In accordance with copyright law, patent law, design and related property rights, including know-how, Customer shall transfer all assignable rights of ownership and use, to which it is entitled, to development ideas generated during collaboration and to developments arising herefrom for all types of use to Viewlicity for economic and intellectual property exploitation without restrictions in terms of time, territory or content. This shall especially include but is not limited to all creations that constitute a protected work as defined under copyright law (UrhG), in particular pursuant to Section 2 UrhG and Section 69a UrhG. This transfer of rights especially comprises the right of reproduction, i.e. the right for the full or partial permanent or temporary reproduction of the work with any means and in any form, the right of distribution including the rental right, the right of exhibition, recital, performance and demonstration, the right to broadcast (including satellite broadcasting and cable retransmission), the right of communication to the public (including the display through video or audio recording, via online services, the internet or radio broadcasts) as well as the right to make adaptations and the right to advertise. Furthermore, Customer shall assign Viewlicity all exclusive rights of exploitation according to Sections 69 a-g UrhG without restrictions in terms of time, territory or content.

13.2        With the foregoing transfer of rights, the parties are pursuing the objective of allowing Viewlicity to receive the full rights of use to the development ideas and to the developments arising therefrom to the greatest extent wherever possible. The transfer of rights also covers the right to exploit the development also in all unknown types of use and it extends accordingly as well to the exploitation of all currently unknown rights of use, unlimited in terms of territory, time and content. The foregoing transfer of rights likewise includes Viewlicity’s right to grant third parties exclusive or non-exclusive rights of use to the development without Customer’s consent and to transfer rights of use to third parties without Customer’s consent. Customer shall grant Viewlicity the unlimited right to produce the respective subject matter of the right and to place it on the market. Viewlicity is not under any obligation to register or to exploit rights.

14.3        Any publications, PR campaigns etc. with regard to Products and Services must be coordinated with Viewlicity. Viewlicity may mention Customer’s name together with Customer’s logo on its website as a reference customer as well as provide the exact location where a Product is being or was used. Moreover, Viewlicity may take photos and/or videos of the installed Product and use these for its own marketing purposes. In addition, particularly successful projects may be shown on Viewlicity's website and in other marketing materials.

15.           Warranty (“Gewährleistung”)

15.1        The statutory laws shall apply for Viewlicity’s liability for defects, unless stipulated otherwise below.

15.2        In case of an obvious defect of a Product, Customer shall promptly, in no event later than within ten (10) days as of delivery or, if Viewlicity owes installation of the Product, as of installation, notify Viewlicity in writing. In case of non-obvious defects, Customer shall promptly, in no event later than within ten (10) days as of discovery of the defect, notify Viewlicity in writing.

15.3        In case of a defect of the Product Viewlicity may in its own discretion eliminate such defect or provide a new Product (“Remedying a Defect”). Remedying a Defect of Contractual Software may include the delivery of an update or upgrade which does not have the defect, or a patch which eliminates the defect. Viewlicity may also remedy defects of Contractual Software through remote maintenance. With respect to defects of third party products Section 15.8 shall apply.

15.4        If Remedying a Defect of the Product fails, Customer shall be entitled to claim adequate reduction of the purchase price or, provided that the defect does not only impair the use of the Product insignificantly, withdraw from the respective Agreement. Such failure may only occur if Viewlicity had been given sufficient and appropriate opportunities to remedy the defect within reasonable terms. The making available of a workaround as a preliminary solution shall be taken into account when calculating such reasonable terms. With respect to defects of third party products Section 15.8 shall apply.

15.5        In the event of a sale of the Product to an entrepreneur within the meaning of Section 14 German Civil Code (BGB), liability for defects shall be statute barred after twelve (12) months as of delivery of the Product, or, if a Product is subject to acceptance, as of acceptance, except that such limitation of the warranty period shall not apply to claims for damages and to liability in the event of fraudulent concealment of a defect.

15.6        Strict liability, regardless of fault, for defects that already existed upon conclusion of the Agreement is excluded.

15.7        Customer shall support Viewlicity in detecting and remedying defects and shall immediately allow inspection of any data and information, which reveal the more detailed circumstances of the appearance of the defect.

