Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries

Among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in the United States or other from a data protection perspective non-secure non-EU countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal data for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

Information about, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
• If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Rejection of unsolicited e-mails

We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.

3. Online-based Audio and Video Conferences (Conference tools)

Data processing

We use online conference tools, among other things, for communication with our customers. The tools we use are listed in detail below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference using the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by the provider of the respective conference tool and by us. The conferencing tools collect all information that you provide/access to use the tools (email address and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other “context information” related to the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all the technical data required for the processing of the online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker and the type of connection.

Should content be exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise made available within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool provider. Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud recordings, chat/ instant messages, voicemail uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not have complete influence on the data processing procedures of the tools used. Our possibilities are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the data protection declarations of the tools used, and which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and legal bases

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest in the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Insofar as consent has been requested, the tools in question will be used on the basis of this consent; the consent may be revoked at any time with effect from that date.

Duration of storage

Data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems immediately after you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the reason for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the duration of storage of your data that is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please directly contact the operators of the conference tools.

HIGHTEC EDV-SYSTEME END-USER LICENSE AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT (EULA)

IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY

This HighTec EDV-Systeme GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "HighTec") End-User License And Maintenance Agreement (hereinafter also referred to as "EULA") is a legal agreement between an individual person or a legal entity (hereinafter referred to as "Customer") and HighTec on the use of software and accessories developed and supplied by HighTec (hereinafter referred to as "Software"). By installing or using or registering to use the Software, Customer agrees to be bound by the provisions set down in this agreement. If Customer does not agree to these terms, he is not permitted to use the Software.

HighTec and their suppliers are the owners of any intellectual property rights in the software supplied hereunder. HighTec permits Customer to download, install, use and otherwise benefit from the Software in strict accordance with the provisions of this agreement. The use of third-party software, materials and services such as Open Source (e.g. GPL) based software included in or accessed in connection with the software might be subject to the Terms and Conditions of the respective third parties. The third-party software, materials and services are displayed in the information screen of the respective Software or identified by HighTec on request of Customer at any time.

The Software is fitted with product activation procedures (license manager) designed to prevent unauthorized use. Any attempt to circumvent the restrictions on unauthorized use shall result in the immediate termination of this agreement and loss of any rights of use on the part of Customer. In such a case, further use of the Software is liable to copyright infringement and further legal claims.

1 License

The Software is licensed, not sold, to the Customer. In accepting this agreement, Customer acknowledges that the Software remains the sole property of HighTec and/or their licensors. Nothing contained in this agreement will be construed as granting any ownership to Customer.

2 License types

The following license types are available:

2.1 Node-locked License - This is the most basic license type. It is granted for either a fixed or an unlimited number of licenses. The licenses are tied to the host-IDs of the computers where the Software is installed and used. A Node-locked License can have a version number, an expiration date, and other specific attributes.

2.2 Temporary (Short Term) License - This license restricts the use of the Software to a predefined period of time (6 months or less).

2.3 Floating (Floating-cached) License - Due to its not being tied to specific host-IDs, this license allows the use of the Software on the network at a single site, as long as the maximum number of purchased licenses (license seats) is not exceeded. The License Server handles the license grants via the network.

2.4 Time-zone-based License - This license restricts the use of the Software to one or more time zones. This is a legacy license type.

2.5 Country-based License - This multi-user license restricts the use of the Software to one or more sites within a specified country by a specified number of users.

2.6 Global License - This multi-user license permits the use of the Software anywhere in the world by a specified number of users.

2.7 Roaming - With this license type, users running licensed applications on their company network can disconnect from the network and take their licenses with them for working from home or in the field. Licenses that are thus "checked out" expire after a predetermined number of days or weeks, or can be returned to the license pool at the company network.

2.8 Evaluation License, Complimentary License, Free Entry Version License
This license is for non-commercial purposes of the product and furnished with an expiry date. Licensee agrees to use any Software provided to Licensee as an Evaluation only for the period until the license expiration, only to evaluate it individually for potential purchase of a license to the Software as an end-user, to conduct no business with it, to remove it and all result files produced from any of Licensee's Computers at the end of the trial evaluation period and to comply with all other obligations and restrictions in this Agreement. Any result files may not be used to link with result files from Licensed Software, and not used in any way in User Products. Licensee agrees to use any Software awarded to Licensee on a complimentary basis for student engineering competitions and similar competitions, course support, research, fellowship participation, and teaching assistance only for the specific purpose and period of the award, to conduct no business with it, and to comply with all other obligations and restrictions in the award letter and in this Agreement.

2.9 Build Server License - License on a central computer system (such as, but not limited to, a Jenkins/Hudson server), shared (used) by other systems, automated processes or users.

2.10 Remote License - License right, explicitly granted additionally to a node-locked license, for accessing the Software over a remote (desktop) connection.

2.11 Cloud (Server) Based License - License that is served from a license server that is hosted on a computer system publicly accessible on the Internet. Generally, such server or system is managed by HighTec.

