An individual contract concluded between the Provider and the Customer (hereinafter also referred to as the "Contract") may set out the terms and conditions of the provision of web services in a manner that deviates from these GTC. The deviating provisions of the contract shall prevail over the wording of these GTC. Terms used in these GTC have the same meaning throughout the text of the contract.
- These GTC are part of the invoice, advance invoice or contract proposal.
- The parties to the contractual relationship declare and agree that the conclusion, modification or termination of the contract may also be effected by electronic communication.
Art. II. Conclusion of a contract for web services
- The contract must be in writing. Conclusion of the contract in a form other than in writing is excluded.
- The conclusion of the contract occurs at the moment of attaching the signatures of both parties to the contract or by expressing the consent (e.g. in the text of an e-mail message or in the text of a separate order) of the Customer to the Provider's offer, even by means of remote communication (e.g. in the form of a click-wrap).
- For the purposes of these GTC, an offer means a written proposal by the Provider for the conclusion of a contract containing at least the identification of the contracting parties, the scope of the services to be provided (type, number/scope, territory, etc.), the duration of the services, the scope of the license to the deliverables, the amount of the fee, and a reference to these GTC. Any other legal act not containing at least the elements mentioned in the previous sentence is not an offer and does not bind the Provider to any performance.
Art. III. Subject of the web services
- CEDA web services are a set of web-based software tools for using maps and databases. The services are accessible through a web interface, possibly in the form of a Javascript SDK, or in another way specified in the contract, or on the Provider's internal website.
- The description of the individual web services is contained in the contract or on the Provider's website https://developers.ceda.cz/.
- Web services are provided in licensing models based on:
- A. the number of tracked/controlled objects (Asset tracking)
- B. the number of queries for each service (Transactional)
- C. number of users (User)
- D. predefined multilicenses for the organization (Corporate)
- Each of these licensing models can also be provided in an OEM variant with limited use to specific applications or services provided by the Customer to third parties.
Art. IV. Reward and payment terms
- Web services may be provided for a fee or free of charge.
- If the provision of services is for a fee, the Customer is obliged to pay the Provider a fee in the amount agreed in the contract based on the price list of the selected licensing model. In addition to the remuneration, the Client shall pay the Provider value added tax in the amount corresponding to the legal regulations valid and effective on the date of issue of the relevant tax document.
- The Client shall pay the Provider the remuneration for the provision of CEDA services on the basis of a tax document - invoice (hereinafter also referred to as "invoice") issued by the Provider.
- The remuneration is payable within 14 calendar days from the date of delivery of the invoice to the Client, also electronically.
- The invoicing period is the calendar month. If the individual invoiced amount on a single invoice is less than CZK 5,000 excluding VAT, the Provider may extend the invoice period, even repeatedly, so that the stated amount on a single invoice is exceeded. However, the invoice period shall in no case exceed 12 months.
- Payment of the remuneration shall be understood as the crediting of the relevant amount to the Provider's account specified in the contract.
- In the event of a breach of the Client's obligation to pay the Provider the fee, the Provider is entitled to prevent the Client from accessing the Web Services and to withdraw from the contract.
- If the contract is agreed for a period longer than 12 consecutive months and the remuneration is paid repeatedly for a certain period, the Provider is entitled to unilaterally increase the total agreed remuneration for the given period by the increment of the average annual consumer price index announced by the Czech Statistical Office (hereinafter also referred to as "inflation") for the calendar year preceding the year in which the invoice for the given period is to be issued. The Provider is entitled to increase the agreed remuneration by inflation for each calendar year only once. Inflation may be taken into account for all preceding years for which it has not been applied at any time during the term of the contract, provided that in such a case the increases in the average annual consumer price index published by the Czech Statistical Office for the preceding calendar years are added together. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that in the event of a negative inflation rate, the price shall not be reduced.
- The Provider is obliged to notify the Client in writing of the increase of the remuneration according to the previous paragraph no later than with the invoice for the period for which the invoice is issued. The notification must include the rate of inflation, the increased remuneration and the method of calculating the increase in remuneration.
