3. Usage Requirements/Duties of the Operator
3.1 „abl hotspot“ Usage Requirements
3.1.1. An internet connection with a minimum speed of 16 Mbit (asynchronous) or higher is required to smoothly operate the „abl hotspot“. Frequent use and thus, an increased load on the respective „abl hotspot“ may cause decreases in performance and speed if the speed is not adapted to the expected usage behavior. For this reason, abl recommends a standalone 25 or 50 Mbit/s (asynchronous) internet connection along with a sufficient number of access points. It should be explicitly noted that abl shall bear no responsibility if a lower connection speed and/or an insufficient number of access points are used.
If the operator does not operate their own internet connection upon contract conclusion, they may solicit one via abl. abl shall assume no liability for the functionality of the internet connection. The operator shall bear the cost of the internet connection.
The operator may not bill the users for any costs related to the use of the „abl hotspot“.
3.1.2. The internet is generally accessed via a splash page on the home page. The user must agree to the Terms of Use when performing the required login. The Terms of Use can be accessed via the following link https://www.abl-sf.com/files/nutzungsbedingungen.pdf. If user data is requested in the login process, the corresponding privacy policy will be simultaneously displayed on this page. The privacy policy can be accessed at the following link https://www.abl-sf.com/files/datenschutz.pdf. (Please also consult Clause 8 of these Terms and Conditions.) After agreeing to the Terms of Use, internet access is granted. Amended Terms of Use or privacy policies must be attached to the contract.
3.1.3. Additional network access requirements for the WLAN network, such as entering an e-mail address or location marking, can be specified between abl and the operator. If these usage requirements are not configured via „abl OCMP“, they shall be specified by an additional agreement.
3.1.4. Various interfaces can be stipulated between abl and the operator. The user requires an active Facebook account to use WLAN access via the Facebook interface. Requirements for other, personalized interfaces must be attached to the contract as a special agreement.
3.1.5. In addition, a ready-to-use, WLAN-capable device is required to use the „abl hotspot“. Furthermore, a suitable operating system, web browser, updated WLAN driver software and the corresponding IP network protocol must be installed.
3.1.6. By selecting the „abl hotspot“ and connecting to the same, an agreement is created between the operator and the „abl hotspot“ user regarding the use of the „abl hotspot“ that is customized for the operator.
3.2. „abl beacon“ Usage Requirements
3.2.1 Integration of the software development kit (hereinafter called „SDK„) is required for use. The specific SDK depends on the beacon hardware used and the extent of the functionality. The necessary information for integrating the SDK shall be provided to the operator no later than upon contract conclusion.
3.2.2. To interact with an „abl beacon“, the user must both have Bluetooth enabled on their device and have installed the mobile application of the operator, which includes the SDK.
3.2.3. The „abl beacon“ is a passive Bluetooth Low Energy module that emits a unique ID. Any abl beacon action can be stored in campaigns via „abl OCMP“. Actions are performed by the mobile application via the integrated SDK, e.g. a pop-up with a notification of an upcoming event or the current lunch menu.
3.3 „abl digital signage“ Usage Requirements
3.3.1. The operator provides the content for the „abl digital signage“ to abl or uploads it directly via the „abl OCMP“. It cannot be operated without content. Please contact abl Support for details.
3.3.2. „abl digital signage“ is a display that can be used for continuous operation in conjunction with the abl digital signage box or the appropriate player. An internet connection is required to update the content. It can also be directly connected via the „abl hotspot“.
3.4. „abl OCMP“ Usage Requirements
3.4.1. The „abl OCMP“ is only accessible for operators. The web address is https://www.abl-ocmp.de and can be opened with any web browser. abl recommends using a modern browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
3.4.2 Login details will be provided to the operator by abl after configuring the username. Login details are personal and may not be shared with others. The operator themselves are responsible for password security, and the password can be changed in the „abl OCMP“ by the operator themselves. Additional access by the operator can only be requested by an authorized person in the contract. Should the abl OCMP be used without authorization, e.g. through unauthorized password use, the operator shall oblige to immediately report this to abl so that the corresponding security measures can be taken.
4. Rent and Invoicing
4.1. The rent and one-time setup fee are individually calculated based on the respective hardware specification and the stipulated services. Rent is due monthly in advance, no later than on the 3rd workday of every month, with the first payment due after setting up the „abl hotspot“, „abl beacon“, „abl digital signage“, „abl OCMP“ or other contractually stipulated hardware/software at the operator’s premises, or after sending them to the operator.
Every month, the operator receives an electronic invoice by e-mail, which displays the rent due. Should the operator wish for a paper-based invoice, an additional 2.90 euros for the processing fee, materials and shipping will be billed for each paper invoice.
4.2. The operator shall agree to the direct debit process for due costs and, to that end, provide abl with an updated SEPA direct debit mandate for an account at a German bank for the duration of the contract. In case of a return debit, the parties shall stipulate a lump-sum, additional return debit fee of 15.00 in favor of abl.
4.3. Should no direct debit process be stipulated between the operator and abl in derogation of the aforementioned provision, the rent shall likewise be due monthly in advance, no later than on the 3rd workday (received by abl) of every month, with the first payment due after setting up the „abl hotspot“, „abl beacon“, „abl digital signage“, „abl OCMP“ or other contractually stipulated hardware/software at the user’s premises, or after sending them to the user. It should be explicitly noted that the operator shall be in statutory debtor’s default as of the following calendar day if the monthly rent is not paid no later than by the 3rd workday of every month.
