General Terms and Conditions
General Terms of Business of GfK GeoMarketing GmbH (GfK GeoMarketing),
Werner-von-Siemens-Str. 9, Building 6508 in 76646 Bruchsal, Germany.
As of 2009-07-23
§ 1 Area of applicability
These General Terms of Business control the entire business relations with our customers. No other general terms of business shall apply unless expressly approved in written in individual cases.
In the event of any changes to these General Terms of Business the version valid on conclusion of the agreement shall apply.
§ 2 Commitment to offers
Our offers and all data relevant to projects and services are subject to alteration at all times, as is data relevant to prices to the extent that these are not explicitly designated by us as being binding. A contract does not become valid before we have accepted your order.
§ 3 Liability
We shall be liable to the customer for statutory or contractual liability cases outside the material contractual obligations only if we can be proven guilty of intent or gross negligence, and if concerning primary contractual obligations also for simple negligence.
In the case of simple negligence our liability shall be limited to the replacement of the typical damage or any damage foreseeable by us. The amount of damages shall be limited to the total net annual payment agreed for the respective individual order. Restitution for indirect damage or unforeseeable consequential damage shall be excluded.
The statutory liability in the event of injuries to life, body or health, the liability in line with the provisions of the product liability law and the liability from special guarantee assurances or acceptance of risk shall remain unaffected.
If we ourselves are not liable any rights which we are entitled to against third parties shall be assigned to the customer on request.
We shall not be liable for damage resulting from or in connection with the interpretation of the supplied data / results by the customer, unless we have violated our obligations through intent or gross negligence.
§ 4 Terms and conditions of payment
Should the given service be provided against payment by invoice, the amount invoiced is due in full immediately without any deduction. The customer is considered to be in default of payment if payment has not been made within 14 days of the date of invoicing without any reminders being required.
Payment is not considered to have been made before we can fully dispose of the amount concerned, i.e. when the amount has been credited to our account in case of payment via bank transfer, when a credit note has been issued by the post office, UPS or some other courier in the case of goods or software supplied via cash on delivery (COD) or when a cheque has been honoured by your bank in case of payment by cheque. Bills of exchange or cheques will only be accepted with our prior consent, only for debt fulfilment purposes and are not considered as payment before they have been honoured by the banks concerned. Any discount and collection charges are payable by the party ordering. We assume no liability whatsoever for the timely presentation of the items concerned.
We are initially entitled to offset any payments received against any older receivables that may exist vis-à-vis the customer even if the instructions given stipulate the contrary. Should any default of payment on the part of the customer last longer than 30 calendar days, should he allow bills of exchange or cheques to assume protest status or should insolvency proceedings be initiated in respect of his assets, we are entitled to claim immediate payment of all receivables vis-à-vis the customer, to withhold all deliveries and services and to assert all rights arising from our reservation of ownership and/or usage rights.
The customer is not allowed to offset any counterclaims he may have unless the counterclaims concerned are undisputed or have already been judged to be legally valid by a court. The customer is not entitled to any rights of distraint unless the given counterclaim derives from the same contractual relationship.
Our receivables cannot be offset against those of the customer unless the latter receivables have been declared to be legally valid or have been accepted as such by us.
§ 5 Applicable law, place of jurisdiction
This contractual relationship is subject to the law of Germany. The application of the UN right of purchase is excluded.
If the customer is a commercial trader as defined in the HGB (German Commercial Code) or acts as such or as a corporate entity subject to public law or special assets subject to public law, the place of jurisdiction for all claims in connection with the contractual relationship is the relevant court in Karlsruhe, Germany competent for dealing with the matter concerned. However, we are at all times entitled to take legal action against the customer at his general place of jurisdiction.
SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELEVANT TO "SOFTWARE LICENSING"
General Terms of Business of GfK GeoMarketing GmbH (GfK GeoMarketing), Werner-von-Siemens-Str. 9, Building 6508 in 76646 Bruchsal, Germany
As of 2009-07-23
§ 1 Object of this section
The terms and conditions set out in this section apply to the surrendering of rights to (licensing of) data, above all geo-data (electronic maps) and statistical data, particularly that in the form of databases as well as all types of software and printed matter (e.g. manuals, printed maps and the like)
§ 2 Scope of services, licences
In the absence of any explicit provisions to the contrary, the customer (licensee) acquires a simple, non-exclusive usage right (licence) to the licensed software, licensed electronic maps and / or map data or other databases by way of the licence granted to him.
