We, the authorised individuals and employees of max.recall information systems GmbH, offer you via our Web sites www.max-recall.com and www.smartcoder.at (hereinafter “Websites”) innovative and, in this form, unique online services. www.smartcoder.at provides you with a service for automatic coding of free-text answers in text surveys. It performs an intelligent content analysis process of the free-text answers and automatically generates an accurate code table and assigns appropriate codes to free-text statements. We welcome the opportunity to be allowed to persuade you of the benefits of our services.
These terms and consequently the TOS constitute an integral part of all contractual relationships between max.recall information systems GmbH (hereinafter “max.recall”) on the one hand and the User of the Website www.max-recall.com and the Website www.smartcoder.at on the other. Any terms and conditions of business of the User are expressly rejected. The most recent version of the TOS shall apply to all future transactions between the contractual parties, even if they are not referred to again in a future contract.
By registering, the User consents to the scope of these TOS and any agreements incorporated therein by reference.
Neither the registration nor the use of SMARTCODER shall be possible without explicit consent to these TOS.
These TOS shall be valid until cancelled in the currently valid version as of Feb 17th, 2020.
Solely the German version of these TOS is binding.
max.recall provides the User with an information system via the www.max-recall.com and www.smartcoder.at Websites. The information systems provided by max.recall (hereinafter the “System” or the “Systems”) enable the computer-assisted capturing, storage, processing, analysis, utilisation, arrangement, transfer and display of information and data.
The system on www.smartcoder.at provides a service (hereinafter “SMARTCODER”) for the automatic coding of free-text answers in text surveys. SMARTCODER performs an intelligent content analysis process of the free-text answers and automatically generates an accurate code table and assigns appropriate codes to free-text statements. All this is completed in just a couple of seconds. Additionally, a CodeCloud that visually summarizes the survey is provided.
How it works:
To take advantage of the functionalities of SMARTCODER, you do not need to download or install any software on your computer.
Any services which are not expressly listed as being performed by max.recall in the TOS or which may not be expected without any doubt to be supplied together with the provided services are considered to be excluded from the scope of supply in the event of doubt. Should any such services be provided, max.recall is entitled to suitable consideration.
In order to be able to use SMARTCODER, a one-time, free registration is required. max.recall offers Users two options of registering for SMARTCODER:
By registering, the User confirms its knowledge and the unlimited recognition of the content of these TOS.
Each User shall register with SMARTCODER once only, and confirms with the registration that it has not registered an account with SMARTCODER before.
max.recall reserves the right to reject Users without giving reasons. In this event, any transmitted details will be deleted promptly.
max.recall endeavours to provide the User with access to the projects as long as possible. However, the User - irrespective of the fact the max.recall is entitled to cease operation of the Website - acknowledges that max.recall is entitled to block access to the User account and to delete associated projects after three months, if (i) the User has terminated the contract or (ii) the User fails to pay the monthly subscription fee for three months.
The User must protect its account from unauthorized and fraudulent use. The user shall notify max.recall immediately by email at support@smartcoder.at of any unauthorized or fraudulent use of its account, or if the User suspects that its account may be at risk.
max.recall will not refund any amounts paid by the User to max.recall before the User report an unauthorized or fraudulent use of its account.
max.recall has the right to close or cancel the account of any User in the event of any unauthorized or fraudulent use of the account.
Promotions and Free Offers: max.recall may run promotions and free offers, which may be subject to additional terms or restrictions. These promotions and offers may not be transferred between users.
Subscription Requirement: In order to use SMARTCODER, the User must (i) be a registered user of SMARTCODER, and (ii) pay the stipulated price, including applicable VAT, if any, and any other fees or amounts associated with the subscription, by credit card or any other form of payment accepted by max.recall (the “Subscription”). If the User is not a registered user of SMARTCODER, the User must register before you can execute the Subscription.
