Shiftmove shall make the software available to the Customer on a rental basis (Clause 1.7). In individual cases, a use without Hardware maybe possible. In this case, the provisions of these GTC concerning Hardware shall not apply.

2.2.1.2 The Hardware shall be dispatched by regular mail. Shiftmove bears the shipping risk. Upon receipt, the Customer must check the Hardware for defects and notify Shiftmove without undue delay of any defects. If the Customer fails to notify Shiftmove, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved, unless the defect was not recognizable during the inspection.

2.2.1.3 The Vimcar OBD plug provided on a rental basis is plugged into the vehicle's diagnostic port (usually located in the foot space). This technology enables access to data directly from the vehicle, which favors the keeping of a complete logbook (as long as the plug is in the diagnostic port). A GPS module is installed in the Vimcar OBD connector to determine the position. The Vimcar OBD connector also contains a SIM card for data transmission. The same must not be removed from the Vimcar OBD connector and may only be used in connection with the Vimcar Product. The telecommunication service in connection with the use of the OBD connector incl. SIM card is provided by 1NCE GmbH, Sternengasse 14-16, 50667 Cologne, Germany (Commercial Register: Cologne Local Court HRB92529) or Munic S.A., 100 Avenue de Stalingrad, 94800 Villejuif, France (Sirennumber: 442484556). The rented Vimcar Box is attached to the jump starter. This technology allows the use of Vimcar without the use of OBD data. A GPS module is installed in the Vimcar Box to determine its position. The Vimcar Box also contains a SIM card for data transmission. Shiftmove is not responsible for installing the Hardware. The Hardware described above is certified with the E-certificate required by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (Kraftfahrtbundesamt), which is valid throughout Europe, so that its use does not affect the registration of the vehicle. The Customer is responsible for installing the Hardware. In case of uncertainties with the technical handling, it is recommended to consult a specialized workshop. The Customer must clarify before ordering independently with the manufacturer of his or her vehicle whether the installation of the Hardware may affect the respective manufacturer's warranty.

2.2.1.4 The Customer must check the compatibility of the Hardware and the vehicle using the data provided on the Vimcar website (https://vimcar.de/support/bestellung) before ordering. Shiftmove expressly points out that, despite the greatest possible care, not all questions of compatibility can be clarified by Shiftmove before the order is placed. This is due, among other things, to the large number of different vehicle models, individual equipment and manufacturers. Shiftmove only guarantees the compatibility of the Hardware if Shiftmove has expressly informed the Customer thereof in text form. Otherwise, Shiftmove accepts no liability for errors and/ or damage caused by a lack of compatibility. Immediately upon receipt of the Hardware, the Customer shall check the compatibility with its vehicle and test the functionality of the respective Vimcar Product and inform Shiftmove immediately of any recognizable errors and/or malfunctions. The Customer shall ensure that the respective User cooperates as required.

2.2.1.5 The User will receive any software updates, including the firmware on the Hardware, which may be necessary for the proper operation of the software. The User undertakes to operate the Hardware exclusively with the firmware provided by Shiftmove. Maintenance and repair work on the Hardware provided may only be carried out by Shiftmove. Maintenance by the Customer, User or a third partynot authorized by Shiftmove may lead to irreversible damage to the Hardware. In this case, the Customer shall be charged the amount specified in Clause2.2.1.8. Shiftmove is authorized to carry out configurations and firmware updates on the Hardware via remote maintenance.

2.2.1.6 After termination of the contractual relationship, the Customer must immediately return the Hardware to Shiftmove GmbH, Warschauer Str. 57, 10243 Berlin, Germany, at its own expense. Hardware that has not been received by Shiftmove within fourteen (14) days of the end of the contract will be charged to the Customer in the amount of 119 Euros (excl. VAT), unless the Customer can provide proof of delivery from the shipping service provider commissioned by the Customer.The Customer reserves the right to prove that Shiftmove has incurred no or significantly less damage. The shipping risk of the return shipment and the responsibility for proper packaging shall be borne by the Customer.

2.2.1.7 Shiftmove shall bear the costs of any replacement or repair of the Hardware for the entire term of the License Agreement, provided that the faults occurred during proper use. If the Customer complains about a Hardware fault, Shiftmove shall check the functionality thereof. If there are indications that the Hardware is defective, replacement Hardware will be sent to the Customer or the respective User at Shiftmove's expense. If the Hardware is functional when it is sent for inspection or if the fault is attributable to the Customer or the User, Shiftmove is entitled to charge the Customer for the costs incurred by the inspection/repair on a time-spent and material costs basis. Shiftmove is authorized to replace the Hardware provided to the Customer with at least equivalent Hardware if technical or operational reasons make this necessary. A functional impairment of the software is not a defect if it results from defects in the Customer's or User's own hardware, from environmental conditions, incorrect operation or comparable circumstances that are beyond Shiftmove's control.

