GfK GeoMarketing, as licenser of the software and data contained on this data carrier, only transfers non-exclusive licenses to you, or to the purchaser of this package that you represent, the ("licensee"), subject to the provisos of this license. If a third party is selling the data carrier it can only pass on licenses to the purchaser within the scope of this license. The license cannot be extended through assurances by the seller. If the license terms do not meet the arrangements made at the time of the sale, the agreement has possibly not been correctly fulfilled by the seller.

Only GfK GeoMarketing itself is entitled to make deviating provisions for the license issued.

A) General license regulations for countries outside of the United States

§ 1
 For the specific scope of the license granted, the specifications on the order/confirmation of the license or on any other license certificate at GfK GeoMarketing shall apply. If an intended purpose for the data has been individually specified therein, utilization shall only be permissible for this purpose. If a computer program has been specified therein with which the data is intended to be used, or if the data is jointly licensed with a computer program, use shall only be permitted with this program. In this case, it shall not be permitted to read out raw data, which is not provided for by this program under its intended operation, and to bypass the protection against making direct copies of the vector graphics displayed. In the event of doubts, the scope of the license of the IN-HOUSE LICENSE shall apply in accordance with article 7 of these license regulations.

§ 2 Unless specifically agreed or if the license is defined as a SINGLE-USER license, the license shall apply to one user - i.e., for the use of the software or data at the workplace of one person. Workplace is a user's computer (PC) or a terminal or an environment of a user (user account) restricted by the operating software on one computer. If several people can duly access the workplace, a license shall be required for each user who works with the program. This shall equally apply even if the users do not work simultaneously with the data, unless one user leaves permanently or is away for several days and is replaced by another user for this period of absence or permanently. If the license is designated as a multiple license or a multiple-user license, it shall be valid for the number of users specified.

§ 3 The licensee is exceptionally entitled within the framework of the license for one work place, to make a second installation on a laptop or to work through remote access to the work place through a network, if the second installation or the remote access is solely accessible by the user as specified in § 2.

§ 4 An express, written ASP license is required to enable use through LAN, WAN or the Internet for third parties for their own purposes (ASP). This shall apply in particular to a publicly accessible installation on an internet server.

§ 5 If the product is designated as an update or upgrade, it may only be used in conjunction with an existing license. The update or upgrade license is only an extension of the existing license and only entitles utilization within its limits.

§ 6 Unless otherwise agreed, the software license applies to utilization as intended, in particular to the generation of analogue and digital materials by means of the software. A special license is required to automatically process the output of the software through its interfaces, in particular to read out the source data or to create dynamic representations. Additionally, it is not permitted to read out data that is not provided for by the software program under its intended operation, in particular reading out regional data or other raw data, in particular by bypassing the protection against direct copies of the vector graphics displayed. Furthermore, any change to or decompilation of the software - in particular, removing copyright marks, names, brands or other marks or typical company designs of GfK GeoMarketing - is prohibited. The right to configure and ensure the interoperability of computer programs produced independently in accordance with article 69e of the UrhG (German Copyright Act) and the right to test in accordance with article 69d paragraph 3 of the UrhG (German Copyright Act) remains unaffected herefrom. The licenser must be informed before any measures to enable utilization as intended are executed. If reasonable, the licensee undertakes to carry out the measures suggested by the licenser, including the use of a patch or update provided by the licenser. With regard to the data transferred, the licensee is entitled to process the data in the framework of articles 2 and 3 and the following provisions to create his/her own documents using said data and his/her additional own data, texts or other contents. In direct connection with the maps created using the licenser's map data, the attribution "Map basis: GfK GeoMarketing" is to be added to these documents and in direct connection with maps, diagrams, etc. generated with the licenser's data, the attribution "Data basis: GfK GeoMarketing" is to be added if this is not already present in the graphics created.
The modification or other use relevant to copyright (especially duplication, distribution, public accessibility) of the basic data beyond the standard use to create own documents, especially the conversion of the licensed data into other formats and removing intellectual property rights or copyright marks, names, brands or other marks or typical company designs of GfK GeoMarketing beyond the scope of the following specified licenses, is prohibited.

