Condair Group AG, Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland, as manufacturer and licensor (in the following “the Licensor”), permits you, the user and licensee (in the following “the Licensee”), to use the HumiLife app (in the following “the App”) in accordance with these end-customer conditions of use (in the following “the Conditions of Use”)
Conditions of use for Humilife App
1 Subject and scope of the Conditions of Use
1.1The subject of these Conditions of Use is the granting to the Licensee of user rights over the Licensor’s App and the regulation of its use in terms of the functions offered by the App. The App may be used in connection with the operation of the Licensor’s Condair HumiLife air humidifier. In order to do so, the air humidifier must fulfil the technical conditions for communicating with the App and it must be provided with an Internet connection. Further information can be found in the relevant product documentation. Installation of the App on your end device is free of charge. Use of the App requires registration, cf. Section 5, and consent to the data privacy statement for the HumiLife App.
The App consists of the App’s object code, as provided by the Licensor (for example through a platform such as Apple App Store or Google Play Store) for download and installation on the end device in use. The Licensee is not entitled to make or apply changes to the App, whether in person or through third parties. The source code remains the sole property of the Licensor. The Licensor acknowledges that all rights to the App, including intellectual property rights, and thus the source and object code, remain the sole property of the Licensor. These Conditions of Use and the actual use of the App do not entitle the Licensee to any rights of use over the App other than those regulated in Section 3.
These Conditions of Use apply – unless this is explicitly waived – both to private consumers and to entrepreneurs. A private consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes which cannot mainly be assigned to his or her trade, business or profession. An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal personality who or which, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in exercise of his or its trade, business or profession.
2 Updates
2.1
The Licensor provides updates for installing the App in order to ensure the reliability of the App or to accommodate a change to the function of the App and to adapt the App to technical advances. In so doing, the Licensor may use its discretion to adjust the functions of the App without special notice, though without significantly limiting such functions. The Licensor will give the Licensee prior warning of such adjustments through the existing functions on the platforms (such as Apple App Store or Google Play Store). The Licensor recommends that updates are always promptly installed.
The Licensor also provides updates for the air humidifier firmware, which are independently downloaded from the Licensor’s server to the air humidifier via the Internet connection. Air humidifier firmware updates are normally only downloaded with the consent of the Licensee. The Licensor reserves the right to install functional and safety-related updates to the air humidifier firmware without the direct consent of the Licensee.
If app or firmware updates are not installed by the Licensee even after a reminder in the App (push notification), the Licensor may terminate this agreement and delete the associated user account. The Licensor accepts no liability for damage or loss sustained by the Licensee which could have been prevented by an app or firmware update.
The Licensee is not entitled to the provision of air humidifier app and firmware updates for the purpose of extending the functions.
2.5
The Licensee accepts that the Licensor will only ever service the current version of the App
3 Grant of right of use, availability
3.1On registration, the Licensor grants the Licensee (see Section 5, duty to register) non-exclusive, generally non-assignable and non-sublicensable, free and time-unlimited rights of use over the App. The rights of use over the App according to these conditions of use are granted for personal use in connection with Condair HumiLife products on an end device owned or used by the Licensee. No rights to the App such as rights of reproduction etc. other than installation and use of the App on the end device are granted.
The grant of rights of use depends on the following conditions:- the Licensee acknowledges the Licensor’s copyright and in particular will not change or remove any copyright labels.- the Licensee will not change and/or decompile the App (German Copyright Act, Sections 21 and 24(3) remain reserved).
3.3
If the Licensor permits the transfer of rights of use by the Licensee to a third party, the Licensee shall ensure that the third party also recognises these conditions of use and assumes all contingent rights and duties.
3.4
Certain of the app functions require a connection with one of the Licensor’s systems (back end) via the Internet. The Licensor does not guarantee that the service will be available at specific times: malfunctions, interruptions or downtimes may occur. The Licensor will attempt to carry out maintenance in time windows when the App is only rarely used.
4 Supported end devices and supported hardware and software
4.1TheLicensor provides the Licensee with the App for defined use on a supported end device. The supported end devices and the minimum requirements for the end devices are listed in the current product documentation or on the App platforms (Apple App Store or Google Play Store).
When using the App, the Licensor’s system and software requirements (see details on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store platforms) must be complied with. Software programs and third party services intended for interaction with the App must only be used after approval by the Licensor. Compliance with the system requirements is the responsibility of the Licensee alone. Questions regarding interoperability must be referred to the Licensor.
