4. Change Of Product

You can change the usage of any resources in the platform at any time. 

5. Authorization

By agreeing to these Terms, you are giving us permission to charge your on-file credit card or other approved methods of payment for fees that you authorize for Record Evolution.

6. Responsibility For Payment

The Billing Entity is  responsible for all fees, including taxes, associated with use of the Service. By using the Service, you agree on behalf of the Billing Entity to pay Record Evolution any charge incurred in connection with your use of the Service. If you dispute the matter, contact us directly via email at info@record-evolution.de. You are responsible for providing us with a valid means of payment for paid accounts. Free accounts are not required to provide payment information.

7. Availability, Errors, And Inaccuracies

We are constantly updating our offerings of products and services on the Service. The products or services available on our Service may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating information on the Service and in our advertising on other websites.

We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, product images, specifications, availability, and services. We reserve the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice.

8. Contests, Sweepstakes And Promotions

Any contests, sweepstakes or other promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) made available through the Service may be governed by rules that are separate from these Terms. If you participate in any Promotions, please review the applicable rules as well as our Privacy Policy. If the rules for a Promotion conflict with these Terms, the Promotion rules will apply.

9. Online Billing

At the end of the applicable Fee Accrual Period, Record Evolution will issue an electronic bill to User for all charges accrued based on the Usage Based products that were used within this period.

If User elects to pay by credit card, debit card, or other non-invoiced form of payment, Record Evolution will charge (and User will pay) all Fees immediately at the end of the Fee Accrual Period. If User elects to pay by invoice (and Record Evolution agrees), all Fees are due as set forth in the invoice. User’s obligation to pay all Fees is non-cancellable.

The minimum charge per Credit Card transaction is 0.50€. If no charges are accrued (invoice amount of zero Euro), then no Credit Card transaction will be made.

Record Evolution’s measurement of the User’s use of the Service is final. Record Evolution has no obligation to provide multiple bills. Payments made via wire transfer must include the bank information provided by Record Evolution.

10. Taxes

The User is responsible for any Taxes, and the User will pay Record Evolution for the Service without any reduction for Taxes. If Record Evolution is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to the User, unless the User provides Record Evolution with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

In some regions, the sales tax is due on the total purchase price at the time of sale and must be invoiced and collected at the time of the sale. If the User is required by law to withhold any Taxes from its payments to Record Evolution, the User must provide Record Evolution with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such withholding. If, under the applicable tax legislation, the Service is subject to local VAT and the User is required to make a withholding of local VAT from amounts payable to Record Evolution, the value of the Service calculated in accordance with the above procedure will be increased (grossed up) by the User for the respective amount of local VAT and the grossed up amount will be regarded as a VAT-inclusive price. Local VAT amount withheld from the VAT-inclusive price will be remitted to the applicable local tax entity by the User and the User will ensure that Record Evolution will receive payment for its services for the net amount as would otherwise be due (the VAT-inclusive price less the local VAT withheld and remitted to applicable tax authority).

If required under applicable law, the User will provide Record Evolution with applicable tax identification information that Record Evolution may require to ensure its compliance with applicable tax regulations and authorities in applicable jurisdictions. The User will be liable to pay (or reimburse Record Evolution for) any taxes, interest, penalties or fines arising out of any mis-declaration by the User.

11. Invoice Disputes And Refunds

Any invoice disputes must be submitted prior to the payment due date. If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Record Evolution, Record Evolution will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit memo specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If the disputed invoice has not yet been paid, Record Evolution will apply the credit memo amount to the disputed invoice and User will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the User waives all claims relating to Fees unless claimed within sixty days after charged (this does not affect any User rights with its credit card issuer). Refunds (if any) are at the discretion of Record Evolution and will only be in the form of credit for the Service. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Record Evolution to extend credit to any party.

12. Delinquent Payments; Suspension

Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. The User will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Record Evolution in collecting such delinquent amounts. If the User is late on payment for the Service, Record Evolution may suspend the Service or terminate the Agreement for breach pursuant to Section.

No Purchase Order Number Required. For clarity, the User is obligated to pay all applicable Fees without any requirement for Record Evolution to provide a purchase order number on Record Evolution’s invoice (or otherwise).

5. Scraping

Scraping refers to extracting data from our Website via an automated process, such as a bot or webcrawler. It does not refer to the collection of information through Record Evolution’s API. Please see our API Terms. You may scrape the website for the following reasons:

5.1 Researchers may scrape public, non-personal information from Record Evolution for research purposes, only if any publications resulting from that research are open-access.