§ 7 IN-HOUSE license
 If the license purchased is designated as "IN-HOUSE license" or if nothing more specific has been determined, it applies for the use of the licensee's own documents generated in line with article 6, that said own documents may only be duplicated for internal company purposes and only made accessible in-house. Any further distribution or making the documents generated publicly accessible - in particular passing them on to third parties, commercial marketing or publication in magazines, books or any other form and as one's own work - requires a special license.
 Documents which contain a major part of the data transferred in terms of type and scope - may only be duplicated or made accessible through an internal network beyond the work place in a way which does not enable the licensed basic data of the graphics or images generated, in particular of vector data, to be read out.

§ 8 CONSULTANT license
 A consultant license can be purchased as a special license to be directly agreed with the licenser or purchased in addition to an existing license. A consultant license entitles the licensee beyond the provisions of article 7 to pass on documents, which the licensee has generated on the basis of a specific order (project) and to make said documents accessible to clients for the agreed term of the consultant license. Unless otherwise agreed, the term of the consultant license shall be 12 months after it has been ordered. This shall apply to documents that contain a major part of the data transferred in terms of type and scope in a form in which the licensed basic data (raw data) of the graphics or representations created - especially, the vector data - cannot be read out. For special projects, a greater number of clients can be agreed upon.
 The clients may be granted the right to duplicate or make the documents generated accessible for internal purposes, but not to process the documents, distribute them further or make them publicly accessible.
 The license certificate shall list the projects to which the license refers or their number. If a license code has not yet been allocated to each project in the license certificate, GfK GeoMarketing can demand that the client subsequently allocates a project to each license code granted and - on submitting a document it has produced - allocates said document to the respective project.
 Furthermore, the provisions of articles 6 and 7 must apply.

§ 9 The "PUBLISHING license" entitles the licensee beyond the provisions of article 7 to publish own documents generated from the licensed data within the framework agreed - i.e., to distribute said documents and make them publicly accessible. This shall apply to documents that contain the major part of the data transferred in terms of type and scope in a form in which the licensed basic data (raw data) of the graphics or depictions created - especially, vector data - cannot be read out. In the framework of this license a third party may also be granted the right to publish documents generated by the licensee. The third party cannot however be granted the right to change the documents, with the exception of typical editorial interventions. Furthermore, the provisions of articles 6 and 7 shall apply.

§10 If a subscription agreement is concluded to use the license, its term shall be until it is terminated, with a period of notice of three months to the end of a year, but at least 36 months. The subscription shall include supply of the updates that are issued during the term (an average of a maximum of 1 a year). Unless otherwise agreed, the price for the subscription as of the first delivery shall be 50% of the new price specified in the price list of GfK GeoMarketing that applies at the time of shipment. The price for the subscription shall be due annually and for the first time when the order is placed. The dates of subsequent invoicing and deliveries may differ.

§ 11 If a third party offers the software or data, possibly as a package with its own software or data, it may only procure valid licenses to the data on the basis of a SALES or OEM license subject to a special license certificate or a written license agreement.

§ 12 A third party may only offer the software or data for interactive use after having obtained an ASP license subject to a special license certificate or a written license agreement.

§ 13 If a third party processes the software or data to form an independent product, effective licenses for this product may only be procured on the basis of a special written PRODUCTION license issued by GfK GeoMarketing.

§ 14 In the framework of the authorized usage, the licensee is entitled to make necessary copies. This applies in particular to the standard backups of the files or the system on which the software or data is installed - not, however to the keeping of the software or data on several computers for alternating use. In the event of the license being resold, all remaining copies must be deleted. In the case of integrated backups of the installed files (images) that cannot be directly executed, this only applies in the case of the executable system being restored. The backup copies may only be made internally accessible in the necessary scope.

§ 15 GfK GeoMarketing may terminate the license due to important reasons. An important reason in particular is a serious violation of the restrictions of the licenses granted, unauthorized distribution of copies of the software or making it publicly accessible or any other prohibited distribution. In this case all licenses granted shall expire.

§ 16 The license may not be transferred without prior agreement from GfK GeoMarketing. On the transfer of ownership for a license, this license - unless granted following a special agreement for specific purposes or a specific project -, shall be transferred to the purchaser in accordance with legal provisions without authorization from GfK GeoMarketing in the context of the region in which the exhaustion of the copyright law in accordance with article 69c point 3 of the German Copyright Act occurred. Any special agreements not to pass on or sell licenses shall remain unaffected. If such an agreement is violated, the transfer can be effective in terms of copyright in accordance with the information above, but can have negative consequences in terms of contract law. Leasing, borrowing, rental or timesharing requires a special license.

