- GENERAL
- These Terms and Conditions of Use for MMR Mobile from HOMAG GmbH, 72296 Schopfloch , Germany ("we", "us") set out the special conditions that apply to the licensing and use of the services provided on the tapio ecosystem ("tapio") by us for our customers ("customer(s), "you").
- In addition to these Terms and Conditions
of Use, the use of tapio is also subject to the TAPIO ECOSYSTEM General
Terms and Conditions of Use ("Platform Terms and Conditions of Use")
agreed between tapio GmbH and the customer; this applies even if not
expressly reiterated in relation to individual topics. In the event of
conflict between the provisions of the Platform Terms and Conditions of

over these Terms and Conditions of Use; this priority applies only to
provisions relating to the use of tapio.

authorized service user. If the service in question relates to specific
machines or plants, the service right of use applies only to those
machines and plants that the customer uses for itself and its affiliated
companies to process its own internal business transactions
("Authorized Machines"). The use of services for machines and systems of
third parties (in particular by registration of foreign
machinery/equipment in the Admin Portal) is expressly prohibited.
- INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
All service users wishing to use MMR Mobile are required by
tapio GmbH to register by providing a name and email address; users must

details obtained as outlined above.

The data is primarily your user name, contact data of the user, machine
data, production data (if available up to 12 months retrospective),and
material data (master data, process data) required for provision of the
service. To optimize the service and to further develop the machines and