Plans and Fees of Subscriptions: max.recall offers customized plans so that the User can choose the one that best satisfies its needs. The different Subscription plans and applicable fees are available at www.smartcoder.at. To this end, max.recall will provide customized quotes to the User.
Fee: Payment is made in advance for each subscription period. In other words, the User opts in for the subscription plan that best satisfies his or her needs. Once the User has signed up and paid for the Subscription, the selected plan will be associated with his or her account.
Due: Payments for the entire term of the User's Subscription shall be due immediately upon invoicing. Payment can be made using different payment methods (e.g., PayPal, bank transfer, etc.). If max.recall does not receive the subscription fee, the user shall bear all costs arising therefrom, including bank charges related to any debit entries or similar charges. max.recall may deliver invoices and payment reminders to the user by email.
Automatic Renewal: When a Subscription period expires, the User's will receive an invoice he or she shall settle immediately. The agreed subscription fee will be charged, i.e., special offer prices do not apply in this case, and the User's Subscription will be renewed for the same period of time unless the User cancel's its Subscription, at least prior to the expiration of the current Subscription.
Account deactivation: If a payment is not received, max.recall is entitled to deactivate the User account until further notice.
Refunds: It is not possible to refund any payments even if the service paid for has not been used.
Support: By paying the monthly subscription fee in advance, the User is entitled to use the max.recall e-mail support service with which max.recall will provide the User with technical support with respect to using SMARTCODER no later than three business days following a request by e-mail. However, this support service is not charged for by max.recall, with the result that the User has no right to it so that if the requested support is not provided or the support service ceases to be offered, the User is not entitled to make any legal claims.
The User is solely responsible for all content and data such as graphics, text, audio or video files or software which they make available, exchange or published via the Websites and is therefore liable to max.recall for any loss or damage which may result from such content. The User guarantees and vouches that:
max.recall is entitled at its own discretion to delete any content which max.recall considers being contrary to the essence of the contract or policies of max.recall, or which pose a legal or practical risk to max.recall. In this instance, max.recall is also entitled at its own discretion, to block access to and the use of the Websites or their individual functions. In this instance, max.recall is not obliged to refund the payment for the services received.
It is not possible for max.recall to check all the content and data or software provided on the Websites with regard to their content and technical state and it therefore accepts no liability for its use. The operation of the Websites does not mean that max.recall endorses or supports the retrievable content, considers it to be useful or risk-free, has checked the available content and data for accuracy, technical inaccuracies, or typographical or any other errors, or whether the content contravenes any legislative provisions, or whether downloading, copying or using the data or content may violate the intellectual property rights or any other rights of third parties. The user is solely responsible for undertaking all measures necessary to protect their IT system against viruses, worms or Trojans, or any other content potentially harmful to or likely to damage the data. Freedom from viruses is therefore not part of the stipulated subject matter of the contract so that max.recall is in no way liable for this. max.recall therefore does not accept any liability for damage or loss which may be incurred when visiting the Websites or downloading content from the Websites.
It is not possible for max.recall to comprehensively check all the content, including software, available on the Websites and linked sites, nor the links themselves. max.recall has no influence over any sites which it does not operate itself and is therefore not responsible for their content or use. The existence of a link does not mean that max.recall represents the content of the linked site. The user is solely responsible for undertaking all measures necessary to protect their IT system against viruses, worms or Trojans, or any other content potentially harmful to or likely to damage the data. max.recall waives all liability for any damage incurred by using linked sites.
Notwithstanding that max.recall is essentially not liable for the availability of the Websites and the uninterrupted access to the Systems provided and the use of any other services, max.recall is entitled to limit the Systems and services or add new services or functions to the Websites. Such new services or functions are also subject to these TOS. The Websites and Systems are essentially available to the User 24 hours a day. However, max.recall is entitled to cease operation of the Website without cause. In doing so, max.recall is neither liable for the uninterrupted use of the Systems or the uninterrupted availability of Services, nor the guaranteed future use of the Systems and the availability of Services. max.recall is therefore not liable for any damage or loss which may result from the Systems or services being unusable.
