Terms of service, terms of use and
privacy information for the
IDERI note mobile push notification
service
I. Service
description
1. procedure
a) Test order / Order
In the first step, the
customer must order the licenses online in a binding manner and agree on the
associated order processing provisions. This also applies to the free order of
test licenses.
b) Installation of
certificates on the customer's push server
For the installation
the customer needs the company name exactly as it is stored at IDERI and his
license key. Then, at the customer's instigation, the private and public keys
of the customer's push server are generated and a Certification Signing Request
as well as customer name and license number are sent to the IDERI note Push-Relay . There, the license is verified and, if positive, a
certificate is generated for the customer using the self-signed Certification
Authority key. The customer's license information contains the license data
(number, term) in encrypted form.
c) Entry in the
directory
The certificate and the
private key (complete certificate chain in PEM format) must be entered by the
customer in the local registration database of the IDERI note server, so that
it can also authenticate the mobile devices, which cannot themselves be members
of the customer's AD.
d) App download and
registration of the mobile devices
The user downloads the IDERI
note app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Next, he must agree to
the present Terms of Use for the functional explanation of the service and for
the use of his personal data, otherwise the service cannot be provided. At the
same time, he receives the data protection information according to Art. 13 GDPR
in this document.
The individual user
must first register with the Apple Push Notification Services (APNS; for IOS
devices) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM; for Android devices) and with the
customer's IDERI Push Server. In doing so, the user receives a push token from
the respective gateway and the public keys required for end-to-end encryption
are exchanged between the user and the IDERI note Server.
e) Sending of Push
Messages
Push notifications can
only be received if the user has explicitly agreed to the push procedure.
Push messages are sent
via the customer's IDERI note server and the IDERI note Push Relay of IDERI
GmbH, which sends the push messages to the respective push gateway of the
mobile operating system provider (IOS and Android). The IDERI Push Relay is
operated in the EU or Germany Cloud by Microsoft Azure from Microsoft Ireland.
The maintenance of the EU and Germany Cloud is partly done from countries
outside the EU and EEA.
The data is then sent
encrypted via the push gateways of Google and Apple, but these can only read
metadata, the content data is end-to-end encrypted with the recipient's public key
in addition to the transport layer encryption and cannot be read by the push
gateway operators.
IDERI GmbH has
concluded data protection agreements with Microsoft, Google
and Apple, as well as the validity of the EU standard contractual clauses of
4.6.21.
f) Log files
For the operation of
the IDERI note server, relays and gateways and for
troubleshooting on server, relay and gateway, the validity period, IP address,
sender and length of the message are each recorded as a log file and stored for
6 months. The encrypted content data will be stored for the period of 6 months
as well.
II. Terms of Use
1. registration to
receive push messages
To register for the
push messages, you must consent to receive push messages. In this process, the
registration time, device ID and push token assigned by the push gateway will
be stored. In addition, a key pair is created for you, which ensures the
end-to-end encryption of the push messages from the operator of the IDERI note
server to you. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 I a GDPR.
2. receipt of push
messages
If you have registered
and consented to receive push messages, you will receive messages from the
operator of the associated IDERI note server. In the process, the time of the
message, the validity period, the sender and the IP
address of the recipient are recorded by the operator of the IDERI note server
(sender) and the push relay (IDERI GmbH). The validity period of the message,
the push token and the IP of the recipient are recorded by the operator of the
push gateway (Google or Apple). The content of the message is not known to the
operator of the relay or the operator of the gateway, as the message is
end-to-end encrypted.
3. purposes of
processing
The data is only used
for the operation of the push dispatch as well as for its verification in case
of errors and discrepancies during dispatch on the basis of Art. 6 I a GDPR vis-à-vis the user and according to Art. 6 I b
vis-à-vis the IDERI note server operator. In addition, the data is evaluated in
anonymous form for statistical purposes on the basis of
Art.6 I f GDPR.