Further information about our data use and data
protection policies can be found at: https://www.homag.com/en/company/policy/.
- Data processing by tapio GmbH is subject to the
data protection provisions of the Platform Terms and Conditions of Use
and to the platform's own data protection policies, which can be found
at: https://www.tapio.one/en/policy.
- FEES
- The level of fees payable by the customer is
based on the MMR Mobile fee model and the prices applicable at the time
of the order.
- All prices are subject to addition of the statutory sales tax applicable at the time.
- Unless otherwise agreed, payment of the fees owed will be due within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of the invoice.
- The customer may only assert a right of
retention or right of set-off if the rights or claims that the customer
is asserting in this regard have been legally established or are
undisputed.
- MMR Mobile is sold by tapio GmbH as a commercial
agent of HOMAG GmbH. HOMAG GmbH authorizes tapio GmbH to sell the app
on its behalf to all customers registered on the portal.
- tapio GmbH will invoice you for the fees and
collect payment thereof in its own name. The partner authorizes tapio
GmbH to collect the payments.
- RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CUSTOMER
- The customer is responsible for the provision
and maintenance of the system requirements as detailed in the product
description and in the Platform Terms and Conditions of Use.
- MMR Mobile may only be used by authorized users
and in compliance with these Terms and Conditions of Use and the
Platform Terms and Conditions of Use.
- TERM, TERMINATION
- Unless otherwise explicitly specified in the
product description, MMR Mobile cannot be terminated before the end of
the initially agreed term. The customer is entitled to terminate the MMR
Mobile service no later than 3 (three) days prior to the end of each
automatically extended term. Notice of termination must be submitted at https://store.tapio.one using the function provided.
- The remaining provisions of the Platform Terms
and Conditions of Use, including the right to terminate early for good
cause, are unaffected.
- QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY
- The content and quality of MMR Mobile as well as
the nature and scope of the services to be provided by us in connection
with MMR Mobile are based exclusively on the relevant product
description and these Terms and Conditions of Use. Unless the relevant
product description or these Terms and Conditions of Use include
provisions to the contrary, the following apply:
- We will take appropriate measures and
safety precautions to prevent our services from causing harmful effects
to the user environment of the customer and to ensure adequate data
security.
- Information about our services that
appears on web pages, in applications (e.g. mobile apps) and in
catalogs, general product descriptions, data sheets, plans and drawings,
in particular in relation to availability, functionality, performance
data, etc., is legally binding only if the product-specific terms and
conditions make explicit reference to this information or if we have
provided some other means of explicit written confirmation.
- Unless otherwise explicitly agreed in
writing, MMR Mobile does not include any customer-specific services,
such as case-specific data analyses, that go beyond the standard
functionality of MMR Mobile.
- We have no influence over the quality of
the data created and collected in customer environments, in particular
in relation to the operation of machines and plants. Prior to the
automated analysis of the raw data, there is no separate review of the
data formats, the content or the scope, nor of the quality,
completeness, reliability and/or the accuracy of the raw data.
- The software and algorithms used for the
analysis of the raw data produce the analysis on the basis of specific
methods, which may be revised at any time. The resulting data analyses
and the results displayed to the customer are determined in large part
by the configurations of the machines, plants and materials in question
and by the settings selected by the customer. Analysis processes
completed on this basis are, like any scientific method, subject to
inherent restrictions and as such it is not possible to determine fully
binding best practices. MMR Mobile is intended solely as a support or as
an aid; it does not replace independent review and/or the critical
decision-making on the part of the customer and its authorized users
about whether, and if so which, organizational and technical measures
are required with regard to the use and operation of machines, plants
and materials with regard to the production processes of the customer.
Specifically, we do not conduct a statutory review to determine whether
any measures planned by customers on the basis of our services are
legally permissible, e.g. under the terms of data protection legislation
or employment legislation. The customer has sole responsibility for its
use of MMR Mobile.
- We strive to improve MMR Mobile on a continuous
basis. It may be necessary from time to time to implement version
updates for MMR Mobile. This usually takes place automatically, without
first obtaining the consent of the customer and without explicitly
making the customer aware of the update. The customer's rights of use
for the service are unaffected.
- Certain availability features and service levels will apply only insofar as they form part of the relevant service description.
- We accept no responsibility for any malfunction
of the tapio platform; the Platform Terms and Conditions of Use apply in
this instance.
- We accept no responsibility for any malfunction of MMR Mobile that
- can be attributed to causes outside of
our control (e.g. natural disasters, wars, terrorist attacks, riots,
labor disputes, government measures, network or device failures,
including those at the location of the customer or between the location
of the customer and the data center used by tapio);
- is due to the use of services, hardware
or software that were not provided by us or are not explicitly approved
by us, including problems associated with insufficient bandwidth or
software, or third-party services;
- is caused by the customer's use of MMR
Mobile after we have instructed the customer to modify the use of MMR
Mobile and the customer has failed to modify its use of the service as
instructed;
- is caused by unauthorized action
(including incorrect entries) or failure to take a required action on
the part of the customer or its employees, representatives, contracting
partners or suppliers, or by other people who have gained access to MMR
Mobile, or that is caused in any other way by failure on the part of the
customer to comply with the appropriate safety procedures;
- is caused by the customer's failure to
observe the required configurations or by using MMR Mobile in a manner
that is not compatible with the features and functions of MMR Mobile
(e.g. attempts to carry out operations that are not supported) or does
not correspond to the support information published by us.
- SUPPORT
- In the event of technical problems and questions
relating to the use of MMR Mobile, the customer can access the hotline
service at the specified times using the contact details provided to the
customer.
- CHANGES
- We are entitled at any time to change these
Terms and Conditions of Use and the product-specific terms and
conditions ("changes"). These changes may include, in particular,
regular technical and functional updates; however, we are not obliged to
make such changes.
- We will inform the customer of material changes
in an appropriate form and with appropriate notice. Material changes
include, in particular, changes that have a noticeable impact on the
availability, functionality or quality of MMR Mobile or on the
contractual relationship.
- If the change results in a considerable
deterioration in the availability, functional scope or quality of MMR
Mobile for the customer, the customer will have a special right of
termination. The special right of termination must be asserted in
writing and must be received by us within 15 (fifteen) working days of
receipt by the customer of the information about the change.
- Changes to these Terms and Conditions of Use or
to the product-specific terms and conditions will become effective
unless we receive a written objection from the client, addressed to the
contact details given below, within 30 (thirty) days of receipt by the
customer of the information about the change. In the event of an
objection from the customer, we have a special right of termination in
relation to all contractual relationships that are affected by the
customer's refusal to accept the change. The customer will explicitly be
