The Digitalwerk Store, a Store for the distribution and download of software components based on the Automotive Data and Time-Triggered Framework ("ADTF"), ("Digitalwerk Store"), accessible at https://digitalwerk.store is provided to you by Digitalwerk GmbH, Im Gewerbepark C15, 93059 Regensburg, Germany ("Digitalwerk", "we" or "us"). Your use of the Digitalwerk Store is subject to these terms of use ("Terms of Use").
The Digitalwerk Store is a special platform for users to search for providers of ADTF components and plugins ("ADTF Software") and for developers to offer certain software. The Digitalwerk Store enables prospective users of ADTF Software to make an easy and quick pre-selection of ADTF Software offerings, in particular of ADTF versions; it helps to save time to find the right ADTF Software. Further, the Digitalwerk Store is set up so that data privacy and IT security are ensured.
The Digitalwerk Store is operated and made available by Digitalwerk. The content retrievable on the Digitalwerk Store is posted and provided by the Developers (as defined under section 2.1 of these Terms of Use). Digitalwerk merely provides the forms and functions required to offer the ADTF component software on the Digitalwerk Store. Digitalwerk does not have any influence on the completeness, accuracy or the other content of the provided information or content.
Digitalwerk is not a contractual partner of the user of Developer Content (as defined under sec-tion 4.2 of these Terms of Use). Digitalwerk procures (vermittelt) the usage agreement between such users and the Developer as a mere agent. Digitalwerk is not authorized to accept legal declarations (Willenserklärungen) that are to be made to the Developer. The use of the ADTF Software is subject to the general terms and conditions of the Developer. Therefore, users may have claims exclusively against the Developer for or in connection with the provision of the ADTF Software.
Digitalwerk is neither obliged to provide an actual user of the Developer’s ADTF Software nor to provide prospective users to the relevant Developers.
By registering an account for the Digitalwerk Store and accepting these Terms of Use, you ("Developer" or "you") as a provider or developer of ADTF Software and Digitalwerk (each a "Party" and collectively the "Parties") conclude a contract for the free use of the Digitalwerk Store subject to the terms and conditions provided in these Terms of Use ("Contract"). Please do not use the Digitalwerk Store, if you do not agree to the Terms of Use.
You can only register an account to the Digitalwerk Store if you are of legal age (18 years or older). Every person may register as a Developer only once. The Digitalwerk Store is not intended for the use by consumers within the meaning of section 13 German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch).
If the user is a legal entity, in particular a corporation or limited liability company, the acting persons represent and warrant that they are legally permitted to represent the respective legal entity.
The Digitalwerk Store provides different types of user accounts. The user accounts are administered by Digitalwerk. Each Developer shall appoint one representative who will be responsible for administering the customer relationship with Digitalwerk. Digitalwerk will contact this representative for all operational issues. The Developer can assign further users for its Developer Content in its domain of the Digitalwerk Store by advising Digitalwerk to invite prospective users to sign up for a separate user account. Upon registration as a user who was invited to the domain of a specific Developer ("Assigned User"), the Assigned User may view, use and download the Developer’s publicly available and/or private ADTF Software subject to the Developer’s terms and conditions regarding the relevant ADTF Software.
