Part II: Special Conditions for purchasing the game software CLUETIVITY® by Life Action Games

These special conditions are governing the acquisition of game software licenses (hereinafter “CLUETIVITY® licenses”) for the server and web applications, applications for mobile devices and applications available on the CLUETIVITY® web pages, as well as for specific games (hereinafter ” CLUETIVITY® missions”) between the Life Action Games GmbH (hereinafter “Licensor”) and the Business customer/contractor (hereinafter “license holder”). The game software CLUETIVITY® is licensed, not properly sold. The use of the mobile apps themselves are free of charge.

Subject of the license

The licensor developed the game software CLUETIVITY® for sales of individual games and game events to end users and corporate customers, as part of team building events and entertaining events, performed by the license holder. For the game software CLUETIVITY® the following CLUETIVITY® missions are currently available: The modern treasure hunts “The Magic Portal” and “Operation Mindfall” for the iPad. The provider is constantly working to develop more CLUETIVITY® missions, each assigned a single license, unless otherwise specified in the offer or the product description. The game software CLUETIVITY® mentioned below refers to the previously mentioned specifically CLUETIVITY® missions and territory, acquired by the license holder.   The license holder acquires a CLUETIVITY® license limited for the use for CLUETIVITY® given missions.   CLUETIVITY® is operated and provided by the licensor as a web-based SaaS or cloud solution. The license holder is allowed to use CLUETIVITY®, which is available as mobile apps free of charge to use with Internet connection during the license period, its own data stored and processes.   (4) Upgrades to other versions of these services, to new, not yet available services are not covered by these license terms. The licensor may provide the license holder with later versions of CLUETIVITY® chargeable or free of charge, at its own discretion. Also, the licensor is entitled to ask for a fee or free of charge, new CLUETIVITY® mission, which is not part of the license agreement, if not otherwise specified in the product description or offer.   (5) Installation and configuration services, adaptation of games to the needs of the Licensee or the creation of individual games (Customizing) and software training and beyond the normal operation consultancy are generally not subject to these terms and conditions, but can be agreed separately as an agreement between the parties or defined as part of the offer or the terms of reference.   Nature and Extent of the License

The licensor is offering several different licensing products for different use cases: a. BASIC FLAT (license) b. CITY FLAT (license) 3. CUSTOM GAME (license) The specific descriptions of different licenses can be found in Part III of the Conditions.   The Licensor shall provide the License holder that acquired CLUETIVITY ™ licenses for the router output of the data center, where the server of the licensor with CLUETIVITY® is located (” transfer date”) available for use.   Unless CLUETIVITY® is ran exclusively on the servers of the licensor or service providers acting on their behalf, the purchaser receives as part of the license term a non-exclusive, non-transferable, timely and eventually spatially limited right to install CLUETIVITY® on the screen of the computer and to save it in the main memory of the terminal according to the terms of the contract.   The use is limited per license on up to 100 devices for the CITY FLAT license and up to 10 devices for the BASIC FLAT license when it is not otherwise described in the offer or in the tender specifications (Part III of the current Terms). The “devices” mean mobile devices, such as tablets, smartphones, laptops, iPads etc.   The License holder is authorized to use the acquired CLUETIVITY® license via terminals on which the software is installed, made available to third parties. The license holder, however, it is not allowed to sell, lend, rent, or license in any other public way the license to third parties. For this, the licensor can grant the licensee separately in a written contract. This issue is regulated through a separate assessment.   The acquired CLUETIVITY® licenses are usually tied to a specific territory or location, country, city, county or given coordinates as described in the product description on our website or the paragraph “Territorial Extension” in this license agreements. The license holder is allowed to use CLUETIVITY® only within this territory. The license holder is obligated to use CLUETIVITY® for the specific events and occasions the license was requested. The CITY FLAT license is usually available for a city or a county, specifically listed on the order email confirmation, invoice or listed in the paragraph “Territorial Extension” in this license agreement. The BASIS FLAT license is only permitted for use on a very concrete private area. The concrete private area is communicated to the Licensor by telephone or by e-mail by the license holder at the beginning of the use. The use must not violate third part rights. The use is limited by the licensor to this specific area. For use of CLUETIVITY® to another or several properties, the license holder must purchase additional BASIS FLAT licenses. The use of BASIS FLAT license in publicly accessible areas is not allowed. This is only possible within the CITY FLAT license. The private area for the using of the BASIS FLAT license is outside of cities. Following a specific agreement with the licensor, an extended use of the license may be permitted outside the private area, to a certain extent. However, the consent of the licensor is necessary.   In case the license holder is against any of the foregoing provisions, all rights of use issued under these provisions are becoming immediately obsolete and automatically returned to the licensor. In this case, the license holder shall immediately and fully stop using the software.   The Licensor will endeavor not to duplicate already licensed cities for specific, so-called “exclusive” missions (such as the Mission Magic Portal) when granting CITY FLAT licenses, thus preserving the exclusivity of a licensee in a particular area. Regarding the CITY FLAT license, Licensor agrees to award the following maximum number of CITY FLAT licenses per city for a specific “exclusive” mission (e.g., Magic Portal), depending on the number of population/residents:   <1.000.000 Inhabitants = 1 License 1.000.001 till 2.000.000 Inhabitants = 3 Licenses 2.000.001 till 5.000.000 Inhabitants = 5 Licenses 5.000.001 till 7.500.000 Inhabitants = 10 Licenses 7.500.001 till unlimited inhabitants = 15 or more licenses   This restriction applies only in the case of the CITY FLAT licenses and does not apply to BASIS FLAT licenses or CUSTOM GAME licenses or other available or future licenses of the licensor.   In addition, the licensor grants the licensee the use of the team building events for companies in the area and for the missions included in the contract. Licensor further grants Licensee the use of the predefined CLUETIVITY® Missions offered under the CITY FLAT license and distributed by the Licensee to end users or corporate customers through Teambuilding events in this area. The area is defined by the official city or state borders, unless otherwise stipulated in additional agreements. This CITY FLAT license restriction applies ONLY to specific pre-made CLUETIVITY® missions.