§ 17 The contractual relationship with the customer shall be subject to German law, excluding the UN convention on the sale of goods.  If you are a trader as defined by the German Commercial Code or act on behalf of such trader, a legal person under public law or special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for any claims in connection with the contractual relationship is Karlsruhe, Germany. We are also entitled to file suit at your general place of jurisdiction. The general terms and conditions of GfK GeoMarketing apply here.

§ 18  If the license refers to software (data) of the Tele Atlas Group that is contained in the product, the provisions printed in Supplement 1 shall apply. The marking on the data carriers, packaging and/or product description indicates if Tele Atlas BV software is contained in the licensed product.

§ 9 Confidentiality.

During the Term of this Agreement, each party ("Disclosing Party") may disclose to the other party ("Receiving Party") information which is the confidential and proprietary information of the Disclosing Party and not generally known to the public ("Confidential Information"). The RegioGraph System is Confidential Information of GfK GeoMarketing. The Customer Data is the Confidential Information of Customer. The terms of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of both parties. The Receiving Party agrees that during, and for a period of five (5) years after the Term of this Agreement it shall (a) use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information only in furtherance of its obligations under this Agreement, (b) not disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, except to employees and contractors on a "need to know" basis, in order to allow the Receiving Party to perform under this Agreement, and (c) use at least the same degree of care to protect the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than reasonably prudent care. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to bind its employees and contractors to the obligations stated in this Section 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information shall not be considered Confidential Information if the Receiving Party can document that the same compilation, selection or presentation of information: (i) has been published or is otherwise readily available to the public other than by breach of this Agreement; (ii) it has been rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party without confidentiality limitations; (iii) it was known to the Receiving Party without restriction prior to its first receipt from the Disclosing Party; or (iv) was independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party without any access or reference to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information pursuant to a court order, provided that the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in writing prior to any such disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party's efforts to oppose such court order.

GfK GeoMarketing überträgt als Lizenzgeber der Software und Daten, die sich auf diesem Datenträger befinden, nicht-ausschließliche Lizenzen an Sie oder den durch Sie vertretenen Käufer dieses Pakets (den "Lizenznehmer") gemäß den für diese Lizenz geltenden Bedingungen. Sollte der Datenträger durch einen Dritten verkauft werden, können Lizenzen nur im Rahmen dieser Lizenz auf den Käufer übertragen werden. Die Lizenz kann nicht aufgrund von Zusicherungen des Verkäufers verlängert werden. Entsprechen die Lizenzbedingungen nicht den zum Zeitpunkt des Verkaufs getroffenen Vereinbarungen, hat der Verkäufer den Vertrag wahrscheinlich nicht ordnungsgemäß erfüllt. In diesem Fall müssen Sie aufgrund dieses Mangels mit dem Verkäufer in Überstimmung mit den vertraglichen Bedingungen und gesetzlichen Bestimmungen verhandeln und gegebenenfalls vom Vertrag zurücktreten. Nur GfK GeoMarketing selbst darf abweichende Bedingungen für die erteilte Lizenz festlegen.

 

§ 1 Für den konkreten Umfang der eingeräumten Lizenz gelten die Angaben auf der Bestellung/Bestätigung der Lizenz bei GfK GeoMarketing oder sonstigen Lizenzurkunde. Ist dort ein Einsatzzweck individuell bestimmt, ist die Nutzung nur zu diesem Zweck zulässig. Ist dort für die überlassenen Daten ein Computerprogramm bestimmt, mit dem die Daten genutzt werden sollen, oder werden die Daten mit einem Computerprogramm gemeinsam lizenziert, ist die Nutzung nur mit diesem Programm zulässig. Nicht erlaubt ist in diesem Fall das von diesem Programm im bestimmungsgemäßen Betrieb nicht vorgesehene Auslesen der Rohdaten und die Umgehung des Schutzes vor Direktkopie der dargestellten Vektorgrafiken. Im Zweifel hat die Lizenz den Lizenzumfang der INHOUSE-LIZENZ nach § 7 dieser Lizenzbestimmungen.

