YOYO – Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform.

1. Object and amendment of the Terms of Use

1.1 Kesseböhmer Ergonomietechnik GmbH, Siemensstr. 6, 73235 Weilheim/Teck, Germany (“Kesseböhmer”) operates an electronic platform. This is an electronic management and control service for workstations together with associated accessories (also via the Internet, if applicable) – currently accessible with a browser via a website as well as by means of an app (referred to in these contractual terms and conditions as the “YOYO Smart Ergonomics Platform”). The service manages the use/reservation of workstations and other office assets and enables modern desk sharing for various participants.

1.2 You have been given the technical opportunity to access the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform as a user via internet in order to use the functionalities of the platform within the scope of the agreements made with Kesseböhmer and the functionalities provided on the platform. Kesseböhmer enables access via browser and/or, if applicable, via software approved or provided by Kesseböhmer (e.g. App) – hereinafter referred to as “yApp”. If and to the extent you have obtained the App as a software application for mobile devices from the Apple App-Store, from the Google Play-Store or from any other place authorized by Kesseböhmer, Kesseböhmer grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right, limited in time to the term of these Terms of Use, to install this software (“mobile app”) on a mobile device owned by you or lawfully under your control that is supported by the mobile app and to use it free of charge exclusively in accordance with these Terms of Use and to the extent stipulated by Kesseböhmer from time to time. The mobile app requires a certain Android operating system version for Android end devices and a certain iOS operating system version for Apple end devices. Although Kesseböhmer endeavors to adapt the mobile app to changed operating system versions and new mobile device variants without any legal obligation to do so, there is no entitlement to such updates of the mobile app. You are responsible for checking and ensuring the suitability of the end device on which you intend to install the mobile app with regard to the aforementioned technical requirements. These Terms of Use are agreed between you and Kesseböhmer and not with Google or Apple as operators of the respective app stores. Google and Apple are not obligated on the basis of these Terms of Use to provide support services, remedy material defects and defects of title or other services for the mobile app or for the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform.

1.3 Kesseböhmer reserves the right to change these Terms of Use at any time with effect also for existing contractual relationships, in particular also to amend them. Kesseböhmer will inform you in detail about such changes before they take effect. Where you do not object within 30 days of receipt of the notification, this shall be deemed your consent to the validity of the amended Terms of Use. Kesseböhmer is obligated to inform you about the consequences of the failure to lodge an objection together with the notification of change.

2. Eligibility to register

2.1 Registration on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform and the use of the offers on the YOYO Smart-Ergonomics platform based on these Terms of Use is at no cost to you. You are authorized to register and use the YOYO Smart Ergonomics Platform because one of our customers has designated you as its administrator or other user.

2.2 You do not acquire any claims against Kesseböhmer in connection with the use of the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform. These are exclusively due to the customer for whom you are acting with respect to Kesseböhmer. Something else only applies where you yourself are our customer as a natural person and have concluded the y contractual terms with us in your own name. In this case, you act below as your own administrator/user.

You are only allowed to register on the YOYO Smart-Ergonomics platform and use it if you are of legal age and have unlimited legal capacity. Minors are prohibited from registering.

2.3 Your access to the YOYO Smart-Ergonomics platform will be activated either following your confirmation of our invitation sent to you by email by calling up the activation link and following your assignment of an inpidual password within the period of time specified in the email or by our customer/its administrator – if necessary also by means of a single sign-on procedure via a link to your access to our customer’s systems. Please note that you can log in to the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform using your ID and password – hereinafter also referred to as “access data”.

3. Responsibility for access data

3.1 You must keep your password secret and not render it accessible to unauthorized third parties.

3.2 It is your responsibility to ensure that during your access to the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform you have continuous access to the email address where we sent you the initial invitation to participate with the activation link and which serves as your login ID. Kesseböhmer must be informed immediately should you lose this access or if it is feared that unauthorized third parties have gained or will gain knowledge of your password.

3.3 You are required to ensure that you are the sole user of your access to the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform via the y App installed on your terminal device.

You are liable for any use and/or other activity carried out with the y app installed on your terminal device in accordance with the law. To this end, you agree to indemnify and hold Kesseböhmer harmless from and against any and all actions, damage, losses or claims that may arise from your participation in the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform, unless such damage is due to the intentional misconduct or negligence of Kesseböhmer or its vicarious agents.

3.4 You are obliged to keep your data (including your name) up to date. In the event of any change to the data provided during the term of participation, you must immediately correct the information on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform in the settings there. Where this is not successful, you shall immediately notify Kesseböhmer of the changed data in another way, for example by email.

4. Your participation in the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform

4.1 Please note that when using the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform by means of your access data, you are not acting on your own behalf, but basically on behalf of the customer, who has designated you as its user and invited you to do so. The customer must accept your use of the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform as its own action. However, this does not necessarily release you from your own responsibility and liability to Kesseböhmer. Above all, the rights and obligations set out in these Terms of Use apply.

4.2 With regard to your participation in the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform as a user of the Customer, you are obliged to ensure, prior to your respective use of the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform, that it is supported by an appropriate consent of the Customer.

