However, for technical reasons alone, we cannot guarantee a completely error-free or uninterrupted system. Like you, the BauMaster software is dependent on the availability of a stable Internet connection. Of course, this also applies to all our partners.

Providers and network operators as well as others also depend on a permanent and stable Internet connection and cannot guarantee permanent trouble-free performance. In this respect, neither we nor our partners can be liable to you or guarantee trouble-free operation.

Should disruptions occur, we will do everything in our power to rectify them as quickly as possible, provided it is within our control to do so. Under no circumstances will such faults give rise to any claims whatsoever against us.

Creating and Protecting Intellectual Property

• When you open an account via our software, you personalize your account. You may upload your logo, various documents and templates, images, text fragments that you have written and other works of which you are the author. You may even upload parts of technical descriptions for which you have patents or other property We respect this and do everything we can to protect these rights.

However, project management thrives on exchange, communication and the constant flow of information and data. To this end, it is necessary that all participants in a project receive at least limited, purpose-bound rights of use to your works. The same applies to us, who provide you with the software and thus the place where these works are stored.

Your right of use generally applies to all participants in the project and to us as the software provider. The purpose limitation is not only the project itself, but also applies to uses that are directly related to the project. For example, we can use your logo as a reference on our website.

• As mentioned above, it is up to you to decide who becomes a project participant and receives access to project data. You are also responsible for informing the project participants about possible rights of use or copyrights arising from the contents of the We cannot accept any liability for photos or documents being screen- shot, shared, copied or reproduced or published in any other way by other project participants.

• We reserve the right to charge a fee corresponding to the usual market price for storage utilization if a storage limit subjectively set by PASit is exceeded (e.g. more than 10 BIM models or more than 500 plans). The customer does not receive any claims whatsoever against PASit through the billing of storage capacity in the sense of the “fair-use principle”. Furthermore, the billing of storage capacity does not constitute a cancellation of the contract for good cause.

BIM models with a data size of more than 1 GB are not supported by the Autodesk BIM viewer, which is integrated in BauMaster.

Your Data Won’t Last Forever

• We store your data in a database cluster. Backups are created at 24-hour intervals. Due to technical circumstances, data loss can still occur in the event of a total hardware failure.