  • New Exclusive and Non-Exclusive CLUETIVITY® Missions and Preemption Option: CLUETIVITY® CITY FLAT missions other than those specified in this agreement are NOT part of a CITY FLAT licensed license unless otherwise agreed in writing between the licensees. CLUETIVITY® strives to develop new CITY FLAT missions every year. These missions can be classified and offered by CLUETIVITY® as “exclusive missions” or “non-exclusive missions”. The licensor seeks to co-operate per city up to a city size of 1,000,000 inhabitants in an ideal case with a single partner in relation to all “exclusive CLUETIVITY® CITY FLAT missions”. In larger cities, in contrast to the above number of CITY FLAT licenses, an additional agreement between the license partners may be agreed in writing.
    For example, “non-exclusive” CITY FLAT missions may be games for specific target groups that can be offered and operated in multiple locations within a city or indoor. The classification of which game is considered “exclusive” and “non-exclusive” is the sole responsibility of the licensor. For example, the licensor classifies EINSTEIN UNSOLVED as a non-exclusive game. Because this is an indoor game, Licensor does not count it as a classic CITY FLAT mission. It is therefore the sole responsibility of the licensor to decide under which license terms he offers “non-exclusive missions”.
    For “exclusive CITY FLAT missions” the licensor grants the licensee a pre-emption option. For cities with a population of up to 1 million, the licensor will offer the licensee the new “exclusive CITY FLAT Mission” at conditions, license terms and prices set by CLUETIVITY®. The offer can be made in writing, orally or electronically. The licensee has 30 days to acquire the license for the new mission. If the licensee does not acquire the CLUETIVITY® CITY FLAT license for the new “exclusive mission” within this time, CLUETIVITY may sell a new CLUETIVITY® CITY FLAT license for the new mission to another licensee. This applies regardless of the city size. For larger cities, the pre-emptive option does not apply, as there may be multiple licensees, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties. The pre-purchase option expires automatically 35 days before expiry of the contract.
    Excluded from any terms and conditions in this License Agreement are all CITY FLAT missions developed in conjunction with another rightholder or based on a third party IP (Intellectual Property / Trademark / Other). In this case, the licenser specified here is subject to the respective provisions of the IP contract or the licensing terms of its IP licensor / partner and may, at its discretion, deviate from this license agreement.
  • The base price of the licence fee of a CITY FLAT licence for a specific location is calculated and determined by the licensor on the basis of various parameters. The base price is defined here as the “minimum value” of the licence for a given area. This base price may also be lower than the actual value, depending on the case and situation for a given term. The licensor develops a solid basis for the economic success of the licensee with the CLUETIVITY platform, new games, software updates and new products. In addition, the licensor supports the licensee with support, marketing know-how and hardware to build up his business professionally. Within the framework of a successful cooperation with its partners over several years, the licensor strives for a WIN-WIN situation in the long term, in which the licensor also participates in the success together with the licensee. If the estimated sales of the licensee with the licensor’s products develop correspondingly positively, the licensor shall strive for a correspondingly adjusted higher licence fee for the future cooperation. This targeted royalty can be equivalent to a percentage share of the licensee’s potential turnover with the licensor’s products amounting to approx. 20%. For this purpose, the licensor will evaluate the licensee’s performance accordingly together with the licensee. This adjusted licence fee may also include additional games, new software features or technical enhancements.   
  • The licensee of a CITY FLAT license is allowed to cooperate with, for example, event agencies. These cooperations can be arranged in the forwarding of bookings to the licensee. The licensee of a CITY FLAT license, without the consent of the licensor, is generally not allowed to enter into long-term paid contracts with other companies in which CLUETIVITY products or games are part of the contract. However, upon request of the licensee, the licensor may give its written consent to cooperation between the licensee and various partners. In this case, Part I §3 paragraph (3) of these conditions may not be violated. Sublicensing of CLUETIVITY® or games or tours created with CLUETIVITY® is not allowed. Cooperation with hotels, hotel resorts, campgrounds, parks, climbing parks, castles, castles, resorts, amusement parks and all other similar leisure, tourism and event companies that have their own private grounds and guests or visitors is with the CITY FLAT license is not permitted and requires the consent of the licensor.

