These General Terms and Conditions govern the rights and obligations between PlanRadar and PlanRadar’s customers. PlanRadar’s customers are business owners/entrepreneurs as defined within local laws.
.

2. Scope of application

2.1 These General Terms and Conditions govern the business relationship between PlanRadar and PlanRadar’s customers, whether for payment or not (e.g during trial phases). PlanRadar provides services exclusively based on these General Terms and Conditions. Any use of PlanRadar services by the customer shall have the effect that these General Terms and Conditions will form the basis of such business relationship.

2.2 Any contractual provisions agreed individually with the customer in writing, shall take precedence over these General Terms and Conditions.

2.3 If the customer has its own terms and conditions, by using any services of PlanRadar, the customer agrees and confirms that only PlanRadar’s General Terms and Conditions shall apply to the contractual relationship between PlanRadar and the customer to the exclusion of any terms and conditions of the customer. Any terms and conditions of the customer will only apply if PlanRadar expressly confirms this in writing.

2.4 Individual agreements must be made in writing (and must be signed by the parties). Any informal statements and declarations made by PlanRadar (including those made by email) are not binding.

2.5 PlanRadar is entitled to unilaterally change these General Terms and Conditions at any time. The customer will be notified of such changes via email at least two months before they will take effect. The customer will be entitled to object to such change in writing within four weeks from receipt of the email. The change will be deemed accepted and binding, if either the customer has consented to the change or if it has not objected to this change within the four-week period. PlanRadar will separately point out these legal consequences and the option to object in the notification e-mail. In the event of an objection, PlanRadar is entitled to terminate the contracts concluded with the customer under the old General Terms and Conditions for good cause, subject to a one-month notice period. If PlanRadar does not terminate one or more such contracts in the event of an objection, the old General Terms and Conditions shall continue to apply to such contract or contracts.

3. PlanRadar’s Services

3.1 PlanRadar provides the customer with a system (potentially) consisting of several modules for construction documentation and defect management as software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) in the respective current version for use via the Internet, an app as client software as well as the possibility to store data (hereinafter referred to as “Software”).

3.2 PlanRadar reserves the right to further develop and change the Software and all specifications of the Software at any time (e.g. by using newer or different technologies, systems, processes or standards). The customer benefits from such ongoing Software development and accordingly acknowledges in return, that there may be times when temporary maintenance takes place in connection with any updates and upgrades. PlanRadar will notify the customer in good time if there will be any significant changes in service performance. If the customer experiences unacceptable disadvantages as a result of the service changes, the customer will be entitled to terminate the contract extraordinarily within 14 days of receipt of the notification of the service changes with such termination taking effect on the date on which the changes will become effective.

3.3 The customer has the option of using the Software free of charge for a period of 30 days after registration (test phase). Before the end of this free trial phase, PlanRadar will contact the customer and inform the customer of the option to take out a contract in return for payment to continue to use the Software. If the customer does not take up this option, the customer’s user account will be locked and then deleted after 30 days at the earliest.

3.4 PlanRadar is only responsible for the services that PlanRadar itself provides. The customer may not raise any claims against PlanRadar for any Software malfunctions caused by the customer or a third party intervention.

3.5 The place of PlanRadar’s service provision is the router exit to the Internet located at the data center used by PlanRadar. The customer’s end devices and the Internet connection are not part of PlanRadar’s service.

3.6 PlanRadar shall be responsible for an appropriate backup of the customer’s project data. Should a restoration of project data be necessary, it will be carried out free of charge, provided that the customer or its users are not responsible for the loss of data; if the customer or its users are responsible for the loss of data, the customer will bear the costs associated with the restoration of data according to the applicable price list. PlanRadar points out that a restoration of data is only possible for a maximum period of 30 days.

