2.2. If the Commercial Customer is a natural person, the User warrants that the User is legally in a position to conclude an agreement (e.g. is not underage). If a person concludes the User Agreement as a representative of a legal entity, e.g. of the business for which the person works, this person assures the Provider that the legal entity is organised in accordance with the regulations under the law of the country in which it is incorporated or registered and that the person is authorised to represent the legal entity.
2.3. After entering into the User Agreement, the User can use and book various services ("Services"), namely the following:
a) Free of charge services ("Basic Services"),
b) Paid-for services that expand on or modify the Basic Services ("Premium Services")
3.1. The Services available via MeasureOn include, e.g. software functions, data, posts, image and audio documents, information and other content ("Content").
3.2.

It cannot be guaranteed that access to, or use of, the Basic Services will not be interrupted or impacted by maintenance work, further developments or other disruptions.
b) Unless otherwise agreed, the Provider guarantees an availability of 98% per calendar year for Premium Services. This excludes times at which these Premium Services cannot be accessed due to technical or other problems not attributable to the Provider, or due to maintenance work, which may be carried out every day between 12 midnight and 4 a.m. CET.
4.1. Access to MeasureOn Pro Export & Cloud require a user account, made available to the User by the Provider (as described in Section 5). To access MeasureOn Free App and MeasureOn Pro Export no user account is required, however the User must agree to the validity of these Terms and Conditions of Use when first accessing the App. For MeasureOn Free App and MeasureOn Pro Export optional user accounts are available.
4.2. The User is responsible for ensuring that the technical requirements (particularly in terms of required hardware, web browser, mobile device, Internet access) for use of the Services in accordance with the agreement are met and maintained within the User's area of responsibility.
4.3. In order to be able to use the Services via the App, the User must download and install the App on the User’s smartphone or tablet.

