General Terms and Conditions

By using the services of neomatt GmbH and in particular the vrdoro platform, you must agree to these terms and conditions. The resulting contract is between you, hereinafter referred to as the customer, and neomatt GmbH, Martin-Kremmer-Str. 12, 45327 Essen, hereinafter referred to as the provider.

3. The software stored on the provider’s servers is accessed and used via an Internet connection using an Internet browser. The platform can be accessed via the following website: https://vrdoro.com/.

2. Both parties reserve the right to extraordinary termination for good cause, provided that the necessary requirements are met. Extraordinary termination is always possible if essential conditions of the contract are not met or if there is an objectively justified loss of trust in the contractual partner, i.e. it is unreasonable to expect the contract to continue until the next ordinary termination date or the fixed-term end of the contract. The following circumstances shall also constitute good cause: If the customer fails to pay the license fee (default in payment by the customer), the provider shall be entitled to exclude the customer from using the platform after issuing a single reminder. The customer must then immediately refrain from using the software from its own websites or by passing on links to the services.
3. An effective termination must always be in writing.

§ 3 Remuneration

1. In return for the provider’s services, the customer must pay the remuneration corresponding to the payment plan booked.

§ 4 Availability of the software

§ 6 Training

The provider offers the customer instruction or training if required. These can be offered by the provider free of charge or against payment.

§ 7 Support

The provider shall provide the customer with a customer service department to eliminate technical faults and rectify errors that arise during the use of the software.

§ 9 Liability

1. The contracting parties shall be liable for intent and gross negligence.
2. The provider is liable for the breach of essential contractual obligations (so-called cardinal obligations). These are contractual obligations whose fulfillment is so essential to the contract that their breach would jeopardize the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on whose compliance the customer may rely. Insofar as the cardinal obligations have been negligently breached, the customer’s claim for damages shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.
3. The provider is also liable in accordance with the statutory provisions of the Product Liability Act and for damages caused by injury to the life, body or health of the customer.
4. The provider is liable for damages caused by its vicarious agents.

§ 10 Limitations of liability

1. The provider is not liable for the loss of customer and/or platform data if the damage is due to the fact that the customer has failed to carry out data backups and thereby ensure that lost customer data can be restored.

§ 13 Secrecy, confidentiality

1. The parties are obliged to keep all confidential information about the other party that becomes known to them in connection with this contract permanently secret, not to pass it on to third parties, record it or use it in any other way, unless the other party has expressly consented to the disclosure or use in writing or the information must be disclosed by law, court order or administrative decision. In the absence of such consent or disclosure, the information disclosed shall only be used for the performance of this contract.