4. consent
You can revoke your
consent to the use of your personal data to receive our push notifications at
any time with effect for the future. You can revoke your consent in the
settings for receiving push notifications in the IDERI note app or centrally in
the settings of your device for the permissions of the IDERI note app. You can
object to the use for statistical purposes at any time, as
long as this data has not been anonymized.
5 License management
The operator of the IDERI
note server is obliged to prove the number of licenses used and the consent of
the recipients by technical means or by separate declaration to IDERI GmbH. For
this purpose the customer can show to the company e.g.
the list of issued certificates for the mobile gateway access. The user agrees
with the license control, as this is necessary for the operation of the
services.
6. content restriction
for push messages
The IDERI note Relay
may not be used for vital purposes and purposes required for the operation of
critical infrastructure or concerning their data (e.g.
stock exchange announcements).
7. liability
Due to the technical
design and the lack of verifiability of the push message dispatch, the
respective delivery of the push message can neither be guaranteed by the
operator of the push relay nor by the operator of the push gateway (Google or
Apple, respectively). For this reason, no liability can be assumed for the
actual delivery, it is only assured that at least one forwarding of the push
message to the push gateway is undertaken. Depending on the
feedback of the gateway and the respective validity period of the message, it
is possible that further delivery attempts will be made, but no liability can
be assumed for this, nor for the correct feedback of the push gateway for the
receipt of the message, as this is beyond the control of the relay operator.
In addition, the
general terms and conditions of the relay operator apply.

the customer is Art. 6 I b GDPR and vis-à-vis the user Art. 6 I a GDPR.
If the processing is
necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural
person, it is also possible to send information on the basis
of Art. 6 I d GDPR.
4. recipients of
personal data
Recipients of messages
are the employees designated by the customer or other authorized recipients on
behalf of the customer. The data is sent encrypted via the push gateways of
Google and Apple, but these can only read metadata, the content data is
end-to-end encrypted with the recipient's public key in addition to the
transport encryption and cannot be read by the push gateway operators.
5. storage period
The contents of the
messages will be deleted no later than 6 months after the initial sending of
the message. This also applies to metadata and log data,
unless longer storage is necessary for the defense of legal claims or to
combat abuse or troubleshooting. Log data is also stored for a maximum of 6
months and then either deleted or completely anonymized for further use for
statistical purposes.
6. data subject
rights
You have a right to

1 SCOPE
1.1 Our offers, services and deliveries are made
exclusively on the basis of these terms and
conditions. These terms and conditions shall be deemed accepted at the latest
upon receipt of the service. Counter-confirmations with reference to our own
terms and conditions are hereby contradicted unless we have explicitly agreed
to their validity.
1.2 Individual agreements take precedence over these
terms and conditions.
2 OFFER
2.1 Our offers are always subject to change and
non-binding.
2.2 We reserve the right to make technical and design
deviations from descriptions and information in brochures, catalogues
and written documents, as well as changes in the course of technical progress,
without this giving rise to any rights against us.
3 PRICES
3.1 All prices are ex registered office Ostfildern. Any agreements to the contrary must be
expressly confirmed.
3.2 Price quotations which are recognisably
directed exclusively at commercial customers shall, in case of doubt, be
understood to be exclusive of statutory value added tax.
4 PERFORMANCE TIME
4.1 The dates and deadlines stated by us are
non-binding unless expressly agreed otherwise.
4.2 Delays in performance due to force majeure and/or
due to events that make performance significantly more difficult or impossible
for us, e.g. operational disruptions, strikes,
difficulties in procuring materials, official directives, etc., shall entitle
us to postpone delivery for the duration of the hindrance plus a reasonable
start-up period or to withdraw from the contract in whole or in part due to the
part that has not yet been fulfilled.
4.3 Otherwise, we shall only be in default if the
customer has set us a grace period of at least one month in writing. In the
event of default, the customer shall be entitled to compensation for default in
the amount of 0.5% for each full week of default, but in total up to 5% of the
invoice value of the services affected by the default. Claims beyond this, in particular claims for damages of any kind, are excluded.