4. The Customer’s Duties

4.1 The customer undertakes to only use the Software according to these General Terms and Conditions as well as according to any individual agreements. The customer must ensure that all of its users (employees or other third parties attributable to the customer) also comply with the relevant terms. The customer is liable to PlanRadar for all damages resulting from the violation of the customer’s or its users’ obligations, particularly in the case of any illegal use of the Software.

4.2 The customer shall only use the software for its intended purpose and shall not misuse it, in particular not use it to store or distribute unlawful content. The customer further undertakes not to use any technical equipment, software systems or other data that could impair the Software or systems of PlanRadar.

4.3 The customer must maintain its own IT infrastructure that is required to use the Software at its own expense and own risk. The customer is responsible for meeting the system requirements (https://www.planradar.com/system-requirements-and-security/).

4.4 The customer must secure its login details to the Software and not make them accessible to third parties. The customer must ensure that mobile devices are protected in an adequate manner (e.g. pin code, biometric security features).

4.5 PlanRadar may block the customer’s access to the Software in the event of a breach of these General Terms and Conditions or of any individual agreements, particularly if the customer defaults on payment. This does not affect the customer’s duty to continue paying the contractual user fee. In addition, the customer must reimburse PlanRadar for any costs incurred in connection with the blocking of the customer’s access.

4.6 The customer agrees that PlanRadar may use the customer’s company logo for marketing purposes for the duration of the contract, in particular the customer agrees to be named as a reference customer on the PlanRadar website.

5. Rights of use

5.1 All rights to the Software belong to PlanRadar. The customer is only granted the non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to use the software to the agreed extent and within the agreed number of licenses during the contract period. In particular, the customer may only duplicate the Software to the extent necessary for the intended use of the Software (e.g. loading into the main memory of the various terminals). The customer is not permitted to reproduce, sell, rent or lend the Software or parts of it in any other way or to transfer it to third parties or to grant them sublicenses. The customer is allowed to temporarily assign subcontractor access with limited functionalities in accordance with the product description of the Software.

5.2 Unless otherwise agreed, no further rights to the Software are granted to the customer. In particular, the customer shall not acquire any rights whatsoever in the Software, and in particular no copyright, no trademark, patent, or other intellectual property rights.

5.3 The number of licenses booked by the customer is contractually determined within a license package. Within the agreed number, the licenses can be activated freely by the customer. The price agreed for the license package applies irrespective of the number of licenses activated; it is therefore the responsibility of the customer to have the licenses activated or, in the case of self-administration, to do this himself. All full-value (in-house) users count as a license.

5.4 The client can acquire further licenses at any time, which will be invoiced to them on a pro rata basis during the remaining term of the contract and in accordance with the applicable price list. In the event of activation during a month, the days up to the beginning of the next month will be charged pro rata.

5.5 For third-party software products provided to the customer by PlanRadar, the respective license terms of the manufacturer of these software products shall take precedence over the provisions of this section 5. With regard to the license terms of the third-party software products used within the scope of the software, we expressly refer to point 13. PlanRadar confirms that the customer will act in accordance with these license terms when using the software as intended.

5.6 The Customer is not entitled to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software unless (and only to the extent that) applicable law expressly and compulsorily permits it, notwithstanding this limitation.

5.7 In case the plans included in the licenses are exceeded, the license model will be adjusted in consultation with the customer.

5.8 Points 5.1 and 5.2 apply mutatis mutandis to all documents provided by PlanRadar to the customer, in particular, to the Software documentation.

6. Warranty, liability and malfunctions

6.1 PlanRadar provides the Software to the customer according to principles of “reasonable best efforts”. PlanRadar will therefore make every economically reasonable effort to ensure that the use of the Software is as uninterrupted as possible and will correct software errors that restrict the use of the software.

6.2 PlanRadar assumes no warranty or liability for the permanent availability of the Software or that the Software will be free from errors. The customer expressly acknowledges that, according to the current state of technology, it is not possible to completely exclude all errors from the Software. Connection errors or necessary maintenance work by PlanRadar can also result in temporary malfunctions. Insofar as for individual cases the liability cannot be effectively excluded, improvement shall take priority over a price reduction or cancellation of the contract.

