REOS makes the content you create in the designated places technically available to the users you share with us. The use of the content data is defined solely by you - if and what data you specify and which user group you make this content visible to. REOS only protects this data technically. Therefore, be cautious about what personal information about you provide and protect yourself by managing your data.

REOS is committed to achieving this goal with the installation of digital consumption readers and intelligent measuring systems.

In order to enable the respective landlords and owners to organize the electricity consumption readings by means of an intelligent measuring system within the guidelines of § 2 MSBG (Measuring Point Operating Act), the user hereby expressly declares that REOS itself fulfills the role of the Meter operator. If REOS considers a third person to be more suitable to perform the metering point operation, the user hereby authorizes REOS to select such a third party. REOS will only apply for the position of the measuring point operator and will only make use of the power of the user to commission a third party with the role of the measuring point operator if this is absolutely necessary for the authorised organization. The same applies to the role of the administrator of the central communication module of the intelligent measuring system - the so-called smart meter gateways. Here, too, REOS itself or one commissioned by REOS, taking into account the regulations of the MSBG, can assume the role of the smart meter gateway administrator.

The user hereby warrants not to modify, reposition, repair or treat in a similar manner REOS hardware that has been installed within the premises (or the associated common areas). In the event of malfunction of the REOS hardware, the user is obliged to report (via the REOS system) the detected error to the responsible landlord, or to the responsible property management.

7. Warranty and disclaimer

REOS is liable for damages in full amount if there is a basis of gross negligence.

In the absence of any condition for which REOS has provided a guarantee or assurance, REOS shall only be liable to the amount of the foreseeable, typical damage which should be prevented by the guarantee or assurance. Failing any lack of the guarantee/ guaranteed quality in turn based on intent / gross negligence.
