These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter: GTC) set out the terms of the legal relationship between Griff Gate Pte Ltd. (hereinafter: Service Provider) and the business users utilizing the ChimeraTool software (hereinafter: User), and contain the rights, obligations, and liability rules that govern the contractual relationship between the Parties.
These GTC apply exclusively to legal entities, sole traders, and other professional organizations acting within the scope of their economic activities. The Service Provider offers the ChimeraTool software (hereinafter: Software or Product) exclusively for business use, and expressly excludes sales to natural persons acting as consumers.
The purpose of these GTC is to provide the Parties with a clear, transparent, and legally valid framework with regard to the licensing of the Software, the use of subscription packages, payment terms, warranty rights and obligations, as well as other rights and obligations of the Parties. Acceptance of the GTC forms an integral part of the ordering process, and by placing an order for the Software and completing registration, the User acknowledges these terms as binding upon itself.
The Service Provider reserves the right to unilaterally amend these GTC, notifying the User in advance of the entry into force of any amendment. The current version of the GTC is available at all times on the website https://chimeratool.cn.
For the purposes of these GTC, the following terms shall have the meanings set out below:
The Contract established under these GTC is exclusively a business (B2B) legal relationship. The Service Provider offers the Software exclusively to legal entities, sole traders, and other professional organizations that intend to use the Software within the scope of their economic activities, for the purpose of conducting professional mobile device repair and servicing business activities.
By purchasing and using the Software, the User expressly and irrevocably declares that:
The Parties expressly establish that consumer protection legislation — including in particular the European Union directives on consumer rights and their national implementations — does not apply to the Contract established under these GTC. To the extent that any applicable legal system would apply a different classification, the Parties establish that the User expressly waives all consumer rights it is not prohibited by law from waiving.
Within the framework of these GTC, the Service Provider establishes and warrants the following:
To use the Software, the User must create a valid Account on the Website. The registration process consists of the following steps:
In the case of Resellers, the Service Provider allows an authorized reseller to create Accounts for their own end users through the reseller management interface provided to them. Accounts created in this way are also subject to these GTC, with the simultaneous application of the special provisions applicable to resellers (§5).
The User is obliged to provide accurate, truthful, and up-to-date information during registration. Providing false information may result in the immediate suspension or deletion of the Account and immediate termination of the Contract by the Service Provider.
By registering and purchasing the Software, the User expressly declares and warrants the following:
The User may browse the Website to learn about the Products offered by the Service Provider, their content, functionality, and prices. The range of purchasable Products includes in particular:
The product descriptions on the Website are for informational purposes, and the Service Provider may modify them. Detailed descriptions of individual Products are available on the Website. The User is responsible for verifying the content and functionality of a given Product before purchase.
The User may place an order on the Website by following the steps below:
Upon receipt of the order, the Service Provider sends an automated confirmation email to the email address provided by the User. This automated confirmation email merely notifies the User of the receipt of the order and does not in itself constitute the formation of the Contract.
The Contract is formed exclusively upon the Service Provider's dispatch of a fulfillment notification, which the Service Provider sends after a successful payment transaction and processing of the order. The fulfillment notification contains the information necessary to download the Software and the data required for license activation. The Service Provider endeavors to send the confirmation and fulfillment notification within 1 (one) hour of receipt of the order; however, the processing time may vary depending on traffic, and the User may not assert any claim for damages after the expiry of 1 hour if delivery of the fulfillment notification is delayed, provided that the delay ceases within a reasonable time.
The Parties establish that:
For orders placed through the Website, payment is possible exclusively by credit or debit card, through the payment interface provided by FastSpring BV. The Service Provider does not accept other payment methods (cash, bank transfer, cryptocurrency, PayPal, etc.) in the normal ordering process, except for the reseller payment arrangement regulated in §5, in which case bank transfer is also possible.
FastSpring BV is responsible for the security of payment transactions and the protection of card data in compliance with the applicable PCI-DSS standards. The User must ensure that sufficient balance or credit limit is available on the provided card for the fulfillment of the order.
All Prices listed on the Product list of the Website are expressed in USD (US dollars). The Prices show the base Purchase Price, which forms the basis of the transaction. If, based on the User's place of establishment, place of business, tax residence, or applicable laws, a value added tax (VAT) or other sales tax obligation arises, the total amount payable increased by the applicable tax amount will be displayed during the payment process, based on the tax calculation mechanism applied by FastSpring BV. The total amount inclusive of tax is contained in the electronic invoice.
