TERMS OF USE FOR SNOOPERATOR
Recitals
The following Terms of Use apply to the platform of snoopstar GmbH (hereinafter: the “Service Provider”) online available at URL https://my.snoopstar.com. The user (hereinafter: the “Client”) is permitted to use the content and functions for his or her own purposes within the scope of the Terms of Use. The use of certain content or features may be subject to special terms. Such separately shown terms apply in addition to these Terms of Use.
I. Subject matter of the platform
(1) The Service Provider provides a platform at URL https://my.snoopstar.com. On this platform, registered Clients are offered the opportunity to upload objects and related information in the form of texts and images. Apart from products, especially advertisements, buildings and other tags are considered as objects.
(2) In addition to the platform, the Service Provider operates a free “snoopstar” app. The app serves as an interface through which the app users may retrieve actively used information uploaded by the Client to the platform.
(3) Using the camera of their device or terminal (smartphone or tablet), users of the “snoopstar” app may retrieve the uploaded and actively used information. For this purpose, the user scans an object with the camera. If this object has previously been uploaded to the platform by the Client and actively used by the Client, the “target” set by the Client will be recognised and the information stored by the Client will be displayed in the terminal’s or device’s camera via “augmented reality”.
II. Log-in and registration process
(1) The Client is obliged to select a secure password and to keep it secret. The Client is not entitled to pass on the password to third parties.
(2) The password must be at least eight characters long and must contain letters and at least one digit.
(3) After successful registration, the Client will receive a confirmation by email to the email address stored upon registration.
III. Terms of Use
(1) Objects are uploaded to the snoopstar platform according to the “first come, first serve principle”. Each object may be uploaded to the platform only once. As long as the object is on the platform, this object is blocked and cannot be uploaded again.
(2) When uploading a new object, the Service Provider performs a collision check. If an object is already on the platform, a re-upload to the platform is prohibited. In the event of a collision, the Service Provider reserves the right to delete objects that are already on the platform and to prevent further uploading to the platform.
(3) The Client is responsible for uploading object information. In order for an object to be recognised during scanning with the “snoopstar” app, the Client must define an area of the object as recognition feature (so-called target). The Client selects the “target”. The Service Provider does not review or process the “target”.
(4) The Client may, at any time, delete an object or object-related information or may upload new objects to the platform and actively use them within the scope of the chosen package.
IV. Selection of package and term
The client can contact the Service Provider for booking his individual package. Every package includes
- a term of the package as well as clearly defined object update cycles
- a price for the maximum number of concurrently active objects which are included in the package
- a price for the maximum number of monthly recognitions included in the package
The client shall therefore sign an individual contract with the Service Provider to which these Terms of Use will be attached.
V. Due date for payment and payment methods
The terms of payment will be settled within the individual contract which will be signed between the client and the Service Provider.
VI. Upgrade
The Client may upgrade his current package at any time. For this, the client shall contact the Service Provider.
VII. Overage regarding object recognitions
(1) Depending on the selected package, the Client is entitled to a certain number of monthly object recognitions. The number determines how many object recognitions are maximally performed by the “snoopstar” app per month.
(2) The Client is notified by email about the upcoming recognition limit twice before reaching the number of recognitions included in the booked package.
(3) After reaching the recognition limit of the booked package, the object is no longer scannable for this month using the “snoopstar” app. During this period, the user cannot retrieve the information about the object stored by the Client.
(4) The client may raise or cancel the recognition limit for the current month. In this case, the Client is charged a contractually settled amount for each additional recognition that is no longer included in the package.
VIII. Overage regarding active objects
(1) Depending on the selected package, the Client is entitled to actively use a certain number of objects on the platform simultaneously each month during the entire contract term.
(2) If the Client wishes to actively use more objects on the platform at the same time than are covered by the respective contractually agreed package, the Client may book an upgrade which will be charged on a monthly basis for each additional active object and for an amount per additional active object as settled in the individual contract signed between the client and the Service Provider.
IX. Limitation of liability of the Service Provider
(1) The use of the Internet is at Client’s risk. The Service Provider is not liable in particular for technical failure and access to the Internet.
(2) The Service Provider is excluded from liability for any damage claims. This does not apply to claims of the Client resulting from injury to life, limb, health or the violation of material contractual obligations (cardinal duties) as well as liability for other damage that is based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Service Provider, its legal representatives or vicarious agents. Material contractual obligations are obligations whose fulfilment is necessary to achieve the object of the contract. In case of breach of material contractual obligations, the Service Provider is only liable for contractually typical, foreseeable damage. The provision of the platform is essential to the contract.
(3) Provisions of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected by this exclusion of liability.