§ 2 Ist nichts Näheres bestimmt, oder ist die Lizenz als solche für einen Benutzer bezeichnet, gilt die Lizenz für einen Benutzer, d.h. für die Nutzung der Software bzw. Daten auf dem Arbeitsplatz einer Person. Arbeitsplatz ist ein Computer (PC) oder ein Terminal oder eine von der Betriebssoftware auf einem Computer abgegrenzte Umgebung eines Benutzers (Benutzerkonto oder Account). Können mehrere Benutzer bestimmungsgemäß auf den Arbeitsplatz zugreifen, ist für jeden Benutzer, der mit dem Programm arbeitet, eine Lizenz erforderlich. Dies gilt auch, wenn die Benutzer nicht gleichzeitig mit dem Programm arbeiten, es sei denn, ein Benutzer fällt dauerhaft oder für mehrere Tage weg und wird für diese Zeit oder dauerhaft durch einen anderen Benutzer ersetzt. Ist die Lizenz als Mehrfachlizenz oder Lizenz für mehrere Benutzer bezeichnet, gilt sie für die angegebene Anzahl der Benutzer.

§ 3 Der Lizenznehmer ist im Rahmen der Lizenz für einen Arbeitsplatz ausnahmsweise berechtigt, eine Zweitinstallation auf einem Laptop vorzunehmen oder per Fernzugriff auf den Arbeitsplatz über ein Netzwerk zu arbeiten, wenn die Zweitinstallation oder der Fernzugriff ausschließlich für den Benutzer im Sinne des § 2 zugänglich sind.

§ 4 Für die Zugänglichmachung der Nutzungsmöglichkeit über LAN, WAN oder Internet an Dritte zu deren eigenen Zwecken (ASP) ist eine ausdrückliche, schriftliche ASP-Lizenz erforderlich. Dies gilt insbesondere für eine öffentlich zugängliche Installation auf einem Internet-Server.

Nicht erlaubt ist außerdem das von der Software im bestimmungsgemäßen Betrieb nicht vorgesehene Auslesen von Daten, insbesondere das Auslesen der Gebietsdaten oder sonstiger Rohdaten, insbesondere unter Umgehung des Schutzes vor Direktkopie der dargestellten Vektorgrafiken. Unzulässig ist außerdem jede Veränderung oder De-Compilierung der Software, insbesondere die Entfernung von Urheberrechts- oder Copyrightvermerken, Namen, Marken oder sonstigen Kennzeichen oder von unternehmenstypischen Gestaltungen von GfK GeoMarketing.

Vor der Durchführung von Maßnahmen zur Herstellung der bestimmungsgemäßen Nutzungsmöglichkeit ist der Lizenzgeber zu informieren. Soweit zumutbar, ist der Lizenznehmer verpflichtet, die vom Lizenzgeber daraufhin empfohlene Maßnahme zu ergreifen, einschließlich der Verwendung eines vom Lizenzgeber zur Verfügung gestellten Patches oder Updates.
Der Lizenznehmer ist bezüglich überlassener Daten berechtigt, die Daten im Rahmen der §§ 2, 3 und der folgenden Bestimmungen zu bearbeiten, um unter deren Verwendung und weiterer, eigener Daten, Texte oder sonstiger Inhalte eigene Dokumente zu erstellen.

§ 7 INHOUSE-Lizenz
Ist die erworbene Lizenz als "Inhouse-Lizenz" bezeichnet oder ist nichts Näheres bestimmt, gilt für die Nutzung der gemäß § 6 hergestellten eigenen Dokumente, dass diese nur zu unternehmensinternen Zwecken vervielfältigt und nur intern zugänglich gemacht werden. Ein weitergehendes Verbreiten oder öffentliches Zugänglichmachen der erstellten Dokumente, insbesondere die Weitergabe an Dritte, der kommerzielle Vertrieb oder die Veröffentlichung in Zeitschriften, Büchern oder sonstiger Form als eigenes Werk, bedarf einer besonderen Lizenz.
Dokumente, die einen nach Art und Umfang wesentlichen Teil der überlassenen Daten beinhalten, dürfen nur in einer Form, bei der das Auslesen der lizenzierten Grundlagendaten der erzeugten Grafiken oder Darstellungen, insbesondere von Vektordaten, nicht möglich ist, erstellt, vervielfältigt oder über ein internes Netz über den Arbeitsplatz hinaus zugänglich gemacht werden.