4.4 If, at the request of the client, services already
scheduled have to be cancelled or postponed less than
10 working days before the agreed start of the service, we shall charge the
following cancellation fees: cancellation costs incurred for travel in the full
amount and a cancellation fee of 25% of the scheduled amount for the cancelled
services. In the event of cancellation or postponement less than 5 working days
before the agreed commencement of services, the cancellation fee shall be
increased to 50%; in the event of cancellation or postponement less than 2
working days before the agreed commencement of services, the cancellation fee
shall be increased to 100% of the scope provided for the cancelled services.
The customer reserves the right to prove that the cancellation has not led to
any damage or to a significantly lower damage than this flat rate.
4.5 Partial services and their separate invoicing are
permissible insofar as this is reasonable for the customer.
5 WARRANTY
5.1 The warranty period vis-à-vis consumers is 24
months, vis-à-vis entrepreneurs 12 months. In the case of digital products or
services, notwithstanding this No. 5, the statutory warranty and limitation
periods of §§ 327 ff. BGB.
5.2 The customer shall notify obvious defects in
writing without delay as soon as he becomes aware of them.
5.3 If a defect occurs, the customer is obliged to
report it in writing within two weeks of its first occurrence. Within the scope
of the written notice of defect, the defect and its manifestation shall be
described in such detail that it is possible to verify the defect.
5.4 If the notice of defect proves to be justified,
the customer shall set us a reasonable deadline for subsequent performance. The
customer shall inform us which type of subsequent performance - improvement of
the delivered item or delivery of a new, defect-free item - he wishes. However,
we shall be entitled to refuse the chosen subsequent performance if this can
only be carried out at disproportionate cost and if the other type of
subsequent performance, in the case of software e.g.
by means of updates or patches or workarounds, would not entail any significant
disadvantages for the customer. We may also refuse subsequent performance
altogether if it can only be carried out at disproportionate cost.
5.5 We are entitled to two attempts within the set
period to carry out subsequent performance for the same or directly related
defect. After the second failed attempt at subsequent performance, the customer
may withdraw from the contract or reduce the remuneration. The right of
withdrawal or reduction may already be exercised after the first unsuccessful
attempt at subsequent performance if further attempts within the set period
cannot reasonably be expected of the customer. Withdrawal due to an
insignificant defect is excluded.
5.6 In the event of material defects in hardware and
standard software supplied by third parties as well as in the event of the
involvement of third parties for maintenance services, we shall be entitled to
assign our corresponding claims against our supplier, the manufacturer or other
third parties to the customer for the purpose of rectification or replacement
delivery, unless this is unreasonable for the customer.
5.7 Damage caused by improper or non-contractual
measures taken by the customer during set-up, connection, installation, operation or storage shall not give rise to any claim
against us.
5.8 In the event of interventions by the customer in
the subject matter of the contract, in particular in
the programme code, which are not expressly permitted
by the operating instructions or other instructions for use, the customer shall
not be entitled to any claims for defects if the customer cannot demonstrate
and prove to us that the defect is not due to the intervention.
6. LIABILITY
6.1 Liability - irrespective of the legal grounds and in particular due to loss of confidentiality, availability
or integrity of data or consequential damage arising therefrom - is excluded
insofar as liability arises from the following provisions. We shall be liable for
intent and gross negligence in accordance with the statutory provisions. In the
event of slight negligence, we shall only be liable if a cardinal obligation
(obligation the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper
performance of the contract and the observance of which the contractual partner
may regularly rely on) is breached or in the event of default or impossibility.
In the event of liability arising from slight negligence, this liability shall
be limited to such damages as are foreseeable or typical, but no more than the
agreed remuneration. This limitation of liability shall also apply in the case
of liability for slight negligence in the event of initial incapacity.
