3 RENTAL CONTRACTS FOR HARDWARE (sensors)

3.1 Rental Agreement Categories

For the automated collection of data at trade fairs and events, EXPOCLOUD offers THE CUSTOMER WIFI sensors for rent. The CUSTOMER can install them at the site (fair or event). Depending on the equipment of the sensors, they communicate with the EXPOCLOUD platform via a mobile phone or network connection and generate automated measurement data there.

We offer our sensor rental in two categories: (1) event rental and (2) period rental. Different rental categories are subject to different conditions. These are described in this section. Unless otherwise agreed in an order, the products fall under the following categories:

(1) Event rental: Sensors can be rented for a single event. To order a single-time rental sensor, a valid software subscription event metrics free, event metrics starter, event metrics professional or event metrics enterprise is required.       

(2) Period rental: Sensors can be rented for a period of time. In this case, the customer can manage the sensors themselves and assign events. To order a period-rental sensor, a valid Software Subscription Event Metrics Starter, Event-Metrics Professional, or Event-Metrics Enterprise is required.   

 

 

3.2 Deployment of sensors

(1) EXPOCLOUD provides the CUSTOMER with the desired quantity and configuration of sensors on order.            

(2) EXPOCLOUD delivers the desired quantity of sensors to the CUSTOMER after the corresponding written order or via the online order form by the CUSTOMER. However, delivery and provision of services is always subject to availability. EXPOCLOUD is not liable for the unavailability of sensors and the resulting delays, loss of profit and damage to the CUSTOMER.        

(3) The delivery of the rental goods takes place at the risk of EXPOCLOUD to the specified place of delivery. The costs of delivery of the rental item (shipping costs) shall be borne by the CUSTOMER.              

(4) The hardware shall be provided in English, including a quick-start guide to the instructions for setting up and connecting it. Instruction and training are not due on the part of EXPOCLOUD.     

 

 

3.3 Commissioning of the sensors

(1) With regard to the provision of the sensors, the CUSTOMER confirms with the commissioning of the sensors that these were handed over in accordance with the contract and without defects. The CUSTOMER must therefore check the supplied sensors for functionality immediately after delivery.        

(2) The CUSTOMER shall ensure that the hardware has access to the Internet. If there is no internet connection at the installation site, e.g. due to insufficient network coverage, the data in the sensor is recorded encrypted instead of being transmitted directly to the EXPOCLOUD platform via the Internet. Due to the lack of an internet connection, the usual automatic monitoring of the devices is no longer necessary. After the closing of the registration period (e.g. end of a trade fair or event), the collected data can be transmitted to the EXPOCLOUD platform. To do this, the sensor on which the data is stored offline must be connected to a local network (automatic IP assignment (DHCP) with Internet access by means of a network cable, or power in a place with network coverage.           

(3) The distribution (assembly, assembly, etc.) of the individual sensors, if necessary. also to end customers of the CUSTOMER and their parameterization in the EXPOCLOUD platform is carried out by the CUSTOMER itself. EXPOCLOUD is therefore not responsible for the effective interaction in the evaluation of the data generated by these sensors.

(2) EXPOCLOUD also reserves the right to update the sensors via remote software update as required. Unless, for example, due to security risks, there is a risk of delay in updating the sensors, EXPOCLOUD will announce the updates 5 days in advance and carry out them outside business hours. Unless the sensors are connected by mobile phone, the parties will agree separately on the implementation of necessary updates. If an update is not possible within 5 days and the CUSTOMER is responsible for this and malfunctions result from it, EXPOCLOUD is not liable. 

(3) The CUSTOMER shall allow EXPOCLOUD or third parties commissioned by this to maintain the hardware in their premises or oblige its customers in such a way that EXPOCLOUD can also perform these maintenance services at the place where the hardware is used.              

 

 

3.5 Use of sensors

(2) It is the task of the CUSTOMER or its end customers to inform visitors of the area in which sensors are used in an appropriate manner about the use of the sensors. Visitors to the relevant area must be able to avoid detection by the sensors by giving them instructions on how to deactivate the WLANfunction of their mobile device.

(3) The CUSTOMER must observe the installation and operating conditions of the sensors as they arise from the operating instructions and documentation.