§ 8 CONSULTANT-Lizenz
Als besondere, unmittelbar mit der Lizenzgeberin zu vereinbarende oder zusätzlich zu einer bestehenden Lizenz zu erwerbende Lizenz kann eine Consultant-Lizenz erworben werden. Diese berechtigt über die Bestimmungen des § 7 hinaus zur Weitergabe vom Lizenznehmer auf Basis eines konkreten Auftrages (Projektes) erstellter Dokumente und zur Zugänglichmachung an Kunden während der vereinbarten Nutzungsdauer der Consultant-Lizenz. Ist nichts weiter vereinbart, beträgt die Nutzungsdauer der Consultant-Lizenz 12 Monate ab Bestellung. Dies gilt für Dokumente, die einen nach Art und Umfang wesentlichen Teil der überlassenen Daten beinhalten, in einer Form, bei der das Auslesen der lizenzierten Grundlagendaten (Rohdaten) der erzeugter Grafiken oder Darstellungen, insbesondere von Vektordaten, nicht möglich ist.
Den Kunden darf das Recht eingeräumt werden, die erstellten Dokumente zu internen Zwecken zu vervielfältigen oder zugänglich zu machen, nicht aber die Dokumente weiter zu bearbeiten, weiter zu verbreiten oder öffentlich zugänglich zu machen. Die Lizenzurkunde bezeichnet die Projekte, auf die sich die Lizenz bezieht, oder deren Anzahl. Ist nicht bereits in der Lizenzurkunde jedem Projekt ein Lizenzschlüssel zugeordnet, kann GfK GeoMarketing verlangen, dass der Kunde nachträglich jedem überlassenen Lizenzschlüssel ein Projekt und bei Vorlage eines von ihm hergestellten Dokumentes diesem das jeweilige Projekt zuordnet. Im Übrigen gelten die Bestimmungen der §§ 6 und 7.

§ 9 Die "PUBLISHING-Lizenz" berechtigt über die Bestimmungen des § 7 hinaus zur Veröffentlichung, d.h. Verbreitung und öffentlichen Zugänglichmachung eigener, aus den lizenzierten Daten vom Lizenznehmer erstellter Dokumente im jeweils vereinbarten Rahmen. Dies gilt für Dokumente, die einen nach Art und Umfang wesentlichen Teil der überlassenen Daten beinhalten, in einer Form, bei der das Auslesen der lizenzierten Grundlagendaten (Rohdaten) der erzeugter Grafiken oder Darstellungen, insbesondere von Vektordaten, nicht möglich ist.
 Im Rahmen dieser Lizenz kann auch einem Dritten das Recht zur Veröffentlichung von Dokumenten erteilt werden, die der Lizenznehmer erstellt hat. Dem Dritten kann jedoch nicht das Recht zur Veränderung der Dokumente übertragen werden, mit Ausnahme verlagstypischer redaktioneller Eingriffe.
Im Übrigen gelten die Bestimmungen der §§ 6 und 7.

§10 Wird für die Nutzung der Lizenz ein Abonnementvertrag geschlossen, gilt eine Nutzungsdauer bis zur Kündigung mit einer Frist von drei Monaten zum Jahresende, mindestens aber 36 Monate. Das Abonnement beinhaltet die Lieferung der während der Laufzeit erscheinenden Updates (durchschnittlich max. 1/Jahr).

GfK GeoMarketing, en tant que donneur de licence des logiciels et données contenus sur ce support de données, transmet au preneur de licence ou à son représentant uniquement des droits de licence non exclusifs conformément aux dispositions de la présente licence. Si une tierce partie vend le support de données, elle ne peut transmettre de licences à l'acheteur que dans le cadre de cette licence. La licence ne peut être étendue sur la base de déclarations du vendeur. Si les conditions générales de licence ne correspondent pas aux accords convenus au moment de la vente, il est possible que le contrat n'ait pas été correctement établi par le vendeur. Dans ce cas, l'acheteur doit négocier avec le vendeur en raison de cette carence, conformément aux dispositions contractuelles et statutaires, et, si nécessaire, se désengager du contrat. Seul GfK GeoMarketing est habilité à modifier des dispositions de la licence.

