For this purpose, the Customer – provided that he/she is a natural person – must identify him/herself by presenting a valid identification document as defined by the Act against Money Laundering. The same applies to persons with power of disposition, representatives and beneficial owner. To check the IDs of Customers who are not natural persons, Trisor will request the legally required verifications and the Customer will be obligated to provide them. The Customer can choose from several variants for the performance of the ID Check to the legally permissible extent; these include, for example, the ID Check by way of the PostIdent procedure by Deutsche Post AG. In case the ID Check is performed by a contracted service provider, the terms and conditions of the service provider apply. Due to technical or Site-specific restrictions, the Customer is not entitled to any particular variant of the processes for the performance of the ID Check. The ID Check is free of charge for the Customer. If the Customer refuses to provide the legally required data, or if the data is or later proves to be incomplete or incorrect, or if the information cannot be verified in compliance with the law, e.g. because of belated presentation of the means intended for this purpose (in particular, identification cards or excerpts from company registers), or if a suspicion of money laundering or indications of crimes or administrative offences arise in the course of the ID Check, Trisor reserves the right to refuse entering into a business relationship with the Customer or if such has already been entered, terminate it for cause with immediate effect.

In the course of the Activation Date, the electronic activation will be implemented, which must be confirmed by the Customer in his/her Customer Account or by email, whereupon the Safe Deposit Box can be used (“Safe Deposit Box Activation”). The Customer or the legitimated person acting on his/her behalf must carry the valid identification document that has been used for the ID Check (Section 2.3.1). It must be machine-readable for scans.

2.3.3 Customer Card, Biometric Identification and Handover of Keys. As part of the Safe Deposit Box Activation and based on the Customer’s digital consent to be given separately, the fingerprint of the Customer or of the legitimated person will be taken by means of an electronic scanner and the Customer’s customer card (“Customer Card”) (“Biometric Identification”). The Customer’s biometric data will then be stored on his/her Customer Card. Directly before the Biometric Identification, using a hardware device on Site, the Customer will assign a personal PIN (“PIN”) for his/her Customer Card, which will be handed over to the Customer before then at the Site along with 2 keys. The Biometric Identification is mandatory for the conclusion of the Rental Agreement. Reproduction of the key is expressly prohibited.

2.3.4. Access to the Safe Deposit Box. The combination of different means of authentication enables the Customer to access the rooms where the self-serve terminals are located. After selecting an available self-serve terminal, the Customer can get access to the Safe Deposit Box at the self-serve terminal only if he/she has identified him/herself with his/her means of authentication and the key.

2.3.5 Legitimated Persons.(a) If the Customer is a natural person, he/she can use the Digital Platform to appoint up to three (3) authorized representatives for the use of the Safe Deposit Box (each referred to as “Representative”), whose title, first and last name, as well as email address are to be entered and who shall receive an invitation from Trisor in the name of the Customer. A right to the admission of a legitimated person applies only for the Customer’s relatives (Sec. 15 Fiscal Code (“AO”)) if the Customer is a natural person. Trisor reserves the right to refuse admission of other groups of persons as legitimated persons.

The fee will be invoiced automatically to the Customer’s saved payment instrument after the activation and be payable immediately depending on the chosen payment instrument (Section 2.2.7). If the chosen payment instrument is cash payment, the fee shall be settled on Site in the course of the activation.

(b) If the Customer is not a natural person, it is entitled to use its customer account to appoint up to two (2) legal representatives (in particular managing directors, board members, authorized officers) who are entered in a register that is electronically accessible to the public (companies register, trade register) and up to two (2) additional Representatives for the use of the Safe Deposit Box; clauses 4 to 6 of the previous paragraph(s) apply analogously. Representatives within the meaning of the above paragraphs (a), (b), Section 4.4 and legal representatives are each defined to mean “Legitimated Persons.”

A personal appointment at the Site must be scheduled via the digital customer area to pick up a new card, as the biometric characteristics must again be registered. Trisor will charge a fee for this process.

2.3.7 Loss of the Key. In case the Safe Deposit Box key is lost, Trisor shall be informed immediately via the customer area on the Digital Platform.

Always the respective provider or operator is responsible for the correctness of the contents, which is why Trisor does not give any guarantee for them. The external websites were checked by Trisor for possible legal violations on the date of the linking. On the date of the linking, no legal violations could be detected. A constant monitoring of all contents of pages linked by Trisor in absence of actual indications of legal violations cannot be provided by Trisor. If Trisor finds out about legal violations, Trisor will remove the corresponding links immediately.

10. Technical Availability of the Digital Platform and the Safe Deposit Box

10.1 Within reasonable technical and financial possibilities, Trisor aims for the best possible availability of the Digital Platform and the Hirer’s Safe Deposit Boxes. However, no guarantee of availability at all times can be given to the Customer due to technical reasons. Reasons of maintenance, safety and/or network capacity and other incidents outside of Trisor’s sphere of control can lead to temporary interruptions of the Digital Platform’s availability and the related Services, including the accessibility of the Safe Deposit Boxes. This means that you as the Hirer might temporarily not have access to your Safe Deposit Box for technical reasons. Trisor shall not be liable for technical problems within the Customer’s IT infrastructure nor for other difficulties the Customer has in the use of the Digital Platform. In addition, Trisor reserves the right to restrict or suspend the accessibility of the Digital Platform temporarily if and insofar as this is required for reasons of the network capacities, security reasons or the performance of necessary technical measures or for other important reasons. Trisor shall notify the Customer of such restricting measures or interruptions where possible in advance via the Digital Platform or by email.

Components of the Customer Contract (Platform Use Agreement, Rental Agreement) cannot be terminated separately.

11.3 For security reasons, notice of terminations shall be given exclusively electronically via the Digital Platform under the email address used for registration. Termination of the Platform Use Agreement will automatically entail the termination of the Rental Agreement toward the same termination date.

11.4 The right of termination for good cause shall remain unaffected. Good cause is given for Trisor, in particular a) if the Hirer is in arrears with the payment of the due rent for more than two (2) weeks and Trisor has unsuccessfully set the Hirer an appropriate grace period of at least one (1) week for subsequent performance; or b) in case the Hirer violates the safety rules under Section 7.2 or provides an untruthful personal warranty.

11.5 The Hirer is obligated to clear out the Safe Deposit Box at the end of the contract. If the Hirer does not clear out the Safe Deposit Box on time or if he/she does not confirm that he/she has cleared it out, Trisor shall have the right to have specialized personnel open the Safe Deposit Box at the Hirer’s cost in attendance of a witness; the opening shall be documented in a written report and the content of the Safe Deposit Box shall be deposited with a court. Trisor shall notify the Hirer of this in text form (Sec. 126b). The Hirer shall bear all costs for this opening to the full extent.