5. Termination/restriction of participation

5.1 Your access to the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform will end automatically, without any termination or other notice to you being required, upon termination of the contractual relationship between the customer and Kesseböhmer or upon withdrawal of your status as administrator/other user by the customer with respect to Kesseböhmer on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform. The customer is entitled to withdraw this status from you or change it at any time.

5.2 Kesseböhmer reserves the right to wholly or partly block your access to the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform temporarily or permanently, where the conditions agreed with the customer in the contractual relationship in this regard obtain.

5.3 Kesseböhmer is entitled to irretrievably delete all data created in the course of your participation following a lapse of 30 calendar days after blocking your access to the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform and following the expiry of any statutory retention periods.

6. Service offer and availability of the services

6.1 Kesseböhmer provides the customer with different services on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform for temporary use depending on the agreements made with the customer. You are entitled to access and use the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform to the extent agreed with the customer and, where applicable, to be determined by the customer itself. This may involve the virtual management/appointment booking of office space/workstations and (under certain circumstances) other resources, which allows the workstations/other office assets created on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform to be reserved/booked at certain times or otherwise managed via virtual appointment management. Various display and management functions enable efficient desk sharing and help to increase the utilization of your own office infrastructure. Finally, if agreed with the customer and provided that certain hardware components (e.g., box) are properly integrated, the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform offers the option of controlling various (selected) components (e.g. height-adjustable desks, lights, etc.) in order to align the physical workplace ergonomically and set it up inpidually.

6.2 You do not have your own claim to the use/availability of the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform in general and to certain functionalities/contents of the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform in particular. Only the customer for whom and on whose behalf you are acting is entitled. Furthermore, by reserving a workstation/other office asset on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform (at a specific time), you do not acquire any entitlement to use/availability. The scheduling and other management of workstations and other office assets is solely intended to facilitate the customer’s effective use of resources and increase their utilization. The use of the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform does not afford you any inpidual (usage) claims. The sole decisive factor is and remains your own contractual relationship with Kesseböhmer’s customer, who grants you the use of its workstations/other office assets on the basis of agreements made between you and it.

6.3 As far as and as long as the customer designates you as administrator – if applicable also as other user with a designated user profile – you are entitled to create third parties as new users of the customer on the customer’s behalf to the extent generally allowed by Kesseböhmer for this purpose on the y  Smart Ergonomics platform and depending on the user profiles provided for this purpose respectively to invite them separately if applicable and to grant them as well as existing users of the customer authorizations to use the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform and to withdraw them again. Upon initial registration as a (new) user, the respective third parties may receive an invitation to participate in the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform from Kesseböhmer by email, together with a request to confirm their participation by clicking on an activation link. You must ensure that these third parties have consented to receive emails generated via the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform – in particular as part of the initial registration and invitation process – and have been informed in advance about their participation in the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform as users of the customer. However, under certain circumstances – depending on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform’s functional scope – you also select the access data incl. the personal password for the new users.

7. Protection of content, responsibility for third-party content

7.1 The content available on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform may be protected by copyright or other intellectual property rights and is the property of Kesseböhmer, the other users of the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform or other third parties who have made the respective content available on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform. The compilation of the contents as such may be protected as a database or database work within the meaning of sections 4 (2), 87a (1) of the German Copyright Act. You may only use this content in accordance with these terms of use and only within the framework specified on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform and only to the extent permitted to you by the customer.

7.2 The contents available on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform originate partly from Kesseböhmer, partly from the customer together with its users and the other users of the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform or also from other third parties. Content that does not originate from Kesseböhmer is hereinafter collectively referred to as “Third-Party Content”. Kesseböhmer does not check third-party content for completeness, accuracy or lawfulness and therefore does not assume any responsibility or warranty for the completeness, accuracy, legality and timeliness of the third-party content. This also applies with regard to the quality of the third-party content and its suitability for a specific purpose, and also insofar as it concerns third-party content on linked external websites/services.

Part of the services and functions of the YOYO Smart Ergonomics Platform may be the provision/generation of drafts for notifications to third parties – e.g. fault notifications. In this respect, these are only standardized drafts that are automatically supplemented with inpidual information. They do not replace legal advice nor does Kesseböhmer assume any liability for their contents’ accuracy. Your adoption of the drafts including the intended contact data by you is at your own risk and responsibility. You are obliged to check in each inpidual case whether the drafts are suitable for use in the specific inpidual case and to what extent they require prior adaptation.

8. Posting of own content by the customer and its users

Subject to the following provisions, you may under certain circumstances, namely depending on the scope of functions generally stipulated for this purpose, post content on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform and thus make it available to third parties.

8.1 By transmitting content to Kesseböhmer by means of the functions provided for this purpose on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics-platform – through its administrators or its other users where applicable – you agree on behalf of the customer with respect to Kesseböhmer to the Content’s inclusion and provision on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform. Kesseböhmer is entitled, but not obliged, to include the transmitted content on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform. Especially where a specific data size – related to single or all posted contents – is exceeded, Kesseböhmer reserves the right to refrain from inclusion on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform.

Therefore, prior to transmitting images and other information, you shall ensure that you have sufficient rights of use to them or to the respective files and that making them available on the YOYO Smart Ergonomics platform does not violate any statutory provisions, morality and/or the rights of third parties.