As far as the scope of the licence granted to the customer is concerned, the data specified in the order / confirmation, in the licence certificate issued by us and the general terms and conditions of licence for software and / or the general terms and conditions of licence for maps,map data and other databases apply.
As far as printed matter is concerned, the customer acquires no copyright usage entitlements whatsoever above all in respect of copying rights unless this has been agreed explicitly in writing. Usage of the printed copies provided and the copyright entitlements automatically connected herewith remain unaffected.
§ 3 Warranty
With regard to the licensed programs and data, we guarantee their suitability for typical or contractually agreed usage in conjunction with the hardware and software required as per the product description given their customary and / or specified configuration.
In the case of significant non-compliance in terms of suitability of usage or considerable deviations from the functionality set out in the program description, we reserve the right initially to remedy the situation within an appropriate period of time by providing patches or updates. Should remedial action be either not possible or take too long, the customer is entitled to either a reduction in the charges raised or cancel the contract.
§ 4 Reservation of title and rights
We reserve the right to any license rights and the title to the data carriers and any other products supplied until all the claims under the license and purchase agreement have been met in full. Until the transfer of the rights the utilisation of the software shall be tolerated until revoked on an in personam basis to the extent specified in the license.
If we assert our claims from licenses under reservation of title due to the occurrence of a safeguarding case, the customer must provide us with information about the whereabouts of the original data carriers and any copies it has made, as well as return the original data carriers and delete all other copies.
§ 5 Prices, delivery and payment terms
All prices apply ex works GfK GeoMarketing excluding transport packaging and shipping costs.
Unless otherwise agreed we shall be entitled to payment in advance. In this case we are only committed to issue an invoice effective for fiscal purposes after receipt of payment.
If the delivery is made against invoice, the invoice amount is due immediately without deducting any discounts. The customer shall be in default without a reminder 14 days after the invoice has been issued.
Partial deliveries shall be permitted. The agreement shall be deemed partially met unless the customer has no interest in the partial performance alone.
Delivery deadlines are subject to circumstances and events for which we are not responsible ("force majeure") including production stoppages which are not our fault, failure to receive our own supplies in spite of sufficient precautionary measures or surprising strike. If the delivery/ performance is delayed for more than 12 weeks the customer can withdraw from the contract. This deadline is shortened accordingly if it would be unreasonable to expect the customer to wait.
§ 6 Disputes about property rights
If a third party asserts a claim against the customer with the accusation that our product infringes copyright laws or other industrial property rights the customer must inform us without delay. We are entitled to instruct the customer in the event of a legal dispute if we release the customer of all claims against it resulting herefrom and at its request provide security for the risk. This shall not apply if due to special reasons it would be unreasonable for the customer to litigate in line with our instructions.
In the event of third parties asserting property rights we are entitled to release our customers of any claims of third parties for the future, also by supplying a modified version of the product with essentially the same functions or subsequently procuring any necessary licenses in so far as this is sufficient to secure the use as specified in the agreement.
If the use as defined by the agreement cannot be attained under reasonable conditions in this way either, both parties are entitled to withdraw from the agreement or to terminate it without notice. We may provide compensation in accordance with the provisions of article 3, Part A of these General Terms of Business.
General license regulations for computer programs ("Software") and maps, map data and other databases ("Data") of GfK GeoMarketing GmbH

IF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE PROVIDED TO YOU WITH DELIVERY OF THE PACKAGE, THEN, BY BREAKING THE SEAL OF THE PACKAGING YOU DECLARE THAT YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS- AS OWNER, OR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OWNER, OF THE DATA CARRIER.

If a third party is selling the data carrier it can only pass on licenses to the purchaser within the scope of this license. The license cannot be extended through assurances by the seller.

Only GfK GeoMarketing itself is entitled to make deviating provisions for the license issued.
A) General license regulations for countries outside of the United States
§ 1 For the specific scope of the license granted, the specifications on the order/confirmation of the license or on any other license certificate at GfK GeoMarketing shall apply. If an intended purpose for the Data has been individually specified therein, utilization shall only be permissible for this purpose. If a computer program has been specified therein with which the data is intended to be used, or if the Data is jointly licensed with a computer program, use shall only be permitted with this program. In this case, it shall not be permitted to read out raw data, which is not provided for by this program under its intended operation, and to bypass the protection against making direct copies of the vector graphics displayed. In the event of doubts, the scope of the license of the IN-HOUSE LICENSE shall apply in accordance with article 6 of these license regulations.