4.4. abl shall reserve the right to invoice the operator for any stipulated setup fee before sending the hardware or its setup by abl at the operator’s premises. However, the stipulated setup fee is due no later than when the hardware is sent to the operator or when the hardware is commissioned by abl at the operator’s premises.
4.5. If payment is delayed, abl shall have the right to deactivate the devices without notice.
5.1. The contract shall begin on the day in which the hardware is commissioned at the operator’s premises or on which the hardware is sent to the operator and shall be concluded for the individually concluded term.
5.2. The contract may be cancelled in writing by both parties with a cancellation period of three months from the end of the contract. If the contract is not cancelled in writing by one party with a cancellation period of three months before the end of the contract, the contract shall automatically renew by an additional twelve months.
5.3. The right to extraordinary cancellation of the contract shall remain unaffected by this section. abl in particular may extraordinarily cancel the contract and uninstall the devices on-site if the operator is in arrears with a payment that exceeds two months’ rent.
5.4. The devices provided by abl and the accessories must be returned by the operator to abl within 14 days after the end of the contract and with adequate insurance and the customer number. Should the devices, including accessories, fail to be returned within 14 days, are incomplete, or if the devices or the accessories are damaged, please note that the operator shall pay damages equal to the non-returned or damage devices and/or accessories.
5.5. The operator may commission abl with dismantling the contractually stipulated hardware/software. The additional service must be requested no later than 30 days before the end of the contract. Its costs will be provided to the operator in a separate offer upon request.
6.1. Should a third party assert claims against the operator due to (alleged) infringements (e.g. copyright infringements) that are purported to have been made while using abl-operated hotspots, abl shall exempt the operator from legal defense against such claims pursuant to the following provisions, if the legal defense is handled by abl-selected attorneys. In the case of a conviction or reconciliation of the legal dispute through a settlement or (partial) acknowledgment, this includes any costs and damage compensation payments that are asserted by the third party along with the operator’s acceptance of any incurred legal defense fees (e.g. attorney’s, court and specialist fees).
The operator shall immediately inform abl after the claim in question is asserted and coordinate with abl regarding the execution of the audit and defense measures or a possible settlement claim relating to the claim.
6.2. In accordance with § 44a TKG, abl shall only be liable for unintentional financial damage up to a maximum sum of 12,500.00 euros per user in its provision of telecommunications services. Should the liability to pay for damages arise due to a uniform action or a uniform, injurious event against several end users and is not based on intent, the limit shall be capped at 10,000,000.00 euros, irrespective of paragraph 1. If, in the latter case, the compensation that must be paid to several parties due to the same event exceeds the aforementioned upper limit, then the compensation shall be limited by the ratio of the total of all damage claims to the maximum amount.
6.3. abl shall assume no liability whatsoever for damage to devices that is caused by using the provided hardware/software in a manner that is inconsistent with the contract. abl shall be exempt from any third-party claims if used illegally or if the installation performed by the technician has been altered. abl shall assume no liability for a virus attack, etc. caused by using the internet.
6.4. Furthermore, liability for slightly negligent breaches of duty shall be excluded for both sides, unless the damages involve injury to life, body or health or guarantees, claims according to product liability law are affected, or defects have been fraudulently concealed.
6.5. Furthermore, liability for the infringement of obligations, whose fulfillment make the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and the compliance of which one side may regularly rely on, shall remain unaffected. The same shall apply for breaches of duty on the part of vicarious agents. In case of liability according to the aforementioned provisions, the liability amount shall be limited to the compensation of damage that is typical for the contract and foreseeable, if permissible by law.
6.6. Liability on the part of abl for any other damages shall be excluded.
6.7. Encrypted WLAN networks on the „abl hotspot“ that are not set up for guests, e.g. for employees or payment services, will not be directed to abl’s internet nodes for security reasons. No liability shall be assumed for these networks according to the aforementioned provisions. The operator shall be responsible for protecting the corresponding login details for these networks from unauthorized access and prevent infringements, e.g. third-party copyright, particularly if login details to this network are given to others, lost, etc.
7. Confidentiality/Obligation to Secrecy
7.1. The contents of this contract are subject to the obligation to secrecy. Disclosure to third parties, even partially, generally requires the approval of abl.
This does not apply to information that has been verifiably
received or is being received by one party from a third party or
was already general knowledge upon concluding the contract or
will verifiably be general knowledge or
was already possessed by one party before beginning the business relationship and was not subject to any obligation to secrecy or
was independently developed by one party.
7.2. Furthermore, this shall not apply if the party that received the confidential information has the right to disclose the same, is legally or officially obligated to do so, or if the information is disclosed to people who are obligated to observe professional secrecy, such as auditors or attorneys.
7.3. This obligation extends beyond the termination of this contract.
8.1. If abl or third parties hired by abl collect and/or process the personal information of the users of the services in association with operating the „abl hotspot“, „abl beacon“, „abl digital signage“ or „abl OCMP“ (as described in this contract), abl–as the responsible party–shall ensure that this is carried out in compliance with all applicable privacy guidelines.
