The Provider, at any time, is entitled to perform updates (i.e. extend, supplement or modify FloowiePaper functions) e.g. in the form of prolinks – bars and spaces containing various function shortcuts or information for third parties using FloowiePaper, directly inserted among pages of the User’s Specific Publications, especially with respect to current progress in technologies and technical development, upon the premise that the User shall be able to use updates made accessible to him/her by the Provider FOR FREE.

 

7) The User shall not upload Specific Publications and third party data for a consideration (fulfillment provided by third parties to the User in exchange). In case the User accepts such consideration or the Provider suspects so, the Provider shall be entitled to suspend or block the usage of FloowiePaper and all related services to the User. The Provider is not obliged to compensate the User for any damage or lost profit incurred by the User by such suspension or blocking.

 

8) The User uploads the Specific Publications (including all settings enabled by FloowiePaper) by him-/herself at his/her own expense and he/she may obtain assistance from the Provider for a consideration agreed separately between the User and the Provider in advance, in case the Provider and the User agree to such end mainly with respect to Provider’s capacities.

 

9) By uploading any Specific Publication by the User, no third party rights may be infringed, which is the User’s full liability and obligation to ensure and check; in case the Provider incurs damage as a result of breach of this obligation, the User shall be obliged to compensate for such damage in full. The Provider’s right to compensation for lost profit shall not be affected thereby. The User is accordingly liable for any modifications of Specific Publications made in FloowiePaper after uploading the Specific Publication.

 

Article III. User Account, User Name, PASSWORD

 

1) In order to enable the User using services under the Agreement of Use (if such agreement has been concluded between the Provider and the User) the Provider shall notify the User and assign him/her the unique user name and PASSWORD for access to FloowiePaper administration through the link www.floowie.com/cs.

Article V. Usage of FloowiePaper without Agreement of Use

 

1) Unless an Agreement of Use is concluded between the Provider and the User (note: the Agreement of Use is also a binding order, as mentioned above in Article I. par. 4) hereof), the Provider shall enable the use of FloowiePaper free of charge and only in a limited extent to the User – the User shall not be able to access most of the FloowiePaper functions, in accordance with restrictions determined by the Provider. The User shall be entitled to upload only Specific Publications which readers can access free of charge; such Publications are always displayed publicly on the Portal. Article V. par. 1) hereof shall apply also in case the Agreement of Use was concluded under Article I. par. 2) hereof.

 

a) The User hereby entitles the Provider to insert advertisements to the Specific Publications uploaded by the User (i.e. information from third parties in various forms – texts, images, videos etc.), at the Provider's own discretion and without any consideration paid to the User for such entitlement; in case such claim arises to the User, the amount of such claim shall equal the price for the use of FloowiePaper under this Article, and the User expressly agrees therewith.

 

b) The Provider is not obliged to enable the User using FloowiePaper under this Article and this paragraph hereof and is entitled to prevent the use of FloowiePaper by the User at any time.

 

Article VI. Period of Performance

 

1) The User is provided the right to use FloowiePaper under these Conditions for the period specified in the Agreements of Use. The right to use FloowiePaper by the User is limited with respect to each individual Specific Publication to the period after which the validity of the Specific Publication ends.

 

a) The period of validity of each individual Specific Publication is 730 days of the date of Upload of such Specific Publication.

 

b) After 730 days of the date of Uploading the Specific Publication, the User shall lose the right to any manner of using FloowiePaper for the individual Specific Publication; upon agreement with the Provider and payment of the archiving fee of CZK 10 (in words: ten Czech crowns), such right may be extended with respect to the individual Specific Publication by another 730 days, all this exclusively upon the Provider’s offer or upon individual agreement between the Provider and the User.

 

2) Regarding Users who have not concluded the Agreement of Use and those who may upload a limited number of Specific Publications under such Agreement, the period of using FloowiePaper is limited by the above mentioned validity of the individual Specific Publications, and the period of performance by the Provider shall end upon the expiration of the validity. The last Specific Publication that may be uploaded by the User may be uploaded within three calendar years of the date of the Agreement of Use or of the date of commencement of using FloowiePaper.

 

3) After the termination of effectiveness of these Conditions or of relations constituted by Agreements of Use, as well as upon any expiry of the period for which the User is entitled to use FloowiePaper in the stipulated extent, the Provider shall be automatically entitled (not obliged) to take steps in order to block the User's ability to use one or more or all the FloowiePaper functions.

 

Article VII. Certain Other Rights and Obligations

 

