VI. Disclaimer.

Subject to the terms below, DyCarnica represents that it has the right to license the rights granted under this agreement.

DyCarnica makes no representation or warranty, and expressly disclaims any responsibility for liability with respect to your use of the Site and/or the Services or the results obtained from your use of the site or the services, including, but not limited to, liability associated with errors or omissions, libel, infringement or violation of rights of publicity, privacy, intellectual property rights, or moral rights, or the disclosure of confidential information.

Moreover, except for the express warranties stated herein, the Site and the Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, and DyCarnica disclaims any and all other warranties, conditions, covenants, or representations (express, implied, oral or written), relating to the Site and/or the Services or to any parts thereof, including, without limitation, any and all implied warranties of quality, performance, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. DyCarnica also makes no warranties respecting and shall have no responsibility for any harm that may be caused by the transmission of a computer virus, worm, time bomb, logic bomb or other such computer program or otherwise. DyCarnica further expressly disclaims any warranty or representation to any third party.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, DyCarnica shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of data, business interruption, or loss of profits, arising out of the use of or the inability to use the Site and/or the Services (even if DyCarnica has been advised of the possibility of such damages). In addition, DyCarnica shall not be liable for any damages or liability that result or arise from the results of your use or your inability to use the Site and/or any other part of the Services. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. But, to the extent the foregoing limitations of liability are, in whole or in part, held to be inapplicable or unenforceable for any reason, then the aggregate liability of DyCarnica for any reason and upon any cause of action (including, without limitation, negligence, strict liability and other actions in contract or tort) arising out of or in any way related to the site, the services and/or this agreement shall be limited to your direct damages actually incurred up to two hundred Euros (€200).

VII. Final Provisions.

ORDER OF PRECEDENCE.
In the event this Agreement conflicts with any individual Agreement(s), the relevant terms of the applicable individual Agreement(s) shall take precedence over the conflicting term(s) of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any terms concerning governing law, jurisdiction, venue, dispute resolution, or any other similar terms.
 
WITHDRAWAL AND RAVOCATION FROM CONTRACT
As soon as you run a licensed Cleanbustion SNCR database, a revocation or withdrawal from the contract is no longer applicable.
 
TARGET GROUP
Cleanbustion is a Service for companies (B2B) only. The consumer protection laws (B2C) are therefore not applicable.
 
APPLICABLE LAWS.

If you are accessing a DyCarnica site pursuant to an Access Agreement or other agreement executed by DyCarnica , the substantive laws of Autria will govern any dispute arising under this Agreement, without regard to any conflict of laws provisions.

If you are accessing a DyCarnica site pursuant to an Access Agreement or other agreement executed by DyCarnica, any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof may be settled by mediators (ZivMediatG) registered by mutual agreement for the out-of-court settlement of the dispute, with a focus on business mediation, from the list of the Ministry of Justice. If no agreement can be reached on the selection of business mediators or on the content, at the earliest one month from the failure of the negotiations legal action has been taken.

In the event that mediation has not been concluded or has been terminated, Austrian law shall apply in any legal proceedings initiated. All necessary expenses incurred as a result of a previous mediation, in particular also those for legal advisors consulted, can be claimed as “pre-litigation costs” in accordance with the agreement in court or arbitration proceedings.

The place of arbitration shall be Klagenfurt, Austria.  The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of Austria applicable to the claims asserted.  The arbitrator shall determine how the fees will be allocated between the parties and may award the prevailing party all or part of its costs and reasonable attorney fees. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties and judgment upon any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties specifically reserve the right to seek provisional remedies, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedy in a court of competent jurisdiction, without waiving any right to arbitration.

GENERAL

Without limiting any other remedy available to us, we may suspend or terminate this Agreement and your access to the Services and/or Site under this Agreement if we have reason to believe that you have failed to comply with your obligations under this Agreement. Upon termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement for any reason and by either party, you agree to cease all use of the Services. Certain provisions of these terms and conditions may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages at this Site or in conjunction with the Services. No delay or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of such provision by DyCarnica or act as estoppel against later enforcement. Subject to the terms of Section “Order of Precedence”, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and DyCarnica with respect to the specific subject matter addressed herein, and governs your use of the Site and/or the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and DyCarnica relating to such subject matter, but this Agreement may be supplemented by any other agreement you enter into with DyCarnica pursuant to a registration to access certain features of the Site and/or the Services such as an Access Agreement or other agreement. You may not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of DyCarnica. You may not assert any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to your use of the Site and/or the Services more than one year after the date such claim or cause of action arose. DyCarnica shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement due to any delay or failure of performance or interruption in the availability of the Site and/or the Services resulting directly or indirectly from any act of nature or other cause beyond the reasonable control of DyCarnica. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect. The section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

DyCarnica may terminate this Agreement for any reason at any time without any advance notice to you.  Notwithstanding any such early termination, Sections “II” through “VI” of this Agreement shall survive any expiration, cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

In the event that individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions should be and/or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions and the contracts concluded on the basis thereof. The ineffective provision shall be replaced by an effective provision which comes as close as possible to the meaning and economic purpose of the ineffective provision.

BY USING OR ACCESSING THIS SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.
