Terms of use

1. Subject matter and scope of these Terms of Use

These terms of use govern your and our rights and obligations in connection with the use of our guest WLAN access.

2. Our services

(1) We provide you with access to the Internet in our business premises in the form of a WiFi access („hotspot“) for use.
(2) The provision of the hotspot depends on our respective technical and operational possibilities. There is no entitlement to a functioning hotspot or a specific local coverage of the hotspot.
(3) Furthermore, we do not guarantee that the hotspot can be used without disruption or interruption. Nor can we guarantee any transmission speeds.
(4) We reserve the right to change, restrict or discontinue access to the hotspot without prior notice in the event of necessary technical repair and maintenance work.
(5) There is no entitlement to use certain services via the hotspot. In particular, ports may be blocked. As a rule, surfing the Internet and sending and receiving e-mails is enabled.

3. Access and utilisation

(1) We only offer our guest WiFi for visitors to our company. It is not a publicly accessible telecommunications service, but an internal WLAN for guests of our company.
(2) The prerequisite for use is that you first register to use the hotspot and/or accept the validity of these terms of use at the start of using the hotspot. This can usually be done by selecting the hotspot as a WLAN network in the end device via a registration form or a welcome page that can then be called up.
(3) There is no entitlement to use the hotspot. We are free to restrict or discontinue access to the hotspot at any time without giving reasons.
(4) The current version of these terms of use applies, which will be made available to you when you register for the hotspot.

4. Access data

(1) If you have provided login data (e.g. user name, password, email, etc.) in the course of registration, you must keep them secret and not make them accessible to unauthorised third parties.
(2) If you have received registration data, you must ensure that access to and use of the hotspot with your user data is exclusively by you as the user. You must inform us immediately if there are any facts that justify the assumption that unauthorised third parties have obtained or will obtain knowledge of your access data.
(3) As a user, you are liable for any use and/or other activity carried out under your access data in accordance with the statutory provisions.

5. Your obligations as a user

(1) You are obliged to provide any information that you provide about yourself when using the service truthfully.
(2) You are obliged to comply with the applicable laws when using our hotspot.
(3) Further obligations arising from other provisions of these terms of use remain unaffected.

6. Prices

Please refer to the price list for the current costs of the service or ask us.

7. Availability of services

As our services are provided free of charge, you are not entitled to use the hotspot. However, we endeavour to ensure that the hotspot can be used as uninterruptedly as possible.

8. Prohibited acts

As a user, you are prohibited from any actions when using the hotspot that violate applicable law, infringe the rights of third parties or violate the principles of the protection of minors. In particular, the following actions are prohibited:

• the posting, distribution, offering and advertising of pornographic content, services and/or products that violate youth protection laws, data protection laws and/or other laws and/or fraudulent content, services and/or products;
• publishing or making available content that insults or defames other participants or third parties;
• the use, provision and distribution of content, services and/or products that are legally protected or encumbered with third-party rights (e.g. copyrights) without being expressly authorised to do so;
• the making available to the public of copyright-protected works or other acts in breach of copyright, in particular when using so-called „Internet file-sharing networks“ or file-sharing services.

Furthermore, the following activities are also prohibited, irrespective of any violation of the law, when posting your own content on the service provider's website and when communicating with other users (e.g. by sending personal messages, participating in discussion forums, etc.):

• the transmission of above-average data volumes and, in particular, the continuous transmission of such data volumes;
• the hosting of a web server or other servers by using a hotspot of the service provider;
• changing the default DNS servers in the network settings of the service provider's hotspot;
• the sending of junk or spam mails and chain letters;
• the spread of viruses, Trojans and other malicious files;
• the dissemination of lewd, offensive, sexually explicit, obscene or defamatory content or communication as well as content or communication that is likely to promote or support racism, fanaticism, hatred, physical violence or unlawful acts (in each case explicitly or implicitly);
• requesting other users or third parties to disclose passwords or personal data for commercial or illegal or unlawful purposes.

Also prohibited is any action that is likely to impair the smooth operation of our hotspot, in particular to place a disproportionately high load on our systems.

9. Blocking access

We may temporarily or permanently block your access to the hotspot at any time if there are concrete indications that you are violating or have violated these terms of use and/or applicable law or if we have any other legitimate interest in blocking your access.

10. Exemption from liability

(1) As a user, you are responsible for all actions you take in connection with the use of the Internet via our hotspot.
(2) You shall indemnify us against all claims asserted against us by third parties due to a breach by the user of statutory provisions, third-party rights (in particular personal rights, copyrights and trademark rights) or contractual obligations, assurances or guarantees, including the costs of the necessary legal defence (legal fees and court costs in the statutory amount) upon first request.
(3) In the event of the assertion of claims within the meaning of Clause 10 (2), you are obliged to cooperate immediately and fully in the clarification of the facts and to provide us with the necessary information in a suitable manner.

11. Limitation of liability

(1) We shall be liable without limitation in the event of intent or gross negligence for all damages caused by us.
(2) In the event of slight negligence, we shall be liable without limitation in the event of injury to life, limb or health.
(3) Otherwise, we shall only be liable insofar as we have breached a material contractual obligation. Essential contractual obligations are abstractly defined as those obligations whose fulfilment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the user may regularly rely. In these cases, liability is limited to compensation for foreseeable, typically occurring damages.
(4) Insofar as our liability is excluded or limited in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, this shall also apply to our vicarious agents.
(5) Liability under the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected.

12. Data protection

(1) We ensure that your personal data is only collected, stored and processed insofar as this is necessary for the contractual provision of services and is permitted by law or ordered by the legislator.
(2) In the event that declarations of consent under data protection law are obtained from you in the context of using our services, please note that you can revoke these at any time with effect for the future.
(3) In order to provide the hotspot services for you, it is necessary to use personal data from your end device. In this context, the MAC addresses of end devices may also be temporarily stored. Furthermore, we may store log data („log files“) on the type and scope of use of the services for 7 days. This data cannot be directly assigned to your person.

13. Final provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, whereby the validity of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded.
(2) If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, our registered office shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship.
(3) Should individual provisions of these Terms of Use be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