Life Action Games has the right to sell the rights in areas of CITY FLAT BASE FLAT in areas of CITY FLAT or other license holders. The use of BASIS FLAT is limited within the area of a CITY FLAT on the private property of the license holder of a BASIS FLAT license.   The license holder is not allowed to use CLUETIVITY® for advertising purposes, particularly in the context of games for corporate applications, product events or otherwise marketing events of a third company, provided that the licensor has not granted permission in writing. Example of such an event where the use is not permitted: The company Audi introduces a new model of car, Audi XZ. As part of this launch event, Audi organized a rally across Germany, in which the CLUETIVITY® software is used. For these promotional events, a separate licensed by Life Action Games GmbH is required and is not covered by the basic CITY FLAT license.

3. White-Label-Option

The white label option is an additional option available. It can be purchased directly through the normal ordering process or booked separately later. The white label option applies to the entire duration of the CITY FLAT or BASIS FLAT and cannot be paid monthly. After acquiring the white label, this option becomes part of the license. The remaining provisions apply.
The white label option allows the user to mark the missions with their own brand. The licensor provides the licensee with the right to replace the logo of the licensor in the start and end trailer of the game and the advertising trailer with the logo of the licensee. In addition, the licensee acquires the right to use marketing materials of his own logo.

Marketing and Advertising; Using CLUETIVITY®- Advertising materials

The licensor grants the licensee the right to revoke the promotional and marketing materials provided by the licensor for the communication measures within the meaning of these license conditions for the duration of the license term. The licensee is prohibited from offering marketing services or any other services (such as consulting or setting up games on site) and marketing Cluetivity missions or games created with Cluetivity to other Cluetivity licensing partners or having similar contractual relationships with them without the written consent of the licensor to enter this.
Licensee may operate offline marketing activities (such as distributing flyers, placing posters, displaying in local print media, etc.) only within its defined license area of Cluetivity City Flat. This also serves to protect the licensee himself. The promotion of missions for non-licensed territories is not permitted and requires the Licensor’s written consent.
For the duration of the license period, the licensor grants the license holder the revocable right to use the promotional and marketing materials provided by the licensor for the purpose communication activities additional to the license conditions.   The license holder, independently of a white label option, is committed to mention on all occasions the CLUETIVITY® brand. For this purpose, the licensor is obliged to integrate the following text to its website, ” … in cooperation with CLUETIVITY® (www.CLUETIVITY.com)”. In addition, the license holder is obliged in all press releases, or other public presentations related to CLUETIVITY® software to mention the name of the software. The license holder is prohibited to promote CLUETIVITY® software or games as its own software or to publish additional materials without this mention. The licensee is not permitted Internet domains or company names that contain the mark “Cluetivity” (eg www.cluetivity-games-uk.com) or the name of a cluetivity mission (eg www.magic-portal-detuschland.de) to register or operate. Furthermore, the licensing partner is not permitted to copy the website texts of the licenser 1: 1 and use them on his website. The licensor endeavors to provide corresponding product descriptions or texts for missions.