2.12 Subscription Based License - Time-based license, usually with a global use scope, which includes Product Maintenance and Support for the same.

3 Terms of License

Upon payment of the applicable license fees, HighTec hereby grants to Customer the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to:
a) use the Software, solely for the design, simulation, implementation and manufacture of User Products (Developing License);
b) In case the Customer is developing own products by the means of or running under runtime environments or parts thereof, e.g. runtime libraries of HighTec, or e.g. PXROS-HR, a runtime license is required in User Products (Distribution License) for each core of a processor/micro controller which references functions of the runtime library.
Such Distribution License may be granted a) as license per deployed processor core in the User Product (payable annually or quarterly); b) against flat-fee payment for a definite time for a certain User Product or User Product line and independent from the number of User Product units; or c) unlimited in time, number of deployed processor cores or number of User Product units against payment of a lump-sum ("Buy-out").

3.1 Customer is permitted to make one backup copy of the Software for archiving purposes, which may only be installed in cases where the original copy of the Software is lost, corrupted or made unavailable in any way other than by use or possession by another person.

3.2 If Customer has purchased more than a single license, then this EULA allows the simultaneous use of the Software by several persons employed by Customer or hired as contractors (provided that such contractors oblige themselves in writing to observe the confidentiality obligations as per 7. of this Agreement). In doing so, the number of persons having access to and/or using the Software may not exceed the overall number of purchased licenses at any time. Customer understands and agrees that any use beyond the licensed number shall constitute not only breach of this EULA, but also a violation of national and international copyright and patent laws.

4 Further Restrictions on Use, Disclosure; Third-Party License Rights

4.1 License, Not Sale. The Software is licensed, not sold, to Customer. The Software is supplied by HighTec solely for the use at the designated location, identified on the Customer's purchase order.

In the event that Customer hires or engages any contractor for the purpose of assistance with the installation, implementation or other use of the Software at the Customer's premises, Customer shall first establish the fact that said contractor is not employed or engaged by any direct competitor of HighTec, and in the event such contractor is so employed or engaged, Customer shall in no event give such person access to the Software; in the event such contractor is not employed or engaged by a direct competitor of HighTec, Customer shall ensure that such contractor has signed before obtaining access to the Software an appropriate confidentiality declaration that protects the Software in a manner consistent with the confidentiality and other provisions in this EULA.

4.8 Third-Party Licenses. The rights granted in the scope of this agreement only relate to Software developed by HighTec. Customer understands and agrees, that the Software may contain software and/or other intellectual property rights owned by third parties and that it is not HighTec's obligation or responsibility to determine what, if any, third party licenses Customer has to obtain in connection with the third party software, in case Customer should decide to exploit the Software beyond the scope of the License granted to him by HighTec and Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless HighTec and HighTec's officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates and distributors from any liability, including but not limited to attorneys' fees and experts' fees associated in any way with Customer's failure to obtain or properly maintain any such required third party licenses.

The offer, order acknowledgement, order acceptance or sale or lease of any products covered herein is conditioned upon the terms contained in this instrument. Any conditional or different terms proposed by the Customer are objected to and will not be binding upon HighTec unless assented in writing by HighTec.
These conditions shall govern any future individual contract of sale or lease between HighTec and the Customer to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions subject to which any such quotation is accepted or purported to be accepted, or any such order is made or purported to be made, by the Customer.
Any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in any sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other document of information issued by HighTec shall be subject to correction without any liability on the part of HighTec.
The provisions of these Standard Terms and Conditions extend to standard contract conditions which are used in a contract with a merchant in the course of business only.

2. Orders and Specifications

No order submitted by the Customer shall be deemed to be accepted by HighTec unless and until confirmed in writing by HighTec or HighTec’s representative or delivery of the ordered goods within 21 days after submittal.
The quantity, quality and description of and any specification for the goods shall be those set out in HighTec’s quotation (if accepted by the Customer) or the Customer’s order (if accepted by HighTec). Any such specification, sales literature, quotation etc. shall be strictly confidential and must not be made available to third parties.
The Customer shall be responsible to HighTec for ensuring the accuracy of the terms of any order submitted by the Customer, and for giving HighTec any necessary information relating to the goods within a sufficient time to enable HighTec to perform the contract in accordance with its terms.
If the goods are to be programmed, manufactured, modified, or any process is to be applied to the goods by HighTec in accordance with a specification submitted by the Customer, the Customer shall indemnify HighTec against all loss, damages, costs and expenses awarded against or incurred by HighTec in connection with or paid or agreed to be paid by HighTec in settlement of any claim for infringement of any patent, copyright, design, trade mark or other industrial or intellectual rights of any other person which results from HighTec’s use of the Customer’s specification.
HighTec reserves the right to make any changes in the specification of the goods which are required to conform with any applicable statutory requirements or, where the goods are to be supplied to HighTec’s specification, which do not materially affect their quality or performance.