The Systems, content and information provided to the User are prepared with the utmost care. However, max.recall, its licence provider and other contractual partners do not accept any liability, guarantee or warranty for the accuracy, completeness or currentness of the Websites, the Systems, content and other services, their suitability for a specific use or their continuously uninterrupted availability. The User uses the Systems, downloads content, receives information and uses the Websites at their own risk. In particular, max.recall accepts no liability for the fact that the provided Services are sufficient for the requirements of the User or yield the desired economic outcome for the User. The User is therefore solely responsible for all output and results received from the Systems, services and content provided by max.recall. max.recall also waives all liability for any loss or damages which the User may incur as a result of concluding or not concluding a business transaction on the basis of the Systems and services provided by max.recall. The User has no right to be provided with information about the sources of information and the processing of the data.
Insofar as liability is not generally excluded, max.recall is only liable in the event of intentional actions or omissions or extreme gross negligence - in the consumer business in the event of intentional actions or omissions or gross negligence - and only in the event of a breach of reasonable control obligations. The liability sum of max.recall is in any event limited to the payment that has been made to max.recall by the User within the previous 12 months from the enforceability of a claim against max.recall.
max.recall is not liable for any direct or indirect consequential losses, lost profit, declarative damages or financial damages or the costs of replacement good or services which may arise from the use of the Websites, Systems and services or from the loss and/or manipulation of data or the misuse or loss of any transmitted access data.
The User declares and guarantees that (i) the Websites are used strictly in accordance with these TOS, the data protection policy and any other applicable legal provisions (including any regional regulations of the state, federal state, city, municipality or administrative region or district in which the User is registered or from which the User uses the Websites), in particular but not restricted to any which standardise online codes of conduct or the transmission of data from Austria to the country in which the User is registered and that (ii) the use of the Websites does not infringe upon or violate the intellectual property rights of third parties.
The User is also obliged to refrain from using any software, technical devices or data which may lead to changes in the Systems, the content of the database or the Websites. Should the user breach any legal regulations by or with respect to using the Websites or any of the Systems or content available thereon, they shall indemnify max.recall against any resulting claims of third parties.
Neither the conclusion of this contract nor use of the Websites constitutes a transfer of intellectual property rights from max.recall to third parties or the User. All intellectual property rights remain the exclusive intellectual and real property of max.recall with respect to third parties and any licensers.
In particular, the name max.recall, the max.recall logo, the name SMARTCODER, the SMARTCODER logo and all graphics and any other logos connected to the services provided on the Websites, the Websites themselves and any documentation and organisation of the Systems are subject to protection under company law, copyright, competition law and/or trademark law, and are the intellectual and real property of max.recall or third parties, so that using the Websites does not grant the User any rights or licenses. The User is prohibited from entering any requested and respectively analysed data, content or information in other public systems. The User must refrain from anything which may allow them or third parties to simulate the Systems and their contents.
To prevent the breach of any intellectual property rights of third parties, max.recall recommends that the User informs max.recall immediately the User is of the opinion that the content of the Websites or the content of linked websites has breached their intellectual property rights. max.recall shall investigate the alleged breach and respond to any queries with respect to the intellectual property rights of the User, and remove any content or links to web pages which make such material available. In the event that the User infringes the intellectual property rights of max.recall or a third party, or there is a risk of this occurring, max.recall is entitled to delete or block access to the Websites. In this event, max.recall is not obliged to refund any payment already received.
max.recall reserves the right to amend these TOS from time to time for a number of reasons including, without limitation, for commercial reasons, to comply with applicable law or regulations, or for customer service-reasons. At any time, the then-current version of these TOS is available at www.smartcoder.at.