2.2.1.8 The Hardware or other end devices provided to the Customer shall remain the property of Shiftmove and must be returned to Shiftmove at the end of the contract in accordance with Clause 2.2.1.6. The Hardware must be treated with due care during the period of use. The Customer shall be liable for any damaget o the Hardware caused by the Customer or its vicarious agents during their possession. In the event of loss or irreversible damage to the Hardware, the Customer will be charged the value of the Hardware. The value of the OBD connector is 119 Euros (excl. VAT). The value of the Vimcar Box is 119 Euros (excl. VAT).Irreversible damage is also damage that is not economical to repair. The Customer has the right to prove that the damage is lower.

2.2.2     Creation of a Customer Account

To use the Vimcar Products, the Customer requires an account, which is created on the website individually communicated to the Customer, unless such an account was exceptionally created for the Customer by Shiftmove. The Customer or User downloads the Vimcar App or the Vimcar Fleet App from the relevant “app stores” (iOS, Android) independently onto the end device or may alternatively use the web versions (http://app.vimcar.com or http://fleet.vimcar.com). If the Customer has purchased the Hardware in a retail store, this paragraph does not apply.

2.2.3     The Vimcar Logbook

2.2.3.1 The Vimcar Logbook is an electronic logbook for documenting journeys made with a commercially registered car.

2.2.3.2 The Vimcar Logbook is based on the legal regulations of the tax authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany on digital logbooks. Shiftmove declares to the best of its knowledge that the current version of the program meets the technical requirements for keeping a proper digital logbook and that future updates will also meet the requirements. The auditing firm KPMG has verified that the Vimcar Logbook meets the IT regularity requirements for digital logbooks in allessential areas, provided that the trip recordings are carried out properly in accordance with the BMF letter dated 18 November 2009, BStBl. I 2009, p. 1326, ref. IV C 6 - S 2177/07/10004, amended by BMF letter dated 15 November 2012, BStBl. I 2012, p. 1099. The complete test report is available here: https://vimcar.de/kpmg.

2.2.3.3 Shiftmove points out that it is currently not possible to have electronic logbooks certified by the tax authorities or to obtain official authorization for electronic logbooks from the tax authorities. The examination of whether an electronic logbook is to be recognized as proper is only carried out on a case-by-case basis. The Customer therefore undertakes to follow the instructions for use in the logbook and not to violate any laws or other legal provisions in connection with the use of the Vimcar Logbook.

2.2.3.4 If there is a need for subsequent adjustment of the logbook, the Customer may make changes to the logbook itself up to seven days after the respective journey. Furthermore, the Customer may only request an adjustment to the logbook by customer service up to seven days after the journey (cut-off period). It is the Customer's responsibility to check the plausibility of the recorded journeys promptly and within the specified period (7-day period) and to process (categorize) them. If there are technical discrepancies in the recording of journeys, it is the responsibility of the Customer to cooperate immediately and fully in rectifying them. Shiftmove reserves the right to reject requests in relation to journeys older than 90 days.

2.2.3.5 According to the current legal situation, for the electronic logbook to be recognized by the tax authorities, the Customer must manually enter the mileage according to the odometer in the vehicle in the logbook at least twice a year. The Customer undertakes to enter this information and will be notified of this in the Vimcar app/web application.

2.2.4     Vimcar Fleet Geo

Vimcar Fleet Geo offers the Customer real-time localization and route documentation as part of a company's internal fleet management. Whether and how the aforementioned functions may be used by the respective Customer is subject to the Customer's individual assessment.

2.2.5 Right of withdrawal

The Customer has the right to withdraw from the contract for the use of Vimcar Products within thirty (30) days. The withdrawal period shall be thirty (30) days from the day on which the Customer – or a third party designated by the Customer, who is not the carrier – has taken possession of the goods. If the Customer is an entrepreneur according to §14 civil code (BGB), the right of withdrawal only applies to the first order of Vimcar products. To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer must inform Shiftmove (Shiftmove GmbH, Warschauer Str. 57, 10243 Berlin, E-Mail: contact@shiftmove.com) of the decision to withdraw from the contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail). The example withdrawal form below can be used for this purpose, but is not mandatory. If the customer withdraws from the contract, Shiftmove shall reimburse the customer for all payments Shiftmove has received from the customer, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from the customer choosing a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by Shiftmove), immediately – and at the latest, within fourteen days – from the day on which Shiftmove receives notification of the withdrawal from the contract. For this repayment, Shiftmove shall use the same means of payment that was used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with the customer. The customer must return or hand over the goods to Shiftmove immediately, and in any case, within fourteen days at the latest from the day on which they informed Shiftmove of the revocation of the contract. The deadline shall be deemed to have been met if the customer sends the goods before the expiry of the fourteen-day period. The customer shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods. The customer shall only be liable for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary for checking their condition, properties and functionality.
