The granting of the aforementioned rights of use to the receiving user shall end when the transferring user withdraws the rights of use to the motor vehicle profiles from New Horizon.

It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the offers and content (in particular images and other information) posted by the user do not violate any applicable law, these Terms of Use or the rights of other users or third parties.

The User warrants that he is the owner of the rights assigned to New Horizon pursuant to Section VIII and that he is able to effectively grant New Horizon the rights set forth in Section VIII.

X. Trademarks & Trademarks, Licenses

In particular, our brands and trademarks may not be used by the user as described below:

The user is obliged to indicate the source by an easily understandable, legible, directly assigned and fixed reference.

XI. End of use, Termination

The User may terminate the use of the App and the Services at any time and without notice by deleting the App from your terminal device.

Users may terminate the user contract at any time. New Horizon is entitled to terminate the User Agreement at any time with 14 days’ notice to the end of the month.

The right to extraordinary termination remains unaffected. New Horizon’s right to block (see Section XI) shall remain unaffected.

New Horizon will notify the user in a timely manner of the planned deletion using the contact information provided by the user; if the account is then used again, the deletion will not take place.

The termination of the user contract does not affect the validity of any additional services ordered.

XII. Measures

If there are concrete indications that a user culpably violates any legal provisions, the rights of third parties, such as in particular name, copyright and trademark rights, or these Terms of Use, or if New Horizon has any other legitimate interest, in particular to protect other users from fraudulent or other illegal activities, New Horizon shall be entitled to take one or more of the following measures:

  • Warning of the user;

  • Temporary suspension or final deletion of the account, the account status, and/or the other contents of the user;
  • Restriction of the use of the app and/or services by the user.

When selecting a measure, New Horizon shall take into account the legitimate interests of the user concerned, in particular whether there are any indications that the user was not at fault for the violation. Once a user has been finally blocked, there is no right to restore the blocked account. A new registration is then not permitted. 
If New Horizon does not take any measures with regard to a violation of these Terms of Use committed by the User, New Horizon shall not at the same time waive the right to take measures with regard to future or similar violations.

XIII. Availability of the app and services

Please note that the app and/or services are currently partially provided in their beta version. This will be indicated by appropriate notices. As a result, the app and/or services may only be available for use for testing purposes, may not yet be fully set up or implemented, and may still have deficits.

New Horizon reserves the right to extend, improve, or otherwise change the Services offered at any time, including, but not limited to, in the interest of technological advancement and/or to prevent criminal practices or misuse of the App and/or Services. 
New Horizon may use any third party (e.g., cooperation partners) at any time and to any extent to provide the Service.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that the availability and functionality of the app and the services cannot be guaranteed without interruption. The use of the App and the Services may be terminated or removed due to external circumstances or constraints, without any user claim against New Horizon. In particular, this may include technical disruptions, rule changes or decisions by operators of appstores.

XIV. Data protection

You can find our information on data security and data protection here: http://www.gapless.app/gb/data-privacy-policy/. The recipient of data and information provided by users through the App is New Horizon. The data will only be processed for the purposes selected by the user (e.g. registration, profile creation, publication of content, contacting other users).

XV. Liability, Limitation of liability

Claims of the user for damages are excluded. Excluded from this are claims for damages by the User arising from injury to life, limb or health or from the breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) as well as liability for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by New Horizon or its vicarious agents. Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the business partner may regularly rely. 
In the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, New Horizon shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical of the contract if such damage was caused by simple negligence, unless the user’s claims for damages are based on injury to life, limb or health.
New Horizon’s liability under the Product Liability Act and other mandatory statutory liability provisions shall remain unaffected by the foregoing limitations and exclusions of liability.
The foregoing exclusions and limitations of liability shall apply to the same extent to the benefit of New Horizon’s legal representatives, employees and other vicarious agents.

XVI. Notes on the contract language

In the app or the services the languages German and English are available to the user. The contract language for legal transactions and contracts with New Horizon is generally German. The App and/or the Services shall also be displayed in English after the User has made the appropriate selection; however, this shall only affect the determination of the contractual language if the User initiates and executes the entire contract in English or has concluded an express agreement with New Horizon on the validity of a contractual language other than German, at least in text form.

XVII. Conciliation procedure

New Horizon is under no obligation to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body within the meaning of the Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG), nor does New Horizon voluntarily participate in such proceedings.

In order to fulfil our duty to provide information under Regulation (EU) No. 524/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, we refer you to the link to the homepage of the European Commission’s Online Consumer Dispute Resolution Centre, which can be accessed at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Further information on the online settlement of consumer disputes is available at this link.

XVIII. References to applicable law, Place of jurisdiction

The legal relationship between the user and New Horizon shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (BRD) to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If the user acts as a consumer, this shall only apply to the extent that the choice of law does not undermine the protection of mandatory legal provisions of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence. A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly neither be attributed to their commercial nor their self-employed professional activity.

If the user is a merchant or has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the place of jurisdiction for any disputes arising from the business relationship with New Horizon shall be either Bietigheim-Bissingen or the registered office of the user at New Horizon’s option. In such cases, however, Bietigheim-Bissingen shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for legal actions against New Horizon. Mandatory legal provisions on exclusive places of jurisdiction shall remain unaffected by this.

XIX. Severability clause

Should a provision of this contract be void or contestable or be invalid for any other reason, the remainder of the contract shall nevertheless remain valid. The parties are aware that, according to the case-law of the Federal Court of Justice, a severability clause only leads to a reversal of the burden of proof. However, it is the express intention of the parties to maintain the validity of the remaining provisions in any case and, accordingly, to exclude the applicability of § 139 BGB as a whole. In such a case, the contracting parties undertake to replace the void, contestable or ineffective provision by a provision that comes as close as possible to their meaning and guarantees a corresponding economic success.