Duration and Customer Assistance

The license is usually granted for a period of 12 months, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The start of the contract is in each case the day of the order or the order confirmation on the acquisition of the license or the summary of the order on the websites of the licensor. The licensee has the right of first refusal to renew the acquired CITY FLAT license at the conditions of the services provided by the licensor at that time up to 30 days before expiry of the license. As the performance of the Software and CLUETIVITY® Missions may change during the license term, Licensor may, at its discretion, adjust the terms of renewal of the CITY FLAT licenses. If the licensee does not fulfill the right of first refusal of the right of first refusal up to 30 days before expiry of the license, the licensor shall be free to assign the license to a new licensee. After expiration of the license term of e.g. 12 months, the contract is extended indefinitely. He is then with a period of one week at the middle and at the end of a calendar month from both sides properly terminable. Notwithstanding Licensor’s applicable licensing terms, the licensee will no longer have pre-emption rights or options / pre-purchase options or one-way renewal options during this period. The additional contract period will be charged separately to the licensee.
The license agreement may be terminated before the deadline by the licensor when there is a very important reason. An important reason entitling the licensor to terminate the contract is when the license holder did not respect the initial rights of using the license.  In case of termination of the contract, the license user has to abandon the use of CLUETIVITY®.

License Fee and Delays

The payable fee for granting the use of CLUETIVIY license is mentioned in the invoice sent for the license acquisition. With regard to the payment of the net fees, for using CLUETIVITY® see Part I, para. 6 of the these Conditions. If the license period does not begin on the first day of the month, the license fee is calculated from the first following full calendar month.   In case of delay of payment, the device used for using CLUETIVITY® will be blocked the 21st day after the due date of payment. As part of the agreed minimum license period, an activation of CLUETIVITY® after this deactivation is possible, if the license holder pays back the due amounts. If the CLUETIVITY® license is no longer tied to the minimum term, a new activation is no more possible. In this case, in order to use CLUETIVITY®, a new license acquisition is necessary.

Maintenance & Updates

The Licensor warrants that the maintenance of the agreed quality of CLUETIVITY® during the license period preclude any third party rights. The licensor shall rectify any possible inaccuracies and deficiencies of CLUETIVITY® in a timely manner.   In order to keep CLUETIVITY® updated, the provider may offer at any time and without prior notice automatic or manual updates of the services and game content.   The license holder is encouraged to install appropriate and compatible software updates to the operating system on the devices operating the games offered by CLUETIVITY® and of the necessary services and new software operating systems.

Obligation to cooperate of the license holder

The license holder agrees to follow the instructions included in the manuals provided to use the software. The training for using the software can also include phone and online training, video tutorials, software tutorials or other methods.

Competition restriction and contractual penalty

The Licensee undertakes not to develop, offer, use or distribute any software or games comparable or in competition with CLUETIVITY® either alone or with third parties and thereby compete with the Licensor’s games or software in its license area to step. If the licensee establishes such a competitive relationship, the licensor is entitled to an extraordinary termination right. All rights of use granted under these terms and conditions will become invalid upon termination and automatically revert to the licensor. Licensee must discontinue use of the Software and Games immediately and completely. Fees already paid and any renewal fees paid in advance by the licensee will not be refunded in this case. Other regulations than those listed here require the written consent of the licensor.

  • The licensee can market the Remote Product only locally in his or her city (if not based on an existing CityFlat license the territory must be discussed with and agreed by the licensor before starting any activities).
  • The Remote Reseller License is meant for the LOCAL use and should not be used for a marketing outside the city. Also marketing activities like online marketing must be done local in the city and not outside in other cities. This way the licensor is trying to protect other Resellers.
  • The licensor will not do any refunds for remote codes.
  • Any unclear situations or any use cases not clearly covered by this agreement must be agreed by the licensor.

We have no influence on this data collection and processing and are not responsible for it. We only process the data if it is necessary for downloading the app to your device and for using the online customizer.

1.2. WHEN USING THE APP AND THE ONLINE CUSTOMIZER
1.2.1. Data processing by us
We only process the personal data listed below. In particular, the app does not access further data or transmits it to us or to third parties.
In order to best facilitate the operation of the app for you, personal data of the users / players of the Cluetivity missions can be recorded. During the transfer process, your IP address will be known to us and Google. We process the following data:

– Recorded photos of the players during the game
These data are required if you want to use these features during the game. The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Processing is thus carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. By using the function “request phone number of the player” as well as “use of the puzzle team photo” you tell us to store this data on the servers we use. Furthermore, by using this feature, you assure us that your players / users / guests / customers have consented to the disclosure of their data (including telephone number and photos). The data is stored by us for the duration of the existence of the license relationship. Deleting your user account deletes this data.
These data are processed on our behalf by the Google service Firebase (https://firebase.google.com). Firebase is a Google company and part of the Google Cloud Platform.