3. Price of the Goods

The price of the goods shall be HighTec’s quoted price or, where no price has been quoted, the price listed in HighTec’s published price list valid at the date of acceptance of the order. Where the Goods are supplied for export from Germany, HighTec’s published export price list shall apply.
HighTec reserves the right, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the goods to reflect increases in the cost to HighTec which are due to any factor beyond the control of HighTec (such as foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of materials or other costs of manufacture) or any change in delivery dates.
Unless as otherwise stated under the terms of any quotation or in any price list of HighTec, and unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Customer and HighTec, all prices are given by HighTec on an ex works basis. Where HighTec agrees to deliver the Goods otherwise than at HighTec’s premises, the Customer shall be liable to pay HighTec’s charges for transport, packaging and insurance.
The price is exclusive of any applicable value added tax, which the Customer shall be additionally liable to pay to HighTec.

4. Terms of Payment

The Customer shall pay the price of the goods within 14 days from the date of HighTec’s invoice.
Payment shall be effected by interbank payment transaction only; no cheque or bill of exchange will be considered as fulfilment of the payment obligation.
It may be agreed between the parties that the Customer has to deliver a letter of credit issued by his bank (or any bank acceptable to HighTec). In this individual case it is assumed that any letter of credit will be issued in accordance with the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 1993 Revision, ICC Publication UCP 500.
If the Customer fails of make any payment on the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to HighTec, HighTec shall at their discretion be entitled to:

• cancel the contract or suspend any further deliveries to the purchaser; or
• charge the Customer interest on the amount unpaid, at the rate of 7 per cent per annum above the European Central Bank reference rate, being valid at that time, until payment in full is made. The Customer shall be entitled to prove that the delay of payment caused only minor or no damage.

5. Delivery

Delivery of the Goods shall be made by the Customer collecting the Goods at HighTec’s premises at any time after HighTec has notified the Customer that the goods are ready for collection or, if a different place for delivery is agreed, by HighTec delivering the Goods to the agreed place. In case of the sale or lease of software, the parties may agree on an online delivery via computer networks such as the internet. In case of online deliveries via computer networks Customer has without any delay to verify the correctness of the transferred data by check of their Hash code (according to §§ 377 and 378 German Commercial Code).
If a fixed time for delivery is provided for in the Contract, and HighTec fail to deliver within such time or any extension thereof granted, the Customer shall be entitled, on giving HighTec notice in writing within a reasonable time, to claim a reduction of 3% per week of the price payable under the contract, unless it can be reasonably concluded from the circumstances of the particular case that the Customer has suffered no damage caused by default. The 3% limitation shall not apply if the business was agreed as a firm deal or if the delay was caused negligently or intentionally by HighTec, their agents or representatives, or if there is any further breach of essential contractual obligations.
If, for any reason whatever, HighTec fail to effect delivery in due time, the Customer shall be entitled by notice in writing to HighTec to fix a deadline after the expiry of which the Customer shall be entitled to terminate the contract. Damages may only be claimed by the Customer if HighTec (or their representatives) failed to fulfil the contract by intention or gross negligence, or in case of culpable breach of essential contractual obligations.
If the Customer fails to accept delivery on due date, he shall nevertheless make any payment conditional on delivery as if the goods had been delivered. HighTec shall arrange for the storage of the goods at the risk and cost of the Customer. If required by the Customer, HighTec shall insure the goods at the cost of the Customer.

6. Transfer of Risks

Risk of damage to or loss of the goods shall pass to the Customer as follows:

• in the case of goods to be delivered otherwise than at HighTec’s premises, at the time of delivery or, if the Customer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the goods, the time when HighTec has tendered delivery of the goods;
• in the case of goods to be delivered at HighTec’s premises (“ex works”, Incoterms 2000) at the time when HighTec notifies the Customer that the goods are available for collection.

7. Retention of Title in Case of Sales of Hardware Products

Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other provision of these conditions, the property in the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until HighTec has received payment in full of the price of the Goods and all other Goods agreed to be sold by HighTec to the Customer for which payment is then due.
HighTec shall have absolute authority to retake, sell or otherwise deal with or dispose of all or any part of the goods in which title remains vested in HighTec; Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer shall hold the Goods as HighTec’s fiduciary agent, and shall keep the Goods properly stored, protected and insured and shall mark it as property of HighTec.
Until that time the Customer shall be entitled to resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of his business, but shall account to HighTec for the proceeds of sale or otherwise of the Goods including insurance proceeds, and shall keep all such proceeds separate form any moneys or properties of the Customer and third parties.
If the Goods are processed or reshaped by the Customer and if processing is done with Goods that HighTec has no property in, HighTec shall become co-owner of the Goods. The same shall apply if HighTec’s Goods are completely reshaped and mixed with other goods.
If third parties take up steps to pledge or otherwise dispose of the goods, the Customer shall immediately notify HighTec in order to enable HighTec to seek a court injunction in accordance with § 771 of the German Code of Civil Procedure. If the Customer fails to do so in due time he will be held liable for any damages caused.
HighTec shall on demand of the Customer release any part of the collateral if the value of the collateral held in favour of HighTec exceeds the value of the claims being secured. It is to HighTec’s decision to release those parts of the collateral suitable for them.
