1.2 Where this EULA regulates the rights and obligations of the Parties with regard to
PTV-Software, these regulations equally apply to PTV-Data.
1.3 This EULA covers the PTV Software delivered to the Customer in tangible (e.g.
on a data carrier) or intangible (e.g. via download) form, whether protected by
copyright or not, in any format (source code, object code etc.), as well as all
related information, documentation and material such as handbooks, guidelines
and technical documentation (collectively the “Licensed Material”). Any
translation of the Licensed Material is part of the Licensed Material.
1.4 The rights granted to the Customer under this EULA are limited to:
c) updates and updated versions of the Licensed Material provided they were
delivered to the Customer under a maintenance agreement and the Customer
paid maintenance fees owed pursuant to such maintenance agreement.
1.5 The Customer is responsible for the purchase or licensing of all additional
equipment and software necessary to install and operate the Licensed Material
as detailed by PTV, if applicable. Updated versions of the Licensed Material may
require additional equipment and/or software, as well as updated versions of the
equipment and software. Purchase or licensing of these items, if required, is
solely the Customer’s responsibility.
1.6 All third-party providers and suppliers of PTV that are involved in the provision of
services are included in the protection provided by these terms. The Customer or
partner of PTV shall indemnify these third-party providers and suppliers against
claims by third parties resulting from a breach of these terms.
2.2 PTV reserves the right to technically protect the Licensed Material against
illegitimate copying, use or distribution with security devices such as dongles,
passwords or similar.
2.3 The Customer may only use the Licensed Material itself within its own company
for internal business purposes. The Customer has to observe any contractual
agreements regarding the use of the PTV Software (e.g. limitation of the number
of users, installations etc.) and must secure such limitations by using adequate
technical measures (the granting of rights to use the PTV Software to the
Customer, hereinafter “License”).
2.4 The License granted to the Customer may be granted for a limited period of time
(“Time-Limited License”) or for an unlimited period of time (“Lifetime License”).
2.6 For the software part of the Licensed Material, the License is limited to the object
code and shall not cover the source code. PTV shall not be under the obligation
to provide the Customer with any source code.
2.7 Any use or exploitation of the Licensed Material not explicitly allowed in this
EULA or pursuant to mandatory statutory law (e.g. altering, amending, lending,
leasing, renting, distribution in tangible or intangible form, outsourcing, software
as a service etc.) is subject to the prior written consent of PTV which PTV may
give in its sole discretion.
2.8 The Customer may not attempt to alter, translate or modify all or part of the
Licensed Material and may not create derivative works from the Licensed
Material. The Customer may not transfer, resell or distribute any Licensed
Material. The Customer may not in any way, commercially or non-commercially,
rent, lease or make available the Licensed Material on a public network unless
there is a written agreement with PTV allowing the Customer to do so.
2.9 All use cases of the Licensed Material refer to the use in a closed user circle, i.e.
no public and freely accessible applications (public online services) are permitted.
2.10 The Customer may not combine or mix data and results of the PTV Software with
third-party applications and third-party data.
Upon full payment of the license fees, license information will be updated and the
PTV Software will be activated by means of the respective licensing technology.
For accounting and control purposes, the PTV Software may be equipped with
licensing technology. At regular intervals, the applicable license information is
retrieved automatically or with Customer’s cooperation from back-end systems of
PTV and its contractors and is stored in the software.
The license information retrieved includes, inter alia, data of licensed program
versions, software maintenance and update options, functionality and size,
licensed number of users, license type and License Period of the PTV Software.
For any changes and renewals, the license information is updated, if necessary,
via automatic processes. In certain cases, Customer may be required to
cooperate for replacing licensing containers. PTV is entitled to irrevocably
deactivate licenses reported as being no longer usable (e.g. dongle or computer
lost or defective) by Customer, if Customer attempts to use them again.
The licensing technology may require an online access, i.e. that the
PTV Software can only be used if online access is available and the license data
is successfully matched via Internet. This automatic matching via Internet may be
subject to certain restrictions in terms of availability, so that only an availability of
99,9% can be guaranteed for the automated matching of the license information.
In the event of non-availability, the Customer shall contact PTV’s first-level
support for maintenance of the PTV Software.
3.2 Time-Limited Licenses expire automatically at the end of the contractually agreed
License Period.
3.3 PTV may withdraw the License for good cause. Such good cause shall be given
particularly, but not limited to, if the Customer severely infringes this EULA.
