General Terms and Conditions

GENERAL SECTION

1. Scope of Contract

The Terms and Conditions of ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG shall apply to all legal transactions between ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG and its Customers (including to the ARGUSavenue-platform and the software contained therein as set out in Annex II).

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG‘s Terms and Conditions are divided into a General Section and three Annexes (Annex I: Media Related Services, Annex II: ARGUSavenue and Media Contact Database and Annex III: Language Services), which – where applicable – shall form an integral part of these Terms and Conditions. The provisions of the General Section apply to all legal transactions between ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG and its Customers. The provisions of the Annexes only apply as far as ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG and the Customer have agreed on a service set out accordingly in the particular Annex. In the event of a conflict between a provision of this General Section and a provision of Annexes I-III, the provisions of Annexes I-III shall prevail over the provisions of this General Section to the extent of the conflict.

Upon conclusion of the Contract, the terms and conditions applicable and delivered at the time of the conclusion of the contract shall apply exclusively. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG expressly puts on record that any existing, deviating terms and conditions of the Customer shall not be approved

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG may at any time amend, supplement or discontinue the service and amend these Terms and Conditions accordingly. Amendments of the service and these Terms and Conditions, respectively enter into force when the Customer is notified by mail, email or any other suitable means of client information. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG will announce any price increases in good time and in writing to enable the Customer to terminate the Contract within the statutory notice period. If no written confirmation of termination is received within this period, the changes will be deemed to have been accepted by the Customer.

Through the use of the service, the Customers agree to the respectively applicable version of these Terms and Conditions.

2. Legal Validity and Precedence of the German Version

Only the Terms and Conditions in German are legally binding. General Terms and Conditions in other languages are translations of the German version and are provided merely as a service to the Customer to allow faster understanding in a foreign language.

In case of doubt, the German version shall always take precedence and be legally binding.

3. Conclusion of Contract

The Contract between the Customer and ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG shall come into existence only on instruction by the Customer and its acceptance by ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG.

The Contract between the Customer and ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG shall come into force when ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG

a) signs the written mandate (Contract) and sends it to the Customer, and receives it countersigned and returned by the Customer, or

b) returns an order confirmation (electronically or via postal mail) to the Customer, or

c) delivers the services ordered by the Customer.

If the Contract is concluded through the transmission of the signed order confirmation, then the order confirmation to the Customer and these Terms and Conditions contain the main terms of the Contract, as previously agreed (verbally). This shall be deemed to be confirmed if the Customer does not object to the order confirmation within 10 days of the date of receipt.

If the Customer orders services via “Buy on Demand“, then the contract shall only come into effect after expiration of the testing period.

4. Delivery Intervals

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG delivers its services according to the Customer’s order and the respective provisions in Annexes I-III.

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG is not liable for delays caused by digital/electrical network failures or due to disruptions occurring at Swiss Post, courier services, internet providers and the like.

5. Guarantee and Liability

5.1. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG Guarantee and Liability

Unless otherwise provided by Annexes I-III, ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG shall only be liable for infringements of the Contract or non-contractual claims in the event of damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, but not otherwise. To the extent permitted by law, the level of any liability of ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG is moreover generally limited to an annual payment to be made by the Customer for the corresponding service but in all cases to a maximum of CHF 25,000. In addition, ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG shall to the extent permitted by law not be liable for consequential damages, loss of profit or chances/goodwill as well as the loss of data. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG shall not be liable for the behaviour of auxiliary persons (assistants).

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG shall accept no liability for the content, accuracy or up-to-dateness of the content of external links. Content on linked pages is the sole responsibility of the respective site owners. The Customer understands and accepts that the unchecked search (online media monitoring) is carried out automatically and that control of the content is not possible. It therefore cannot be ruled out that erotic, pornographic, illegal, extreme right or left wing material or other content which infringes Swiss or international law could be supplied. When accepting media into the media monitoring programme, ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG makes every effort to allow for this problem where possible.

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG shall be entitled at its own discretion to remove any media from the media monitoring programme (online monitoring) at any time in order to avoid or end actual or potential legal disputes, in particular over copyrights, other intellectual property rights or personality and data protection rights.

5.2. Customer guarantee and liability

The Customer shall provide ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG with truthful information in all business contacts.

The Customer shall be liable to ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG for all damages caused by the infringement of its contractual and/or non-contractual responsibilities and obligations.

The right to assert compensation claims shall be reserved.

6. Default of Payment

If a Customer falls behind with a payment, after an appropriate reminder it falls into arrears and owes ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG the legal default interest of 5% from receipt of the reminder.

If payment is delayed, ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG can suspend the provision of the service and/or cancel the Contract without giving notice. The Customer shall be fully liable to ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG for any resulting expenses and damage (including loss of profit).

The Customer cannot offset receivables from ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG against debts to ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG.

7. Data Protection, Data Disclosure and Data Backup

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG shall be authorised to process personal data in relation with the conclusion and the implementation of the Contract. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG may in particular forward Customer data to selected third parties in Switzerland and abroad and compare records with third parties for the purposes of invoicing and collection and in order to provide the contractual services. Moreover, ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG may transfer personal data to third parties that ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG has engaged in relation to the performance of the service or which deal with data security and the resolution of faults within the systems of ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG or third parties’ systems used by ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG.