Changes to these TOS, require the consent of the respective user. If max.recall intends to implement such changes to these TOS, max.recall will give the User as much prior notice of such changes as possible. Such notice shall be made (i) via email to the email address the User previously supplied, (ii) on the relevant pages of www.smartcoder.at. Any such modifications will take effect within thirty days of publication.
In the event that the User does not consent to the changed TOS, it shall not be permitted to any further use of SMARTCODER.
Following amendment of the TOS, the continued use of SMARTCODER following the notification or, as the case may be, expiration of such thirty days-period, by any registered User shall be deemed User's consent to the amended TOS.
Any changes to these TOS must be made in writing. No ancillary oral arrangements exist.
max.recall is entitled to terminate the contract and thereby the access of the User to the content and services of the Websites with immediate effect without notification or justification and therefore block the online access of the User. max.recall is not obliged to give notice of the termination of access. The User may terminate the contract by written notice to support@smartcoder.at. The contract is thus terminated after expiration of the current subscription period.
In any case, the contract shall be considered terminated insofar as max.recall completely discontinues the Websites, which max.recall is entitled to do. All contractual provisions, which according to their purpose are to remain effective following termination of the contract, including but not limited to provisions regarding intellectual property rights, liability limitations or confidentiality clauses, shall remain effective following termination of the contract.
This contract contains all agreements made between max.recall and the User. Amendments to this contract require the written form or the publication of an amended version of the TOS by max.recall and subsequent use of the Websites by the User to be legally effective.
The User agrees that the data they provide may be processed electronically, in particular for billing purposes. The User also agrees that max.recall may inform the User by telephone, fax or e-mail at appropriate intervals about max.recall products and services. This agreement may be revoked at any time.
The user expressly agrees to receive an electronic invoice only for the services used.
The User is obliged to comply with the provisions of the data privacy laws and shall indemnify max.recall against any resulting claims in this regard. On concluding the contract, the User also agrees to be legally entitled to receive the transmitted data and to have an overriding legitimate interest in the use of the data in the sense of § 8 clause 1 No. 4 DSG 2000 (Data Protection Act). In the event that claims are asserted against the User on the basis of the DSG, the User is obliged to make max.recall aware of the person making this claim and the basis upon which the claim is being made. max.recall accepts no liability for any damages or losses if access to stored data is denied on the basis of legal or other provisions.
The User must also make suitable provisions to protect and secure the transmitted data against unauthorised access by its own employees and third parties. In particular, the User must ensure that the data is treated as confidential by employees, even once the employment relationship has been terminated. The User is liable to max.recall for any damages or loss arising from the breach of provisions with respect to data protection.
The contractual parties are obliged to treat as confidential all information provided to them in connection with the preparation and performance of their business relationship which is not generally known and with regard to which the other contractual partner has an interest in confidentiality (in particular, trade and commercial secrets and customer data) even once the business relationship has ended. The contractual parties shall ensure that their employees and any assistants also comply with the level of confidentiality required.
The User is liable to max.recall for any damages or loss arising from the breach of the above provisions by them or third parties to which the data have been passed.
A customer may cancel any contract or declaration of agreement concluded as part of a distance selling process within 7 business days from the day on which the agreement was concluded (service agreements), whereby Saturday is not considered to be a business day. It is sufficient for the cancellation to be sent within the specified period. The consumer has no cancellation rights with regard to agreements for services which the consumer has begun to make use of as per the agreement within 7 business days of the agreement being concluded.
The contractual relationship between the User and max.recall is subject to Austrian law with the exception of the UN purchasing law and without recourse to referral to the law of a third country. Any disputes arising between the User and max.recall as a result of this contractual relationship - including any with regard to its existence or non-existence - shall be, insofar as they are legally permissible, the responsibility of the respective court in Vienna competent for the matter concerned.
In the event of individual provisions of this contract becoming ineffective due to legislative regulation, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The ineffective provision or identified contractual loophole shall be replaced by a suitable provision which shall provide the commercial aims originally intended by the parties.
