›DAD‹ objectives and principles The ›DAD‹ data-update-service provides as a link between manufacturer/supplier and dealer/food service consultant the close in-time gathering, preparing, updating and distribution oftechnical planning data as well as grafic-, price- and product- information in a standardised format. The ›DAD‹ data-update-service pursues the following principles: 1. Continuity The update-service is provided continously, online 'via FTP' for installation downloadable, or alternatively if needed by distribution of 4 ›DAD‹ DVDs per year to ›DAD‹ users. Hereby a regular and in-time data-updating is guaranteed. The agreement for ›DAD‹ data-usage is concluded for a minimum period of one year. Alternatively single ›DAD‹ DVDs may be ordered. 2. Integration The integraion of the data and the finalising of one standardised format is carried out by the ›DAD‹ data-update-service. Because of lack of information concerning e.g.technical data or because of delays in receiving the information a difference between the validity dates of the pricelists and the publication date in DAD are possible. An in-time update ist targeted and mostly this can be attained. By the FTP-update intermediate update independent from the ›DAD‹ DVD can be obtained directly after the data has been finalised at SWS. 3. ›DAD‹ Data-topicality By regular contacts with DAD-manufacturers and ›DAD‹ users an in-time knowledge about product-changes and -developements can be assured. But there are no sanction-mechanisms in order to obligate manufacturers to keep the data up-to-date in time. This means that similar to print media all technical and price information is valid subject to changes and errors. The correctness and validity of the data cannot be guranteed. 4. Personal responsibility Every ›DAD‹ user has the possibility, to use the ›DAD‹ Data-Installation completely or partially or to keep outdated data for his own purposes. Hence the ›DAD‹ has no automatism to assure by an obligatory update the topicality of the database. 5. Agreement for usage of ›DAD‹ data The usage of the ›DAD‹ data is arranged in the scope of the agreement for sage of ›DAD‹ data (PDF-download). In order to make use of the ›DAD‹ 2 specimen of the agreement for usage of ›DAD‹ data have to be countersigned and send to SWS. The use of the ›DAD‹ assumes the payment of an annual ›DAD‹-fee. |