Liability for the absence of warranted characteristics, for fraudulent intent,
for personal injury, defects of title, under the Product Liability Act and the
Federal Data Protection Act shall remain unaffected.
6.2 Liability due to interruption, malfunction or
other events causing damage, which are based on telecommunication services
provided by us or by third parties for which we are liable, is limited to the
amount of the recourse possible for us against the respective telecommunication
service provider. We shall not be liable for the functionality of the
communication facilities to the servers that are the subject of the contract,
in the event of power failures and in the event of failures of servers that are
not within our sphere of influence.
6.3 We are not responsible for material defects in
deliveries that we obtain from third parties and deliver to the customer
unchanged as agreed; liability in the event of intent or gross negligence
remains unaffected.
6.4 Liability for open source
software provided free of charge to the customer for installation alongside the
software supplied by us is excluded. In cases where our software does not
function without the open source software, liability
for the open source software is limited to intent and gross negligence. No
liability is assumed for the contents of the customer's data backups.
6.5 All claims directed against us are not assignable
without our written consent and can only be asserted by the customer itself,
insofar as §354a of the German Commercial Code (HGB) does not conflict with
this.
7 PAYMENT
7.1 All prices are exclusive of statutory VAT and, in
the case of deliveries of goods, exclusive of transport and insurance costs.
7.2 If acceptance has been agreed for the delivery or
service, we shall be entitled to invoice partial services already rendered,
which may be invoiced on a monthly basis.
7.3 Unless otherwise agreed, our invoices are due for
payment immediately without deduction.
7.4 We shall be entitled to set off payments against
the customer's older debt first, despite the customer's provisions to the
contrary. If costs and interest have already been incurred, the payments shall
be set off against the costs, then against the interest and finally against the
principal claim.
7.5 If the customer is in default, we shall be
entitled to charge interest from the relevant date at the rate customary in
banking, but at least 8% above the base rate.
7.6 If the customer does not fulfil his payment
obligations in accordance with the contract or if he suspends his payments or
if we become aware of other circumstances which call into question the
creditworthiness of the customer, we shall be entitled to declare the entire
remaining debt due or to demand advance payments or the provision of security.
7.7 The customer is only entitled to set-off,
retention or reduction, even if notices of defects or counterclaims are asserted, if we expressly agree or if counterclaims have
been legally established.
8. Retention of title
8.1 We retain title to the delivered goods until full
payment of the goods, vis-à-vis entrepreneurs until payment of all claims to
which we are entitled and which may still arise,
irrespective of the legal grounds.
8.2 Processing or transformation shall always be
carried out on our behalf, but without any obligation on our part. If our
(co-)ownership expires due to combination, it is already agreed now that the
customer's (co-)ownership of the uniform object shall pass to us in proportion
to the value (invoice value). The customer shall keep our (co-)ownership in
safe custody free of charge. Goods to which we are entitled to (co-)ownership
are hereinafter referred to as reserved goods.
8.3 The customer is entitled to process and sell the
reserved goods in the ordinary course of business as long as
he is not in default. Pledges or transfers by way of security are not
permitted. The customer hereby assigns to us by way of security all claims
arising from the resale or other legal grounds in respect of the goods subject
to retention of title. We authorise the customer in a
manner that is always revocable to collect the claims assigned to us for his
invoices in his own name. Upon our request, the customer shall disclose the
assignment and provide and submit the necessary information and documents.
8.4 In the event of access by third parties to the
goods subject to retention of title, in particular in the event of seizure, the
customer shall draw attention to our ownership and notify us immediately. Any
costs incurred shall be borne by the customer.
8.5 In the event of conduct by the customer in breach
of the contract, in particular in the event of default in payment, we shall be
entitled to take back the reserved goods at the customer's expense or, if
necessary, to demand assignment of the customer's claim for return against
third parties.
9 BACKUPS
9.1 The customer shall regularly make backup copies of
data and programmes (including the operating system)
on a suitable backup medium at short intervals and to an extent corresponding
to the risk.