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG shall endeavour to take the necessary technical and organisational measures to ensure compliance with data protection law. Data security of course also depends on the Customers’ behaviour. In particular when using the internet, the following data protection risks exist for Customers: For example, emails sent without encryption can be read and modified by third parties. Under some circumstances, third parties can find out user names and passwords. Encrypting data improves the confidentiality and reliability of information.

Furthermore, the provisions in Annex II, clause 5 apply in relation to the use of ARGUSavenue.

8. Confidentiality and System-Immanent Risks

The parties shall treat all information as confidential, providing it is not generally known or accessible. In case of doubt, information shall be treated as confidential. This duty of confidentiality applies even before the Contract is concluded and continues to apply after the termination of the Contract.

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG endeavours to check electronic data transmissions according to the most recent state-of-the-art technology for any viruses or similar. However, a 100% protection from such dangers even when taking the necessary care cannot be guaranteed. The attention of the ordering party is expressly drawn to a remaining residual risk.

9. Term of Contract and Termination

9.2.1 Ordinary Termination

The notice periods for indefinite contracts are set out in Annexes I-III.

Fixed-term contracts may not be terminated prematurely. If the Customer continues to use the services provided by ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG after the fixed term has expired, the Contract will continue as a contract for an indefinite period and this clause 9.2 shall apply.

If any minimum contract term has not yet expired on the date when the Contract is cancelled by the Customer, the Customer shall owe ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG the costs incurred up to the expiry of the minimum contract term and the reimbursement of all additional costs and expenses.

10.2. Severability Clause

If, because of separate contracts, individual provisions of these Terms and Conditions become ineffective or shall otherwise prove invalid, ineffective or unrealisable, this shall not affect the legal validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions. The invalid, ineffective or unrealisable provision shall be replaced by a valid, effective of realisable provision that comes closest to the economic purpose pursued by the invalid, ineffective or unrealisable provision.

10.3. Form Requirement

Subsidiary agreements, assurances and other agreements and amendments and supplements to these General Terms and Conditions and their Annexes as well as to the written Contract and/or the order confirmation signed by ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG (see clause 3 above) require to be made in writing to become effective. Divergent Customer-specific conditions shall only apply if they have been approved by ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG in writing. This also applies to future adjustments to the services provided by ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG.

For the amendment of the Language Services by the Customer, email and fax also fulfil the written form requirement for ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG’s approval.

The contractual relationship between the Customer and ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG, including these Terms and Conditions and its Annexes I-III, shall be governed by Swiss law, to the exclusion of the conflict of laws provisions.

This excludes cases in which foreign licence holders demand direct contact or a separate agreement between the client and the licence holder.

3. No Guarantee for Completeness

On a daily basis, ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG searches for topics in millions of newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations as well as websites and social media posts. However, absolute perfection is not possible. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG cannot guarantee completeness or a certain success rate of the media monitoring.

If the Customer does not wish to pay such third-party costs, the Customer has the right to terminate the Contract with ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG by way of ordinary termination in accordance with the contractual requirements or to exclude media of this kind from the media monitoring programme. If the Customer does not do so, these fees will be passed on from the date on which the service starts.

6. Radio/TV Copies

The copies of radio and TV broadcasts ordered by the Customer are produced especially for the Customer’s purposes and can therefore not be exchanged. The broadcast copies are archive copies and as a result are not of studio quality.

We can provide our clients with a mobile app that they can download to their mobile device if they are authorised employees of a client. When you download the app, the body responsible for the relevant app store will process data relating to you and your device. We have no control over this data collection. The app store processes this data under its own responsibility and in accordance with its own privacy policy.

During the registration process and when using the app, we process the data made available to us in doing so (e.g. your full name and email address) in order to execute the contract with our client (generally your employer). When you use the app, we collect certain other pieces of data in order to offer you our app’s functions and ensure that these are stable and secure. This data (e.g. the individual IMEI number of your mobile device or the specific page requested within the app) is a technical requirement. We process this in the legitimate interest of providing the app and executing our contract with our client.

Furthermore, in our legitimate interest we use technologies to evaluate use of the app, optimise our content, and combat fraud and security risks. To this end, we collect and process data about your interaction with the app (e.g. search queries, pages accessed and session duration) as well as technical data (e.g. device information such as the operating system, app version and your IP address).

We use Google Analytics for Firebase, an analytics service provided by Google, to analyse your behaviour when using our app for the aforementioned purposes. To do so, Google uses cookies and similar technologies (e.g. the app instance ID, a number that is randomly generated when the app is installed) to collect various pieces of information such as how often you open our app.

We have configured the service in such a way that the IP addresses of visitors to Google’s websites within Europe will be shortened before being sent to the USA, and thus cannot be tracked. Google provides us with reports and can in this sense be considered to be processing our order, but Google also processes the data collected for its own purposes. The data collected may enable Google to draw conclusions regarding the identity of website visitors and thus create personal profiles and link the data acquired with any existing Google accounts for the people in question. Information on safeguarding your data with Google Analytics can be found here, and if you already have a Google account further information is available here.