The operating instructions shall only be used for the service specifications and do not include quality agreements or guarantees.
4.4. Some Services may require special, compatible hardware which must be linked to the App and to the user account. These Services are specified in our Service description. If the User is no longer authorised to use the hardware (e.g. due to transfer), they are obliged to disconnect the hardware.
5.1. Registration is completed via the App or alternatively via the Provider's Website and requires use of an authentication service (e.g. Bosch ID, SingleKey ID). Different contractual conditions apply for the authentication service, which must be accepted by the User separately during registration for the authentication service.
5.2. In connection with entering the login data for the authentication service, the User will as necessary be asked to submit personal data, e.g. name, address ("Registration Data"). This Registration Data must be complete and correct and must always be kept up to date. Only an authorised natural person may register a legal entity and that person must be mentioned by name.
5.3. In order to complete the registration process and submit the Registration Data, the User must agree to the validity of these Terms and Conditions of Use.
5.4. In submitting the Registration Data, the User makes an offer to the Provider to enter into the User Agreement on the basis of these Terms and Conditions of Use. The User’s offer in case of an registration is accepted by the Provider via an e-mail confirmation and activation of the user account.
5.5. The Provider reserves the right to verify the identity of the User straight after submitting the Registration Data or at a later point in time, by clicking on an activation link which is sent to the User's e-mail address or by entering a code which is sent to the User's mobile phone number. The user account remains locked until the User provides the necessary verification. If the registration is not completed, the Provider shall reserve the right to delete the incomplete user account.
5.6. There is no entitlement to registration. The Provider can decline a registration within a reasonable period of time and without stating the reasons for doing so.
5.7. Each natural person is only permitted to register once with a user account. User accounts are non-transferable.
5.8. If feasible, the Commercial Customer is authorised to create several Users under their one user account. Each User is issued individual access data, which can be linked with an authentication service. The Commercial Customer guarantees that all Users shall comply with these Terms and Conditions of Use in the current applicable version and that all Users will act in the name of the Commercial Customer and in accordance with all applicable laws. When a User is set up, all of the User's activities are assigned to the Commercial Customer.
5.9. The User is obligated to handle the access data carefully, not pass it on to third parties and/or not allow third parties to gain access to the user account by bypassing the access data. The User shall be liable for all activities that take place using their user account and for which the User is accountable. The User shall change the password for their user account immediately, should there be reason to believe that their access data is known to unauthorised persons.
6.1. Where available, the User can book Premium Services via the App. The use of Premium Services is subject to these Terms and Conditions of Use, provided the booking does not specify conditions of use that diverge from these. The processing of the in-app purchase is carried out by the respective app store. The conclusion of the contract and the payment processing are governed by the terms and conditions of the respective app store. To this end, the User may be required to provide additional data to the specific store operator, such as credit card information or VAT identification number, in order to create a billing profile.
6.2. During the order process, the User is shown the key features of the product, the prices, the payment terms, term of agreement, termination notice period and other details ("Product Information"). End Users shall receive additional information regarding their right to cancel.
6.3. If Premium Services are available to order via the App, the following applies:
a) To start a booking, the User clicks on the desired subscription version. On the following page, the User receives an overview with the Product Information. In the next step, the User can select the duration and, if necessary, the payment method.
b) To correct input errors (e.g. in the term of the contract ), the User can switch to the respective previous page using the back button (arrow). The booking process can be cancelled at any time, e.g. by closing the page.
c) By clicking the button "Order subject to payment", the User submits a binding offer to book the Premium Service. After sending the booking, the User will receive an automatic confirmation of receipt of the order from the respective app store by e-mail, in which the booking is listed again.
d) The text of the agreement for the respective order will be sent to the User by the respective App Store on a durable medium (e.g. e-mail). The Provider does not save the text of the agreement, therefore the text of the agreement can no longer be retrieved for the User.
6.4. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the following legal regulations regarding the general obligations within electronic business transactions shall not apply for Premium Service orders made by Commercial Customers:
a) provision of appropriate, effective and accessible technical resources, which the Commercial Customer can use to recognise and correct incorrect data entries prior to submitting an order;
b) the clear and easy-to-understand communication of the information specified in Article 246c of the Introductory Act to the German Civil Code in good time before an order is submitted;
c) the immediate confirmation of the receipt of the Commercial Customer's order by electronic means.
6.5. The Provider can also offer Premium Services free of charge on a trial basis for a specific period ("Trial Subscription"). If the Trial Subscription is not cancelled before this period ends, a fee-paying subscription will commence from the first day after the end of the Trial Subscription.
7.1. Taking the following regulations into account, the Provider can allow the User as necessary to post, upload, save, create, share, send or display their own Content ("User Content") and make it available to third parties – (known as "Submission").
7.2. The User undertakes to refrain from submitting User Content which, in terms of content, type, design or in any other way, violates the Terms and Conditions of Use, current laws, accepted principles of morality or third-party rights.
7.3. The Provider can define rules of conduct for the Submission of User Content, as well as for communication and interaction with other Users.
7.4. For the purposes of providing MeasureOn and the Services provided via it, the User shall grant the Provider a simple, irrevocable, free-of-charge right of use, which is transferable to third parties and has no restriction on time or location, by submitting User Content. This includes in particular the right of reproduction, the right of distribution and the right to communication to the public, especially the right to making accessible to the public. The User Content shall remain the property of the respective User.
7.5. If the User has submitted User Content in connection with a Premium Service, the right of use granted in accordance with Section 7.4 shall expire when the termination takes effect or if the End User withdraws from the User Agreement. This shall not apply if the User Content:
a) has no use outside the context of the Premium Services;
b) is exclusively connected to the use of the Premium Services by the User;
c) has been combined with other data by the Provider and cannot be separated or only with disproportionate effort, or;
d) has been generated by the User together with other Users, provided other Users can continue to use the User Content.
7.6. The provisions of Section 18 shall take precedence for personal User Content.
7.7. The User waives the right to be named as author.
7.8. Where the Provider expressly offers the option to remove submitted User Content, the above rights of use and exploitation shall lapse when the User Content is erased. However, the Provider remains entitled to retain copies created for the purposes of data back-up or evidence, while respecting data protection laws.
7.9. The User shall be responsible for the User Content they post. The Provider shall not check User Content for completeness, accuracy, lawfulness, up-to-dateness, quality or suitability for a particular purpose.
7.10. The Provider shall be entitled to reject the posting of User Content and/or to edit, block or remove User Content already posted without prior notice, where the posting of User Content by the User, or the posted User Content itself, violates these Terms and Conditions of Use , the code of conduct or statutory regulations, or where the User has otherwise breached its contractual obligations. In doing so, the Provider shall give consideration to the legitimate interests of the User and select the least stringent means of defence against the violation. The Provider shall notify the User of said measures via e-mail.
8.1. All rights to the Provider's Services and their content ("MeasureOn Content") are the exclusive property of the Provider or its licensors and shall be protected by copyright or other intellectual property rights. The composition of MeasureOn Content is therefore also protected by copyright.
8.2. MeasureOn Content shall only be accessed online and displayed for the User's own purposes for the term of the User Agreement. The User is prohibited from reproducing, distributing and/or publishing MeasureOn Content.
8.3. If MeasureOn is used for a commercial or professional activity, the Commercial Customer may use the MeasureOn Content available via MeasureOn exclusively for their own internal business purposes. Any further commercial use of the available MeasureOn Content is prohibited (see also Section 10).
9.1. Under some circumstances, MeasureOn and the Services contain links to content that is not provided exclusively by the Provider, but by Users, partners or third parties (referred to collectively as "Third-Party Content").
9.2. This may also include the option to connect the user account or the Services to Third-Party Content that is part of an application offered by a third party (e.g., a third-party app) ("Third-Party Services"). Where the User uses Third-Party Services, the User shall be responsible for any associated costs and for compliance with the terms and conditions applicable to the Third-Party Services.
9.3. The Provider does not check the completeness, accuracy or lawfulness of Third-Party Content or Third-Party Services, and does not endorse said content or services. In particular, the Provider does not review any security-related aspects in connection with Third-Party Content or Third-Party Services. Consequently, the Provider does not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, lawfulness or up-to-dateness of Third-Party Content or Third-Party Services. This also applies with regard to the quality of Third-Party Content and Third-Party Services and their suitability for a particular purpose, as well as – where Third-Party Content is located on linked external websites – to Content that can be viewed by means of framing.
9.4. At its own discretion, the Provider shall pursue any justified reports of breaches of these Terms and Conditions of Use or any unlawfulness of particular Third-Party Content or Third-Party Services (or parts thereof) and take appropriate action to resolve this if required. In particular, the Provider shall immediately remove unlawful Third-Party Content as soon as the Provider becomes aware of its unlawfulness and insofar as this is technically possible.
10.1. The Services available via MeasureOn are intended exclusively for lawful use by the User. Any use for other purposes is prohibited, unless such a use has been expressly agreed in advance and in writing by the Provider. Unauthorised use includes but is not limited to:

