The Supplier and the Customer are jointly referred to as the “Parties” and each separately as a “Party”.

 

2. AGREEMENT DOCUMENTS

 

2.1 The Customer enters into the agreement concerning the Service (“Agreement”) with the Supplier by following the registration process as available at the Supplier's web site located at www.platformoftrust.net (“Web Site”).

2.2.1 These Platform of Trust General Terms of Service

2.2.2 The Platform of Trust Data Processing Agreement

The documents described above shall be applied in the order described above so that in case of discrepancy, a document with a smaller number shall take precedence over a document over a larger number.

Any such third-party goods or services are provided solely subject to their applicable third-party terms and conditions. The Supplier shall not assume any liability on the part of such third parties.

The data provided to the Customer through the Service (“Conveyed Data”) is sourced either from the Customer itself, or from third party suppliers of such data (“Data Supplier(s)”). Further, the Customer may create additional data within the Service, for example by analysing the Conveyed Data and building data models or digital twins of real-world objects (“Customer Data”).

3.5 The Service may also provide a marketplace feature where Data Suppliers and app developers may sell and purchase data and applications to be used through and in connection with the Service.