§ 2 Unless specifically agreed or if the license is defined as a SINGLE-USER license, the license shall apply to one user - i.e., for the use of the Software or Data at the workplace of one person. Workplace is a user's computer (PC) or a terminal or an environment of a user (user account) restricted by the operating software on one computer. If several people can duly access the workplace, a license shall be required for each user who works with the program. This shall equally apply even if the users do not work simultaneously with the data, unless one user leaves permanently or is away for several days and is replaced by another user for this period of absence or permanently. If the license is designated as a multiple license or a multiple-user license, the use of said license shall be limited to the number of users specified. Any commercial distribution, especially sale, rent, lease or lending of the program or program documents is prohibited. The same applies to sublicensing that fails to comply with the Terms and Conditions of use.
§ 3 The licensee is conditionally entitled within the framework of the license for one work place, to make a second installation on a laptop or to work through remote access to the work place through a network, if the second installation or the remote access is solely accessible by the user as specified in § 2.
§ 4 If the product is designated as an update or upgrade, it may only be used in conjunction with an existing license. The update or upgrade license is only an extension of the existing license and only entitles utilization within its limits.
§ 5 Unless otherwise agreed, the software license applies to utilization as intended, in particular to the generation of analogue and digital materials by means of the Software.
A special license is required to automatically process the output of the Software through its interfaces, in particular to read out the source data or to create dynamic representations. Additionally, it is not permitted to read out data that is not provided for by the Software program under its intended operation, in particular reading out regional data or other raw data, in particular by bypassing the protection against direct copies of the vector graphics displayed. Furthermore, any change to or decompilation of the software - in particular, removing copyright marks, names, brands or other marks or typical company designs of GfK GeoMarketing - is prohibited.
The right to configure and ensure the interoperability of computer programs produced independently in accordance with article 69e of the UrhG (German Copyright Act) and the right to test in accordance with article 69d paragraph 3 of the UrhG (German Copyright Act) remains unaffected herefrom.
The licenser must be informed before any measures to enable utilization as intended are executed. If reasonable, the licensee undertakes to carry out the measures suggested by the licenser, including the use of a patch or update provided by the licenser.
With regard to the data transferred, the licensee is entitled to process the data in the framework of articles 2 and 3 and the following provisions to create his/her own documents using said data and his/her additional own data, texts or other contents.
In direct connection with the maps created using the licenser's map data, the attribution "Map basis: GfK GeoMarketing" is to be added to these documents and in direct connection with maps, diagrams, etc. generated with the licenser's data, the attribution "Data basis: GfK GeoMarketing" is to be added if this is not already present in the graphics created.
The modification or other use relevant to copyright (especially duplication, distribution, public accessibility) of the basic data beyond the standard use to create own documents, especially the conversion of the licensed data into other formats and removing intellectual property rights or copyright marks, names, brands or other marks or typical company designs of GfK GeoMarketing beyond the scope of the following specified licenses, is prohibited.
The following are also prohibited,
- the creation of a larger number of copies of the Software/Data than specified in these License Terms and Conditions or, regardless of these restrictions expressly permitted , by the applicable law;
- the publication of the Software/Data so that it can be copied by third parties;
- use of the Software/Data in a manner that is contrary to legislation;
- rent, leasing or lending of the Software/Data;
- reselling of the Software/Data, which is designated "not for resale".
§ 6 IN-HOUSE license
If the license purchased is designated as "IN-HOUSE license" or if nothing more specific has been determined, it applies for the use of the licensee's own documents generated in line with article 5, that said own documents may only be duplicated for internal company purposes and only made accessible in-house. Any further distribution or making the documents generated publicly accessible - in particular passing them on to third parties, commercial marketing or publication in magazines, books or any other form and as one's own work - requires a special license.
Documents which contain a major part of the data transferred in terms of type and scope - may only be duplicated or made accessible through an internal network beyond the work place in a way which does not enable the licensed basic data of the graphics or images generated, in particular of vector data, to be read out.
§ 7 CONSULTANT license
A consultant license can be purchased as a special license to be directly agreed with the licenser or purchased in addition to an existing license. A consultant license entitles the licensee beyond the provisions of article 6 to pass on documents, which the licensee has generated on the basis of a specific order (project) and to make said documents accessible to clients for the agreed term of the consultant license. Unless otherwise agreed, the term of the consultant license shall be 12 months after it has been ordered. This shall apply to documents that contain a major part of the data transferred in terms of type and scope in a form in which the licensed basic data (raw data) of the graphics or representations created - especially, the vector data - cannot be read out. For special projects, a greater number of clients can be agreed upon.
