LICENSE

1. SIKA ONLINE has the right to freely maintain the contractors’ listing and its ranking on the website. SIKA ONLINE offers customers the opportunity to give ratings and reviews of the all goods and services on the website, and has the right but not the obligation to publish these online and make them visible to all customers. SIKA ONLINE reserves the right to delete ratings and reviews.

2. SIKA ONLINE may scan, transcribe, and publish online the contractor's listings, logos and other materials required. The contractor grants to SIKA ONLINE a royalty- free, perpetual, unrestricted licence to use and distribute any materials provided by him, for the purpose of advertising SIKA ONLINE's service. In particular, this includes use in Google AdWords campaigns, domain name registrations and other online marketing and search engine optimization measures.

TERMS & TERMINATION

1. This agreement is valid as soon as the contractor signs the contract, or fulfils an order referred by SIK AONLINE, and remains valid indefinitely, until termination by either party. Termination can occur at any time, with a period of notice of one week, in writing, by email, post or fax. The revenues generated during this notice period are still subject to the SIKA ONLINE agreement. The right to immediate termination by either party for important cause remains unaffected.

2. The right to immediate termination in particular covers the case where the contractor repeatedly receives negative ratings and reviews on the website, and when these are not obviously unjustified. Repeatedly providing misleading information or withholding information required to present the contractor’s products and services is also grounds for immediate termination. Typos, mistakes and transmission errors are excluded from this, as long as they are not caused with intent or by gross negligence.
