Anyline products are built to deliver fast and reliable data capture solutions. There are however, certain factors that can limit or negatively impact data capture speed and accuracy. These are factors for which we are not responsible and cannot assume any warranty or liability. These include, for example:
- Non-compliance with technical requirements for the specific product and/or module, as set forth in this Datasheet or otherwise agreed
- An unsuitable scanning environment, such as scanning an object under extreme lighting conditions or from a far distance
- Any obstructions on the object that you wish to scan, such as obscured text or a very shiny surface
- The quality of an image you try to scan, for example images that are blurry, out of focus or low resolution images
- Incorrect handling by users, such as using the products with a lack of sufficient experience or unsteady hands
Furthermore, each module is conceived for certain applications and has a specific set of features and capabilities. Please read the module sections carefully to understand for which use cases you can deploy modules and what the module can and cannot do. Any use of our products beyond such scope is something we do not warrant or assume any liability for.
Availability
Anyline commits to 99.5% uptime per month for data capture capabilities offered via API. For this purpose, the uptime shall be calculated as follows: (actual availability + excluded periods according to the next paragraph) x 100/maximum availability. The “maximum availability” per month is 24 hours multiplied by the number of days in the respective calendar month. The actual availability is the time during which you have access to the data capture capabilities offered via API. When determining the availability achieved, the following periods in which service provision by the Provider is not possible for the reasons listed below will be deducted:
- Maintenance work, provided that such maintenance work is announced to you through the Anyline Support Status website at least 24 hours in advance, up to a maximum maintenance time of 5 hours per month. To receive notifications, users must subscribe via the page.
- Outages or failures of systems, system components or telecommunications infrastructure of ANYLINE or of third parties acting for ANYLINE in the event such outages or failures are the result of a force majeure event (such as fires, flood, earthquake, lightning strike, pandemics, etc) or events which are outside of the control of ANYLINE
- Malfunctions or failures that are caused, at least in part, by your use of the services in violation of your license agreement or otherwise improperly; this includes, in particular, use of the services outside the area of use specified in the description in the Datasheet, use by untrained personnel or unauthorised third parties, and failure to perform maintenance in accordance with Anyline’s guidelines

Disclaimer
Anyline Tire Tread Measurement provides a mere estimate of the tire depth at a given point on the tire. The result of the tire depth measurement does not indicate whether the tire is roadworthy or not. To check the roadworthiness, you need to consult with a mechanic. The results that the tire tread scanner provides only show the depth that the product has measured. We do not guarantee that this result correlates with reality. The parties expressly agree that no legal consequences may be derived from a result of the tire depth measurement that does not correspond to reality.