The clients may be granted the right to duplicate or make the documents generated accessible for internal purposes, but not to process the documents, distribute them further or make them publicly accessible.
The license certificate shall list the projects to which the license refers or their number. If a license code has not yet been allocated to each project in the license certificate, GfK GeoMarketing can demand that the client subsequently allocates a project to each license code granted and - on submitting a document it has produced - allocates said document to the respective project.
Furthermore, the provisions of articles 5 and 6 must apply.
§ 8 The "PUBLISHING license" entitles the licensee beyond the provisions of article 6 to publish own documents generated from the licensed data within the framework agreed - i.e., to distribute said documents and make them publicly accessible.
This shall apply to documents that contain the major part of the data transferred in terms of type and scope in a form in which the licensed basic data (raw data) of the graphics or depictions created - especially, vector data - cannot be read out.
In the framework of this license a third party may also be granted the right to publish documents generated by the licensee. The third party cannot however be granted the right to change the documents, with the exception of typical editorial interventions. Furthermore, the provisions of articles 5 and 6 shall apply.
§ 9 Use of Software or Data by an ASP or BI-system operator, without a special license, is not permitted, and is not covered by these General License Terms and Conditions. An ASP (Application Service Provider) is a service provider that offers an application (e.g. an ERP system) for exchanging information over a public network (e.g. the Internet) or a private data network.
Business Intelligence (BI) describes procedures and processes for systematically analyzing (collection, analysis and presentation) of electronic data.
If the use of the license in an ASP or BI-system would enable third parties to access the Software or Data, or to access analyses and/or presentations derived from the same for their own purposes, an explicit BI-license shall be required.
The same special licensing requirements apply to a third party seeking to offer Data for interactive use.
The BI-license shall generally be valid for a period of 12 months, starting when the order is placed. After purchasing a BI-license, the rights on the part of the license holder to use the software/data shall be limited to the period indicated. On expiry of this period, the license holder undertakes to delete the licensed products and notify GfK GeoMarketing of the deletion in writing.
If the license holder has licensed the Software/Data for use on a subscription-basis, the provisions in Section 11 apply.
§10 If the license refers to Software (or Data) of the Tele Atlas Group that is contained in the product, the provisions printed in Supplement 1 shall apply. The marking on the data carriers, packaging and/or product description indicates if Tele Atlas BV software is contained in the licensed product.
§ 11 If a subscription agreement is concluded to use the license, its term shall be as set forth in the order form, but shall be at least thirty six (36) months, with automatic one-year renewals thereafter, and shall continue until written notice of termination is given. Notice of termination shall be given prior to three months before the expiration of term. The subscription shall include supply of the updates that are issued during the term (an average of a maximum of 1 a year). Unless otherwise agreed, the price for the subscription as of the first delivery shall be 50% of the new price specified in the price list of GfK GeoMarketing that applies at the time of shipment. The price for the subscription shall be due annually and for the first time when the order is placed. The dates of subsequent invoicing and deliveries may differ.
§ 12 If a third party offers the Software or Data, possibly as a package with its own software or data, it may only procure valid licenses to the data on the basis of a SALES or OEM license subject to a special license certificate or a written license agreement.
§ 13 If a third party processes the Software or Data to form an independent product, effective licenses for this product may only be procured on the basis of a special written PRODUCTION license issued by GfK GeoMarketing.
§ 14 In the framework of the authorized usage, the licensee is entitled to make necessary copies. This
applies in particular to the standard backups of the files or the system on which the Software or Data is installed - not, however to the keeping of the Software or Data on several computers for alternating use.
In the event of the license being resold, all remaining copies must be deleted. In the case of integrated backups of the installed files (images) that cannot be directly executed, this only applies in the case of the executable system being restored. The backup copies may only be made internally accessible in the necessary scope.
§ 15 GfK GeoMarketing may terminate the license due to important reasons. An important reason in particular is a serious violation of the restrictions of the licenses granted, unauthorized distribution of copies of the software or making it publicly accessible or any other prohibited distribution. In this case all licenses granted shall expire.
§ 16 The license may not be transferred without prior agreement from GfK GeoMarketing.
On the transfer of ownership for a license, this license - unless granted following a special agreement for specific purposes or a specific project -, shall be transferred to the purchaser in accordance with legal provisions without authorization from GfK GeoMarketing in the context of the region in which the exhaustion of the copyright law in accordance with article 69c point 3 of the German Copyright Act occurred.
