Article 3 The izi.TRAVEL Service

3.1 The izi.TRAVEL Service gives you the right to access and use the CMS, which enables you to upload, store, and manage, (i.e., modify, add, and delete) Content. The Content uploaded by you will become part of the Database. We make the Database available to Publication Partners who may incorporate the Content in their Products, as further described in article 7. This could lead to a greater exposure of your Content and could help you reach more people and/or attract more visitors. The purpose of the izi.TRAVEL platform is to bring the Content Providers and the Publication Partners together.

3.2 As izi.TRAVEL operates as a platform and does not interfere with the Content, we do not respond to requests from Content Providers to exploit and/or use the Content in any specific way. We can also not guarantee that a Publication Partner or End User is going to exploit the Content in a specific way nor that the exploitation of the Content will be successful.

3.3 As the izi.TRAVEL Service is a free and open platform, Content Providers cannot claim exclusivity for a certain public object or place of interest; i.e. the izi.TRAVEL Service allows every Content Provider to include a public object or place of interest in his Content.

3.4 We will provide the izi.TRAVEL Service to the best of our ability. However, you must accept that the izi.TRAVEL Service contains only those functionalities that you find at the moment of use (“as is” basis). Except as expressly provided in these License Terms, we make no warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, quality, safety, integrity, reliability, or accuracy of the izi.TRAVEL Service or the CMS, or that any part of the izi.TRAVEL Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, virus-free, timely, secure, nor is it warranted either implicitly or expressly that any content is safe in any manner for download.

Article 4 Access to and Availability of the izi.TRAVEL Service

4.1 In order to use the izi.TRAVEL Service, you need to create an Account by following the registration process on the izi.TRAVEL Website [or in the izi.TRAVEL App]. The Content Provider will be asked to assign a contact person and provide contact information of the contact person. You need to make sure that all provided information is up-to-date, correct and complete. This is important to us as we may need to reach out to the Content Providers in certain cases (for instance with questions about your Content). No Content Provider is allowed to create an Account under someone else’s name.

4.2 If you are an individual under the age of 18, you are also welcome to register as a Content Provider but you need to have your parent(s)’ or legal guardian(s)’ permission to create an Account and to use the izi.TRAVEL Service.

4.3 If you register an Account and use the izi.TRAVEL Service on behalf of another individual, a company or other kind of business undertaking, you take responsibility for having legal authority to bind that individual, company, or other kind of business undertaking to these License Terms.

4.4 Login Details are required for registration. The Login Details must be kept secret to avoid unauthorised use of an Account. As soon as you know, or have reasons to suspect, that your Login Details have come into the hands of unauthorised persons, you should inform izi.TRAVEL and take effective action immediately, by modifying the Login Details.

4.5 If you can no longer access your Account (for instance because the person who created the Account has left your company without leaving behind the Login Details), please contact us at support@izi.travel.

4.6 izi.TRAVEL may use the contact information provided by you to send e-mails concerning the operation of the izi.TRAVEL Service.

4.7 In case you give other people (third parties) access to your Account, their actions will be under your full responsibility. This implies that any damages to your Content or costs related to the use of paid izi.TRAVEL services by such third parties will be due to your own account. These License Terms shall also apply to such third parties making use of your Account.

4.8 In certain cases, we may need to get in touch with you. If you do not respond to our query within three months, we assume that you no longer wish to make use of your Account and we will be entitled to terminate your Account and remove your Content.

4.9 In order to improve the izi.TRAVEL Service, or for other reasons, izi.TRAVEL may need to make functional, procedural or technical changes to the izi.TRAVEL Service, including the CMS, and/or (temporarily or permanently) take out (part of) the izi.TRAVEL Service. izi.TRAVEL cannot be held liable for that.

4.10 The purchase and/or the proper operation of the infrastructure necessary to use the izi.TRAVEL Service is the sole responsibility of the Content Provider. izi.TRAVEL cannot be accounted for damage or costs related to transmission errors, malfunctions, or non-availability of computer, data or telecom facilities, including the internet.

4.11 We undertake all reasonable measurements to make sure the izi.TRAVEL Service works impeccable at any time. In the event that the izi.TRAVEL Service, or part thereof, is nevertheless (temporary) unavailable or not working properly, we cannot be held liable for any related damage or costs.

4.12 Note that we are not responsible for storage of your data, including your Content. That means that if you remove your Content from our platform or if we encounter technical problems your Content may be lost and we may not be able to retrieve your Content. We therefore recommend that you keep a copy of your Content on your own devices for storage purposes.

Article 7 Intellectual Property Rights

7.1 We respect your Intellectual Property Rights and we expect you do the same with our Intellectual Property Rights. You will be and will remain the sole owner of all Intellectual Property Rights in relation to the Content that you make available through the izi.TRAVEL Service. You can adjust, change and/or remove your Content at any time from the izi.TRAVEL Service. The Intellectual Property Rights in relation to the izi.TRAVEL Service, including the CMS and the Database, the izi.TRAVEL App, and the izi.TRAVEL Website belong exclusively to us or our licensors. This means, for instance, that you are not allowed to register any domain names, trademarks, or Google Adwords that are identical or similar to any object to which izi.TRAVEL holds Intellectual Property Rights and that you are not allowed to reproduce, modify, reverse engineer, or publish the izi.TRAVEL Service and/or the CMS for other purposes than those listed in these License Terms. Removal, hiding, making illegible or modifying notifications or statements with regard to our Intellectual Property Rights is not permitted.

