(1) You can only use our services as a registered user. To register with us, you must log in with an email address or via your Google account and then confirm your registration using the link sent to you by email. As a registered user, you do not have to provide your personal data every time, but you can simply log into your user account with your email address or via your Google account before or as part of an order. Registration alone does not create any obligation to purchase the services we offer. For information on how your data is processed, please read our privacy policy, which you can access at the following link https://mapstudio.ai/de/privacy.
(2) By registering, you agree to these general terms and conditions. This creates a framework agreement between you and us in accordance with these terms and conditions, which also applies to all further orders.

(6) A user account is not transferable and may only be used by you or third parties authorized by you (e.g. employees). You can grant third parties access to the work area accessible via your user account by issuing a one-time access email or by storing the email addresses of third parties authorized by you.
(7) We can restrict access to our own services if the security of network operations, the maintenance of network integrity, in particular the avoidance of serious disruptions to the network, software or stored data, require this. If services fail due to a disruption outside the seller's area of responsibility, a reduction is excluded. The same applies to the failure of services due to necessary operational interruptions (maintenance work).

§ 3 Subject matter of the contract, paid services

(1) We provide you with software for creating and editing map material and other content for this purpose and provide you with an AI system that can be used via our website to edit the digital maps (hereinafter referred to as "services"). You can use the map material created digitally and analogously for your business purposes in sales and marketing.
(2) For using our services beyond the free tier, two models are available to you:

• a) Subscription Model: You need a subscription to one of our plans. Each plan allows you to create and manage a specific number of maps in our system. The number of changes or downloads per map is unlimited.
• b) Pay-by-Download Model: Alternatively, you can purchase individual downloads without a subscription, provided you do not have an active subscription. You receive a permanent license for the respective map material.

The details and prices can be found on our offer page. All prices are net prices, plus the applicable statutory sales tax.
(3) Your subscription will be automatically renewed for one year unless you cancel it before the renewal date. You can change your subscription to a different package at any time, with the changes taking effect immediately and being offset against the current billing period.
(4) We reserve the right to increase our prices with at least 30 days' notice. The price increase will take effect at the beginning of the next billing period after the 30-day period has expired. We will inform you of price changes by email to the email address you have provided. If you do not agree with the price increase, you have the right to cancel your subscription before the price increase takes effect.
(5) In the event of payment default of more than 30 days, we reserve the right, after unsuccessful reminders, to terminate your subscription and/or block your user account. In this case, your right to use the created maps expires, unless you have acquired a permanent license. The account can be unblocked after full payment of all outstanding amounts, but this is at our discretion.
(6) In the subscription model, you receive a usage license for each created map (see §5 Usage Rights), which is valid for the last download of the respective map during the term of your subscription. You can edit the map and download it again as often as you like. Each map counts towards the total map quota of the package included in your subscription for the entire duration of your subscription.
(7) When a map is deleted, the license for all previous downloads of the same map expires (i.e. previous downloads may no longer be used). Maps can be deleted from our system no earlier than 6 months after the last download. Early deletion is only possible with the acquisition of a permanent license.
(8) Each subscription license is intended for a specific use purpose (e.g. one map for a specific trip in your catalog). The systematic creation of multiple maps with different content under one license to circumvent the licensing model is prohibited and may lead to termination.
(9) Upon termination of the subscription, all subscription licenses expire, unless you acquire a permanent license for individual maps.

§ 4 Map contents, use of our software (AI system)

(1) All rights to the content you have included in the maps you have created remain with you, unless expressly provided otherwise in these terms and conditions. You grant us a non-exclusive, spatially and temporally unlimited right of use to this content, to use the content to the extent necessary to fulfill the contract with you.
(2) You also grant us the simple, spatially and temporally unlimited right of use to your map contents, to use your map contents for the purposes of training our AI systems and for generating content through the AI systems. This includes all exploitation rights within the meaning of Sections 15 ff., 69c UrhG, which are necessary for the purposes of training our AI systems and for generating content through our AI systems.
(3) You ensure that the map content you transmit or save does not violate the rights of third parties (including personal rights, rights to one's own image, copyrights, trademark rights, etc.) or otherwise violate applicable law (such as data protection regulations) ("Prohibited Content"). We are entitled to block or remove prohibited customer content, taking into account the interests of both parties; the same applies if we are required to do so by law, due to a complaint from a third party, a court ruling or an official order.
(4) You guarantee that you will comply with the requirements of the KI-VO when creating and using your digital maps.
(5) When using our services, you will refrain from any actions that could endanger the stability, integrity and security of our technical systems. It is prohibited to obtain confidential information by means of reverse engineering. "Reverse engineering" means all actions, including observation, testing, examination and disassembly and, if necessary, reassembly, with the aim of obtaining confidential information. You are not authorized to change or edit our software.
(6) Our services may only be accessed via a web browser.
(7) You release us and hold us harmless from all claims by third parties, the use of the map content you have created or claims by third parties that arise due to alleged violations of the AI-Regulation or other regulatory requirements in the context of your use of our AI system.

