The use of the captivr360 lite application is also free of charge, but the user (attraction operator) will only be granted access to extended services of video distribution if they have entered into a contract with Captivr.
4.2 Registration
The user agrees to provide truthful and complete information about themselves, their age, their e-mail address or social logins (Apple/ Google) and, if applicable, their contact details, insofar as the use of the WebApp and video recordings requires such input.
4.3 Accompanying Persons
Recording accompanying persons is permitted if the accompanying person(s) are at least 16 years old. The user is obliged to provide necessary information about accompanying persons if they are to be included in the video recording and to carry out the required measures (e.g., scanning the associated QR code). The user is also obliged to inform the accompanying persons about these GTC and the privacy information and to provide these documents to the accompanying persons.
4.4 Deletion
The user can delete all their data from the WebApp at any time. Personal data of the user will be deleted unless it is still needed for the agreed use of video recordings or due to statutory retention periods.
5. Functions of the WebApp/ Video Recording Procedure and Use / Conclusion of the Video Purchase Contract, Right of Withdrawal
5.1 Check-in
In order to use the WebApp, the users receive the corresponding link at the attraction. Before starting the video recording, it is necessary to provide the user's e-mail or social login (Apple/ Google account) and enter consent to these GTC, the data protection information and the basic consent to the desired video recordings. This user creation allows captivr to assign the recorded video to the correct user after the ride.
5.2 Video Recording
If a video recording is to be made, the user must open the WebApp on their mobile device before the upcoming ride and scan the QR code located in the boarding area of the attraction, which contains information about the user's seat or is provided by the operator via the captivr360 lite application. The user who scanned the QR code will then be prompted by the WebApp on their device to consent to the video recording and, if necessary, confirm that the accompanying person also agrees to the video recording. The video recording will only begin if the required confirmations are provided.
Instructions from the attraction staff must be followed if applicable.
5.3 Provision of the Video Recording
After the video recording is completed, the video file will be made available for retrieval. Depending on the attraction, the user must either pay a price in advance for the recording and then receive it in full or receive a short trailer in the WebApp and have the option to purchase the video within 2 weeks. In any case, the user receives an e-mail confirming the video is finished and can be retrieved via WebApp.
After the video has been recorded, two video files are made available to be viewed in the WebApp:
- 360° video file of the full ride
- 2D highlight clip
Prior to purchase, both videos contained in the bundle contain watermarks to prevent users from using the video before acquisition.
5.4 Purchase of the Video Recording, Conclusion of the Video Purchase Contract, and Right of Withdrawal
After completion of the video file, the user receives an e-mail on the earlier provided e-mail address (s. 5.1) that the file has been completed and can be purchased within 2 weeks according to the valid price list available in the WebApp. The user can then agree to the purchase the file in the WebApp by placing the video in the shopping cart.
In the shopping cart, the user sees another overview of the video and the price (incl. VAT).
By clicking on either the "PayPal" or "Pay by card" button, the user is redirected to a payment service provider to pay the purchase price. After payment, the user receives a success message and can access the video file in his WebApp. It is possible to view and download both video files.
For video recording, viewing and/or downloading the file, the user's terminal device must have at least the following technical features .
-
Operating System iOS Version 13 oder higher
-
Betriebssystem Android Version 4.4 W KitKat API Level 20
-
QR Code Scan functionality
The file is stored by captivr in an access-protected cloud for a period of one year. If a video file is not purchased within 2 weeks after notification of the provision of the file, the file will be deleted.
The user has a right of withdrawal in accordance with clause 6 below if he is a consumer. Influencers are not considered consumers in their capacity as (commercial) influencers, which is why the right of withdrawal for consumers does not apply to them.
6. Right of Withdrawal; Early Expiry of the Right of Withdrawal
6.1 Right of Withdrawal
Consumers are entitled to a right of withdrawal in accordance with statutory provisions. This does not apply to our free offers.
6.2 Withdrawal Period
Consumers have the right to withdraw from the contract for the purchase of the video recording within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day the consumer receives the video.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer must inform captivr of their decision to withdraw from the contract by means of a clear statement to their customer support (e.g., a letter sent by post or email: support@captivr.de). The attached sample withdrawal form can be used for this purpose, but a different form can also be used.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient that the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal is sent before the withdrawal period has expired.
For attraction operators and thus users of the captivr360 lite application, there is no right of withdrawal. The regulations agreed with captivr apply.
6.3 Consequences of Withdrawal
If the contract for the purchase of the video recording is withdrawn, we will refund all payments received from the consumer immediately and no later than fourteen days from the day on which we receive the notification of the withdrawal of this contract. We will use the same payment method for this refund that was used in the original transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise with the consumer; in no case will the consumer be charged any fees for this refund. Following the withdrawal, the user will lose all rights to use the video.