The Service Provider reserves the right to unilaterally modify the Prices. Modified Prices are effective for new orders from the date of their publication on the Website. Orders already placed and confirmed are subject to the Prices previously confirmed therein.
Following a successful payment transaction, FastSpring BV issues and sends an electronic invoice (e-invoice) to the User's email address based on the data provided by the User. The invoice contains the name of the Product, the applicable Purchase Price, any taxes and their amounts, the billing details of FastSpring BV, and the order identifier.
The User is responsible for providing the billing data (company name, address, tax number, etc.) accurately and correctly. The Service Provider excludes liability for billing errors arising from incorrect data entry; the User may take steps to correct billing data through FastSpring BV's customer service.
Taking into account the specific nature of digital software products and the exclusively B2B nature of the legal relationship, the Service Provider may provide refunds under the conditions set out below.
A refund is only possible if all of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
If the above conditions are met, a full refund may be requested within 15 (fifteen) calendar days of purchase, and the Service Provider shall process it in accordance with the applicable rules. No refund claim may be asserted after the expiry of the 15-day deadline.
In the following cases, no refund is possible under any circumstances:
A refund claim may only be submitted through the customer service system on the Website by opening a support ticket. The request must be accompanied by the order identifier, a detailed description of the problem, documentation of the steps taken during troubleshooting, and screenshots of any error messages. The Service Provider will review the request and, with the involvement of FastSpring BV, will arrange for the processing of the approved refund.
As performance of the Contract, following a successful payment transaction and the dispatch of the fulfillment notification, the Service Provider makes the ChimeraTool software available to the User for direct download on the website https://chimeratool.cn. The download can be performed by logging into the User's Account, through the Account management interface.
The Software can be installed and run when the system requirements defined in the installation guide are met. The User is obliged to verify that their device meets the minimum system requirements before purchase.
To launch and use the Software, the User must log in with their registered username and password. Upon validation of the login credentials, the Software automatically verifies and activates the license assigned to the User. An active internet connection is required for the validity of the license and the continuous operation of the Software, as the Software verifies the license validity online. In the absence of an internet connection, certain features of the Software may be limited or entirely unavailable.
The User is responsible for keeping their login credentials (username, password) confidential and for preventing unauthorized access by third parties. The User is obliged to notify the Service Provider immediately upon becoming aware of unauthorized use of their login credentials. The Service Provider excludes its liability for damages resulting from unauthorized access, provided that the User acted negligently in managing their data.
Under the Contract, the Service Provider grants the User a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable right of use in respect of the ChimeraTool software, subject to the conditions set out below:
The source code of the Software does not form part of the license and is not made available to the User. The User is expressly and unconditionally prohibited from:
The right of use extends exclusively to the User's ordinary business activities involving mobile device servicing. Use of the Software for other purposes — including in particular use for the development of other software, reproduction for resale purposes, automated data collection (scraping), or any unlawful purpose — falls outside the scope of the right of use, and may result in immediate termination of the Contract and a claim for damages.
The Service Provider provides the Software on an "as-is" basis. The Service Provider has no obligation to customize, modify, or extend the Software with any special features to meet the individual needs of the User. The User accepts the Software with the functionality described in the product description on the Website and in the documentation.
All intellectual property rights relating to the ChimeraTool software — including, but not limited to, copyright, trademarks, patents, know-how, and trade secrets — belong exclusively to Griff Gate Pte Ltd. and are not transferred to the User under the Contract. The User acquires only the right of use in respect of the Software as defined in this §4.3. The Contract shall in no way be interpreted as transferring to the User ownership rights, patent rights, trademark rights, or any other intellectual property rights.
The number of mobile devices, so-called "slots", that the User may simultaneously manage depends on the applicable subscription package. The number of slots and the limitations of each subscription package are contained in the current price list and product descriptions on the Website. The User is entitled to use the Software within the limits of the purchased subscription package; exceeding those limits requires an additional subscription or a higher-tier package.
Organizations or individuals expressly authorized by Griff Gate Pte Ltd. as resellers are entitled to sell the ChimeraTool software, subscription packages, add-ons, and other Products to end users under the special conditions set out in this §5.