§ 5 Usage rights

(1) We grant you the temporally (during the term of your subscription, if applicable) and spatially unlimited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use our services in accordance with the contract.
(2) Subscription Licenses: You can use downloaded maps in digital format and printed during the term of your subscription. A renewed download of the same map cancels the license for previous downloads of this map. If you delete a map or cancel your subscription, you have the option to purchase a permanent license for the map(s) for a one-time fee. Without this permanent license, your right to use the maps expires upon deletion (of the respective map in our system) or cancellation of the subscription.
(3) Pay-by-Download Licenses: For maps acquired through the pay-by-download model, you receive a permanent, temporally unlimited license. These licenses include the usage rights as described in paragraph 1, for use in both digital and print format. Pay-by-download licenses do not expire upon cancellation of a subsequently concluded subscription.
(4) When using maps in print, a verifiable license only needs to exist at the time of printing. Printing has no edition restrictions.
(5) Excluded from the grant of rights are components of the software that are subject to third-party rights and in particular open source software licenses. You may use these within the scope of the statutory rights of use and/or the applicable open source software license.
(6) You do not acquire ownership of digital content. We reserve the industrial property rights and copyrights to all digital content, logos, images and other documents.

§ 6 Term, measures and termination of contract

(1) These terms and conditions are concluded for an indefinite period. You have the right to terminate this user agreement at any time. To do so, please send us a notice of termination stating your email address. We are entitled to terminate the user agreement with 14 days' notice to the end of the month. The right to extraordinary termination remains unaffected.
(2) The deletion of work areas does not constitute termination of this contract.
(3) You can cancel your subscription at any time with effect at the end of the current billing period. Cancellation is possible via your user account or by email to hi@mapstudio.ai. Until that time, you can use all functions of your subscription without restriction. Cancellation during the billing period does not lead to a proportional refund of subscription fees, unless the cancellation is due to force majeure or due to reasons for which we are responsible. The cancellation of a subscription does not affect the basic user agreement according to paragraph 1, which continues even after termination of the subscription for any future services or pay-by-download purchases.
(4) In case of termination, you can either have your subscription maps deleted (usage right expires) or purchase permanent licenses for them for a one-time fee per map. Pay-by-download licenses remain unaffected by cancellation and retain their permanent validity.
(5) We are entitled to block user accounts and workspace(s) and deny you access to our services, delete your content, warn you or terminate the user agreement and permanently exclude you from using our services if you violate legal regulations, third-party rights, these general terms and conditions, the privacy policy https://mapstudio.ai/de/privacy or if there are concrete indications and/or other important reasons for doing so.
(6) In the event that we permanently exclude you from using our services, you are not permitted to register again and use our services, even via third-party user accounts.

§ 7 Liability for defects, liability

(1) We are liable for material and legal defects in accordance with the statutory provisions. You must notify us of defects within a warranty period of 1 (one) year.
(2) The provider is liable for intent and gross negligence. The provider is only liable for minor negligence in the event of damage resulting from injury to life, body or health. The provider is only liable for foreseeable damage that can typically be expected to occur. In the event of negligence, liability is limited to a sum of EUR 5,000.
(3) The liability limitations of the preceding paragraph do not apply in the event of injury to life, body or health, for a defect after a guarantee has been given for the quality of the product and for defects that have been fraudulently concealed. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
(4) If our liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of our employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
(5) We do not guarantee constant availability of the services, loss-free data backup or uninterrupted operation.
(6) In the event of force majeure, we are released from our obligation to provide services for the duration of the event. We will inform the customer immediately of the occurrence and end and take all reasonable measures to minimize the effects and restore the service as quickly as possible. Force majeure is defined as all unforeseeable, unavoidable and extraordinary events for which we are not responsible, which make the provision of services impossible or unreasonably difficult even with reasonable care, in particular: natural disasters; warlike events; power outages; pandemics; cybercrime and hacker attacks as well as strikes by service providers relevant to the operation of our services, official orders, failure of communication networks or gateways of other operators. If a case of force majeure lasts longer than 30 days, both parties have the right to terminate the contract extraordinarily. In the event of termination due to force majeure, we will refund pro-rata any prepaid subscription fees for the unused period. Pay-by-download purchases are excluded from refunds as they grant a permanent license.

§ 8 Data protection

(1) You are responsible for complying with data protection regulations when entering data into your map material.
(2) We collect, process and use personal data in accordance with the statutory provisions and our data protection declaration https://mapstudio.ai/de/privacy.

§ 9 Final provisions

(1) Otherwise, the general terms and conditions of the parties do not apply to this contract. This also applies if such conditions are not expressly contradicted.
(2) The contracting parties can only offset claims that have been legally established or are undisputed.
(3) All changes, additions and terminations of contractual agreements must be made in writing, as must the cancellation of the written form requirement, unless this contract stipulates text form.
(4) The parties undertake to maintain confidentiality regarding the content of this agreement and its implementation.
(5) Should individual provisions of the party agreements be or become invalid in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In this case, the parties undertake to replace the invalid provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the invalid provision. The same applies to any gaps in the agreements.
(6) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is Berlin.
