As of: 12.2020

§1 Scope and provider

  2. Different terms and conditions of the user are rejected. A deviation from the general terms and conditions is only possible if and insofar as the contracting parties have agreed in writing. Please read these conditions carefully before using a service from bulkradar UG.
  3. The general conditions of the user, under whatever name, do not apply, unless the parties have expressly agreed to their application in writing.
  4. If one or more provisions of the GTC are found to be ineffective, the remaining provisions remain effective. The parties undertake to replace the non-binding provisions with such binding provisions that differ as little as possible from the non-binding provisions, taking into account the purpose and intent of the terms and conditions.
  5. The provider does not lose any rights if he does not strictly enforce the terms and conditions.
  6. The provider's general terms and conditions apply to the user from the point in time at which the user adds data or information or requests it from the provider system.
  7. The provider enables the user to view a variety of content. This includes map material, image material, business entries, reviews and other information which is made available to you by the provider, the corresponding licensors and third parties (other users) (the "Contents"). In the bulkradar app, the provider shows a map view of commercial cleaning stations for tankers, tank containers, silo vehicles and IBCs in the food, chemical and hazardous goods product areas. The app enables a filter / search function to locate cleaning stations, view details and service offers and determine which container types or product categories the cleaning station can be used for. It is also possible to search for certified cleaning stations from shippers / clients and their subordinate business units. This means that their so-called “approved cleaning stations” are displayed quickly and easily.