GfK GeoMarketing, en tant que donneur de licence des logiciels et données cédés, transmet au preneur de licence uniquement les droits de jouissance simples et non exclusifs définis par la présente licence.

§ 1 Concernant l'étendue concrète de la licence octroyée, sont d'application les indications figurant sur la commande/confirmation de la licence auprès de GfK GeoMarketing ou sur tout autre acte de licence. S'il est fait mention d'une application spécifique, l'utilisation ne pourra faire l'objet d'une application autre que celle mentionnée explicitement. S'il est fait mention d'un programme informatique avec lequel les données doivent être utilisées, ou si les données sont cédées sous licence en même temps qu'un programme informatique, l'utilisation n'est autorisée qu'avec ce programme. Dans ce cas, l'extraction des données brutes, non prévue dans le cadre de l'utilisation conforme aux prescriptions de ce programme, et le contournement de la protection contre la copie directe des graphiques vectoriels représentés, ne sont pas admis. En cas de doute, la licence qui s'applique est la " licence INHOUSE " telle que définie au § 7 des présentes conditions générales de licence.

§ 2 En l'absence de précisions, ou si la licence en tant que telle est désignée pour un utilisateur, la licence est valable pour un utilisateur, c'est-à-dire pour l'utilisation des logiciels ou des données au poste de travail d'une personne. Le poste de travail est un ordinateur (PC) ou un terminal ou un environnement d'utilisateur limité par les logiciels à un ordinateur (compte utilisateur ou account). Si plusieurs utilisateurs ont accès au poste de travail conformément aux prescriptions, une licence est requise pour chaque utilisateur travaillant avec le programme. Cette disposition s'applique même si les utilisateurs ne travaillent pas simultanément avec le programme, à moins qu'un utilisateur soit absent durablement ou pendant plusieurs jours et soit remplacé pendant cette période ou durablement par un autre utilisateur. Si la licence est désignée comme licence multiple ou licence pour plusieurs utilisateurs, elle s'applique au nombre d'utilisateurs indiqué.

§ 3 Dans le cadre de la licence, le preneur de licence a exceptionnellement le droit, pour un poste de travail, d'effectuer une deuxième installation sur un ordinateur portable ou de travailler, par accès à distance, sur le poste de travail par le biais d'un réseau, lorsque la deuxième installation ou l'accès à distance sont exclusivement accessibles à l'utilisateur principal du poste de travail.

§ 4 Pour procurer l'accès à la possibilité d'utilisation par LAN, WAN ou Internet à des tiers à leurs propres fins (ASP pour Application Service Provider, en français FAH pour Fournisseur d'applications hébergées), une licence ASP formelle écrite est nécessaire. Cela vaut particulièrement pour une installation d'accès public sur un serveur Internet.

§ 5 Lorsque le produit est désigné en tant que mise à jour ou mise à niveau, vous n'avez le droit de l'utiliser qu'en lien avec une licence existante. La licence de mise à jour ou de mise à niveau ne constitue qu'une extension de la licence existante et donne uniquement le droit de l'utiliser dans ses limites.

