The most recent version of the GTC and supplementary terms and conditions apply, provided that the User does not object to the validity of the new version according to section 10 of these GTC. If AIRMO provides new, updated or amended Products and Services, these GTC and any applicable supplementary terms and conditions also apply to such altered Products and Services. AIRMO’s obligation to provide Products and Services in accordance with the respective applicable Service Agreement remains unaffected.The User, in case of an individual, warrants that it is lawfully able and has the capacity to enter into the Service Agreement (e.g., it is not a minor) and that it is acting in exercise of its trade, business or profession. If any person is entering into the Service Agreement as a representative for an entity, such as the company for which it is working for, such person warrants to AIRMO that the respective entity is duly organized, validly existing and that has legal authority, permission, resolution, or power of attorney to contractually bind that entity.Any general terms and conditions of the User shall not apply.Contractual declarations and notifications to be given by the User in relation to the Service Agreement (such as setting of deadlines, notification of defects, and declaration of withdrawal) must be provided at least in text form (e.g., email, letter) to be effective; this does not apply if AIRMO offers online workflows or functionalities via which the User can make binding contractual declarations and notifications.

Provision of products and services

If not provided for otherwise in the Service Description or applicable supplementary terms and conditions, Products and Services are provided via the Platform and in accordance with the Service Description.Products and Services are provided as a service and not as work, no results are due by AIRMO.AIRMO owes an availability of the Products and Services according to the applicable supplementary terms and conditions and as described in the relevant Service Description, the latter prevailing in case of discrepancies.Availability refers to the User's ability to successfully log in to the Platform and use the Services provided. Products and Services are provided at the point of connection to the internet at the datacentre(s) used by AIRMO for the operation of the Products and Services. The User is solely responsible for providing the access devices (e.g., PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) required for the use of the Products and Services. The Service Description may stipulate minimum requirements for such access devices. If such minimum requirements are not met, resulting degradations, interruptions or other limitations in the usability and availability are not under the responsibility of AIRMO.As far as AIRMO provides free Services and functionalities, these are not contractually owed, unless otherwise explicitly agreed with the User. Free Services may at AIRMO’s sole discretion be changed or discontinued at any time without prior notice.AIRMO will endeavour to offer access to the Platform and provision of Services without any interruptions.