7.2 As Content Provider you will be given the right to access and use the izi.TRAVEL Service and the software that forms part of the izi.TRAVEL Service, including the CMS, insofar as necessary for the use of the izi.TRAVEL Service. You appreciate that izi.TRAVEL may grant this same right to other Content Providers as well. We can only revoke this right granted to you in those situations as further described in these License Terms.

7.3 In order for us to be able to spread your Content and to give you free and global exposure, you acknowledge and accept that by making the Content available through the izi.TRAVEL Service, you automatically and free-of-charge give us the right to use and reproduce your Content worldwide. This includes the right for us to make your Content available to third parties and to give third parties this same right to use and reproduce your Content. This right granted to us will not be exclusive, so feel free to have other parties than izi.TRAVEL spread your Content as well. The right given to us to use and reproduce your Content includes, but is not limited to, the right to:

use the Content for our internal purposes, such as using screenshots for our leaflets or using it as an example in our presentations;
reformat and/or use the Content for purposes of developing, producing, and enhancing the Database, the izi.TRAVEL App, and the izi.TRAVEL Website, for instance to make your Content more suitable for tables, websites, iOS, Android and Windows phones;
incorporate, (permanently) store, add to, or otherwise use the (reformatted) Content in the Database, the izi.TRAVEL App, and on the izi.TRAVEL Website;
provide certain Publication Partners (partners of izi.TRAVEL that have been carefully selected by us) with access to your Content (through the Database or otherwise) and the non-exclusive and worldwide right to (i) reformat and/or use your Content for purposes of developing, producing, and enhancing their Products, for instance to present it in the most attractive way through their Products, (ii) use your Content in their Products (to enhance your Content’s exposure), and/or (iii) sublicense, deliver, and/or distribute your Content with and/or as part of their Products to other parties for their same use as described in this clause (d) and/or further distribution and/or to End Users;
use (parts of) your Content, your name, brand and/or logo and the relationship between us for promotional and marketing purposes, for instance by presenting your Content as an example to other potential Content Providers and End Users, unless you do not approve such use in which case you should contact us.

7.4 For the avoidance of doubt: in our agreements with the Publication Partners we strictly forbid the Publication Partners to sell any of your Content to any other party. Furthermore, your name and profile and copyright notice (if any) will always be accessible, linked or integrated with your Content when made available to the Publication Partners and End Users, unless for technical reasons this is not possible (for instance when we promote your Content via Social Media, e.g. Twitter)

7.5 The license you granted to izi.TRAVEL to use and reproduce your Content as further described in article 7.3 above, will stay in force as long as your Content is available through the CMS. Any removal by you of your Content, will automatically result in the same removal from izi.TRAVEL’s systems and servers and from the Database. izi.TRAVEL will, however, not be under the obligation to remove this Content also from all proxy servers or similar technical ‘cache systems’. Prior to the removal the Content may have already been downloaded by a third party (which could be an End User, a Publication Partner, or other third party). We can obviously not ensure the removal of the Content from any services, systems or devices under the control and operated by such third party nor can we prevent such third party from using the removed Content any longer.

7.6 We respect your Intellectual Property Rights in accordance with these License Terms and we will only work with those Publication Partners that agree to do the same. It may, however, be the case that, due to technical reasons, we or a Publication Partner make a publication of your Content without mentioning your name, or other designation as creator of the Content, or make any changes to the title of your Content or any minor changesto the Content itself. In those cases, the meaning of the Content itself will not be changed. You agree to accept such changes and not to object. Should such changes result in any distortion, mutilation, or other impairment of your Content that could be prejudicial to your name or reputation or to your dignity, you will of course have the right to object.

7.7 In case you do not agree with any of the changes made to your Content by any Publication Partner, or if you are of the opinion that your Intellectual Property Rights have been infringed or are being infringed by a Publication Partner, you may notify us thereof as soon as possible by sending a notification to support@izi.travel or by completing the support form athttp://izi.travel/support(or by clicking on the link 'Support' in the bottom menu). We will then contact the relevant Publication Partner and try our best to stop and/or remedy the infringement. If it appears, to the opinion of izi.TRAVEL, that your claim is lawful, we will decide to cease any form of cooperation with such Publication Partner. In no event, however, can izi.TRAVEL be held liable or responsible for any infringements or alleged infringements of your Intellectual Property Rights by Publication Partners, End Users, or any other party, whether or not access to your Content was given by us to such third party. You hereby waive all rights to make claims against us in connection with any such (alleged) infringements by any third party and hereby indemnify and hold izi.TRAVEL harmless for and against any and all third party claims relating hereto.

Article 8 Personal Data

8.1 We process your Personal Data and of persons using the Account, including but not limited to information entered when creating the Account, information provided when using the izi.TRAVEL Service and uploading Content, and information collected on the use of the izi.TRAVEL Service, such as: browsing history, IP address, information on your browser and operating system and user interactions with the browser.

