Nuki Home Solutions GmbH

Email: contact@nuki.io
Dispatch of the revocation notice by the specified deadline shall suffice to observe the revocation period.
- Consequences of revocation:. In the event of a cancellation, any benefits received by one party from the other must be returned, and any economic advantages gained must be repaid. If a User is not able to return the services rendered to Nuki in full or in part, Nuki shall be reimbursed for the value lost.

The confirmation of contract includes a confirmation of approval to immediate provision of services and a statement indicating that the consumer notes that, as a consequence, the right of withdrawal (right of revocation) no longer applies.
- Revocation instruction:. The revocation instruction and the revocation form available to the Customer (that is, however, not mandatory) are enclosed in Annex 1 to these GTC. At contract formation (e.g. in the course of placing an order), Users confirm that they’ve been informed about their cancellation rights.

Nuki does not represent or warrant that the Website will be available at all times, or that it and the necessary hardware and software will be completely free of errors.
- Network outages, disruptions, maintenance work or other events, which are unavoidable and for which Nuki bears no responsibility, may give rise to interruptions of service.

- Additionally, Nuki does not make any representations or warranties with respect to external links, banners or other information and marketing offers that may be made accessible to the user. Any contractual arrangements entered into between the User and a third party provider, e.g., via linked websites or banners, result in a contractual relationship between such User and the third party provider only. Nuki does not make any representations or warranties with respect to products or services of third party providers.

The Registered User is solely responsible for any damages caused by such materials to his computer system or for information that is lost as a consequence of downloading materials from the Website.

The following events are considered as equivalent to force majeure: strikes, lock-outs, interventions of public authorities for which Nuki bears no responsibility, and similar circumstances, provided that they are unforeseeable, not susceptible, controllable and not due to default.

- The User shall hold harmless and indemnify Nuki from and against any third party claims raised because of an alleged breach of proprietary rights due to content being uploaded by the User within the Nuki network or due to any other use of applications available throught the Nuki network. User shall bear the costs of a legal representation that becomes necessary including but not limited to court- and lawyer’s expenses up to the amount required by law. This, however, shall not apply if the alleged infringement is not attributable to culpable behaviour of the User.
- The User shall promptly and correctly inform Nuki of any third party claim and provide any information available and relevant for an examination of the claims and for an adequate defence. Any damage claims beyond this scope that Nuki may have vis-à-vis the User shall remain unaffected.
- Nuki does not claim ownership of any content and will not supervise such content.
- Nuki reserves the right to delete content created by Users, such as routes, events or comments without giving reasons. In this event, the user shall be notified and, in the event of a breach of these GTC, may be sanctioned.
- Nuki shall not be responsible for inaccurate content created by Users.
§ 12
Compensation, terms of payment
Unless otherwise agreed, our services are subject to a fee. By registering with us, Users agree to the service fees and price schemes of Nuki.
- Pricing of Nuki is based on customary calculations and refers to the scope of services, the Product Portfolio in particular, requested by a User.
- All prices are denominated in euros. Delivery costs, if any, shall be charged separately and apply only to the present contract.
- As a rule, payments demanded are due upon receipt of an invoice on the due date indicated in the invoice or, in the absence of such due date, within seven calendar days following receipt of the invoice by the User. The invoiced amount shall be credited to the bank account indicated in the invoice on the due date, at the latest. Use of Products shall be conditional upon settlement of open accounts with Nuki; the latter may withhold provision of Services until payment has been received.
- Payment shall be deemed received on the date the amount is available to Nuki or credited to the bank account indicated on the invoice. In case of delayed payments, Nuki shall charge legal default interest as of the 15th -day following the invoice date, unless costs in excess thereof have been incurred. Dunning, enquiry and other costs incurred in the context of recovering a claim shall be born by the User. This shall not restrict Nuki to assert any further damages if applicable.
- Nuki accepts credit cards, online payment (Paypal, online-banking) as well as down payments. The Customer shall bear all expenses arising in connection with payment transactions.
- The User waives his right to set off any counterclaims against compensation claims, unless these counterclaims have been acknowledged by Nuki in writing or determined by a court. Moreover, the Member may not withhold payments on the grounds of incomplete total delivery, guarantee or warranty claims or complaints.
- All tax liabilities arising from or pertaining to payments to Nuki, except income tax, shall be born solely by the User. The Customer shall hold harmless and indemnify Nuki for any wrongful assertion of such tax claims.
§ 13
Software
In the event that we provide software you will be entitled to use the software with a limited User license. The software shall in any case be subject to a final User license agreement that specifies the provisions in detail.
- To the extent software is made available to the User, the User shall, for the period and purpose of using the services, be granted a non-exclusive and non-transferable license, that must not be used for commercial purposes (e.g. granting of sub-licenses), for the use of the software for private purposes and in conformity with any final User provisions.
- With the exception of the right to make a backup copy, the User (to the extent permissible by law) shall not be allowed to duplicate, publish or distribute the software or the relevant documents or make them available to third parties by any other means beyond what is considered usual and common scope.
§ 14
Mobile applications, technical requirements
Smooth and trouble-free use of our services requires that you have modern technology available and Internet access. We are unable to guarantee protection from viruses and other technical risks; we do not assume any liability for uninterrupted or trouble-free access to our services.
- Mobile applications (Apps) of Nuki are only available to owners of smartphones (see § 4). Please note that these GTC neither replace nor amend the general terms of use and conditions of business of smartphone suppliers that consequently apply to the User without restriction.
- Internet access and a correspondingly modern device including browser are required to use the Product Portfolio; the equipment needs to be capable of presenting the graphics of the App and/or Website. Data traffic resulting from the use of the services and Products of Nuki is substantial and may cause costs, especially for mobile use of the services. Nuki therefore recommends a flat rate. Costs and risk of Internet data traffic shall be assumed by the User exclusively.
- The User is aware of the fact that, due to the technical nature of the Internet, it is impossible to ensure complete protection from viruses, trojans, spyware, etc. Nuki is therefore unable to warrant such protection. Nuki does not provide any warranty for specific availability of services and Products and expressly reserves the right to interrupt them for technical or other reasons.
- Nuki is unable to warrant that access to the Product Portfolio will be available at all times and free from any problems. Nuki shall not be liable for failures, disruptions and/or impairment for which Nuki is not accountable. Consequently, it shall be the User’s responsibility to carry out regular updates of the software used by him, save his data regularly, install appropriate virus protection and effective firewall systems.
