Terms of Use

0. Language versions

These Terms of Use are drafted in German. Translations are provided for information only. The German version alone governs the legal effects.

1. Provider and scope

1.1 Provider. The website ezto.io is provided by EZTO TECHNOLOGIES GmbH, Am Brand 41, 55116 Mainz, Germany, registered in the commercial register of the Local Court (Amtsgericht) Mainz under HRB 54349 ("EZTO", "we"). Further details are set out in the Imprint at ezto.io/en/legal/imprint. Please direct data protection enquiries to dpo@ezto.io and legally relevant notices to legal@ezto.io.

1.2 Scope. These Terms of Use govern the use of the publicly accessible website ezto.io, including all sub-pages, contact forms and content made available for retrieval (the "Website").

1.3 Services not governed. EZTO's consulting, development, DevOps, cloud and other services are not the subject of these Terms of Use. They are provided exclusively on the basis of individual agreements (offer, framework agreement, service description, statement of work, data processing agreement). Use of the Zentre AI SaaS platform is governed by the terms and conditions at zentre.ai/legal/terms.

1.4 B2B orientation. Our services are directed exclusively at entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), legal entities under public law and special funds under public law. Consumers may use the Website for information purposes; we do not conclude service contracts with consumers.

1.5 Precedence of individual agreements. Individually agreed terms take precedence over these Terms of Use. General terms and conditions of users or customers do not apply unless EZTO has expressly agreed to them in text form.

2. Use of the Website

2.1 Information offering. The Website provides information about EZTO, its services, references and the Zentre AI platform, and offers contact options. The content is non-binding and does not constitute an offer within the meaning of Section 145 BGB. We endeavour to keep the content accurate and up to date but give no warranty in this respect; information on services, prices and availability becomes binding only through an individual agreement.

2.2 Rights in content. All content of the Website – in particular texts, graphics, images, videos, trademarks, logos, software and layout – is protected by copyright, trademark or competition law. Any use beyond technically necessary retrieval, in particular reproduction, editing, distribution or making available to the public, requires our prior consent in text form unless permitted by law. Third-party trademarks and logos remain the property of their respective owners.

2.3 Links. The Website may contain links to third-party websites. We have no influence over their content; the respective provider alone is responsible for it. No legal violations were apparent at the time of linking. If we become aware of legal violations, we will remove the link concerned without undue delay.

2.4 Availability. EZTO does not owe any particular availability of the Website. Maintenance work, security updates or disruptions may lead to temporary restrictions. We are entitled to change or discontinue content and functions of the Website at any time.

2.5 Permitted use. The Website may be used only within the applicable laws and these Terms of Use. The following in particular are prohibited: (a) automated mass retrieval of content (scraping, crawling) beyond indexing by search engines, (b) interference with the functionality or security of the Website, (c) introducing malicious code, (d) circumventing protective mechanisms such as the bot protection of our forms, and (e) submitting unlawful content via contact forms. We reserve the right of use of the content for text and data mining pursuant to Sec. 44b(3) of the German Copyright Act (UrhG).

2.6 Contact forms and enquiries. Users who send us a business enquiry via the Website warrant that their details are accurate. The processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy (Section 4).

3. Liability

3.1 For the free-of-charge provision of the Website, EZTO is liable without limitation only in cases of intent and gross negligence, culpable injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act, and to the extent of a guarantee assumed.

3.2 In the event of a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment is essential for proper use and on whose observance the user may regularly rely), liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded.

3.3 Subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, EZTO gives no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness or currency of the information provided on the Website and accepts no responsibility for the content of linked third-party websites.

3.4 The above limitations also apply to the personal liability of EZTO's corporate bodies, employees and agents.

4. Data protection

Information on the processing of personal data when using the Website – including server log files, cookies, contact forms and your rights as a data subject – is set out in our Privacy Policy at ezto.io/en/legal/privacy (also available via the "Privacy" link in the footer of every page).

5. Final provisions

5.1 Governing law. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of their habitual residence.

5.2 Place of jurisdiction. If the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, or if the user has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the use of the Website is Mainz, Germany. EZTO remains entitled to bring an action against the user at the user's general place of jurisdiction.

5.3 Severability. Should individual provisions of these Terms of Use be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

5.4 Changes. EZTO may amend these Terms of Use with effect for the future. The version published on the Website applies; the date of the last change is stated at the beginning of the document.