8.2 To the extent necessary, you agree in advance to all processing by or on behalf of izi.TRAVEL of the Personal Data referred to under article 8.1 for the purposes of:

developing and offering the izi.TRAVEL Service, the izi.TRAVEL App, and the izi.TRAVEL Website;
communicating with you about izi.TRAVEL and its products and services;
generating statistical data (including by means of Google Analytics and/or other analytics providers);
protecting our information systems.

8.3 To the extent necessary, you agree in advance to us providing access to any Publication Partner to the Personal Data referred to under article 8.1, excluding the Login Details, and all subsequent processing by or on behalf of this Publication Partner of this Personal Data, for the purposes of:

developing and offering their Products;
communicating with you about the Publication Partner and its Products;
generating statistical data (including by means of Google Analytics and/or other analytics providers);
protecting the Publication Partner's information systems.

8.4 To the extent necessary, you give the permissions under articles 8.2 and 8.3 on behalf of any persons using the Account. You warrant that you have the necessary mandate from such persons to give such permissions.

8.5 The Content uploaded by you may contain Personal Data of others besides the Content Provider or persons using the Account. It cannot be excluded that the processing thereof (i) by us or on our behalf for the purposes set out in article 8.2, and (ii) by or on behalf of any Publication Partner for the purposes set out in article 8.3, requires permission from such others. If there is a significant risk that such permission would be required, you shall obtain such permission.

8.6 We will implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the Personal Data referred to in articles 8.1 and 8.5 against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access.

8.7 Under European data protection law, a legal basis is required for the processing of Personal Data. This legal basis can be the granting of permission, as set out in this article 8, but there are also other legal bases. For the avoidance of doubt, the permissions granted to us and the Publication Partners under this article are without prejudice to any other legal basis we and the Publication Partners might have for the processing referred to in this article.

Article 9 Money

9.1 The izi.TRAVEL Service is provided by us free-of-charge. In the future paid features may be added for Content Providers, which will be optional for you to use. You will be notified of the existence of such paid features and you will be free to choose whether to use such paid features or not.

9.2 As Content Provider you may choose whether you wish to offer your Content for free to your visitors or whether you would like to sell it through the izi.TRAVEL Service (Paid Content). If you wish to offer Paid Content you need to contact us first (support@izi.travel). We may in such case ask for additional information from your side.

9.3 The price for the Paid Content will be determined by you. Note, however, that we cannot control any changes made to this price by the Application Markets. Furthermore, note that we will always have the right to temporarily offer the Content for free after all or request you to moderate the price for the Paid Content, for instance for promotional purposes.

9.4 If you offer Paid Content to End Users, the fee for such Paid Content actually paid by the End Users shall be divided as follows (all excluding VAT):

the Application Market will receive 30%;
you will receive 50%;
izi.TRAVEL will receive 20%.

9.5 Note that we will have the right to change the above percentages in the event that changes occur to the above division out of our control (for instance, due to a change in the rules set by the Application Market).

9.6 izi.TRAVEL will distribute your content to many different types of Publication Partners as possible and negotiate the best conditions for monetisation of your content. The Publication Partners may have diverse business models: the way they present your content will vary (from audio tour to audio book, to gpx routes) and the way they compensate you for the usage of your content will vary (for example but not limited to: subscriptions based on time per use, or ad-free use, or downloads, or all of those combined, direct sales of paid content, and many more). Some may publish your content for free and only pay us above a certain threshold of usage; the description of rules and revenue share model for every specific Publication Partner will be provided to you upon request.

9.6 We will collect the fee from either the Publication Partner or the End Users directly.

9.8 We will subsequently pay you your share. Note that we will only pay you your share of the fee after we have received from the Publication Partner and/or End Users the full amount due. This means that we are not accountable for (non-) payment by the Publication Partner or the End Users; non-payment risks will be borne by you.

9.9 Any shortages or losses of fees for your Paid Content due to the conversion of the payments into another currency and/or fluctuating currency exchange rates will be for your risk and account.

9.10 You may request us to prepare a statistical report regarding the purchase and use of the Paid Content by Publication Partners and End Users. The information included in such reports are leading and binding for the calculation of the fee amount to be paid to you.

9.11 The statistical reports will be provided to you monthly and we will pay you the relevant fee amounts within 30 days after sending the relevant report. We will strive to make all payment in time. Nevertheless, any late payment does not give you the right to suspend your obligations under these License Terms, including the license provided in article 7, nor does it entitle you to interest on such late payment.

9.12 If we owe you less than EUR 500, the payment will be postponed either until the month in which we owe you in aggregate EUR 500 or more, or until the end of the current financial year.

9.13 If you owe us money for whatever reason we will be allowed to off set any such payment obligation to any of our own payment obligations to you.

9.14 Any shortages or losses of fees due to the conversion of the payments into another currency and/or fluctuating currency exchange rates will be for your risk and account.

9.15 The payment must be claimed within 24 months since the sale has been made. Payments not claimed within 24 months become void.
