Article 4 – Services description and use

4.1. Yokis Building automation application allows the Installer to exploit the Services described in the commercial documents supplied with Building automation equipment or available on URMET’s website. They specifically include the following features:

-        The Installer may manage and monitor the Projects for every Customer. For each Project, the Installer specifies the Project name, the Customer’s name, the name of the person in charge when the Project involves a public estate shared among many owners (e.g. block of flats), the address of the residence receiving Yokis Building automation equipment. The Installer may also define and include maps and photos concerning the place where Building automation equipment is installed. The Installer may transfer the data collected for each Project to URMET’s Cloud at any time, so that it is stored and kept. Failure to perform such procedure will store the data locally, on the Installer’s tablet, only. The Installer is solely responsible in case of total or partial loss or editing of the data and, as such, no complaint may be lodged against URMET.

-        The Installer may access the library of the Building automation scenarios created by URMET. Starting from the data communicated by the Installer during Project creation (in particular the number and age of the residents, etc.), URMET will be able to suggest the best Building automation scenarios contained in the library for a specific project. The Installer may create his/her own Building automation scenarios too.

-        The Installer may set and configure Yokis Building automation equipment for each Customer.

Once Yokis Building automation equipment installation, configuration and setting are complete, the Project concerned is finished. The Project data and in particular its settings are stored directly in the unit installed in the residence by the Installer and connected to Yokis Building automation equipment. Please note that, at the end of the Project, all the rights relating to the Project data are irrevocably made available to the Customer who may have them edited without the Installer’s intervention.

For storage purposes, the Installer may also transfer the data relating to each Project to URMET’s private Cloud. Starting from the data transferred to URMET’s Cloud, the Installer may generate an end-of-Project report in PDF format. When data is transferred to the Cloud, the Installer’s intellectual property rights over Building automation scenarios are transferred to URMET, for the entire duration of the protection of such rights.

Once the Project is complete, the Installer cannot access the data and settings of the Project’s Building automation equipment any more. Access to such data is allowed to the Customer only. The latter may grant the Installer a right to access such data after Project completion. 

4.2. The Installer undertakes to use Yokis Building automation application and Services in accordance with these general terms and in compliance with the applicable rules.

The Installer undertakes not to use the Services, Yokis Building automation application and every kind of information or element in an abnormal or improper way that would alter their operation or execution. The Installer adopts all the measures and precautions necessary to avoid any illicit and hazardous use or any use contrary to the normal one that the Installer and any other person under his/her control and direction could make of the Services and Yokis Building automation application.

The Installer undertakes not to download or transfer any data containing or subject to contain viruses or any programme that could alter Yokis Building automation application and Services operation or damage URMET, Building automation equipment, Yokis Building automation application, Services and Customers.

No complaint may be lodged against URMET and URMET shall not be liable in case of Yokis Building automation application and Services malfunction due to any abnormal or improper use or any use contrary to these general terms.
