4. Use of the aleno Restaurant Management System

4.1 Creation of User Accounts

The Account Holder may, at its sole discretion, determine which Users shall have access to the Application and may create personal or shared User Accounts for each User. The Account Holder can define the access rights for each User Account individually. For compliance reasons, the Account Holder is recommended to limit the User’s access to the Data that is actually required for the provision of their services (privacy by design).

The Users that are authorized to access the Application by the Account Holder shall be considered to be auxiliary persons of the Account Holder. The activities of the individual Users shall be attributed to the Account Holder and the Account Holder shall be responsible for these actions as if they were carried out by the Account Holder. These Terms of Use are not intended for the benefit of the Users who shall explicitly not be considered to be third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use. The Users shall therefore have no right to make any contractual claims against the Provider under these Terms of Use.

 

4.2 Determination of Capacity

To use the aleno restaurant management system, the Account Holder or authorized Users must manually enter the capacity of each Registered Restaurant by defining the applicable shift schedule and the number of Guests that can be served during each shift. The Provider does not assume any liability for the correctness and appropriateness of the capacity information of the Registered Restaurants that is entered by the Account Holder.

 

4.3 Acceptance of Online Reservations (aleno Widget)

The aleno widget enables the Account Holder to accept online reservations for the Registered Restaurants and to automatically register these reservations via the Application. The aleno widget consists of a simple software code that can be embedded in any website by the Account Holder. The integration instructions for the software code to use the aleno widget are available in the help center which is integrated in the Application. If the software code for the aleno widget is embedded in the website of a third party, the Account Holder is required to obtain such third party’s consent.

The Account Holder acknowledges that the automatic registration of online reservations via the Application is not possible without embedding the software code. The Account Holder further acknowledges that the software code is subject to copyright protection and may not be modified or used for other purposes without the prior written consent of the Provider.

 

4.4 Manual Registration of Direct Reservations

The Application enables authorized Users to accept Direct Reservations and manage them via the Application. In contrast to online reservations, Direct Reservations must be registered manually. The Account Holder acknowledges that the functionality of the reservation system depends on the complete manual registration of all Direct Reservations. The Provider assumes no liability for the accuracy and content of Direct Reservations that are registered manually and does not warrant that the manual registration of Direct Reservations will not result in overbooking or multiple bookings.

 

4.5 Management of Reservations

The Application enables authorized Users to manage registered reservations. The Account Holder acknowledges that reservations are binding, and that its customers rely on the fact that the reservations can actually take place. The Provider does not warrant that reservations can be changed at short notice. If a reservation cannot be kept, the Account Holder is responsible for contacting and informing the respective customer accordingly.

 

5. Data Processing by the Provider

5.1 Principles

To provide the Services under these Terms of Use, the Provider is required to process the Data as described below. A detailed description of the individual data processing activities and the data that is processed by the Provider can be found in the Privacy Policy.

 

5.2 Collection of Data by the Provider

To create the Main Account, the Account Holder is required to provide the Account Data requested by the Provider. The Account Data transmitted to the Provider will be processed exclusively for the purposes set forth in the Privacy Policy.

 

5.3 Collection of Data by the Account Holder

When using the Application, the Account Holder and the individual Users will collect a variety of Data that will be processed by the Provider according to the principles set forth in the Privacy Policy. The Account Holder acknowledges that the Provider does not assume any responsibility or liability for the content, accuracy or completeness of the Data that is collected by the Account Holder or the individual Users.

To the extent that the collection of Data by the Account Holder or the individual Users falls within the scope of the GDPR, the Account Holder shall be regarded as the data controller, whereas the Provider shall be regarded as a data processor pursuant to the GDPR. This means that the Account Holder and the Provider are legally required to conclude a separate Data Processing Agreement. The Data Processing Agreement of the Provider can be accessed and concluded via this link: https://www.aleno.me/en/policy#dataprocessingagreement.

 

6.  Data Storage and Backup

The Data collected by the Provider and the Account Holder is not stored on the servers of the Provider but directly transferred to and store on the servers of the Cloud Hosting Provider. The database is backed up by the Cloud Hosting Provider automatically and in real time. The server infrastructure of the Cloud Hosting Provider is designed to ensure that the Data is available to the Account Holder and the individual Users at all times and that the productive servers can take over in the event of a failure of the main instance.

To the extent that the data processing activities of the Provider fall within the scope of the GDPR, the Cloud Hosting Provider is considered a sub-processor of the Provider. Accordingly, the Cloud Hosting Provider is mentioned on the list of subcontractors, which is publicly available via the aleno helpdesk. The Provider reserves the right to change the Cloud Hosting Provider without prior notice to the Account Holder and to inform the Account Holder about such change by updating the list of subcontractors.

 

7. Subscription Fee and Payment

7.1 Subscription Fee

In consideration of the use of the Application and the Services provided by the Provider, the Account Holder undertakes to pay to the Provider the Subscription Fee agreed upon in the Subscription Agreement concluded between the Parties. If the Account Holder registers multiple restaurants in his Main Account, each Registered Restaurant will be accounted for separately. The Provider has the right to suspend individual Registered Restaurant if the Account Holder defaults on the payment of the Subscription Fee associated with them.

 

7.2 Taxes

The Subscription Fee is exclusive of value-added tax (VAT). If VAT is applicable, it will be added to the Subscription Fee and must be paid separately by the Account Holder. The Provider is not responsible for any tax obligations arising from the use of the Application and the Services as well as the payment of the Subscription Fee by the Account Holder.

 

7.3 Payment of the Subscription Fee

Unless otherwise agreed upon between the Parties, the Subscription Fee shall be paid on a monthly basis and in Euro (EUR). All payments are made with the credit card that is registered in the Main Account. The Provider has no access to the credit card information of the Account Holder. Alternative payment methods can be agreed upon individually in substantiated cases.

