Terms of Use Framen Websites and Software and Hardware

The following terms of use regulate the relationship between FRAMEN GmbH, Charlottenstraße 79/80, 10117 Berlin ("Provider", "our") and the users of the FRAMEN platform ("Platform").

The Platform is a network accessible via the websites https://framen.com, https://framen.io, https://framen.tv, deren Subdomains im Internet und/oder über die Web-Applikationen der FRAMEN  und TV-App FRAMEN Play in den Google Play, Apple AppStore, sowie Amazon Fire TV zugänglich sind und/oder Digital Signage über die FRAMEN TV-Stick oder APIs.

The purpose of the platform is to provide, upload and play out own content for connected screens or to share it with other users.

"Users" within the meaning of these Terms of Use means all registered users or users directly "logged in" via a link (e.g. invitation via e-mail) via (temporary) access tokens who have been invited to register on the platform.

It is not possible to use the platform without prior registration. Our platform may only be used by users with good intentions, exclusion by FRAMEN may occur at any time without notice, in case of immoral use.

1. Admission and access

Voraussetzung für die Nutzung der Plattform ist eine Registrierung des Nutzers auf der Plattform. Sie erklären sich damit einverstanden, dass Sie durch Anklicken von „Get Started“, „Sign Up“ oder ähnlichem, durch die Registrierung, den Zugriff auf oder die Nutzung unserer Dienste (wie unten beschrieben) einen rechtsverbindlichen Vertrag mit FRAMEN eingehen (auch wenn Sie unsere Dienste im Namen eines Unternehmens nutzen). Wenn Sie diesem Vertrag („Vertrag“ oder „Nutzungsvereinbarung“) nicht zustimmen, klicken Sie nicht auf „Jetzt anmelden“ (oder ähnlich) und greifen Sie nicht auf unsere Dienste zu oder nutzen Sie sie anderweitig. Wenn Sie diesen Vertrag kündigen möchten, können Sie dies jederzeit tun, indem Sie Ihr Konto schließen und nicht mehr auf unsere Dienste zugreifen oder diese nutzen.

The information, email address, username and passwords provided by the user to us as part of the registration process may be freely chosen and accurate. In addition, the user must assign himself a password. There is no legal claim to admission to the platform. We may therefore refuse to accept the offer embodied in the submission of the registration form without giving reasons.

After the user has submitted the registration form, he/she will be admitted directly to the platform without confirmation.

The platform is accessed by entering the user's personal access data in the login form. A password can be reset if the user so requests and agrees that the platform will send him a new password by e-mail.

The user is obliged to keep the access data, especially the password, safe from access by third parties. It is not permitted to pass on this data to third parties. This also applies to family members and colleagues. The User undertakes to keep all access data, in particular the password, secret at all times and to prevent unauthorised use of the Platform by third parties. Sharing the account with several users is technically possible.

The user must inform us immediately if he/she knows or suspects possible misuse of the access data. In this case we have the right to block any access of the user to the platform. The user shall be liable for all consequences of misuse of the access data by third parties, unless he is not responsible for the unauthorised use.

2. Performance

We provide the platform to the user in order to display his own photos or moving images/videos on his own screens.

If he has not installed suitable software or TV sticks from FRAMEN on his screens, the use is very limited

3. Rights of the uploaded contents

The user grants us a simple, transferable and permanent right to use the content provided ("user content") in his own name and in the name of his company. The user is responsible for ensuring that he has sufficient power of representation in the internal relationship between him and his company.

We grant the User's company a simple, non-transferable, permanent right of use to the information provided via the Platform that is not User Content ("Provider Content"), whereby the User and the User's company are entitled to permanently store, copy and further process the Provider Content on the respective device.

The platform may only be used within the framework of the legal provisions, in particular the applicable data protection regulations, and only during the term of the contract. Neither the User nor his company are entitled to reproduce, distribute, present, make publicly accessible or send provider content outside the scope of what is permitted under Section 4.2 of these Terms of Use.

