TERMS OF USE

(Last updated April 24th, 2018)

Of the Junith Digital Agency GmbH (provider) for use of the “Leadhound” mobile application. The following terms of use apply to use of the app in the relationship between the customer and provider. Use of the app is only permitted if the customer accepts these terms of use.


 

1. Preamble

The provider offers its customers a free mobile app (hereinafter referred to as “LeadHound”) in the Apple App store under itunes.apple.com/de/app/leadhound/id1083406634&mt=8. The customer receives access to the back end, configuration manager, and customer-specific database for customized use of the LeadHound app computer program (program) with LeadHound Business api keys, if it purchases “Business” licenses. These licenses include a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use programs under the following conditions (charged usage for a limited time).

 

2. Installing LeadHound

LeadHound is installed by downloading the current release of the app in the apple app store from the internet using an iPad or iPhone. LeadHound is then ready for immediate use. However, access to the back end, configuration manager, and customer-specific database and export are only available after the access key has been successfully activated. An Apple App store account is required to install the LeadHound app.

 

3. Delivery/provision/conditions of use/training

(1) The program was developed for use on certain data processing systems (iPhone and/or iPad) and for collaboration with other specific programs via individual interfaces. The customer’s system must fulfill certain requirements for its specific data processing unit. These are: an iPad or iPhone with at least iOS 8.x or newer, as well as at least one table calculation program that can interpret the XLSX and CSV formats.

(2) The program will be installed on the customer’s device through uploading on certain data processing units designated by it (iPad and/or iPhone) or installed by the customer itself.

(3) If access necessary to use all components of the program fails during transmission, or if it is deleted accidentally after being received by the customer, the provider shall provide a replacement. All previously provided access details will then be blocked.

(4) Access shall be delivered / provided within 24 h after the order is confirmed.

(5) If the provider exceeds the agreed delivery / provision time by more than 72 h for reasons for which it is responsible, the provider shall charge a percentage of the fee for each further day of delay based on the fee invoiced to the customer for the program affected by the delay under Sec. 6. The flat-rate claim for damage indicated in clause 1 does not have to be paid if the provider can show that no damage was suffered, or that damages were lower.

(6) Updates for new framework conditions, such as new versions of iOS and/or new versions of the iPad or iPhone, will be provided to the customer within an appropriate time period after they become available as part of program updates and new release publications. If the customer takes advantage of the offer, these shall be delivered as indicated in para. (1). Para. (2) shall apply accordingly. 

(7) Employees can discuss the program during telephone-based training sessions, and explanations will be provided using case studies. Employee questions will be answered by telephone, and employees will practice initial operating processes and learn about others’ experiences.

(8) Case studies will be developed alongside opinion leaders who have already been trained, then presented to other employees. The best course of action is to tailor customer processes to process leads before the training and establish these processes in a handbook so LeadHound can be integrated efficiently.

 

4. Scope of use 

(1) The customer is entitled to use the provided program only on the iPads and/or iPhones it has designated as “specified data processing units.”

(2) “Use” in the sense of this agreement is any continuous or temporary duplication (copying) in whole or in part through loading, displaying, running, transmitting (exporting recorded data) or saving the program for the purpose of executing it and processing the databases included therein on the specified data processing units (iPads and/or iPhones). The authorization for use is restricted to saving and display for devices connected to the specified data processing units (such as input and output devices). Use also includes carrying out the above actions for the purpose of monitoring and inspection. The contractual program may not be copied as a whole outside of the contractual purpose, but only the data it contains.

(3) In all other cases, use of the program on any data processing unit except the designated specified units shall require written approval of the provider.

(4) Contractual use includes preparing backup copies of data included in the program. If the delivered program is damaged during loading or operation, the customer may receive a short-term replacement copy upon request for installation directly on the specified data processing unit (iPad and/or iPhone) if the damage cannot be corrected within 24 hours on business days and 48 hours on weekends. The data processing unit (iPad and/or iPhone) will not be supplied by the provider.

(5) The customer is entitled to link the transferred program to other computer programs following coordination with the provider. Interfaces are installed and set up upon request and offer. Decompiling the program code in another display format is prohibited.

(3) The customer shall keep a record of the contractually created copies or partial copies of machine-readable programs it creates and store this record at a secure location. It shall provide information on the record upon request.

(4) The customer hereby undertakes to not make the program accessible to third parties, either in its original format or in the form of full or partial copies, without the express written consent of the provider. This also applies if the customer's company is sold or liquidated in whole or in part. Third parties shall not include employees of the customer or others, as long as they comply with the customer’s contractual use of the program.

(5) before destroying, selling, or otherwise transferring machine-readable storage media or data processing devices on which data are saved, the customer shall delete the saved program in full.

The customer guarantees it shall do everything necessary to ensure access (for instance accessing the Apple App store with the specified devices, etc.).

(3) Customer services such as training customer employees, adjusting programs to specific customer conditions, or other programming services, shall require the conclusion of a separate agreement for this purpose.

11. Contractual term, termination, return and deletion of the program

(2) Termination for just cause without notice shall remain unaffected. 

(3) Once termination becomes effective, access to the agreement shall be eliminated, independent of its time and reason.

The customer is obligated to make backup copies of all databases under 4. para. 4 in a suitable manner before the agreement expires. 

(4) The customer is obligated to return the original copy of the program to the provider, as well as all copies and partial copies. This also applies to modified or changed versions of the program.