b) Offers, advertising and activities, such as competitions, prize draws, exchange deals, advertisements or multi-level marketing schemes.
c) Collection – digitally or otherwise – of identity and/or contact data (including e-mail addresses) from Users (e.g. in order to send unsolicited e-mails).
d) The exploitation of Services available via MeasureOn, including their associated Content, for a fee.
10.2. The User is prohibited from performing any activities on MeasureOn and in connection with the use of its Services should they violate these Terms and Conditions of Use, current laws or accepted principles of morality. The User undertakes in particular to observe current laws and to refrain from violating any third-party rights.
10.3. Any action that shall likely adversely affect the operation of MeasureOn, its Services and the relevant technical infrastructure is also prohibited. These include in particular (but are not limited to):
a) Sending Content with viruses, worms, malware, Trojans or malicious elements.
b) Using software, scripts or databases which have not been approved by the Provider in conjunction with the use of MeasureOn and its Services.
c) The automatic read-out, blocking, overwriting, modification, copying of data and/or other Content, provided that this is not required for the proper use of MeasureOn and its Services.
d) Decoding, decompiling, disassembling or reconstructing the source code, any software or proprietary algorithms in use, or attempting to find out about them in any other way, unless such is permitted on the grounds of mandatory inalienable regulations.
10.4. Should the User become aware of any use of the Services that is illegal, classified as misuse, contrary to contractual provisions or unauthorised in any other way, the User can contact Support.MeasureOn@de.bosch.com by e-mail. The Provider shall then check the activity and introduce appropriate steps, where necessary.
10.5. In the event of material breaches of these obligations by the User, the Provider is entitled to terminate the User Agreement for good cause in accordance with Section 14.
11.1. The Provider can block User access to MeasureOn and/or Services, if the Provider determines that
a) the use of MeasureOn and/or use of the Services (i) present a security risk for MeasureOn and/or the Services and/or a third party; (ii) have an adverse effect on MeasureOn and/or the Services or the systems or Content of another User; (iii) violate current laws or third-party rights; (iv) could make the Provider, its associated businesses or third parties liable for damage; or (v) is fraudulent.

c) the User is in default of payment for more than 30 days.
11.2. The Provider shall inform the User of the intention to block by sending notification to the e-mail address associated with the user account before blocking access, unless the Provider has to act immediately for urgent reasons and is therefore unable to give prior notification to the User.
11.3. The block will be lifted as soon as the User has resolved the issue which led to access being blocked.
11.4. The Provider's right to block the User's access to MeasureOn and/or the Services is in addition to the Provider's right to terminate these Terms and Conditions of Use as stipulated in Section 14 and to pursue other claims available to the Provider under applicable law.
12.1. Registration and access to MeasureOn and the use of Basic Services are free of charge. As regards the use of the Premium Services, the prices stated at the time of booking shall apply. All prices stated for End Users are inclusive of VAT.

12.3. Information about prices, time of payment and any additional costs can be accessed in the App or via the respective app-store.
12.4. Insofar as Premium Services are booked via the App, payments shall be processed via the respective app store.

In the event of contradictions between the app store terms and conditions and these Terms of Use, the app store terms and conditions shall take precedence.
13.1. As a consumer, the End User shall have the right of cancellation in accordance with the guidelines set out in Section 13.4. A consumer is any natural person who completes a transaction for purposes that are predominantly attributable to neither their commercial nor self-employed activity.
13.2. The right of cancellation shall expire for agreements for the provision of Services also under the following conditions:
a) In the case of an agreement which does not obligate the End User to make a payment if the Provider has rendered the Service in full.
b) In the case of an agreement which obligates the End User to make a payment if the Provider renders the Service in full if, before the start of Service provision, the End User (i) has expressly agreed that the Provider shall start the provision of the Service before expiry of the cancellation period, (ii) in the case of an agreement entered into outside the business premises, has given its consent in accordance with this Section on a permanent data carrier, and (iii) has confirmed that End User is aware that their right of cancellation shall expire upon fulfilment of the agreement by the Provider.

20.4.