§ 6 En l'absence de précisions, la licence relative aux logiciels est valable pour l'utilisation conforme aux prescriptions, notamment pour la création assistée par les logiciels de documents analogiques et numériques.
En l'absence d'une licence spéciale, le traitement automatisé, par l'intermédiaire des interfaces des logiciels, des documents réalisés avec ces derniers, notamment dans le but d'extraire les données sources ou de générer des représentations dynamiques, n'est pas autorisé. De plus, l'extraction de données, non prévue dans le cadre de l'utilisation conforme aux prescriptions de ce programme, notamment l'extraction de données de terrain ou d'autres données brutes, notamment avec contournement de la protection contre la copie directe des graphiques vectoriels représentés, n'est pas admise. Est également interdite toute modification ou décompilation des logiciels, notamment la suppression de mentions relatives aux droits d'auteur ou au droit de la propriété intellectuelle, de noms, de marques ou d'autres symboles ou de présentations typiques de l'entreprise GfK GeoMarketing.
Il n'est pas dérogé de ce fait au droit de réalisation de l'interopérabilité des logiciels créés de façon indépendante conformément au § 69 e de la Loi allemande sur le droit de la propriété intellectuelle (UrhG) et au droit de test conformément au § 69 d alinéa 3 de l'UrhG.
Le donneur de licence doit être informé avant l'exécution de mesures destinées à établir la possibilité d'utilisation conforme aux prescriptions. Dans la mesure où cela est raisonnablement exigible, le preneur de licence est tenu de prendre la mesure recommandée par la suite par le donneur de licence, y compris l'utilisation d'un patch ou d'une mise à jour fournie par le donneur de licence. Eu égard aux données cédées, le preneur de licence a le droit d'éditer les données dans le cadre des §§ 2 et 3 et des dispositions suivantes, afin de créer ses propres documents, en utilisant ces données et ses propres données, textes ou autres éléments de contenu. Sur ces documents doit figurer la mention: " Base de cartes GfK GeoMarketing " en lien direct avec les cartes géographiques générées au moyen des données de cartes du donneur de licence, et la mention: " Base de données GfK GeoMarketing" en lien direct avec les cartes géographiques, schémas, etc., générés au moyen d'autres données du donneur de licence, dès lors que cette mention n'est pas déjà comprise dans les graphiques générés. La modification ou toute autre utilisation portant atteinte aux droits de propriété intellectuelle (notamment, la reproduction, la diffusion ou la mise à disposition publique) des données de base en dehors de l'utilisation courante en vue de créer ses propres documents, notamment la conversion des données octroyées sous licence dans d'autres formats et la suppression de mentions relatives aux droits d'auteur ou au droit de la propriété intellectuelle, de noms, de marques ou d'autres symboles ou de présentations typiques de l'entreprise GfK GeoMarketing en dehors des limites fixées par les licences ci-après définies, n'est pas admise.

§ 7 Licence INHOUSE
Si la licence acquise est désignée comme " licence Inhouse " ou en l'absence de précisions, les documents propres réalisés conformément au § 6 pourront être reproduits uniquement à des fins internes à l'entreprise et ils seront rendus disponibles uniquement en interne. Toute diffusion plus large ou mise à disposition publique des documents créés, notamment la transmission à des tiers, la distribution commerciale ou la publication en tant qu'œuvre propre dans des magazines, livres ou sous une autre forme, exige une licence spéciale.
Les documents qui contiennent une part essentielle, quant à leur nature et à leur portée, des données cédées peuvent être créés, reproduits ou rendus accessibles via un réseau interne sortant du cadre du poste de travail, uniquement sous une forme empêchant l'extraction des données de base, octroyées sous licence, ayant servi à générer des graphiques ou représentations, notamment des données vectorielles.

§ 8 Licence CONSULTANT
Une licence Consultant peut être acquise en tant que licence spéciale à convenir directement avec le donneur de licence ou en complément d'une licence existante. Celle-ci donne le droit, au-delà des dispositions du § 7, de transmettre des documents créés par le preneur de licence sur la base d'une commande concrète (projet) et de les rendre accessibles aux clients pendant la durée d'utilisation convenue de la licence Consultant. En l'absence d'autre disposition, la durée d'utilisation de la licence Consultant est de 12 mois à compter de la commande. Cette règle s'applique aux documents qui contiennent une part essentielle, quant à leur nature et à leur portée, des données cédées, et qui possèdent une forme empêchant l'extraction des données de base (données brutes), octroyées sous licence, ayant servi à générer des graphiques ou représentations, notamment des données vectorielles. Pour certains projets particuliers, il peut être convenu d'augmenter le nombre de clients.
Les clients peuvent se voir octroyer le droit de reproduire ou de procurer l'accès aux documents créés à des fins internes, mais non pas de retraiter les documents, de les diffuser plus largement ou d'en procurer un accès public.
L'acte de licence décrit les projets auxquels se réfère la licence, ou bien leur nombre. Si une clé de licence n'est pas déjà assignée à chaque projet dans l'acte de licence, GfK GeoMarketing peut exiger que le client assigne par la suite un projet à chaque clé de licence distribuée, et le projet correspondant au document réalisé par ses soins, lors de la présentation de ce dernier.
Les dispositions des §§ 6 et 7 restent par ailleurs d'application.

