Terms of Use
These terms of use govern the use of Garage Booster (https://www.garage-booster.com), provided by Stratos Technologies AG ("we", "us"). They apply to everyone who uses Garage Booster with a user account ("you"), in particular the staff of garages.
1. Scope
We provide Garage Booster to a company that has concluded an agreement with us (the "Client") and makes Garage Booster available to the garages connected to it. Prices, payment, service levels and all other commercial terms are governed exclusively by that agreement. If these terms of use conflict with the agreement with the Client, the agreement takes precedence.
By logging in, you accept these terms of use. If you use Garage Booster on behalf of a garage, you confirm that you are authorised to do so.
2. Your user account
- User accounts are created by the Client or by your garage. Your account is personal and must not be shared with others.
- Keep your login details secret and use a secure password. If you suspect that someone else has access to your account, inform your garage or us immediately.
- You are responsible for activities carried out with your account, unless you are not at fault.
- Keep the details in your account accurate and up to date.
3. Permitted use
You may use Garage Booster only for your garage's business purposes, in particular to create, manage and send offers to the garage's customers. You must not:
- enter or send unlawful, misleading or offensive content;
- send messages to people who have no customer relationship with the garage, or use Garage Booster for advertising or newsletters;
- circumvent security measures, access other accounts or data without authorisation, or test the application for vulnerabilities without our permission;
- copy, modify, decompile or reverse engineer the software, except where the law expressly permits it;
- access Garage Booster by automated means (such as scraping or bots) or overload it;
- make Garage Booster available to third parties or resell it.
4. Customer data and offers
Your garage is responsible for the data it enters about its customers and for the messages it sends through Garage Booster. In particular, the garage must ensure that it is allowed to use this data for offers, that its customers are informed about the processing (for example in the garage's own privacy notice), and that contact details are correct.
We process customer data only on behalf of the Client and the garages, on the basis of our agreement with the Client and its data protection provisions. More information is in our privacy policy.
Offers are made by the garage. Any contract that results from a customer approving an offer is made exclusively between the garage and its customer. We are not a party to it and are not responsible for the content of offers, prices or the work carried out.
5. Parts and price data
Garage Booster shows parts and price information from third-party providers, in particular TecAlliance. We select these sources carefully, but we cannot guarantee that the information is correct, complete or up to date, or that a part fits a specific vehicle. Check this information before you send an offer.
6. Availability and changes to the application
We aim for high availability, but we cannot guarantee that Garage Booster will always be available or free of errors. Maintenance may cause interruptions, which we announce in advance where possible. Whether SMS and emails are delivered depends on third-party networks, so we cannot guarantee delivery.
We continue to develop Garage Booster and may change, add or remove functions, as long as this is consistent with the agreement with the Client.
7. Intellectual property
Garage Booster, including its software, design and content, belongs to us or our licensors. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Garage Booster for as long as you have access to it and in accordance with these terms of use. The data entered by you or your garage remains with the garage and the Client.
8. Suspension and termination
Your access ends when the Client or your garage deletes your account, or when the agreement with the Client ends. We may temporarily suspend your access if there are indications of misuse, a security risk or a breach of these terms of use. We will inform the Client or your garage about this.
9. Liability
Our liability towards the Client is governed by the agreement with the Client. Towards users, we are liable, to the extent permitted by law, only for intent and gross negligence. In particular, we are not liable for the correctness of third-party data (such as parts and prices), for the delivery of messages by third-party networks, or for decisions made on the basis of information in Garage Booster. Mandatory statutory liability remains unaffected.
10. Privacy
Information on how we process personal data is available in our privacy policy.
11. Changes to these terms of use
We may amend these terms of use. We will inform you of changes in the application or by email at least 30 days TODO: confirm notice period (must match the client contract) before they take effect, unless a change is required by law or for security reasons at shorter notice. If you continue to use Garage Booster after the changes take effect, you accept them.
12. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms of use are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Zurich, Switzerland, subject to any mandatory place of jurisdiction provided by law.
13. Final provisions
If any provision of these terms of use is or becomes invalid, the remaining provisions remain in force. Questions about these terms of use can be sent to info@stratos-tech.ch.
