Terms of use

1. Scope

These terms govern the use of the “TV Horst” digital signage platform (the “Service”), operated by aplis AG, Rümlang ZH (the “Provider”). By using the Service, the user accepts these terms. The Service is aimed at businesses, not consumers. Enterprise offerings are governed by individually agreed contracts, which prevail over these terms where they differ.

2. Account, subscription and billing

TV Horst is subscribed to through the aplis account. Access to the Service is via the aplis ID; the subscription, payment method, invoices and cancellation are managed in the aplis account. Conclusion of contract, prices, VAT, per-screen billing, late payment and cancellation are governed by the terms and conditions of aplis AG. In case of conflict on these points, the aplis AG terms prevail.

3. Beta status

The Service is in a beta phase and under continuous development. Features may change, be added or be removed. Beta status does not release the user from agreed payment obligations; conversely, payment does not create any entitlement beyond these terms.

4. Services

The Service enables managing and displaying content on screens. The Provider owes no particular level of availability (no service level agreement) and no support within a specific response time. The Provider strives for stable, uninterrupted operation. Screens and playback devices are procured by the user; the Provider sells no hardware.

5. Suspension for non-payment

If a payment due remains outstanding, the Provider may suspend access to the Service and the display of content on the affected screens until the open amounts are settled. Content already on air may stop as a result. Account and content are retained.

6. User obligations

Users may only upload and display content for which they hold the necessary rights and which does not violate applicable law or the rights of third parties. Responsibility for displayed content lies entirely with the user. Access credentials must be kept confidential.

7. Content and removal

The Provider does not monitor uploaded content. If it becomes aware of content that violates section 6, applicable law or third-party rights, it may block or remove that content and suspend the affected playback. In case of serious or repeated violations, the Provider may suspend the account and terminate the contract for cause. The Provider informs the user of such a measure where legally permissible and practically possible.

8. Warranty and liability

The Service is provided with due care but without any assurance of fitness for a particular purpose. To the extent permitted by law, the Provider’s liability for damages (in particular data loss, business interruption, lost profit or indirect or consequential damages) is limited to the amounts paid for the Service in the preceding twelve months. Liability for intent and gross negligence remains reserved.

9. Data backup

Users are responsible for backing up their own content. The Provider gives no guarantee that data can be restored.

10. Availability and changes

The Provider may develop the Service further and change or restrict individual features. Permanent discontinuation of the Service will be announced with reasonable notice; prepaid, unused amounts will be refunded pro rata. These terms may be amended; the version published on the website applies. Material changes will be announced in advance.

11. Data

What the Service stores and who receives data is described in the privacy policy of aplis AG.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

Swiss law applies exclusively, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is, to the extent permitted by law, the Provider’s registered seat.
