3. Cobuilder obligations
If the Customer wants to make certain Customer Data publicly accessible to third parties (i.e. who are not Cobuilder customers or Authorised End Users) via the public Cobuilder Supply page, the Customer has to confirm its consent to such publicity by clicking the respective consent or opt-in button in the relevant section of the Cobuilder Platform. The Customer has the right to request restriction of specific Customer Data from public access by providing a written notice to Cobuilder, identifying the data to be restricted from public access. Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement, Cobuilder shall comply with such requests within 7 days of receipt of the written notice.
By accepting the Supply T&C the Customer gives Cobuilder authorisation to assign generic life cycle assessment (“LCA”) data to customer’s products, if customer has not provided specific LCA data. In such cases the generic LCA data will be clearly marked as such. The Customer agrees that Cobuilder may recalculate product LCA data including generic LCA data to match units and/or scale the values to the specific product to be used in Cobuilder platform.
4. Customer’s obligations
When the Customer adds data or creates a Product Data Sheet (PDS), the Customer must specify the product name and other identifiers, e.g., manufacturer’s product number, barcode, GTIN number, etc. The specified product information must be sufficiently comprehensive and specific enough to achieve traceability of products used by contractors, designers, architects, janitors, etc.
Distribution of product information through Cobuilder Supply (goBIM) is based on what the Customer or Cobuilder, on behalf of the Customer, enters as a registered product range/product list. For the correct product information to be delivered through Cobuilder Supply (goBIM), the relevant products in the Customer’s registered product range/product list must be identified.
Unless otherwise agreed with Cobuilder, the Customer must establish a routine for handing over an updated product range/product list at least every 3 months.
Unless otherwise agreed, the Customer shall use the current format description for the product range/product list as specified at any time on the Cobuilder Supply (goBIM) website. As an additional service, the Customer can, on request, ask Cobuilder to send the finished set-up of the product range/product list to the Customer, which is then filled in and returned to Cobuilder.
The Customer is, in any case, responsible for quality-assuring their own product range list/product list for errors and deficiencies before it is handed over to Cobuilder or taken into Cobuilder Supply (goBIM), including checking data registered by Cobuilder on behalf of the Customer after authorization.
If the Customer uses information included in the product range list/product list to which others have rights, the Customer is obliged to indemnify Cobuilder for claims directed at Cobuilder and to correct such product range list/product list on request.
The Customer warrants and represents to Cobuilder that the Customer Data which it (or Cobuilder per its authorisation) upload into Cobuilder Supply is:
- legitimately held by it on the basis of lawful authorizations and/or valid agreements with third parties which enable it to comply with the Supply T&C and provide the authorization and/or data as contemplated herein; and
- correct and will be regularly updated if needed.
If the Customer has a contractual obligation with a third party that limits the Customer’s right to use such data, the Customer is responsible for complying with such agreements.