6.3 PlanRadar shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damage to the customer or third parties caused by malfunctions or for damage to the customer’s end devices. Compensation for consequential damage such as loss of earnings or lost profits is excluded, as is liability for damages to the customer due to project delays. Likewise, PlanRadar is not liable for any loss of savings or for damages resulting from third-party claims.

6.4 PlanRadar is only liable in the event of intent and gross negligence. In addition, PlanRadar’s liability for each damage causing event, even if there are multiple injured parties, is limited to a total of 40 000 AED. If the total damage is higher, claims for damages by the individual injured parties will be reduced proportionately.

6.5 PlanRadar cannot exclude the possibility of data loss or other impairments, in particular due to impairments in the customer’s internet connections in the course of synchronization processes. PlanRadar assumes no liability for this either.

6.6 PlanRadar is not liable for damage and defects that are due to improper operation, changed operating system components, interfaces and parameters, changes to the necessary system settings or simple application errors by or of the customer. Likewise, PlanRadar is not liable for disruptions in the public communication networks or noncompliance with the system requirements for the customer (current system requirements for using the software can be found at https://www.planradar.com/system-requirements-and-security/ ).

6.7 The customer will immediately inform PlanRadar of any malfunctions and, if possible, with a comprehensible description of the error so a correction can be made as soon as possible. The customer will free of charge assist PlanRadar to remedy any malfunctions. Any rectification of malfunctions by PlanRadar requires in any case that the customer has fully met its payment obligations.

6.8 The software is not designed to be used in applications that require fail-safe performance or where failure of the Software could directly result in death, injury, serious property damage or environmental damage.

6.9 To the extent and as far as obligations relating to the Software are affected due to force majeure, including war, terrorism, natural disasters, fire, strike, lockout, embargo, governmental intervention, epidemic or pandemic, power supply failure, transport failure, telecommunication network or data lines, or legislative changes effected after conclusion of the contract or other unavailability of the Software cannot be rectified on time or not in a proper manner, this does not constitute a breach of contract and does not entitle the customer to any claims against PlanRadar.

7. Data protection

 7.1 As a user of the software, the customer is the person responsible for data protection, PlanRadar is merely a processor. Additional processing will be undertaken by PlanRadar GmbH (Austria) and data (including personal data) relating to this Agreement will be transferred to and hosted in the European Union. For this purpose, a separate contract for processing will be concluded; in the absence of an individually agreed contract for processing, the standard contract for processing by PlanRadar will apply.

7.2 As the person responsible, the customer is in charge of compliance with the provisions of the United Arab Emirates Federal Data Protection Law No 45 of 2021. Insofar as the customer processes personal data when using the software (e.g. enters, processes, stores or transmits personal data to PlanRadar), it guarantees that it is entitled to do so in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations.

8. Confidentiality

8.1 The customer and PlanRadar mutually undertake to treat all business and trade secrets of the respective other party obtained in connection with this contract and its execution as such as confidential and not to make them accessible to third parties, unless they are generally known, or were already known to the recipient beforehand without an obligation to secrecy, or are communicated or provided to the recipient by a third party without an obligation to secrecy, or have demonstrably been developed independently by the recipient, or are to be disclosed due to a legally binding official or judicial decision.

9.3 Termination must take place in writing or via the PlanRadar platform by an administrator appointed and authorised by the customer.

9.4 A complete termination requires a termination of the entire license package.

9.5 If the contract is terminated before the end of the contract period, no credit is granted for the remaining contract period.

The ineffective or unenforceable provision is to be replaced by a corresponding valid regulation as close as possible to the economic purpose of the ineffective or unenforceable clause.

12.2 The right to claim a reduction by more than half (laesio enormis) is excluded.