9.2 The Customer shall ensure through regular tests
that the backups are readable and can be properly restored.
9.3 The Client shall ensure that backup data from the
last six months can be restored.
10 SERVICES
10.1 Projects may only be terminated in accordance
with the Contract at the end of the relevant Project Phase as set out in the
Statement of Work.
10.2 The contract shall only contain the respective
scope of services specified at the beginning of the project. Contract
amendments are only possible with our consent. We are not obliged to make
substantial changes to the contract. The customer undertakes to extend agreed
deadlines appropriately in the event of contract amendments.
11 SOFTWARE
11.1 We do not guarantee that the software will meet
the customer's special requirements or that it will work together with the
customer's programmes or the customer's existing hardware, unless this has been expressly promised by us in
writing.
11.2 The software development services to be provided
by us shall be governed by the specifications agreed by both parties as part of
the contract; clause10 .2 shall apply accordingly.
12 PROPERTY RIGHTS AND COPYRIGHTS
12.1 Third-party software that we are to install on
the customer's systems at the customer's request must be provided by the
customer. The customer shall ensure that the required number of software licences is provided in accordance with the terms of the licensor.
12.2 We shall indemnify
the customer against all claims brought against him in connection with the use
of the software created by us for infringement of copyrights, patents or other intellectual property rights, provided that
-
the customer informs us immediately of any allegations of infringement made,
-
the customer does not acknowledge any such claims without our consent,
-
the customer allows us to conduct all negotiations and proceedings and gives us
the necessary support, whereby all negotiation and procedural costs shall be
borne by us.
12.3 The foregoing
obligation shall not apply if the copyright or patent infringement or other
impairment of rights is due to the fact that the
software or parts thereof are used with devices or programs which were not
supplied by us or the combined use of which was not consented to.
12.4 The foregoing
provisions shall govern our entire liability in connection with any
infringement of copyright, patent rights or other intellectual property rights.
13. Acceptance
for work performance
13.1 After the
installation or completion of the subject matter of the contract and its
testing, we shall notify the customer in writing of its functionality and
request the customer to accept it.
13.2 The customer may
then check the functionality. In the event that
acceptance capability exists, the customer shall declare acceptance in writing
without delay - in case of doubt within ten working days.
13.3 If the customer
does not accept the goods within this period, acceptance shall nevertheless be
deemed to have taken place. The date of receipt of the letter by the customer
shall be decisive for the expiry of the deadline. If the customer puts the
software into operation or pays the remuneration without written objection,
this shall be deemed equivalent to acceptance.
13.4 Acceptance may not
be refused due to the existence of insignificant defects.
14. Confidentiality and secrecy
14.1 The parties
mutually undertake to keep all business and trade secrets, including offer
documents, secret and not to disclose them to third parties or to exploit them
in any way. The documents and other information which the respective other
contractual partner receives on the basis of the
business relationship may only be used by the latter within the scope of the
respective purpose of the contract.
14.2 The customer is in particular obliged to use all information about the
non-obvious components and properties of software created or adapted by us,
such as code and mode of operation, which it receives within the scope of its
contractual relationship with us only for the purposes of this contractual
relationship and otherwise to keep it secret. Any disclosure of such
information to third parties which is necessary for these purposes requires
that the customer imposes the same obligation of confidentiality on the
recipient of such information. The aforementioned obligation shall not apply to
such information which is demonstrably public knowledge
or which belongs to the known state of the art or which had already come to the
knowledge of the customer before it was disclosed by us or which was disclosed
to the customer again after it was disclosed by the other contracting party by
third parties who were not subject to any confidentiality obligation vis-à-vis
us.
14.3 The parties shall
ensure by means of suitable agreements with employees and other auxiliary staff
and vicarious agents and suitable organisational
measures that they are subject to the same duty of confidentiality.
14.4 These obligations
shall continue to apply after termination of the contract.
