Service T&Cs for the Geo Data Flow

1. TBDS shall provide the following TBDS service to the user specified in the service specification during the term of these Service T&Cs:

   Designation	Brief description
   Geo Data Flow	Geo Data Flow enables the generation and forwarding of data via RIO interfaces to third-party systems. The exact data are defined in the service specification.

   The latest version of the detailed service specification, in addition to the technical requirements and fee payable for using the service, can also be viewed on the platform at https://rio.cloud.

2. The availability of the platform for the aforementioned service to be provided via it shall be based on Section 3.2 of the Platform T&Cs.

3. Important note: With regard to the requirements under data privacy law, we refer the reader expressly to Section 8 of the Platform T&Cs. The User shall remain responsible under data privacy law for data processing within the scope of the commissioned data processing activities by TBDS. Additionally, the User guarantees that it shall be permissible to process the personal data of the data subjects (driver and other persons if necessary). This includes the User’s duty to fully inform the relevant parties and encompasses the establishment of a legal basis under data privacy law.

Fees

1. The fee payable for the TBDS service shall be based on the rates listed on the platform at https://rio.cloud, and is subject to statutory value-added tax (VAT). The fee shall be based on the number of vehicles registered for the service by the user. On being registered by the User, the vehicle shall be covered by the service, and the service provision shall be charged on a daily basis. For months in which the TBDS Service was contracted for only a portion of the month, the fee shall be charged pro rata temporis.

2. On receipt of invoice from TBDS, the user shall pay the fee to TBDS’s payment service provider as specified in Section 4.2 of the Platform T&Cs. This payment shall fulfil the User’s obligation to TBDS.

3. If the User is in default despite previous appropriate written warnings from TBDS, TBDS may, after giving further advance notice of at least one (1) week, suspend its provision of the TBDS service under these service T&Cs until payment is received.

Changes

1. Changes to the Service T&Cs shall require the agreement of both parties, unless otherwise stipulated in Section 4.

2. As part of its provision of the TBDS service, TBDS may make appropriate technical modifications, particularly to the extent that these are necessary to improve functionality or comply with legal requirements.

3. The User shall be notified in writing of reasonable changes to the services and appropriate price increases as part of the provision of the TBDS Service, and shall be given the chance to object to any change within six (6) weeks. If no objection is made (in writing or by e-mail) to a reasonable change to a service/increase in fees within this six (6) week period, the change to the service/increase in fees shall be deemed to have been accepted, provided the User was made aware of this legal consequence when they were notified of the change. If the user objects to a change to the service or increase in fees, TBDS shall be entitled to immediately terminate the service provision to the user under the terms of the Service T&Cs. Furthermore, the user shall be entitled to effect ordinary termination of the Service T&Cs at any time.

Warranty and liability

1. Warranty

   1. The User shall inform TBDS immediately of any defect in the TBDS service. TBDS shall rectify any defects in the TBDS service within a reasonable period of time. Should TBDS fail to rectify a fault within a reasonable period of time on two (2) occasions, the User shall be entitled to effect the extraordinary termination of these Service T&Cs.
      
      Other claims by the User are governed in accordance with Section 5.2.

   2. Claims for defects are excluded, provided the cause lies with the User or one of the User’s vicarious agents.

2. Liability
   
   TBDS shall be liable for loss or damage that is caused by intent and/or gross negligence on the part of TBDS or its vicarious agents. TBDS shall only be liable for loss or damage resulting from ordinary negligence on the part of TBDS or its vicarious agents if a cardinal obligation has been breached. Cardinal obligations are essential contractual obligations that ensure due implementation of the contract in the first place and the observance of which the user has relied upon and was entitled to do so.
   
   In the event of a breach of these cardinal obligations caused by ordinary negligence, TBDS’s liability shall be limited to typically foreseeable loss or damage, though limited to a maximum of 100% of the annual fee.
   
   Otherwise, TBDS’s liability for ordinary negligence shall be excluded.
   
   If a TBDS Service is provided free of charge, the following conditions apply: In the event of a breach of these cardinal obligations caused by ordinary negligence, given the fact that the TBDS service is provided free of charge, TBDS shall also only be responsible for exercising a degree of care that TBDS itself applies to its own affairs.

3. Other exclusions

   1. TBDS shall not be liable for the proper condition of vehicles belonging to the User for which the TBDS service is being provided. The TBDS service is merely intended to provide support to the user; responsibility for complying with legislation and for the use and condition of the vehicles shall remain with the owner or driver as appropriate.

   2. The provision of RIO Boxes and/or RIO transmitter units is not covered by these Service GTC. No warranty shall be provided and no liability accepted under the terms of these Service GTC in this regard.

   3. Likewise, no warranty shall be provided and/or no liability accepted under the terms of these Service GTC for defective TBDS Services (particularly for missing or incorrect data) and/or for damages resulting from malfunctions and/or breakdowns of vehicles, RIO Boxes and/or RIO transmitter units from the incorrect data input by the User.

Force majeure shall be understood to be any event over which TBDS has no influence and that fully or partially prevents TBDS from fulfilling its obligations; this includes fire damage, floods, strikes and lawful lockouts, as well as disruptions to operations for which it is not at fault or official decrees.