3.4 The Customer’s right to use the Licensed Material expires upon expiration or
withdrawal of the License. Customer must return to PTV all data carriers, dongles
and other devices received from PTV, uninstall the PTV Software including any
backup copies thereof, destroy or irreversibly delete the Licensed Material and
confirm in writing to PTV that such return, destruction or deletion was completed
successfully.
4.2 To the extent that mandatory copyright law grants the Customer the right to
decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer software in order to receive
information necessary for the development of independent compatible computer
programs (“Decompilation”), the Customer is obliged to request PTV to provide
it with the necessary information before such Decompilation. Decompilation is
only allowed if PTV did not provide such information within two (2) weeks of the
Customer’s request. Any information received by the Customer in this context is
subject to strict confidentiality and may not be disclosed to any third party.
5.2 The Customer may not disclose, transfer, dispose of, resell or distribute any
personal security information or security items related to the Licensed Material
(collectively “Security Devices”) such as passwords, user accounts, security
tags etc., unless such Security Devices are necessary to properly operate the
Licensed Material.
5.3 The Customer must store and secure the Licensed Material with due diligence so
that any illegitimate access of third parties is excluded. The Customer must
inform and instruct its employees respectively. The Customer must ensure that
only authorized employees have access to the Licensed Material.
6.2 PTV may provide specific users such as students or academic institutions with
specific versions of the Licensed Material for research, teaching or training
purposes (“Academic License”). Any commercial use of the Academic License
is excluded.
6.3 PTV may collect usage data to verify and monitor the compliance with sec. 6.1
and 6.2. Any such collection shall be compliant with the terms of sec. 13.
6.4 Notwithstanding the provision in sec. 5, the Customer may not transfer a Trial
License or an Academic License to a third party.
7 Third-Party Licenses
7.1 The PTV Software includes the use of third-party components and geodata for
which the following Third-Party Licenses, which prevail over this EULA, as
amended from time to time are applicable:
and
7.1.2 Geodata
PTV Transportation Licensing Terms for Geodata, available under
http://ptv.to/em
and
PTV Mobility Licensing Terms for Geodata, available under http://ptv.to/en.
When using maps from the Open Street Map Project ("OSM"), the Open
Database License applies, available under
https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/.
7.2 PTV makes no representation, warranty or commitment and shall have no liability
or obligation whatsoever in relation to the content or use of any such software
under Third-Party Licenses.
8 Geographical restrictions
8.1 Customer shall enter into and comply with applicable foreign laws as required
and shall indemnify and defend PTV against any loss or damage which PTV may
suffer or incur as a result of Customer’s breach of such terms howsoever arising.
8.2 In particular, Customer acknowledges that the use of the PTV Software may be
subjected to specific geographical restrictions arising out of applicable foreign
laws and regulations, available under http://ptv.to/eo.
9.1.1 The Customer shall be obliged to immediately and thoroughly inspect the
Licensed Material upon delivery and immediately report defects in writing. A
defect may only be claimed if the Licensed Material deviates from the
contractually agreed quality or if the Licensed Material is not suitable for the
use intended under the contract (“Defect”). Any Defect shall be concretely
described to the extent that is reasonable (“Error Report”). The Error Report
shall include the following information:
Error message as shown, if any;
Upon request by PTV, the Customer shall provide additional information for the
error analysis.
9.1.2 Error Reports shall be communicated to PTV promptly. Delayed reporting shall
relieve PTV from any warranty obligations for the respective Defect.
9.1.3 PTV shall rectify Defects at its choice through subsequent improvements or
through delivery of a replacement within a reasonable period of time if and
insofar as the selected form of rectification of the Defect is acceptable to the
Customer. Such rectification may also include the implementation of a
workaround solution.
9.1.4 If PTV does not successfully rectify Defects within a reasonable period of time,
the Customer shall grant two (2) reasonable extensions of at least two (2)
weeks (“Extension”) to PTV in order to successfully rectify the Defects.
9.1.5 If PTV does not successfully rectify Defects during the Extension, the
Customer may at its choice reduce the contractually agreed license fees or
cancel this EULA, except where the Defect is only of insignificant nature.
9.1.6 Claims for damages and reimbursement of expenditure arise solely within the
limits set out in sec.11. The Customer is not entitled to rectify Defects itself and
claim compensation for costs accrued for such rectification.