You can deactivate the cookies and similar technologies used for Google Analytics for Firebase by using the following link to download and install the opt-out browser add-on: Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

5. User responsibilities and obligations regarding the app

By registering on and/or using the app, the user assures ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG that they have been authorised by the client to use the app, and have been informed by the client about and are aware of the permitted internal use of these services in accordance with the contract concluded between ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG and the relevant client. The user undertakes to use the app and its content solely in Switzerland for internal information documentation purposes as part of their professional activities, and not to use either the app or its content in any manner not expressly permitted by these terms and conditions or by the contract concluded between ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG and the client.

The user may not make any changes to the app or commission any such changes from third parties. The user is also not permitted to give, sell or license any part of the app or its content, otherwise commercially exploit the app or its content or commission their commercial exploitation, or transfer rights in the app to third parties. The user in particular undertakes to refrain from reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG and its licensors remain the owners of all copies of software applications, even after installation on the user’s devices. Legal powers remain unaffected.

The user is responsible for ensuring that their user ID and password are not accessible or communicated to third parties. The user must protect their mobile devices and data from unauthorised access and manipulations by third parties.

6. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG rights and services

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG provides the app to the user ‘as is’. The usability of the app may be restricted or suspended as a result of maintenance work, internet-related malfunctions or other circumstances. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG is entitled but not obliged to inform the user of this. In its relationship with the user, ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG has no duty or obligation to undertake maintenance or upkeep measures.

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG may entrust the provision of services to third parties. The user acknowledges and accepts that unprocessed searches of content are performed by a machine, and that ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG has no control over the content. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG cannot therefore exclude the possibility of the user being confronted with pornographic, immortal, extreme right-wing or extreme left-wing content, or content that would otherwise violate Swiss or international law.

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG is entitled to alter, expand, reduce, or withdraw the app or individual functions at any time. The user has no right to full or partial use of the app. This includes continuous availability of the app.

Furthermore, ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG is entitled at its own discretion to remove individual media from the app at any time in order to avoid or end actual or potential legal disputes, in particular relating to copyright, other intellectual property rights, or personal and privacy rights.

7. Trademark rights

All trademarks, trade names, logos, domain names, and other distinguishing attributes of ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG and its licensors are the sole property of ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG and its licensors. These terms and conditions do not grant the user the right to use the aforementioned attributes.

8. Third-party rights to media content

Third parties hold copyright to the media content supplied and made accessible via the app by ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG. This also applies to online documents for which ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG provides links to their sources within the app. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG expressly stipulates that rights to documents transmitted or made available in this way (including linked online documents) are not at any time transferred to the client or user by ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG, but rather remain held by the original copyright holder (generally the creator) or the derivative copyright holder (copyright holder following transfer of rights) in accordance with national and international law.

Any rights to further use of the content provided or made available must be obtained from the relevant publisher or rights holder by the client or user if required, as ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG does not hold these rights (© of media reports). The articles provided are to be used exclusively for the purposes of in-company documentation or information for the ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG client that has awarded usage rights to the user in accordance with section 3 above, and in particular may not be published or made accessible to outsiders in any way, e.g. on a website. The media content provided may not be used to create a publicly accessible media archive, nor stored in any such archive.

Publishing analyses and/or passing on data without the permission of ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG is prohibited.

Any use of the content beyond the permitted scope may infringe the rights (and in particular the copyright) of third parties. The user is liable for their own violations of applicable copyright regulations and entirely indemnifies ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG against any such third-party claims.

9. Guarantee and liability

9.1. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG guarantee and liability

Statutory warranty is excluded. ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG cannot guarantee uninterrupted use of the app and its content, use at a specific time, or the quality of the data stored or transmitted.

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG is not responsible for the content, accuracy or topicality of external websites or other sources that users can access via links in the app. Responsibility for the content of linked websites lies with their operators.

9.2. User guarantee and liability

The user is liable to ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG for any material and immaterial damage resulting from infringement of their contractual and/or non-contractual duties and responsibilities.

The user indemnifies ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG against any liability or damages if third parties assert a claim against ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG as a result of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights or of non-contractual or unlawful use of the app and its content, or if third parties hold ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS Schweiz AG, its bodies and/or its employees responsible or pursue them under criminal, civil or administrative law.

Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending, settling or discharging third-party claims under which the app and/or the user’s ownership and use of the app infringes the intellectual property rights of said third party. The user agrees to respect applicable third-party regulations whilst using the service. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and conditions, and upon the user’s acceptance of these terms and conditions, Apple is granted the right (and will be presumed to have adopted this right) to apply these terms and conditions to the user as a third-party beneficiary of this contract. The user hereby attests and affirms that (1) the user is not resident in a country subject to an embargo by the US government or a country classified as a ‘state sponsor of terrorism’ by the US government, and that (2) the user does not appear on a banned or restriction list operated by the US government.
