21.h.

23. Risks
Health Risks
23.a.
Before using ROUVY (and while using ROUVY, if applicable), the User must consult his/her health condition with a physician in relation to the use of ROUVY. The User may begin using ROUVY fully only after such a consultation. If a physician advises the User to refrain from using ROUVY, the User must observe such a medical advice and refrain from using ROUVY. In such a case, the User does not have the right to unilaterally terminate a Subscription and receive a refund for the fee, in full or the proportionate part thereof. The Provider reserves the discretionary right to make a decision regarding the cancellation of the User's Subscription and the issue of a refund, in part or in full, to the User.
23.b.
The use of ROUVY establishes no patient-physician relationship or another similar relationship.
23.c.
Likewise, no ROUVY content whatsoever constitutes health advice. If the User needs medical advice, the User must consult a physician.

Likewise, the User must refrain from using ROUVY content for diagnostic or treatment of medical conditions.
Damage to Property
23.d.
In using ROUVY, the User must follow all of the instructions provided on the ROUVY website (https://rouvy.com), instructions provided directly in the ROUVY application, and third-party instructions, business terms and conditions, and instructions for use of hardware and software. The User has no right to claim from the Provider compensation for any damage whatsoever incurred by the User as a result of failing to comply with the foregoing requirements.
24. Third-Party Content
24.a.
The Provider may provide Third-Party Content in ROUVY. The provision of such Third-Party Content only consists of displaying or intermediating such content via ROUVY.

All actions and communication involving Third-Party Content are carried out directly between the User and the provider of Third-Party Content.
25. Service Availability
25.a.
The Provider guarantees 99% availability of ROUVY to the User. ROUVY availability is assessed on an annual basis.
25.b.
The Provider bears no liability for failing to meet the guaranteed availability if doing so is prevented by force majeure (circumstances precluding liability). Considered force majeure is an event that occurs independently of the Provider's will and prevents the Provider from discharging duties, provided that it cannot be reasonably assumed that the Provider may avert or overcome such an event or its consequences, and, moreover, that the Provider could have foreseen such an event at the time the relevant duties were established. Events meeting the definition of force majeure as per the preceding sentence include, without limitation a) labour strike, if organized by third- parties, b) act of terrorism, c) war, civil and military unrest, blockade, insurrection, vandalism, epidemic, quarantine, state of emergency, d) stroke of lightning, earthquake, fire, storm, flood, landslide, e) events resulting in the declaration of a state of emergency within the meaning of the Energy Act.