15.8        In the event of a defect of a third party product which is part of the Product, Customer's warranty claims under Sections 15.3 and 15.4 above shall be subject to Customer raising Viewlicity's warranty claims against Viewlicity's supplier. To that end Viewlicity assigns its warranty claims to Customer. Only to the extent that Customer can enforce such claims neither out of court nor through court action, may Customer also raise respective warranty claims, if any, against Viewlicity. If Customer's attempts to enforce warranty claims against the supplier have failed, Customer shall reassign such warranty claims to Viewlicity. Customer shall keep Viewlicity informed of any action it takes against a supplier in accordance with this Section 15.8. Viewlicity shall provide to Customer all information and support, which are reasonably required by Customer to raise warranty claims against a supplier, including detailed information on the warranty terms and conditions agreed upon between Viewlicity and the supplier.

15.9        Viewlicity is not responsible for changes Customer has made to Products. Viewlicity provides no warranty for Products which have been incorrectly used, serviced or installed by Customer or third parties. In particular, Viewlicity shall not be liable if a defect has been caused by the Product's operation in a system environment which does not conform to the hardware and software systems which are specified in the Product's documentation or as otherwise specified by Viewlicity or its supplier.

15.10     Viewlicity shall bear the expenses required for the purpose of inspection and warranty, if a defect actually exists. In the event of a defect of a Puttview Indoor Product such expenses shall include transportation and travel costs to any location specified in a Customer order. If no defect exists, Viewlicity may demand that Customer reimburses any costs incurred by the unjustified request to remedy defects (in particular inspection and transportation costs), unless Customer was unable to recognize the lack of a defect.

16.           Disclaimer of Liability

16.1        With the exception of liability according to Product Liability Law and due to death, physical injury or harm to health, Viewlicity’s liability is limited or excluded as follows.

16.2        In the event of negligence, Viewlicity’s liability is limited to reimbursement of typically foreseeable damages. However, in case of slight negligence (“einfache Fahrlässigkeit”) Viewlicity shall only be held liable, if Viewlicity has breached a duty, the fulfillment of which is necessary to adequately perform this Agreement, and on the fulfillment of which Customer may rely.

16.3        The foregoing limitation of liability shall also apply to the personal liability of Viewlicity’s employees, staff, representatives and vicarious agents.

17.           Data protection (Puttview Indoor Product only)

17.1        Concerning Personal Data within the meaning of Article 4 (1) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR; “Personal Data”) brought to Viewlicity’s attention during Support for a PuttView Indoor Product and to the extent that Customer Data contain Personal Data the following applies: Viewlicity shall process such Personal Data as a contract data processor on behalf of and according to the instructions given by Customer and exclusively for the provision of Support and/or the Ball Tracking Service. Customer shall ensure that the collection, processing and use of Personal Data complies with all relevant statutory provisions, in particular, if applicable, the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG)) and the GDPR.

Upon Customer’s written request, Viewlicity shall provide to Customer a copy of such privacy policy and/or additional information related thereto, which Customer may need to know in order to fulfil its contractual or statutory obligations.

18.           Written Form

Amendments and supplements to this Agreement must be made in writing; this also applies for the amendment of this written form requirement. Written form within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions shall include email correspondence.

19.           Miscellaneous Provisions

19.1        Customer may only assign rights arising from the Agreement to third parties subject to Viewlicity’s written consent. Viewlicity may amend the Agreement upon one (1) month written notice (including notices via email) to Customer. The amendments shall be deemed having been approved by Customer, and apply as of their effective date proposed by Viewlicity, unless Customer has notified Viewlicity in writing of its disapproval prior to their proposed date of entry into force. In the event of Customer’s written notice of disapproval, the Agreement shall, subject to either party’s right to terminate Subscription according to Section 7.2, continue without any changes to the previous terms and conditions.

19.2        In the event of a conflict between the provisions of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of an Offer, the provisions of the Offer shall control.

  • No amendment or modification to the Agreement will be valid or binding upon the parties unless made in writing and signed by the parties.

19.4        The Agreement and all legal relationships between the parties shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The application of CISG (“UN Sales Convention”) is excluded. Provisions, in particular those of international private law, which would result in the application of another jurisdiction, are hereby expressly excluded.

19.5        If Customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a public special asset, the courts of Hamburg, Germany, shall have sole jurisdiction over all legal disputes arising out of or in connection with the Agreement. Viewlicity, however, shall remain entitled to initiate court proceedings at the seat or general place of jurisdiction of Customer.

20.           Severability Clause

Should individual provisions of the Agreement be invalid or unenforceable for actual or legal reasons, without rendering the continuity of the remaining provisions unreasonable as a whole for a contractual party, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The same shall apply in the event of a contractual gap. In lieu of the invalid or unenforceable provisions or to close any contractual gap, the parties shall agree to a provision that comes closest to fulfilling the economic purpose intended by the contractual parties.