§ 9 La "licence PUBLISHING" donne le droit, au-delà des dispositions du § 7, de publier, c'est-à-dire de diffuser et de procurer un accès public, des documents propres créés par le preneur de licence à partir de données octroyées sous licence, dans le cadre respectivement convenu. Cette règle s'applique aux documents qui contiennent une part essentielle, quant à leur nature et à leur portée, des données cédées, et qui possèdent une forme empêchant l'extraction des données de base (données brutes), octroyées sous licence, ayant servi à générer des graphiques ou représentations, notamment des données vectorielles.
 Dans le cadre de cette licence, il est également possible de conférer à un tiers le droit de publier des documents créés par le preneur de licence. Il n'est toutefois pas possible de transmettre au tiers le droit de modifier les documents, à l'exception des interventions rédactionnelles typiques d'une maison d'édition.
Les dispositions des §§ 6 et 7 restent par ailleurs d'application.

§10 Si l'utilisation de la licence fait l'objet d'un contrat d'abonnement, celui-ci a cours jusqu'à la date de résiliation, avec un préavis de trois mois fin d'année, mais au minimum pendant 36 mois. L'abonnement comprend la livraison de mises à jour pendant la durée de l'abonnement (une fois par an maximum en moyenne). En l'absence d'autre disposition, le prix de l'abonnement à la première livraison est de 50 % du prix client figurant dans le tarif GfK GeoMarketing en vigueur au moment de la livraison. Le prix de l'abonnement est exigible la première fois à la date de la commande, puis une fois par an à la date d'anniversaire de la commande. Les factures et les livraisons ultérieures peuvent être à des dates différentes.

§ 11 Si un tiers propose les logiciels ou les données, éventuellement dans le cadre d'un package avec ses propres logiciels, son propre matériel ou ses propres données, celui-ci peut se procurer des licences sur les données uniquement sur la base d'une licence de distribution ou d'une licence OEM basée sur un acte de licence spécial ou sur un contrat de licence écrit.

§ 12 Si un tiers propose les données en vue d'une utilisation interactive, ceci est uniquement admis sur la base d'une licence ASP fondée sur un acte de licence spécial ou un contrat de licence écrit.

§ 13 Si un tiers transforme les logiciels ou les données en son propre produit, il ne peut se procurer des licences ayant plein effet sur ce produit que sur la base d'une licence de production spéciale octroyée par écrit par GfK GeoMarketing.

§ 14 GfK GeoMarketing a le droit de résilier la licence pour motif sérieux. Par motif sérieux, on entend notamment une violation grave du droit de jouissance octroyé, une diffusion non autorisée ou la procuration d'un accès public de copies des logiciels ou toute autre diffusion non autorisée. Dans ce cas, tous les droits de jouissance octroyés sont supprimés.

§ 15 La licence n'est pas transmissible sans l'autorisation de GfK GeoMarketing.
 La licence, fondée sur la transmission de la propriété d'un support de données, qui n'a pas été octroyée, en lien à une fin ou à un projet spécifique, par un accord spécial, est cependant transmise à l'acquéreur, sans l'accord de GfK GeoMarketing, sur le territoire sur lequel l'épuisement du droit de la propriété intellectuelle conformément au § 69c alinéa 3 de la Loi allemande sur le droit de la propriété intellectuelle (UrhG) est survenu, suite à l'aliénation du support de données d'origine.
Le louage des supports de données, des logiciels ou des données exige toujours une licence spéciale.

§ 16 Pour autant que la licence s'applique aux logiciels (données) du groupe Tele Atlas incorporés dans le produit, les dispositions reproduites dans l'annexe 1 complètent les présentes conditions générales. Lorsqu'un logiciel de Tele Atlas BV est incorporé dans le produit octroyé sous licence, ceci est indiqué sur le support de données, l'emballage et/ou la description du produit.

§ 5.3 Audit. GfK GeoMarketing shall be entitled, at its own cost, not more than once every twelve months during the Term of this Agreement and upon reasonable written notice, to review those books, records and systems of Customer which relate directly to the usage of the RegioGraph System.