9.1.7 Claims concerning Defects in quality and Defects in title shall become statute
barred twelve (12) months after (i) delivery of the Licensed Material if the
Licensed Material is provided on a data carrier; or (ii) activation of the access
data to the Licensed Material if the Licensed Material is provided by download
from the Internet; or (iii) acceptance if the Licensed Material is subject to
acceptance which shall not be unreasonably delayed.
9.2.1 The Customer is obliged to inform PTV immediately of any Defect (as defined
under sec. 9.1.1) in the Licensed Material with an exact description of the
Defect in writing, in consideration of the requirements as set out under sec.
9.1.1.
9.2.2 Maintenance and warranty are always and exclusively limited to:
The upkeep of the contractually agreed usability of the Licensed Material;
9.2.3 PTV will rectify properly reported Defects in the Licensed Material in a timely
manner.
9.2.4 PTV excludes any liability for initial Defects of the Licensed Material.
9.3 The Customer is aware that applications with maps, geographical attributes,
points of interest, toll information, emissions, speed limits, truck features, long
postcodes and other content as well as traffic data and forecasts never provide a
perfectly accurate and complete picture of the actual circumstances, in particular
because of the time delay between a change in the actual circumstances and its
rendering, and the resulting lack of quality, does not constitute a Defect of the
PTV Software.
10.1.1 If a third party claims the infringement of IPR against the Customer in respect
of the use of the Licensed Material for reasons attributable to PTV, the
Customer shall notify PTV promptly in writing and shall leave the defense of
such claims to PTV insofar as possible.
10.1.2 The Customer shall provide all reasonable assistance to PTV in the defense.
10.1.3 The Customer shall not be entitled to conclude a settlement with claimants, nor
to acknowledge their claims, without PTV’s prior written approval.
10.2 Rectification
10.2.1 Insofar as IPR of third parties have been infringed by the Licensed Material for
reasons attributable to PTV, PTV may choose to rectify the situation in such a
way that the Licensed Material can continue to be used to the full extent by the
Customer. In this respect, PTV has the following options:
a) PTV may obtain a license sufficient for the purposes of this EULA from the
third party that holds the infringed IPR, in favor of the Customer; or
b) PTV may update, modify or replace the Licensed Material that infringes IPR
such that the modifications have no impact on the functionality of the
Licensed Material, or an impact that is acceptable to the Customer.
10.2.2 The Customer may require a different form of rectification if the impact on the
functionality of the Licensed Material is reasonably considered significant.
12 Audit
PTV shall be entitled to have the Customer’s conformity of the actual use of the PTV
Software delivered examined. The examination may only be carried out by an expert who
is also bound to confidentiality vis-à-vis the Customer, who is not bound by the
Customer’s instructions and who may only disclose information to PTV if and to the extent
that a licensing breach is detected and that such information is necessary for the
enforcement of such licensing breach. In particular, the expert shall not be entitled to
disclose any information at all if the licensing breach has been admitted and
corresponding claims for damages have been satisfied. The Customer must be given at
least two (2) week’s written notice of any such examination.
13.2 To the extent that personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 GDPR (“Personal
Data”) are collected or processed in the course of the contractual relationship,
the Parties will implement
Compliance with product specific data privacy statements (“Data Privacy
Statement”) as amended from time to time, available under http://ptv.to/fa, in
which PTV explains the way Personal Data are processed for the specific PTV
Software; and
where required, enter into a contract regarding data processing (“Contract
Regarding Data Processing”) in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR and the
applicable template as amended from time to time, available under
http://ptv.to/fb, in which PTV explains how Personal Data provided by the
Customer are processed, in particular in cases where PTV provides support
services.
16 Final provisions
16.1 Periods of delivery shall be extended by the period in which PTV is prevented,
without itself being responsible, from providing the contractually agreed services,
particularly, but not limited to, labor disputes, acts of god or any other unusual
and unforeseeable events (collectively “Force Majeure Event”) as well as an
appropriate period for restarting after the end of the disturbance. If a Force
Majeure Event lasts for more than three (3) months, each Party shall have the
right to terminate the contractual agreement.
16.2 Amendments and supplements are only valid if they are agreed in writing
between the Parties. Verbal ancillary agreements are excluded. This also applies
to the amendment of this provision.
16.3 Should any provision of this EULA be or become invalid, this shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid provision shall be deemed
replaced by a valid one which closely approximates the commercial purpose of
the invalid provision. The same shall apply in the case of any unintended
omission.
16.4 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the UN
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and private
international law.
16.5 The place of performance and place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or
in connection with this EULA is Karlsruhe, Germany.