3. Obligations of the user

The user undertakes not to misuse the platform, but only to use it within the scope of its intended purpose.

We reserve the right to change or remove data of users in whole or in part if they contradict the purpose of the platform or applicable law. Reference is made to the virtual householder's rights.

Activities of the user which are aimed at disrupting the platform or preventing, complicating or delaying its use are prohibited and can be prosecuted under criminal and civil law.

The user is obliged,

• • to provide only true and non-misleading information and to use his real name and no pseudonyms or stage names;

    • • to observe applicable law and all rights of third parties when using the platform and the contents on the platform. In particular, the User is prohibited from the following:

    • 
      

4. Contract duration/termination

The contract of use begins with the registration of the user on the platform.

The contract of use can be terminated by both parties at any time without giving reasons. A termination is deemed to have been made if the user requests the deletion of his account or user profile from us. In the event of termination, the registration including the user profile of the User expires and the User loses the right to access the Platform and its contents.

We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently block and/or withdraw the user's access in the event of violations of these terms of use without giving reasons and to terminate the contract of use extraordinarily. This applies in particular if the user

• • • provides false information during registration, and/or
  • • passes on the access data, in particular the password, without authorisation.
  • • Defect rights and liability, data backup
  • • We assume no guarantee or liability that the platform is available around the clock. This applies in particular in the event that the platform becomes inoperable due to external attacks.
  • • The contents of the platform serve the user for information and to support his independent work processes. In no way does the platform or the information retrievable via the platform replace an accurate, independent and case-related review by the respective user. We expressly point out that the User may make selection or input errors when using the platform, which may lead to false and incorrect results. Similarly, programming errors not previously known to us could lead to incorrect output.
  • • Our liability for material and legal defects of the information accessible via the platform is limited to the liability for fraudulently concealed defects.
  • • In addition, we shall only be liable for intent and gross negligence. This does not apply in cases of mandatory statutory liability, in particular under the Product Liability Act.
  • • The user is obliged to take appropriate measures to prevent and reduce damage. In particular, the user must make backup copies, if necessary. The user must check the information to see whether it is suitable for the intended use in the specific situation. Failure to comply with these obligations shall be deemed contributory negligence.

• • For the online service: an up-to-date browser.
• • For PDFs: the Adobe Reader program from Adobe Systems Inc. in the current version or another program that enables the viewing and saving of PDF documents.
• • For the Apps: compatible devices and software, in particular the compatible version of the operating system intended for the Apps.

It is incumbent on the user to find out before purchasing the apps and/or any content whether the respective hardware and software used by you enables use of the apps and/or the content at the time of purchase and in the future. FRAMEN is not obliged to support operating systems or platforms on a permanent basis.

7. Amendment of the terms of use

The user will be notified of any changes to these terms of use by e-mail. The notification of changes shall be deemed received no later than three days after sending it to the last known e-mail address. If the user does not object to such changes within four weeks of receipt of the notification, the changes shall be deemed to have been agreed. The objection must be made in text form. We shall expressly draw the user's attention to the right of objection and the consequences of silence.

If the user objects, both parties have the right to terminate the contract of use with immediate effect by giving notice. In this case, the user must terminate the use of the services immediately.

8. Final provisions

The User Agreement including these Terms of Use constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior written or oral agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Terms and conditions of the user or the user's company, including those contained in offers, acceptances, letters of confirmation or other communications with the user, shall not apply, even if we have not expressly objected to them.

All changes and amendments to the contract of use as well as the notifications required within the scope of its implementation must be made in writing to be effective. The written form requirement can only be waived in writing.

The contract of use is subject to German law.

If the user is a merchant, legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all legal disputes arising from or in connection with this contract shall be Berlin Charlottenburg. However, we are entitled to sue the user as well as the user's company at any other legal place of jurisdiction.
