companies, that the Users may enter into the Licensee's system.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Licensor is an independent data controller and collects and processes personally identifiable information about Users to the extent necessary to provide the Licensed. The Licensor alone determines the purposes and means used when processing personal data, just as it is the Licensor's responsibility to ensure that personal data is processed in accordance with the rules of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act. If special conditions apply

for the use of special products under the GDPR, these will be stated in the appendices to these license terms.

15. The E-Commerce Act's information obligations

The licensor complies with all the information obligations imposed on service providers by the Act on Services in the Information Society, including certain aspects of electronic commerce (the E-Commerce Act). However, in order not to complicate the communication between the Licensee and the Licensor, the application of sections 10, 11(1) and 12 of the E-Commerce Act is waived to the greatest extent possible, cf. section 13(2) of the Act.

16. Privacy and security

16.1 Confidentiality

Karnov Group Online Products, including notes and collections of materials, are treated with confidentiality and are not disclosed to unauthorized persons.

  2. License terms

The Collection of Records may only be used by the Licensee and its Users to compile a material collection consisting of literature and practice for use in litigation and arbitration.

4. Rights to Collections of Records

Licensee and its Users acquire the rights to the Collection of Records that they create in connection with the use of the Collection of Records for such purposes as Licensee may deem necessary. It is the responsibility of the Licensee and its Users to agree on the mutual distribution of the rights. Any dispute regarding this is thus irrelevant to the Licensor.


5. Availability

The Licensee agrees that the Licensor will delete material uploaded to or created by the Licensee or its Users in the Collection of Records upon termination of the Agreement, and that material uploaded to or created by individual Users in the Collection of Records will be deleted upon termination of the employment relationship between the User in question and the Licensee.

Licensor is not in any way responsible for the availability of collections of materials created in the Collection. It is thus the responsibility of the Licensee and its Users to ensure that the collections of materials and documents that are to be preserved are stored securely on the Licensee's own systems or otherwise stored so that they are available to the Licensee at all times.

Nor is the Licensor responsible for any loss and/or corruption of documents in the Collection of Records, regardless of the reason for this.
