7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Provider's Rights

All rights to the Platform, including software, source code, design, trademarks, logos, and documentation, remain the exclusive property of the Provider or its licensors. The Customer is granted a simple, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to use the Platform for the duration of the contractual relationship.

The Customer retains all rights to the content and data they enter or upload to the Platform. The Provider receives a limited license to use such data solely for the purpose of providing the contractually agreed services.

7.3 Aggregated Data

The Provider is entitled to use anonymized and aggregated usage data for the purpose of improving and further developing the Platform, as well as for statistical analysis, provided that no conclusions can be drawn about individual Customers.

8. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

The Platform uses artificial intelligence to generate response suggestions, sentiment analyses, and other content. The following conditions apply to all AI-generated content:

  • AI-generated responses are to be understood as suggestions only and do not constitute binding recommendations from the Provider.
  • The Customer is required to independently review, adapt, and verify all AI-generated content for accuracy, appropriateness, and legal compliance before publication.
  • The Provider makes no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness of AI-generated content for any particular purpose.
  • Responsibility for the publication of any content, including content based on AI suggestions, lies solely with the Customer.

9. Data Protection

The protection of personal data is of paramount importance to the Provider. For detailed information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data, as well as the rights of data subjects, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Where the Provider processes personal data on behalf of the Customer, a data processing agreement in accordance with Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be concluded. The Provider ensures compliance with all applicable data protection requirements.

10. Availability and Service Level

10.1 Uptime Target

The Provider targets a Platform availability of 99.9% on an annual average basis, measured at the internet handover point. Scheduled maintenance is conducted outside of standard business hours whenever possible and will be announced in advance.

10.2 Third-Party Platforms

The availability and functionality of connected third-party platforms (e.g., Google, Trustpilot, Yelp) is beyond the Provider's control. The Provider assumes no responsibility for the accessibility, data quality, or API compatibility of these external services.

10.3 Force Majeure

Service interruptions caused by force majeure, strikes, government orders, or other circumstances beyond the Provider's control do not constitute a breach of contract and do not give rise to any claims for damages.

11. Limitation of Liability

11.1 General

The Provider shall have unlimited liability for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health caused by intentional or negligent breach of duty by the Provider, as well as for damages caused by intentional or grossly negligent conduct.

11.2 Limitation for Slight Negligence

In cases of slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), the Provider's liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damages. Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on whose compliance the Customer may regularly rely.

11.3 Liability Cap

The Provider's total aggregate liability for all claims arising in connection with the contract shall be limited to the fees paid by the Customer during the twelve-month period preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

11.4 Exclusion of Indirect Damages

To the extent permitted by law, liability for indirect damages, lost profits, data loss, or damages arising from business interruption is excluded.

12. Termination and Cancellation

12.1 Term

The contract commences upon registration and acceptance of these Terms. For paid subscription plans, the minimum term corresponds to the selected billing period (monthly or annual).

12.2 Ordinary Termination

For monthly billing, the contract may be terminated at any time with 30 days' notice effective at the end of the current billing period. For annual billing, termination is possible with 30 days' notice effective at the end of the annual term. Cancellation may be submitted through the account settings on the Platform or by email to support@reputationradar.de.

12.3 Extraordinary Termination

Both parties reserve the right to extraordinary termination for good cause. Good cause for the Provider exists in particular if the Customer materially breaches these Terms or is more than 30 days in arrears with payment despite a formal reminder.

12.4 Data After Contract Termination

Following termination of the contract, the Provider will make the Customer's data available for export for a period of 30 days. After this period, the data will be irreversibly deleted, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the conflict-of-law rules of international private law.

If the Customer is a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code (HGB), a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the contractual relationship shall be Berlin, Germany.

14. Severability

Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision that most closely reflects the economic purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision. The same applies to any gaps in these Terms.

15. Changes to Terms

The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time with effect for the future. The Customer will be informed of material changes at least 30 days prior to their effective date by email or through a notification on the Platform.

If the Customer does not object to the amended Terms within 30 days of receiving the change notification, the amended Terms shall be deemed accepted. The Provider will specifically inform the Customer in the change notification of the significance of the 30-day period and the consequences of not objecting.