1) The User bears full liability for the contents of any data that are uploaded to FloowiePaper by him/her and for the business impact of such data, and relieves the Provider of all claims of any nature made by third parties in connection with such data; especially of claims made in connection with the provisions on unfair competition, copyright or other legal regulations (Press Act, Act on Non-Periodical Publications, etc.). The User explicitly waives any potential claims toward the Provider arisen in connection with Upload of data to FloowiePaper. The User is also, with respect to the nature and intended use of all the performance provided, the person responsible for discharging all obligations which may, in connection with the use of the FloowiePaper functions, arise against third parties and against state authorities or other entities (authors’ unions and the like). The User undertakes to fully and duly deal with third parties and settle their rights arising from the potential authorship of any data uploaded to FloowiePaper, as well as from possible subsequent dissemination (publishing or disclosure to third parties) of these data by means of using the FloowiePaper functions, and any other third party rights that a third party may have in the data embedded by the User to FloowiePaper or rights related in any manner to such data and their dissemination (publishing or disclosure to third parties). Should a third party get unauthorized access to the data uploaded to FloowiePaper (e.g. by hacking), the person is liable to the User for any problems and damage incurred by the User and third parties as a consequence of such action; the Provider shall, by no means, assume liability for any such problems and damage. The User is also obliged to clearly state his/her identity on any website where the User in any way makes use of any FloowiePaper functions (the same applies to enabling the use of FloowiePaper). This shall be done in a manner determined by applicable legal regulations, including any additional information and warnings which are required by legal regulations effective at the time of the Upload, otherwise it applies that if the User is a legal person, it shall enter: its designation (business name), identification number and registered office. If the User is a natural person, he/she shall enter: name, surname and address (permanent residence).

 

2) If the User breaches any of the above obligations and a third party rightfully asserts a claim against the Provider as a result of such breach, the User undertakes to promptly meet all such claims made by third parties including all rights and obligations associated with these claims. If such claims need to be satisfied by the Provider, the full amount of such claims has to be settled by the User without undue delay after a call made by the Provider. The User's breach of any obligations under this Article is considered a substantial breach of the contractual relation between the Provider and the User and constitutes the Provider’s right to withdraw from any Agreement of Use without further arrangements or to terminate any performance under these Conditions.

 

3) The User is liable for the safety of any of his/her information and passwords which he/she uses for logging in to use FloowiePaper or any service provided by the Provider to the User, and equally, for the safety and protection of the data uploaded by the User to FloowiePaper; and is thus obliged to exert all efforts to prevent any unauthorized person from attaining or disposing of such information, passwords or data. In the case of any suspicion of a possible leakage or loss of information, passwords or data, or in case the User forgets them, the User is obliged to immediately report such an event to the Provider and to change the information and passwords; if such information or passwords are assigned to the User by the Provider, to ask the Provider in writing for the assignment of new passwords. Any problems arisen from the information or password leakage, loss or disremembering shall be borne by the User and shall not affect any service provided by the Provider to the User; the Provider bears liability for the consequences (including potential damage caused to any other person as a result) only if they occurred due to the Provider’s fault.

 

4) The Provider is entitled, in case a state authority, court, arbitrator, arbitration tribunal or another entity or body, by whose ruling or opinion the Provider is bound or affected (such institutions hereinafter referred to as “Enforcement Bodies”) issues a decision that a law or another legal regulation has been violated by anything that represents the content of the User’s Specific Publication or by anything related thereto (particularly in the scope of services provided to the User under Agreements of Use), to promptly take steps in order to block the User's ability to use one or more or all the FloowiePaper functions and services under Agreements of Use. The Provider is particularly entitled to deny access (block) any Specific Publications within the space designated as the “internet”, all that until the reason that caused the Provider to take such steps is ultimately clarified and resolved (in particular, by removing such a reason or by eliminating any harmful consequences that occurred as a result of unblocking), and until it is unequivocally excluded that upon unblocking, any law or any legal regulation is violated. The Provider is entitled to similar rights, as stated above, in case that Enforcement Bodies initiate any proceedings related to the usage of FloowiePaper by the User, or in case the Provider comes to the conclusion that anything that represents the content of the Specific Publication or anything related thereto (particularly in the scope of services provided to the User under Agreements of Use), has violated the law or another legal regulation or an obligation of the User stipulated by these Conditions or by the Agreement of Use, or in case the User is in delay with settlement of any consideration agreed upon between the User and the Provider, while such potential termination of the service shall not affect the amount of consideration for the service provision stipulated between the User and the Provider.

8) The User is not allowed to reproduce or modify in any manner the software settings and FloowiePaper program or anything else that has been made accessible for use by the User pursuant to the Agreement of Use or these Conditions.

9) The Provider and the User expressly agree that the Provider shall bear no liability for potential damage incurred by the User due to errors in transmission of any data, defective functions or lack of any devices, except cases where the above occurred due to willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Provider, and such fact was communicated to the Provider in writing without unnecessary delay after it was ascertained by the User or after it could have been ascertained by the User while exercising due care.

 

10) The Provider may (may not) include an uploaded Specific Publication of the User to the list of categories of Specific Publications displayed on the Portal for the purposes of presentation of such Specific Publication at the Provider’s own discretion. The Provider also may withdraw such inclusion, if the Specific Publication was included into the list of categories, all that under its own decision and will.

 

11) Certain partial provisions of these Conditions may be regulated in another manner by written agreement of the parties and this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof. The Provider reserves the right to make any changes in these Conditions at any time without prior notification of the User. Changes in these Conditions shall become effective as of the date of their publishing on the Portal. In case the User does not notify the Provider in writing that he/she does not agree with the changes in these Conditions within 15 days of publication of the changes, the User shall be deemed to agree with all the changes in these Conditions, and such amended Conditions shall regulate the relation between the User and the Provider.

 

12) Should the User breach any of the provisions hereof, he/she shall be liable to the Provider for the entire damage and lost profit.