Any special agreements not to pass on or sell licenses shall remain unaffected. If such an agreement is violated, the transfer can be effective in terms of copyright in accordance with the information above, but can have negative consequences in terms of contract law.
Leasing, borrowing, rental or timesharing requires a special license.
§ 17 GfK GeoMarketing shall only be liable for damages, in particular data loss or incorrect calculation due to faults in the software/data or other faults within the control of GfK GeoMarketing caused as a result of gross negligence or willful intent on the part of GfK GeoMarketing, its legal representatives, employees or other vicarious agents. This restriction of liability shall not apply to damages resulting from a breach of the "German Product Liability Act", on account of injury to life, or limb or in cases where negligence on the part of GfK GeoMarketing leads to a breach of obligations that are essential for the fulfillment of the contract (cardinal obligations). In the event of a negligent breach of cardinal obligations, liability on the part of GfK GeoMarketing for non-typical, unforeseeable damages shall be limited to the amount of the annual license fee.
GfK GeoMarketing shall not be liable for damages resulting from misuse of the products or damages that are caused by "location decisions" which were made on the basis of the maps and tables produced, unless GfK GeoMarketing has breached its obligations through willful intent or gross negligence.
§ 18 The contractual relationship with the customer shall be subject to German law, excluding the UN convention on the sale of goods.
If you are a trader as defined by the German Commercial Code or act on behalf of such trader, a legal person under public law or special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for any claims in connection with the contractual relationship is Karlsruhe, Germany. We are also entitled to file suit at your general place of jurisdiction.
The general terms and conditions of GfK GeoMarketing apply here.

Customer shall not sell, assign, convey, sub-license or otherwise transfer its rights in and to the RegioGraph System without the prior written consent from GfK GeoMarketing (e.g., any reseller or OEM arrangements for the RegioGraph System shall require a separate written agreement with GfK GeoMarketing and such rights are not included in this Agreement).

Use of the RegioGraph System by an ASP or BI-system operator, without a special license, is expressly prohibited, and is not covered by these General License Terms and Conditions.

If use of the licensed RegioGraph Software or GfK Data by an ASP or BI-system would enable third parties to access the RegioGraph Software or GfK Data, or to access analyses and/or presentations derived from the same for their own purposes, an explicit BI-license shall be required. A special ASP/BI license shall generally be valid for a period of twelve (12) months, commencing upon placement of the purchase order. After purchasing an ASP/BI license, the rights on the part of the Customer to use the RegioGraph System shall be limited to the period and scope indicated.

(c) Automated access and analysis. In the absence of a supplemental license grant negotiated by mutual agreement of the Customer and GfK GeoMarketing, the RegioGraph System is to be used solely by Customer and in the manner and purpose for which it was designed - specifically, to directly generate printed reports and electronic data files representative of such reports. If Customer desires to use automated means (e.g., a software module developed by or on behalf of the Customer to exchange instructions with and/or process data output by the RegioGraph Software via an Application Programming Interface (API) or other interface) so as to read out the source data or to create dynamic representations, a special license particular to the Customer's specific application is required. Notwithstanding the availability and/or applicability of such a special license, Customer is prohibited from reading out data that is not provided for by the RegioGraph Software program under its intended operation, including but not limited to, reading out regional data or other raw data by bypassing the protection against direct copies of the vector graphics displayed. Furthermore, any change to or decompilation of the RegioGraph Software in connection with any of the foregoing, including but not limited to removal of copyright marks, names, brands or other marks or typical company designs of GfK GeoMarketing - is prohibited. Before implementing a customized software module in accordance with a special license, Customer shall first inform GfK GeoMarketing, and then implement any measures recommended by GfK Geomarketing including, but not limited to, the use of a software patch or update to the RegioGraph Software provided by GfK Geomarketing.
(d) Unauthorized Activities. Customer shall not disassemble, decompile, decrypt, reverse engineer, create derivative works based upon, or otherwise attempt to recreate the RegioGraph System. Customer shall not separate data files from map files or export raw data from the RegioGraph System, whether in the same file format or alternative formats. Further, Customer will not attempt to copy or distribute vector graphics displayed within the RegioGraph System. Customer will not modify the RegioGraph System or convert GfK Data to other formats. The RegioGraph System shall be considered "Confidential Information" and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9. The following activities are also expressly prohibited: (i) the creation of a larger number of copies of the RegioGraph Software or GfK Data than specified in these License Terms and Conditions or, regardless of these restrictions expressly permitted , by the applicable law; (ii) the publication of the RegioGraph Software or GfK Data so that it can be copied by third parties; (iii) use of the RegioGraph Software/GfK Data in a manner that is contrary to legislation; (iv) rent, leasing or lending of the RegioGraph Software/GfK Data; and (v) reselling of the RegioGraph Software/GfK Data, which is designated "not for resale".