15. Data
protection
15.1 The Customer shall
ensure that its IT systems and data files comply with the provisions of the EU
Data Protection Regulation as well as the provisions of the Federal Data Protection
Act, the State Data Protection Act and the special
data protection provisions applicable in each case, depending on the area of
application. This applies in particular to the
collection, processing and use of data.
15.2 The customer shall
ensure that no actions are taken in the course of the
performance of the contract that violate existing data protection provisions.
In individual cases, the person responsible for data protection (data
protection officer) to be appointed by the customer shall coordinate with us.
16. Changes to the terms of the contract
16.1 Unless otherwise
provided, we are entitled to amend or supplement these Terms and Conditions as
follows; the same applies to the price list on which our services are based,
which we may amend at our reasonable discretion (Section 315 (3) BGB).
16.2 We shall notify
the customer of any changes or amendments in text form at least six weeks before they take effect. If
the customer does not agree with the changes or additions, he may object to the
changes with a notice period of one week
from the date on which the changes or additions are intended to take
effect. The objection must be in text form. If the customer does not object,
the changes or additions shall be deemed to have been approved by him. When
announcing the changes or additions, we shall specifically draw the customer's
attention to the intended significance of his conduct.
16.3 This provision
does not apply to consumers pursuant to § 13 BGB.
17. Change Request Procedure FOR INDIVIDUAL
SOFTWARE
17.1 The Change Request
Procedure shall apply to any change to the content of the Contract, in particular to the software-related services, as well as
in all other cases in which the application of the Change Request Procedure is
provided for. The Change Request Procedure is initiated by one Party submitting
a Change Request. Each Party shall process Change Requests from the other Party
without undue delay.
17.2 The Change Request
Procedure shall, in the event that the Parties agree,
terminate upon the conclusion of a Change Agreement. Neither Party shall be
obliged to perform under a Change Request until a corresponding Change
Agreement has been concluded.
18. Termination of contract, termination for cause
18.1 The right of each
contracting party to terminate the contractual relationship entered
into extraordinarily and without notice in the event of good cause shall
remain unaffected. Good cause shall be deemed to exist if facts are given on the basis of which the terminating party can no longer be
expected to continue the contract, taking into account the interests of all
circumstances of the individual case and weighing the interests of the
contracting parties.
18.2 An important
reason exists for us in particular in any case in
which
- the client is in
default of payment of the agreed remuneration for two consecutive dates or the
client is in default of payment of the remuneration in a period extending over
more than two dates in an amount corresponding to the remuneration for two months;
- the customer is
insolvent or insolvency proceedings have been opened over his assets or the
application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been rejected for
lack of assets; however, after the application for the opening of insolvency
proceedings over the customer's assets, we will not terminate the contract due
to a delay in the payment of the remuneration that occurred in the period prior
to the application for the opening of insolvency proceedings or due to a
deterioration in the customer's financial circumstances;
- the customer
repeatedly breaches essential contractual obligations.
21. Special right of
termination at the end of the life cycle of IT systems
21.1 We may terminate
contracts for IT systems in writing with three months' notice to the end of any
calendar quarter if the customer rejects an offer by us to switch to a current
version or design of hardware or software for a reasonable fee or if the life
cycle of the contractual hardware or software used by the customer has expired.
21.2 The life cycle of
the contractual hardware or software ends two years after the last delivery or
installation at the customer's premises.
21.3 If the
discontinuation of maintenance represents an unreasonable hardship for the
customer because it was already apparent at the time the contract was concluded
that maintenance would still be required at a later date,
the customer may request the extension of the maintenance in writing six months
before the maintenance is discontinued. In this case, we shall provide the
maintenance as individual maintenance for an appropriate fee, provided this is
technically possible.
22 LEGAL ORDER AND JURISDICTION
22.1 In dealings with merchants, legal entities under
public law or special funds under public law, Ostfildern
is agreed as the place of jurisdiction, insofar as §§ 38, 40 ZPO do not
conflict with this.
22.2 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall
apply exclusively. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