5 Registration
5.1Proper use of the App requires the Licensee to register and to set up a user account. In so doing, correct and complete information regarding identity, e-mail address and, in some cases, place of installation must be entered and subsequently updated in case of changes. In addition, Licensees must inform the Licensor when they are no longer entitled to use the air humidifier activated in the App (e.g. if the building in which the unit is operated is sold to another owner). Infringement of this obligation will entitle the Licensor to exclude the Licensee from using the App.
5.2
Proper Licensor may block a user account if there is reason to believe the account is being used in an unauthorised fashion and/or attempts are being made to access the user account by means of unauthorised access to the App or the Licensor’s underlying systems (hacking). In such cases the Licensor will inform the Licensee in question immediately via the e-mail address stored in the user account and provide the Licensee with renewed access by setting up a new user account, unless the facts suggest that the Licensee is responsible for attempts at unauthorised access to the Licensor’s systems.
In exceptional cases, the Licensor may terminate this contract without notice and delete the user account, if the the Licensor’s back end is continuously unable (for more than 72 hours) for reasons outside its responsibility to make a connection with the Licensee’s unit and the Licensor has informed the Licensee of this by e-mail to the address on record or by telephone, but the situation has not been remedied within a week of so doing.
6 Warranty
6.1Configuration of the App to match the air humidifier is the sole responsibility of the Licensee and is performed in accordance with the current product documentation or the app installation wizard. The Licensor accepts no liability for the correct configuration of the App or for problems arising from the its incorrect configuration.
The functions made available by the App are free of material defects if they fulfil the functions stated in the currently valid product documentation or otherwise separately agreed. The Licensor does not guarantee that the App’s functions will match the Licensee’s requirements.
Acceptance of liability for defects in the App’s functions will depend on the reproducibility of the defect. The Licensee must describe this in sufficient detail. If the App provided by the Licensor is defective, the defect will be remedied by the Licensor within an appropriate time, as long as the cost of remediation is reasonable. If subsequent performance fails, the Licensee shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract. This does not apply in the case of trivial defects. There is no right to a price reduction. This limitation on liability shall extend to all claims competing with the warranty rights, whether regarding the contract (OR (Swiss Code of Obligations) Articles 97 ff), a criminal offence (OR Articles 41 ff) or rescission of the contract due to mistake (OR Articles 23 ff), etc.
6.4
The Licensee must provide the Licensor with reasonable support in identifying defects, for instance by paper printouts, screenshots or descriptions of faults, etc.
7 Liability
7.1
The Licensor has unlimited liability if the damage or loss caused by the Licensor or its legal representatives or assistants was due to a wilful act or gross negligence. The Licensor also has unlimited liability in the case of harm to life, limb or health. In addition, the Licensor is liable for the guaranteed functions of the App and in the legislative area in accordance with mandatory laws, in particular the Swiss Product Liability Act and the product safety legislation.
7.2
Liability is waived for minor negligence. Liability for associates is completely excluded, i.e. even for wilful act or gross negligence (OR Article 101(2)).
In particular, the Licensor is not liable for loss of profit, loss of data and interruption of business.
The Licensor is not liable for damage or loss due to faulty settings for which the Licensor is not responsible or for the use of end devices which do not meet the system requirements.
The Licensor is not liable for other costs arising from the use of the App (in particular costs of data transfer via mobile communications, including data roaming). This exclusion of liability does not apply in case of the Licensor’s gross negligence or wilful act.
8 Right to terminate
8.1
The Licensor is entitled to terminate this licence agreement for important reasons, in particular, serious breaches of these conditions of use or of copyright in the App.
On expiry of the warranty period arising from the user’s contract to purchase the air humidifier or for retrofitting it with an Internet interface, the Licensor retains the right to discontinue the App and to terminate this agreement.
9 Final provisions
9.1
If any provisions in these conditions of use are or become ineffective, they should be replaced by a provision which as far as possible meets the economic objective of the ineffective provision. If any provision of these conditions of use is or becomes ineffective, this will not affect the effectiveness of the other conditions of use or of this agreement as a whole.
The Conditions of Use may be modified or expanded at the Licensor’s discretion to an extent which is reasonable for the Licensee. In this case, registered Licensees will be informed at least six weeks before the change comes into force in text form (e.g. via the e-mail address provided by the Licensee via the App itself or by the product’s information service) The modified or expanded Conditions of Use will apply unless objected to by the Licensee prior to the effective date, and after the Licensor has expressly drawn the Licensee’s attention to the consequences of silence. If the Licensee raises an objection, the Licensor may terminate this agreement by giving one month’s notice from the submission of the objection.