The User acknowledges that ROUVY may incorporate supplementary services provided by third parties (such as STRAVA). The Provider in no way guarantees the accuracy, correctness, completeness, and up-to-dateness of information received by the User through the use of such supplementary services, and bears no liability for damage incurred by the User as a result of the unavailability of such services. The unavailability of any of the third-party supplementary services provided through ROUVY is not included in the guaranteed availability laid down in the BTC.
25.d.
If availability fails to meet the guaranteed value, the User is entitled to compensation in the form of a discount equal to the part of the Subscription fee applicable to the time during which ROUVY is not available. The maximum value of discount is equal to the monthly Fee for the applicable Subscription.
Internet Connectivity
25.e.
The Provider bears no liability whatsoever for the availability of ROUVY via the Internet, considering that the Internet is a decentralized network, subject to no third- party guarantees. Service may be subject to limits, delays, and other problems caused by the use of the Internet and electronic communication. The Provider bears no liability for such delays, system operation errors, and other adverse phenomena caused by such limits.
25.f.
Furthermore, the guaranteed availability as per the BTC does not include Internet failure affecting the User. The User is solely responsible for his/her Internet connection, which is required for using ROUVY.
26. Limitation of Liability
Prevention of Damage
26.a.
Both the User and the Provider must make maximum effort to prevent damage and to minimize damage that occurs.
Duty to Notify
26.b.
The User and the Provider must inform one another without unnecessary delay of any event constituting force majeure that prevents the due performance of the ROUVY Use Agreement. The Parties must use maximum effort to avert and overcome any event constituting force majeure.
Exclusion of Liability
26.c.
The Provider bears no liability for damage not thereby caused, including, without limitation, damage caused by a combination of external factors, computer infiltrations, different software, hardware, and use, or, as the case may be, non-use, or the impossibility to use the Software as a result of such factors. The Provider bears no liability for harm/damage incurred as a result of or in direct connection with the incorrect use of ROUVY. Neither of the Parties is liable for damage incurred as a result of factually incorrect or otherwise erroneous instructions received from the Counterparty. Neither of the Parties is liable for default caused by the Counterparty’s default on the discharge of the obligations thereof. Without limitation, where applicable, the Provider bears no liability for:
26.c.i.
non-functionality, non-availability, or poor availability of the Software caused by facts for which the Provider is not at fault (such as deficiencies in Internet connectivity, etc.);
26.c.ii.
leak of information and data from the ROUVY environment caused by facts for which the Provider is not at fault (such as the disclosure of sign in data by the Client, etc.);
26.c.iii.
damage or loss of data caused by facts for which the Provider is not at fault.
26.d.
The User may be held liable for damage or harm after the termination of the Agreement between the Provider and the User.
Scope of Liability
26.e.
The Provider bears no liability for indirect consequences of damage incurred, such as loss of profit, lost revenue, third-party claims, data lost or damaged in a way other than at the Provider’s fault, the consequences of the foregoing, etc. By way of derogation from Section 2952 of the Civil Code, the Provider will pay no compensation for a loss of profit, any expenses incurred as a result of a violation of the Provider’s duties, and any subsequent damage or harm.
Limit on Compensation Claims
26.f.
The Provider’s total liability to the User as per the ROUVY Use Agreement is limited to the sum of fees received by the Provider from the User in the 12 months preceding the origination of a liability claim. Compensation for damage has the form of financial payment only.
26.g.
The User’s total liability to the Provider as per the ROUVY Use Agreement is unlimited, unless otherwise specified in the BTC. Laws in effect may limit or preclude liability for damage and harm claimed against the User. Nevertheless, the User acknowledges that a situation may occur where the User will be required to compensate the Provider for damage or harm up to the highest allowable amount.
Force Majeure
26.h.
Neither of the Parties is liable for a violation of its duties arising under the ROUVY Use Agreement, if the duties are prevented from being discharged by force majeure.
Force majeure means any extraordinary unforeseeable event or situation beyond the control of the Parties, which prevents either of them from discharging any or their obligations arising under the BTC, is not caused by an error or negligence on their part, insofar as it is demonstrated that such an event or circumstance cannot be overcome using any and all due care. A Party that violates its obligations may not claim defects or defaults upon the manifestation thereof (unless they are caused by force majeure), labour dispute, labour strike, and financial difficulties as events constituting force majeure.
27. Protection of the User's Personal Data

The terms and conditions pertaining to the protection of the User’s personal data, insofar as the Provider acts as a controller of the User’s personal data, are laid down in the Privacy Policy that can be found at https://rouvy.com/privacy-policy (“Privacy Policy”). The Privacy Policy constitutes part of the BTC.
27.b.

29.e.
If any code licensed as "FOSS" is incorporated in ROUVY (Free and Open Source Software), the license for the use thereof is subject to the license granted under the applicable EULA.

30.b.
In the framework of a Subscription, the User may receive Virtual Objects. In such a case, the User is only granted the right to use such Virtual Objects. Hence, the use of ROUVY does not transfer any Virtual Objects to the User's ownership. Under the BTC, the User may only gain a limited right to use such Virtual Objects while his/her right to use ROUVY remains in effect.
30.c.
The terms and conditions for obtaining and using Virtual Objects are displayed directly in the ROUVY application. These terms and conditions may be changed during the term of the ROUVY Use Agreement without serving a prior notice on the User.
30.d.
The User may use Virtual Objects only while his/her right to use ROUVY remains in effect, that is while the User has full access to ROUVY (the use of a Subscription). If the User does not have access to ROUVY, particularly due to the fact that the User does not have the applicable Subscription or does not pay the ROUVY Usage Fee for the applicable Subscription, the Provider may prevent the User’s access to obtained Virtual Objects. Likewise, the Provider may reduce or prevent the User's access to Virtual Objects if the operation of ROUVY is restricted or terminated.
