Shees terms of use

The Sjees-app (hereinafter referred to as: ”the app” or ”Sjees-app”) is used for the Brainport Bereikbaar program. With the Sjees-app and the Sjees campaign, Brainport Bereikbaar stimulates the use of the bicycle. These terms and conditions describe how you can use the services of the Sjees app. Before using the Sjees app, you must read and accept these terms of use. If you do not accept these terms and conditions, we request that you do not use this app. These terms of use have been formulated by Mobidot BV in collaboration with Brainport Bereikbaar. Mobidot BV is the owner and operator of the Sjees app.

1. Description of the Sjees app. With this app you gain insight into your daily travel pattern and you can save great gifts and discounts by traveling by bicycle. The app automatically registers how you travel and encourages you to take the bike more often by means of fun challenges. Of course, coupled to attractive prices.

The app helps you to make a conscious and smart travel choice and makes you aware of your own travel behavior. The app uses so-called “notifications” to proactively inform you on information about your travels that may be relevant to you. Furthermore, we will only use notifications for announcements of the Sjees campaign of Brainport Bereikbaar. We will expressly not use notifications to send advertisements or send you commercial offers that are not related to the Sjees campaign. The Sjees app is offered in the Dutch and English language.

2. Terms of Use of the Software. We enable you to use the Sjees app for personal use, subject to these terms of use. You must be older than 16 and live or travel in the Brainport region. You may not use the Sjees app for illegal or unauthorized purposes. You are solely responsible for your activities and behavior while using the Sjees app. Please, use the Sjees app safely and do not operate the app if you are a driver in traffic.

3.Personal Use. You must be the owner or sole user of the smartphone on which the app will be installed. In particular, you may not install the software on a mobile device used by a third party.

Your mobile operator and/or other service provider are responsible for these products and services.

Your use of the smartphone must not compromise the security or integrity of our services, computer systems and networks, whether by allowing intruders to gain access, introducing viruses or other threats, placing a disproportionate or unreasonably large load on the service or the infrastructure, or using any computer program, routine, file or device to disrupt or damage the operation of the Sjees app.
