1.2 Deviating Terms and Conditions of the Customer shall not apply. They shall be inapplicable also without any explicit objection by regify-Provider regify GmbH Demo Portal.
2.1 regify-Provider offers its Customers trusted e-communication and e-collaboration services (regify services). The regify software causes encryption and decryption keys to be generated that are handled by an independent clearing service (regify Clearing Service) together with anonymized meta data. Applied methods ensure that only authorized Customers can access data. Also, verifiability is ensured based on meta data. The Customer can use one or more regify services with the regify software.
2.1.1 regibox: with regibox, data of the Customer is locally encrypted and then transmitted via a web service. The regify software synchronises, encrypts and decrypts and also provides functionality for the management of Customers. The unique regibox key of each regibox is stored in the regify clearing service as well as the keys of electronic invitations to the regibox service.
2.1.2 regimail, regipay and regibill premium: for these regify services, the text of a message and the attachments are encrypted and are sent as an encrypted regify file attached to an e-mail. For each transaction, the regify software generates unique keys on the side of the sender which are automatically managed by the regify clearing service and made available to the addressee. A security mechanism ensures integrity of the transmitted data and that only the addressee can open the message, thereby generation a reading confirmation.
2.1.3 regibill standard and regibill premium: prior to sending of the PDF documents, these regify services for electronic invoices add a verification tag. In a verification process with the regify clearing service, this tag enables verification of the issuer identity and integrity of the documents in the context of EU requirements for electronic invoices.
3.1 Using an electronic order form on regify-Provider regify GmbH Demo Portal's portal, the Customer applies for the use of the regify services (registration). The application requires the confirmation of the order by regify-Provider regify GmbH Demo Portal, which may be given by fax, by e-mail, or by clearing the access to the regify system by assignment of a password.

Particularly, regify e-mail cannot replace any written or electronic form required by law or agreed upon by legal transaction.