 

7.4 Default on Payment

The Provider is entitled to suspend access to the Application and the provision of the Services if the Subscription Fee is overdue. The Provider is also entitled to charge the Account Holder interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 5% per year without notice. Interest shall accrue daily until the date on which the Subscription Fee is paid in full and shall be compounded at the end of each calendar month.

 

7.5 No Right to Offset

The Parties mutually waive their statutory right of offset. The offsetting of the Subscription Fee against any applicable counterclaims of the Account Holder does therefore require the prior written consent of the Provider.

 

8. Engagement of Subcontractors

The Provider has the right to engage subcontractors to fulfil its obligations or to assign its obligations to one or more third parties at its sole discretion. If subcontractors or third parties are given access to confidential information, the Provider must ensure that they are contractually obliged to comply with any applicable confidentiality obligations. The Provider remains responsible for the provision of the Services and is liable for the damages that are caused by such subcontractors or third parties as if the Provider had acted itself.

 

9. Intellectual Property Rights in Protected Content

The content provided by the Provider (Protected Content) is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and other laws for the protection of Intellectual Property. The Protected Content can be changed by the Provider at any time at its sole discretion and is provided to the Account Holder solely for the purpose of using the Services. Any use of the Protected Content beyond this purpose constitutes a material breach of these Terms of Use.

 

10. References

The Provider is entitled to use the logo and the business name of the Account Holder and the logos and names of the Registered Restaurants as a reference. Typically, the Provider uses this information on the Website and in connection with internal and external presentations or events. Additional advertising by the Provider in connection with the business relationship with the Account Holder requires the written consent of the Account Holder.

 

11. Force Majeure

If an event of force majeure prevents the Provider from fulfilling its obligations, it shall be relieved of these obligations. The Account Holder shall be released from its obligations to the extent and for as long as the Provider is prevented from performing its obligations due to force majeure.

Force majeure is an external, unforeseeable event that cannot be averted or prevented in good time, even by applying reasonably expected care and technically and economically reasonable means. This includes, in particular, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, power failure, failure of telecommunications connections, strikes and lockouts, provided that the lockout is lawful, or legal provisions or measures taken by the government or by courts or authorities (irrespective of their legality).

The Provider must notify the Account Holder immediately and inform the Account Holder of the reasons for the force majeure and its expected duration. The Provider will endeavor to use all technically possible and economically justifiable means to ensure that it is able to resume the performance its obligations as soon as possible.

 

12. Limited Warranty

The Service Provider warrants that it complies with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements in connection with the provision of the Services in connection with the Application. The Service Provider also warrants that the Licensed Technology and the Protected Content does not contain any worms, Trojan horses, spyware, adware or other malicious software programs.

 

13. Limitation of Liability

The Provider and the Account Holder are liable for all damages they cause to one another in connection with these Terms of Use. Both Parties can discharge themselves from this liability by proving that they are not at fault.

Liability for slight negligence is excluded, as far as legally permissible. For direct damages resulting from a breach of contract, the Parties are liable, as far as legally permissible, only up to the amount of CHF 50'000.00. Liability for indirect damages, consequential damages and loss of profit is excluded, as far as legally permissible. Any contributory negligence of a Party shall be credited to such Party. Unless otherwise expressly stipulated, all claims for damages shall become statute-barred within 5 years.

 

14. Changes to Terms of Use

The Provider reserves its right to adapt or amend these Terms of Use at any time and without prior notice. In the event of changes, the revised Terms of Use will be published on the Website without delay. The date on which the Terms of Use were last amended can be found in the introductory note.

In order for changes to these Term of Use to become effective, they must be accepted by the Account Holder within the period set by the Provider. For this reason, the Account Holder may be asked to accept the amended Terms of Use when logging into the Main Account. If the Account Holder does not accept the amended Terms of Use within the period set by the Provider, the Provider has the right to suspend the Account Holder's access to the Application and the provision of the Services.

 

15. Miscellaneous

15.1 Severability

If gaps arise in the practical application of these Terms of Use which the Parties have not provided for, or if the invalidity of a provision is determined by law or by agreement between the Parties, the Parties undertake to fill or replace such gap or invalid provision in a reasonable manner which is oriented towards the economic purpose of the cooperation.

 

15.2 No Partnership

This contract is based on performance and consideration. The contractual relationship as a whole and the individual provisions of these Terms of Use shall not be qualified or interpreted as a joint venture or any similar relationship. In particular, the Account Holder and the Provider do not intend to establish a simple partnership.

To use the Custom Audiences function, we integrated the so-called Facebook pixel into our Website. The Facebook pixel is a piece of code that communicates with Facebook and allows us to optimize our advertising campaigns.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements ("Facebook Ads"). Thus, we use the Facebook Pixel to display our Facebook Ads only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our offer or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) which we transmit to Facebook. With the help of the Facebook pixel we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not appear annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of our Facebook Ads for statistical purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook Ad ("Conversion").

The Facebook pixel is integrated directly by Facebook when you call up our Websites and can store a cookie on your system, provided that you have agreed to the setting of marketing cookies. If you subsequently log in to Facebook or visit Facebook when logged in, the visit to our online offer will be noted in your Facebook profile. The data collected about you is anonymous to us, so we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and can be used by Facebook as well as for our own market research and advertising purposes. If we should transmit data to Facebook for comparison purposes, this data is encrypted locally in the browser and only then sent to Facebook via a secure connection. This is done solely for the purpose of comparison with the data encrypted by Facebook.

You have the option of deactivating the Custom Audiences function for this and other websites at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_=_. However, you must be logged in to Facebook to do this. You can find more information on how Facebook handles personal data in the Facebook Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
