1.1. The following Conditions of Use govern the business relationship between the user and Teufelberger Seil Gesellschaft m.b.H. (hereafter abbreviated as “Teufelberger”) in connection with use of the “Ablegereife” app (hereafter abbreviated as “APP”). Use of the app is permitted only providing the user accepts these Conditions of Use as well as the privacy statement, and confirms that he/she neither is a consumer within the meaning of § 1 KSchG (Austrian Consumer Protection Act) nor will he/she use the APP as a consumer within the meaning of § 1 KSchG (Austrian Consumer Protection Act).

 

1.2. The APP serves as a guiding tool to assess the discarding of wire ropes. The calculation results of the rope inspection wizard depend on the data entered by the user.

The APP’s calculation is based on the ISO 4309 standard and provides supporting information on the discarding of wire ropes.

He/she agrees with the separately-issued privacy statement by actively marking the checkbox “I have read and explicitly agree to Teufelberger’s privacy statement”, and confirm not to make use of the APP as a consumer by marking the checkbox “I hereby confirm not to be a consumer within the meaning of §1 KSchG (Austrian Consumer Protection Act) and agree to use the APP as a company, not as a consumer within the meaning of § 1 KSchG”.