5.2 Archivists may scrape Record Evolution for public data for archival purposes.

You may not scrape Record Evolution for spamming purposes, including for the purposes of selling Record Evolution users’ personal information, such as to recruiters, headhunters, and job boards.

6. Privacy

Misuse of Record Evolution Users’ Personal Information is prohibited. Any person, entity, or service collecting data from Record Evolution must comply with the Record Evolution Privacy Statement, particularly in regards to the collection of our Users’ Personal Information (as defined in the Record Evolution Privacy Statement). If you collect any Record Evolution User’s Personal Information from Record Evolution, you agree that you will only use the Personal Information you gather for the purpose for which our User has authorized it. You agree that you will reasonably secure any Personal Information you have gathered from Record Evolution, and you will respond promptly to complaints, removal requests, and “do not contact” requests from Record Evolution or Record Evolution Users.

E. User-Generated Content

Short version: You own the content you create, but you allow us certain rights to it, so that we can display and share the content you post. You still have control over your content, and responsibility for it, and the rights you grant us are limited to those we need to provide the service. We have the right to remove content or close accounts if we need to.

1. Responsibility For User-Generated Content

You may create or upload User-Generated Content while using the Service. You are solely responsible for the content of, and for any harm resulting from, any User-Generated Content that you post, upload, link to or otherwise make available via the Service, regardless of the form of that Content. We are not responsible for any public display or misuse of your User-Generated Content.

2. Possible Content Removal

We do not pre-screen public User-Generated Content, but we have the right (though not the obligation) to refuse or remove any User-Generated Content that, in our sole discretion, violates any Record Evolution terms or policies.

3. Ownership Of Content, Right To Post, And License Grants

You retain ownership of and responsibility for the Content you create or own (“Your Content”). If you are posting anything you did not create yourself or do not own the rights to, you agree that you are responsible for any Content you post; that you will only submit Content that you have the right to post; and that you will fully comply with any third-party licenses relating to Content you post.

Because you or the Billing Entity retain ownership of and responsibility for Your Content, we need you to grant us — and other Record Evolution Users — certain legal permissions, listed in Sections E.4 — E.6. These license grants apply to Your Content. If you upload Content that already comes with a license granting Record Evolution the permissions we need to run our Service, no additional license is required. You understand that you will not receive any payment for any of the rights granted in Sections E.4 — E.6. The licenses you grant to us will end when you remove Your Content from our platform, unless other Users have copied it.

4. License Grant To Us

We need the legal right to do things like host Your Content, publish it, and share it. You grant us and our legal successors the right to store, parse, and display Your Content, and make incidental copies as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service. This includes the right to do things like copy your content to our database and make backups; show it to you and other users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our platform; share it with other users; and perform it, in case Your Content is something like music or video.

This license does not grant Record Evolution the right to sell Your Content or otherwise distribute or use it outside of our provision of the Service.

5. License Grant To Other Users

Any User-Generated Content you post publicly, including comments, and contributions to other Users’ Content, may be viewed by others. 

If you set your pages and Content to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of Record Evolution a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the Record Evolution Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on Record Evolution as permitted through Record Evolution’s functionality. You may grant further rights if you adopt a license. If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other Record Evolution Users.

6. Moral Rights

You retain all moral rights to Your Content that you upload, publish, or submit to any part of the Service, including the rights of integrity and attribution. However, you waive these rights and agree not to assert them against us, to enable us to reasonably exercise the rights granted in Section E.4, but not otherwise.

To the extent this agreement is not enforceable by applicable law, you grant Record Evolution the rights we need to use Your Content without attribution and to make reasonable adaptations of Your Content as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service.

These rights may vary depending on the service or feature, but Record Evolution will continue to treat your  private Data Pods and/or Fleets and/or Apps Content as confidential. If those services or features require rights in addition to those we need to provide the Record Evolution Service, we will provide an explanation of those rights.

So while we may modify this agreement at any time, we will notify users of any changes that affect your rights and give you time to adjust to them.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time and will update these Terms and Conditions in the event of any such amendments. We will notify our Users of material changes to this Agreement, such as price changes, at least 30 days prior to the change taking effect by posting a notice on our Website. For non-material modifications, your continued use of the Website constitutes agreement to our revisions of these Terms and Conditions.

We reserve the right, at any time and from time to time, to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Website (or any part of it) with or without notice.