made aware of this consequence upon communication of the change(s).
- CONFIDENTIALITY
- Each contracting partner undertakes to treat
confidential information relating to the other party with the same care
they would apply to their own operational and commercial secrets with
similar significance, and at a minimum to apply the appropriate
technical and organizational measures to ensure confidentiality; this
includes, among other things, ensuring adequate protection against
unauthorized access and misuse.
- Confidential information includes all
operational and commercial secrets of the contracting partners and all
physical or verbal information and data, such as technical or commercial
data (in particular, raw data and service data), analyses based on that
data, development plans, plans relating to product development and
product design, information about hardware, databases or about any
software, source codes and algorithms used or produced, as well as
documents or knowledge that the contracting partners exchange in
connection with the customer's use of tapio and that have been marked as
"confidential" or similar in the case of written or other physical
data, or that must be considered as confidential based on their nature.
- If the receiving contracting partner is
responsible for any unauthorized access, unauthorized use, illegal
copying, unauthorized sharing or any other unauthorized action in
relation to the confidential information of the sending contract
partner, or if it becomes aware of any such infringements, the receiving
contracting partner must immediately inform the sending contracting
partner of said infringements in text form and shall immediately take
all necessary actions and bear all necessary costs to rectify the
infringement in question.
- The obligation to maintain secrecy does not apply to confidential information that
- was legally known to the receiving
contracting partner without being subject to a secrecy obligation prior
to the information being shared with them;
- is available or will be available in the
public domain independently of any actions by the receiving contracting
partner, unless said confidential information is not currently
considered to be in the public domain because only parts of it are or
will be publicly accessible;
- was communicated to or shared with the
receiving contracting partner by a third party legally and with no
obligation to maintain secrecy, provided that, to the best of the
receiving contracting partner's knowledge, the third party has not
infringed its own obligation to maintain secrecy by sharing the
information;
- was developed by the receiving
contracting partner independently and without recourse to confidential
information, or constitutes one of the exceptions detailed in sections
12.4.1 to 12.4.3 or 12.4.6;
- must be disclosed under the terms of
mandatory regulatory or judicial orders or binding legal provisions,
provided that the other contracting partner has been informed in writing
of the disclosure; or
- has been explicitly exempted from the obligation to maintain secrecy by the sending contracting partner.
- Any contracting partner that is invoking an exception must prove the existence of the relevant conditions.
- WARRANTY, INDEMNITY
- We warrant that the MMR Mobile service provided
to the customer will be of the agreed quality. We make no guarantees
regarding the safe, uninterrupted or error-free operation of tapio
and/or MMR Mobile. Unless explicitly stated in the product description,
we accept no liability for the suitability of our functions for a
specific purpose.
- In the event of defects we will take the
necessary measures to remedy the defects within a reasonable period of
time. Furthermore, in the event of defects that existed at the time at
which the MMR Mobile agreement became legally effective, we will accept
liability only where we are at fault.
- If a third party asserts claims against the
customer on the basis of alleged infringement of their copyrights or
their industrial property rights by MMR Mobile for which we are
responsible, we will exempt the customer from all damages and other
costs legally imposed in court proceedings, insofar as we have been made
aware of the assertion of such a claim immediately and in writing and
information and appropriate support is provided. Furthermore, this
exemption is subject to us being granted the authorization to defend or
settle the asserted claim.
- Warranty and indemnity claims are excluded
- in the cases referred to in section 9.4,
unless the customer can prove that the defect/infringement would have
occurred even without the existence of the circumstances mentioned in
said section;
- insofar as the infringement of the
customer's duty to cooperate or the failure to provide immediate and
detailed notification of the defect in text form cause or contribute to
damage or result in rectification of the defect not being possible or no
longer being possible; the conditions referred to in section 13.3
remain unaffected.
- LIABILITY
- In the case of personal injury, we accept
unlimited liability for damages resulting from malice and for all
damages caused by the willful or gross negligence of our legal
representatives or vicarious agents.
- In all other cases, our liability will be
limited to breaches of key contractual obligations that are attributable
to us and will be based on the merits of the case. Key contractual
obligations are obligations that must be fulfilled in order to
facilitate proper use and that customers must be able to rely on being
fulfilled. Liability for a breach of key contractual obligations of this
kind is limited to the damages typically estimable at the time of
conclusion of the contract. The upper limit for typically estimable
damages for MMR Mobile will be the annual sum paid for MMR Mobile.
- In all other cases, our liability for damages
caused as a result of negligence, irrespective of legal basis, is
excluded. This also applies in respect of any of our legal
representatives, employees, vicarious agents and subcontractors to whom
obligations were transferred.
- The limitations of liability detailed above do
not apply in the case of provision by us of an explicit warranty or in
the case of liability as defined by the ProdHaftG (Produkthaftungsgesetz
— German Product Liability Act).
- The statute of limitations for claims for
damages against us and our legal representatives, employees, vicarious
agents and subcontractors will essentially be one year from the date the
basis of the claims arises. The cases detailed in section 13.1 are
excluded.
- DECLARATIONS, NOTIFICATIONS
- Where declarations or notifications stipulated
by these Terms and Conditions of Use require a text form, this may take
the form of an email or input fields provided specifically for this
purpose.
- Where declarations or notifications stipulated
by the Terms and Conditions require exclusively the written form, such
declarations or notifications must be signed by an authorized
representative of the declaring contracting partner and submitted to the
other contracting partner by post or fax.
- Special notifications and declarations for the
customer will be addressed to the contact details provided when the
customer registered on tapio, or to the customer's business address
where the customer has not provided us with any other contact details.
Notifications and declarations that concern all customers or multiple
customers may also be published on our homepage or on the tapio platform
as a customer notice.

- MISCELLANEOUS
- These Terms and Conditions of Use, together with the product description available at https://store.tapio.one,
including pricing information and the separate Platform Terms and
Conditions of Use, form the complete agreement between us and the
customer for the MMR Mobile order.
- The customer's general terms and conditions of purchase will not apply.
- These Terms and Conditions of Use and their
interpretation are subject to German Law. The applicability of the UN
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is
excluded. The sole place of jurisdiction for all disputes concerning
rights and obligations defined by these Terms and Conditions of Use,
including their effectiveness, is the location of our registered office.
- If individual provisions of these Terms and
Conditions of Use are or become fully or partially invalid or
unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms
and Conditions of Use will remain unaffected. The contracting partners
shall replace the invalid or unenforceable provision immediately with a
provision that reflects as closely as possible the legal and economic
intent of the invalid or unenforceable provision. Until such time as the
new provision is added, it will be considered as agreed. The above
applies accordingly to the correction of any deficiencies with the
contract.