§ 3.3 Irreparable Harm.

§ 3 Der Lizenznehmer ist im Rahmen der Lizenz für einen Arbeitsplatz ausnahmsweise berechtigt, eine Zweitinstallation auf einem Laptop vorzunehmen oder per Fernzugriff auf den Arbeitsplatz über ein Netzwerk zu arbeiten, wenn die Zweitinstallation oder der Fernzugriff ausschließlich für den Benutzer im Sinne des § 2 zugänglich sind.
§ 4 Wenn das Produkt als Update oder Upgrade bezeichnet ist, darf es nur in Verbindung mit einer bestehenden Lizenz genutzt werden. Die Update- oder Upgrade-Lizenz stellt nur eine Erweiterung der bestehenden Lizenz dar und berechtigt nur zur Benutzung in deren Grenzen.
§ 5 Ist nichts Näheres bestimmt, gilt die Lizenz bezüglich der Software für die bestimmungsgemäße Nutzung, insbesondere die von der Software unterstützte Erstellung von analogen und digitalen Materialien.

Nicht erlaubt ist außerdem das von der Software im bestimmungsgemäßen Betrieb nicht vorgesehene Auslesen von Daten, insbesondere das Auslesen der Gebietsdaten oder sonstiger Rohdaten, insbesondere unter Umgehung des Schutzes vor Direktkopie der dargestellten Vektorgrafiken. Unzulässig ist außerdem jede Veränderung oder De-Compilierung der Software, insbesondere die Entfernung von Urheberrechts- oder Copyrightvermerken, Namen, Marken oder sonstigen Kennzeichen oder von unternehmenstypischen Gestaltungen von GfK GeoMarketing.

§ 6 INHOUSE-Lizenz
Ist die erworbene Lizenz als "Inhouse-Lizenz" bezeichnet oder ist nichts Näheres bestimmt, gilt für die Nutzung der gemäß § 5 hergestellten eigenen Dokumente, dass diese nur zu unternehmensinternen Zwecken vervielfältigt und nur intern zugänglich gemacht werden. Ein weitergehendes Verbreiten oder öffentliches Zugänglichmachen der erstellten Dokumente, insbesondere die Weitergabe an Dritte, der kommerzielle Vertrieb oder die Veröffentlichung in Zeitschriften, Büchern oder sonstiger Form als eigenes Werk, bedarf einer besonderen Lizenz.
Dokumente, die einen nach Art und Umfang wesentlichen Teil der überlassenen Daten beinhalten, dürfen nur in einer Form, bei der das Auslesen der lizenzierten Grundlagendaten der erzeugten Grafiken oder Darstellungen, insbesondere von Vektordaten, nicht möglich ist, erstellt, vervielfältigt oder über ein internes Netz über den Arbeitsplatz hinaus zugänglich gemacht werden.
§ 7 CONSULTANT-Lizenz
Als besondere, unmittelbar mit der Lizenzgeberin zu vereinbarende oder zusätzlich zu einer bestehenden Lizenz zu erwerbende Lizenz kann eine Consultant-Lizenz erworben werden. Diese berechtigt über die Bestimmungen des § 6 hinaus zur Weitergabe vom Lizenznehmer auf Basis eines konkreten Auftrages (Projektes) erstellter Dokumente und zur Zugänglichmachung an Kunden während der vereinbarten Nutzungsdauer der Consultant-Lizenz. Ist nichts weiter vereinbart, beträgt die Nutzungsdauer der Consultant-Lizenz 12 Monate ab Bestellung. Dies gilt für Dokumente, die einen nach Art und Umfang wesentlichen Teil der überlassenen Daten beinhalten, in einer Form, bei der das Auslesen der lizenzierten Grundlagendaten (Rohdaten) der erzeugter Grafiken oder Darstellungen, insbesondere von Vektordaten, nicht möglich ist.
Den Kunden darf das Recht eingeräumt werden, die erstellten Dokumente zu internen Zwecken zu vervielfältigen oder zugänglich zu machen, nicht aber die Dokumente weiter zu bearbeiten, weiter zu verbreiten oder öffentlich zugänglich zu machen.