The reseller is an independent, autonomous contracting party, acting in its own name and at its own risk. Under no circumstances may the reseller be considered an agent, representative, employee, or staff member of the Service Provider. The reseller is not authorized to assume obligations, make declarations, enter into contracts, or represent the Service Provider in any form on the Service Provider's behalf, unless the Service Provider has expressly authorized it to do so in advance and in writing.
The reseller may only pass on Products to users exclusively through the Website, from the reseller's account, via the interface created for this purpose. The reseller may use the reseller interface designed for this purpose on the chimeratool.cn website after logging in, or may also use the API service of chimeratool.cn, using it exclusively with their own API key.
In the reseller system, credits are assigned to the reseller's Account.
Credits are:
The reseller determines the prices offered to end users independently, at its own risk and on its own responsibility, but strictly adhering to the conditions described on the website https://chimeratool.cn/en/docs/resellers-sales-system.
The reseller may only sell against credits and licenses purchased from the Service Provider. The reseller is not authorized to promise, provide, or make any statement to end users regarding discounts or refunds on behalf of the Service Provider.
The reseller bears sole responsibility for contracts concluded with its own end users, for the warranty and guarantee conditions it undertakes, and for all legal obligations arising towards end users. The reseller is obliged to ensure that the general terms and conditions applied in its legal relationship with end users do not conflict with these GTC and do not create adverse consequences for the Service Provider.
The reseller is obliged to ensure that end users are made aware of the terms of use applicable to the Software, in particular the limitations of the right of use set out in §4.3. Any complaint, claim for damages, or other legal dispute by end users relating to the use of the Software shall be asserted primarily against the reseller.
The reseller expressly undertakes not to sell, promote, advertise, or distribute the ChimeraTool software, subscription packages, add-ons, and other Products to persons or organizations that intend to use the Software for unlawful purposes. Unlawful purposes include in particular:
The reseller undertakes to fully indemnify and hold harmless Griff Gate Pte Ltd., its officers, employees, agents, and successors from and against any damage, cost, expense, fine, legal claim, lawsuit, or demand arising from or in connection with:
This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this Contract.
The Service Provider grants the reseller a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the "ChimeraTool" trademark and the associated logos, brand identifiers, and other brand elements (collectively: Brand Marks) exclusively for the purpose of promoting and selling the Software, in compliance with the brand guidelines (Brand Guidelines) defined by the Service Provider.
The reseller is obliged to use the Brand Marks only in the form, size, and context approved by the Service Provider. Modification, recoloring, distortion, or any other alteration of the Brand Marks is prohibited. The reseller is not authorized to register the Brand Marks as part of their own trademarks, as a domain name, or as a company name.
The Service Provider may revoke the trademark usage right at any time, without giving reasons, with a 30-day notice period, or with immediate effect if the reseller abuses the trademark usage or otherwise violates the terms of these GTC. In the event of revocation of the right, the reseller is immediately obliged to cease all use of the Brand Marks.
Within the framework of these GTC, the Service Provider warrants that:
The Service Provider provides a 30 (thirty) calendar day warranty period for the Software, which runs from the date of dispatch of the fulfillment notification (hereinafter: Warranty Period).
During the Warranty Period, in the case of defects that are demonstrably and reproducibly present and are reported by the User, the Service Provider is obliged to remedy the defect free of charge or to make available a corrected version of the Software within a reasonable deadline. To assert a warranty claim, the User must open a support ticket on the Website, providing a detailed description of the defect and the steps to reproduce it.
The warranty provided in this §6.2 does not cover the following:
The Service Provider reserves the right to modify, develop, update, expand, or change specific features of the ChimeraTool software at any time, without prior notice to the User. Development and updates of the Software are generally available to the User free of charge during the valid subscription period, unless a specific development or feature is available for a separate fee (premium features, add-ons).
The Service Provider accepts no liability if a previously available feature is modified or discontinued as a result of a Software update, provided that the affected functionality is substantially maintained and any changes are published on the Website or in the documentation.
The Service Provider's total liability under this Contract or any claim related thereto — including warranty, contractual, and tortious liability — shall in aggregate not exceed the amount of the one-time Purchase Price actually paid by the User for the Product in question. If the claim relates to a subscription fee, the maximum liability is the amount of the fee for the last paid subscription period.
