4. By using the Processor's services, the Client does not acquire any intellectual property rights to the Processor's services. These terms do not grant the Client the right to use any trademarks, logos or other identities used in the Processor's services.

5. The Processor provides its services with the utmost professional care. Through the Press.News system, the Client may publish material with any content. The Processor bears no responsibility for the content, its availability, reliability, scope, relevance or other content-related properties. Likewise, the Processor bears no responsibility for any service outage caused by a third party. Furthermore, the Processor bears no responsibility for any lost profits, loss of revenue, any damages, loss of data, etc. In the event of any financial claim against the Processor in the future, the Client acknowledges that the Processor's liability is limited to the maximum amount paid by the Client for the use of the Processor's services in the last 6 months. In all cases, neither the Processor nor its suppliers or distributors shall be liable for any losses or damages that cannot be reasonably foreseen.

6. In connection with the use of services, the Processor may send informational messages, administrative notices or other information to the Client. The Client may cancel the sending of certain information at any time, either by themselves through the Processor's services or by means of an email request addressed to the relevant official contact of the Processor.

7. The Processor's services are also available for mobile devices. The Client (user) shall not use these services in a manner that would distract the Client's attention while driving a motor vehicle. Furthermore, the Client shall not use these services in a manner that would lead to non-compliance with safety regulations and could result in harm to the Client's health or the health of third parties.

8. To use some of the Processor's services, the Client will need to create an account. The Client may create their own account or an account may be assigned to them by an administrator.

9. The Client shall not disclose their password for the Processor's services to anyone. The Client bears full responsibility for all activity conducted through the Client's account. If the Client discovers any unauthorised use of their account, they shall immediately inform the Processor.

10. When using the Processor's services, the Client's personal data (including data of the Client's users) may be processed in accordance with the personal data protection principles and applicable legal regulations, on the basis of the Processor's legitimate interest, within the performance of this Agreement, or for another lawful reason. The Client is entitled to use the services exclusively for their own purposes in accordance with the applicable legal regulations of the Czech Republic and the European Union, in particular Regulation (EU) No. 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (the so-called GDPR). In particular, the Client is not entitled to disseminate or transfer any obtained data to third parties.

11. The Processor grants the Client a licence to use its services in the manner permitted by these GTC. This right is non-exclusive and non-transferable. The Client is not obliged to use the licence.

12. The Client must not copy, modify, distribute, donate, sell or rent any service of the Processor or any part thereof without the written consent of the Processor. It is also prohibited to reverse-engineer the source code or attempt to extract the code.

13. Some of the Processor's services allow the export, sending or storage of content. The intellectual property rights to such content remain the property of the copyright holders.

14. The Client's content (including emails) is analysed by the Processor's automated systems in order for the Processor to offer the Client service features relevant directly to the Client. This analysis occurs during the export, sending and storage of content.

15. The Processor continuously modifies and improves its services. The Processor is entitled to add or remove features on an ongoing basis, suspend or terminate a service at any time, or add new restrictions to the services. The Processor is obliged to resolve any service outages without undue delay. The Client is not entitled to a discount if the total duration of outages does not exceed 48 hours in a calendar month.

16. The Processor's services may be used for the duration of the password validity and/or for the period agreed in the order/contract. Upon expiry of the period agreed in the order/contract, the Client's period is automatically extended for the same period and under the same pricing conditions as in the previous (last) agreed period, and the Client will be issued the relevant invoice, including repeatedly. An automatic extension for another period of the same duration shall not occur if either contracting party delivers a written notice of termination to the other contracting party at least 30 days before the expiry of the agreed period. The length of the automatic extension period is governed by the total length of the period for which the provision of services was ordered, not by the frequency of invoicing. If no specific period for the use of the service is specified in the order/contract, it shall be deemed that the order/contract was concluded for an indefinite period.

17. Orders placed by the Client through Press.News are binding on the Client.

18. The Processor allows the Client to use Press.News services before paying the invoice. The Client may pay invoices by bank transfer or through a payment gateway. In the case of using a payment gateway, the Client will have the relevant tax document available directly in the Press.News service after the successful completion of the payment transaction.

19. The Client is obliged to pay the invoice upon receipt within the proper payment deadline. The late payment interest is 0.05% for each commenced day of delay. In the event that the Processor is forced to send reminders to the Client for an invoice for services provided after the payment deadline has expired, in addition to the aforementioned late payment interest, the Processor is entitled to an administrative fee of CZK 500 for each reminder. In the event of engaging an external company or the services of a lawyer, the Client undertakes to also pay their costs incurred in connection with resolving the Processor's unpaid invoice.

20. By providing an email address in the Processor's services, the Client agrees that the Processor may send a message to this address no more than twice a month with information about new offerings from the Processor or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies. The Client has the right to revoke this consent in writing at any time, and their address (or the user's address) will be promptly deleted from the Processor's database for sending newsletters. This provision does not apply to the sending of content that the Client has defined directly in the Processor's services or that has been defined for the Client based on their request.

21. The service is accessible to the Client 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Processor reserves the right to short-term service outages in the event of service maintenance needs. The Processor shall inform the Client of such outages in advance, if possible.

22. The Client has been informed in advance about the service, its quality, scope and conditions of use. The Client is entitled to make a complaint about the service no later than 14 days from the delivery of the service. Complaints may be submitted in writing to INFOPROFI GROUP s.r.o., Vídeňská 545/76, 148 00 Prague, or electronically to the email [email protected]. The complaint, including the removal of defects, will be resolved without undue delay, no later than within 30 days, with the time limit starting on the day following the complaint about the service. The Client's rights arising from the law are not affected by the complaints procedure. In the event that a service was provided defectively, the Client has the right to have the defect remedied free of charge. If the defect cannot be remedied in this way, the Client has the right to a reasonable discount on the service price.

23. The Processor may occasionally amend these GTC for the provision of services, for example, due to changes in applicable laws or changes to its services. The Processor shall also publish a notice of changes to the GTC on the relevant information page concerning the Processor's services. Changes to new features of a particular service or changes made for legal reasons shall take effect upon publication, with information about such changes being published no later than 30 days before the effective date of the change. If the Client does not agree with the change, they may withdraw from the order with effect as of the effective date of the relevant change. Otherwise, the Client is deemed to have agreed to the change.

24. If there is a conflict between these GTC and additional terms that the Processor and the Client have agreed upon in writing or that form part of the relevant service, the additional terms shall prevail on the conflicting points.

25. These GTC govern the contractual relationship between the Client on one side and the Processor on the other side. If the Client fails to comply with these GTC and the Processor does not immediately implement the necessary measures for various reasons, this does not mean that the Processor waives any rights to which it is entitled.

26. If it becomes apparent in the future that a particular provision of these GTC is not valid, this fact shall not affect any other provision, i.e., the remaining provisions of the GTC shall remain in force.

27. All disputes arising from or relating to these GTC or the services shall be subject to the laws of the Czech Republic. All court disputes regarding claims arising from or in connection with these GTC or the Processor's services shall be conducted exclusively before Czech courts, whose jurisdiction shall be determined according to the Processor's registered office.

28. By using the Processor's services, the Client expressly and without reservation agrees to these GTC. The Client is obliged to familiarise themselves with the GTC before using the service.