Die Lizenzurkunde bezeichnet die Projekte, auf die sich die Lizenz bezieht, oder deren Anzahl. Ist nicht bereits in der Lizenzurkunde jedem Projekt ein Lizenzschlüssel zugeordnet, kann GfK GeoMarketing verlangen, dass der Kunde nachträglich jedem überlassenen Lizenzschlüssel ein Projekt und bei Vorlage eines von ihm hergestellten Dokumentes diesem das jeweilige Projekt zuordnet. Im Übrigen gelten die Bestimmungen der §§ 5 und 6.
§ 8 Die "PUBLISHING-Lizenz" berechtigt über die Bestimmungen des § 6 hinaus zur Veröffentlichung, d.h. Verbreitung und öffentlichen Zugänglichmachung eigener, aus den lizenzierten Daten vom Lizenznehmer erstellter Dokumente im jeweils vereinbarten Rahmen. Dies gilt für Dokumente, die einen nach Art und Umfang wesentlichen Teil der überlassenen Daten beinhalten, in einer Form, bei der das Auslesen der lizenzierten Grundlagendaten (Rohdaten) der erzeugter Grafiken oder Darstellungen, insbesondere von Vektordaten, nicht möglich ist.
Im Rahmen dieser Lizenz kann auch einem Dritten das Recht zur Veröffentlichung von Dokumenten erteilt werden, die der Lizenznehmer erstellt hat. Dem Dritten kann jedoch nicht das Recht zur Veränderung der Dokumente übertragen werden, mit Ausnahme verlagstypischer redaktioneller Eingriffe.
Im Übrigen gelten die Bestimmungen der §§ 5 und 6.
§ 9 Eine Nutzung in einem ASP oder BI-System ohne eine entsprechende Lizenz ist unzulässig und nicht von der durch die vorliegenden allgemeinen Lizenzbestimmungen gewährten Lizenz umfasst.
ASP bedeutet "Application Service Provider "(zu Deutsch "Anwendungsdienstleister"); dies ist ein Dienstleister, der eine Anwendung (z.B. ein ERP-System) zum Informationsaustausch über ein öffentliches Netz (z.B. Internet) oder ein privates Datennetz anbietet.
Business Intelligence (BI; zu Deutsch "Geschäftsanalytik") bezeichnet Verfahren und Prozesse zur systematischen Analyse (Sammlung, Auswertung und Darstellung) von Daten in elektronischer Form.
Besteht die Nutzung der Lizenz darin, eine solche in einem ASP oder BI-System über Dritte zu deren eigenen Zwecken zu ermöglichen, bedarf es des Erwerbs einer ausdrücklichen BI-Lizenz.
Gleiches gilt, wenn ein Dritter die Daten zur interaktiven Nutzung anbietet.
Die Nutzungsdauer der vorgenannten BI-Lizenz beträgt grundsätzlich 12 Monate, beginnend mit der Bestellung. Bei Erwerb einer BI-Lizenz sind die Rechte des Lizenznehmers zur Nutzung der Software/Daten auf diesen Zeitraum beschränkt. Nach Ablauf dieses Zeitraums ist der Lizenznehmer verpflichtet, die lizenzierten Produkte zu löschen und diese Löschung der GfK GeoMarketing gegenüber schriftlich anzuzeigen.
Soweit der Lizenznehmer die Nutzung auf Abonnementbasis lizenziert hat, gelten die Regelungen gemäß § 11.
§10 Soweit sich die Lizenz auf Software (Daten) der Tele Atlas Gruppe bezieht, die in dem Produkt enthalten sind, gelten ergänzend die in Anlage 1 abgedruckten Bestimmungen. Wenn Software der Tele Atlas BV in dem lizenzierten Produkt enthalten ist, ist dies an der Kennzeichnung der Datenträger, auf der Verpackung und/oder in der Produktbeschreibung erkennbar.
§ 11 Wird die Nutzung der Lizenz im Rahmen eines Abonnementvertrages geschlossen, gilt eine Nutzungsdauer von mindestens 36 Monaten, mit anschließender automatischer Verlängerung um ein weiteres Jahr, wenn nicht mit einer Frist von drei Monaten zum Vertragsende gekündigt wird. Das Abonnement beinhaltet die Lieferung der während der Laufzeit erscheinenden Updates (durchschnittlich max. 1/Jahr). Ist nichts anderes vereinbart, beträgt der Preis für das Abonnement ab erster Lieferung 50% des Neupreises der zum Zeitpunkt der Auslieferung gültigen Preisliste von GfK GeoMarketing. Der Preis des Abonnements wird jahresweise und erstmals zum Zeitpunkt der Bestellung fällig. Spätere Rechnungsstellungen und Auslieferungen können zeitlich voneinander abweichen.