The Service Provider shall under no circumstances be liable for:
The Service Provider fully excludes its liability for any damage suffered or caused by the User or the reseller in connection with the use of the Software for unlawful purposes, its application to devices of unlawful origin, or any violation of applicable laws. This exclusion applies both to claims asserted by the User and to recourse claims related to damages caused by the User to third parties.
The limitation and exclusion of liability set out in this §6 does not apply to:
The Service Provider processes the personal data of Users in accordance with the Privacy and Data Protection Policy. The Privacy and Data Protection Policy forms an inseparable part of these GTC and is available at all times on the Website.
By registering and placing an order, the User consents to the Service Provider processing their personal and business data necessary for the performance of the Contract, invoicing, technical support, and the provision of software updates. The detailed rules of data processing, including the purpose, legal basis, duration, and the User's rights, are contained in the Privacy and Data Protection Policy.
These GTC and the Contract formed on their basis, including their interpretation, validity, effect, performance, and termination, shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of Singapore, regardless of conflict of law rules that might prescribe the application of another legal system.
The Parties expressly exclude the applicability of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) to this Contract, to the extent it would otherwise apply.
The competent courts of the Republic of Singapore shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, disagreement, or claim arising from these GTC or the Contract formed on their basis. The Parties expressly submit to the jurisdiction of the Singapore courts and waive any objection to the jurisdiction of any other court.
Prior to initiating litigation, the Parties are obliged to make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute through negotiation and agreement. If negotiations do not yield results within 30 days, either Party may refer the matter to a court.
The Service Provider is entitled to unilaterally amend these GTC. The Service Provider shall notify the User in advance of any amendment, at least 30 days before the amended GTC enters into force, by email and/or by publication on the Website. The amended GTC shall enter into force on the 30th day following its publication.
If the User does not terminate the Contract before the amended GTC enters into force, and continues to use the Software after its entry into force, the User shall be deemed to have accepted the amended GTC. In the event of termination due to an amendment to the GTC, the User may claim a proportionate refund of the pre-paid, unexpired subscription fee for the current period.
The Parties are obliged to treat as confidential all information to which they have had access in connection with this Contract and which the other Party has designated as confidential, or which they ought to have known, acting with due diligence, to be non-public. The protection of trade secrets extends to the source code of the Software, development roadmaps, business strategy, client lists, pricing policy, and other commercially sensitive information.
The confidentiality obligation remains in effect after the termination of the Contract, without time limitation, until the information in question becomes publicly known for reasons independent of the obliged party's conduct.
The User is in particular obliged to ensure that information relating to the Software, the operating principles of the Software, results achieved, and other confidential information related to the Software are not made accessible to third parties, and are not used for purposes outside the Contract.
The Service Provider provides customer support to Users under the following conditions:
If any provision of these GTC is found to be invalid, ineffective, or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity and effectiveness of the remaining provisions. The invalid provision shall be replaced — in the manner best reflecting the Parties' intention — by a valid provision that achieves the Parties' original intention to the greatest extent possible.
The fact that a Party does not exercise a right arising from the GTC in a given instance does not mean that it has permanently waived that right, and does not prevent the Party from exercising the same right in a future instance.
Neither Party shall be liable for the non-performance or delayed performance of its obligations under these GTC if the non-performance or delay is attributable to a Force Majeure Event. The affected Party is obliged to notify the other Party of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event immediately, but no later than within 5 working days. Following the cessation of the Force Majeure Event, the affected Party is obliged to fulfill its obligations without delay.
If the Force Majeure Event persists for more than 60 calendar days, either Party shall be entitled to terminate the Contract in writing without liability for damages, with the obligation to make a proportionate refund of pre-paid subscription fees for the unexpired period attributable to such cause.
These GTC and their annexes constitute the entire agreement between the Parties regarding the use of the Software, and supersede all prior oral or written agreements, negotiations, offers, and statements relating to the same subject matter. Provisions deviating from the GTC are only valid if they are recorded in writing, signed by the duly authorized representatives of both Parties.
All notices, claims, and declarations relating to these GTC, the Contract, or the Software must be sent in writing, by electronic means. The User may send notices to the Service Provider through the customer service system on the Website or at the contact email address indicated on the Website.