§ 12 Bietet ein Dritter die Software oder Daten, evtl. im Paket mit eigener Soft- oder Hardware oder eigenen Daten, an, kann sich dieser gültige Lizenzen an den Daten nur auf Grundlage einer Vertriebs- oder OEM-Lizenz nach Maßgabe einer besonderen Lizenzurkunde oder eines schriftlichen Lizenzvertrages verschaffen.
§ 13 Verarbeitet ein Dritter die Software oder Daten in ein eigenes Produkt, kann sich dieser wirksame Lizenzen an diesem Produkt nur auf Grund einer von GfK GeoMarketing schriftlich erteilten besonderen Produktionslizenz verschaffen.
§ 14 Im Rahmen der zugelassenen Nutzung ist der Lizenznehmer berechtigt, die erforderlichen Kopien anzufertigen.
Dies gilt insbesondere auch für eine Sicherheitskopie der Installationsdateien und übliche Backups des Systems, auf dem die Software betrieben wird oder die Daten verarbeitet werden, nicht aber für die Vorhaltung auf mehreren Computern zur abwechselnden Nutzung.
Bei Weiterveräußerung der Lizenz sind alle zurückbleibenden Kopien zu löschen. Bei nicht direkt ausführbaren, integrierten Backups der installierten Dateien (Images) gilt dies nur im Fall der Wiederherstellung des ausführbaren Systems. Die Sicherheitskopien dürfen nur im erforderlichen Umfang intern zugänglich sein.
§ 15 GfK GeoMarketing kann die Lizenz aus wichtigem Grund kündigen. Als wichtiger Grund gilt insbesondere eine gravierende Verletzung der Grenzen des eingeräumten Nutzungsrechts, eine unerlaubte Verbreitung oder öffentliche Zugänglichmachung von Kopien der Software oder eine sonstige unerlaubte Verbreitung. In diesem Fall entfallen jegliche eingeräumte Nutzungsrechte.
§ 16 Die Lizenz ist nicht ohne Zustimmung von GfK GeoMarketing übertragbar.
Bei einer Übertragung des Eigentums an der Lizenz geht diese, sofern sie nicht durch besondere Absprache zweck- oder projektgebunden erteilt wurde, jedoch ohne Zustimmung von GfK GeoMarketing im Rahmen des Gebietes, in dem Erschöpfung des Urheberrechts gemäß § 69c Ziff. 3 UrhG eingetreten ist, nach Maßgabe der gesetzlichen Vorschriften auf den Erwerber über.
Besondere Absprachen, Lizenzen nicht weiterzugeben oder zu veräußern, bleiben unberührt. Wird eine solche Absprache verletzt, kann die Übertragung nach dem Vorstehenden urheberrechtlich wirksam sein, aber vertragsrechtlich negative Konsequenzen haben.
Die Vermietung der Software oder Daten bedarf stets einer besonderen Lizenz.
§ 17 Für Schäden, insbesondere Datenverluste oder falsche Berechnungen aufgrund von Fehlern der Software/Daten oder sonstigen Fehlern im Einflussbereich der GfK GeoMarketing haftet diese nur dann auf Schadensersatz, wenn ihr, ihren Organen, Mitarbeitern oder sonstigen Erfüllungsgehilfen grobe Fahrlässigkeit oder Vorsatz zur Last fällt. Diese Freizeichnung gilt nicht für Schadensersatzansprüche, die sich aus dem Produkthaftungsgesetz ergeben, wegen der Verletzung des Lebens, des Körpers oder der Gesundheit sowie in Fällen, in denen der GfK GeoMarketing infolge leichter Fahrlässigkeit die Verletzung solcher Pflichten zur Last fällt, deren Erfüllung die ordnungsgemäße Durchführung des Vertrages überhaupt erst ermöglichen (sogenannte Kardinalpflichten). Im Fall der fahrlässigen Verletzung von Kardinalspflichten ist die Haftung bei vertragsuntypischen, unvorhersehbaren Schäden auf die Höhe der jährlichen Lizenzgebühr beschränkt.
GfK GeoMarketing haftet nicht für Schäden, die durch falsche Bedienung der Produkte oder durch Standortentscheidungen entstehen, welche auf Basis der erstellten Landkarten und Tabellen getroffen wurden, es sein denn es liegt eine vorsätzliche oder grob fahrlässige Pflichtverletzung durch GfK GeoMarketing vor.
