The user expressly agrees that AVIPEO begins providing the service before the possibly existing revocation period (see fig. 1 above) ends.

5. The duration of the user contract is for an indefinite period.

6. The platform offer is supplemented by the AVIPEO app, which can be downloaded in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. By registering on the platform, the user can also use the features of the app, once the app is installed on the user's device/terminal; conversely, the user of the app also receives a profile on the platform.

7. The registered user has the possibility to terminate the user contract and delete his/her account at any point of time. The termination of the account can be submitted by mail or via E-mail to AVIPEO.

§ 3 Costs

The use of the platform is generally free of charge. Registered users can use certain offers/functions, such as placing ads, for a fee. As far as costs arise for additional offers, these shall be indicated on the platform in connection with the respective offer. A separate contract shall be brought about for these offers/functions.

§ 4 Posting Information by Registered Users

1. For registered users, AVIPEO offers a platform function where news, opinions and information can be exchanged. In addition, registered users can create an own profile and upload texts, photos, publications as well as videos on the platform. This also includes that users, by posting appropriate information with keywords (tags), can be found by other users and companies searching for certain keywords and/or tags. Registered users can also place ads. Such advertisements are placed through integration of the shop system provided by OXID eSales AG (http://www.oxid-esales.com/); afterwards, the ads are posted on the AVIPEO platform.

2. Polite and respectful conduct of the registered users among each other is expected. The use or pretense of fake identity is prohibited; the same applies for offensive, racist or sexist comments and contributions. It is not permitted to publish any contents containing viruses, other malicious software, files or programs, that were developed to disturb, damage, limit or interfere with the function of software, hardware or telecommunication devices, or gain unauthorized access to systems, data, passwords or other information of AVIPEO or third parties.

3. When posting news, information, photos and files, registered users shall also observe the national and international copyrights and trademarks, patents rights, right to names and labels, as well as any other industrial property rights and personal rights of third parties. Also, any unauthorized form of advertising over the platform is also prohibited. Intellectual property rights (such as copyrights and trademark rights) to any contents, such as photos/texts, logos etc. of AVIPEO are owned by AVIPEO and may not be taken over/utilized by users.

4. AVIPEO is authorized (but not obligated) to check all information published by registered users (including hyperlinks) to determine whether the legal requirements have been complied with. Otherwise AVIPEO, among other things, shall be entitled to delete the respective information from the platform. In such cases, registered users shall be informed by AVIPEO via E-mail of the deletion.

5. Registered users shall be obligated to indemnify AVIPEO, the Hanse-Aerospace Wirtschaftsdienst GmbH and the Hanse-Aerospace e.V. as well as any of their subsidiaries, joint enterprises, agents and employees, from legal action or other claims and damages of any kind which could arise due to improper use of the platform. Above all, registered users shall undertake to release AVIPEO from liability with regard to claims based on infringement of the personal honor of others or resulting from insult or any other misconduct or disparagement. Also, AVIPEO shall be indemnified from liability claims on behalf of registered users resulting from services which have not been rendered or because of violated other rights (especially infringements regarding copyright, competition law and trademarks). Should AVIPEO incur legal costs in order to counter damage claims by third parties resulting from one of the aforementioned violations, then the registered user must bear these costs in this case; this derives from the obligation to indemnify.

§ 5 Data Protection

1. AVIPEO ensures to handle all personal data provided by registered users carefully and responsibly. By registering on the platform, the user declares of being aware, that data provided in connection with the user profile can be visible to other users of the platform.

3. As a general rule, third parties shall not receive personal data of an AVIPEO user, unless the user has prior expressly permitted this, the data transfer is necessary for the execution of the contracts (e.g. transmission of the contact data to the contract partner for handling an order via this Platform) or there is a legal obligation for transfer of the data (e.g. to authorities, in particular to tax authorities for investigation of a tax liability).If a registered user has granted permission to transfer the data, this can be revoked at any time through a simple message via E-mail or by mail. In case of justified suspicion of an infringement, which AVIPEO considers given for example in case of legal correspondence and/or if a complaint is filed, AVIPEO shall first contact the user and request commenting. After this, AVIPEO shall decide at its own discretion to block the account as well as to provide the user data. In addition, AVIPEO reserves the right to assert claims for damages against the user, if AVIPEO is claimed on by third parties (including authorities) based on false statements and/or incorrect information on behalf of this user.

4. In other respects, the contents of the current Privacy Statement shall apply, which can be viewed under www.avipeo.com/privacy and in the footer at the bottom of the platform.

§ 6 Liability

1. AVIPEO is generally not responsible and shall not assume any liability for the information entered by registered users. To this extent, AVIPEO is a platform that provides only external contents.

The users themselves are responsible for the compatibility of their actions with the respectively applicable law, including the rules on cross-border imports and exports and the customs regulations.

3. Should third parties succeed in obtaining access to private data of a registered user by means of illegal practices (e.g. so-called “hacking”), AVIPEO shall not assume any liability whatsoever. AVIPEO shall also not be liable when registered users have independently made data available to third parties, which are subject to misuse by the third parties.

4. The liability limitations above shall not apply in case of gross negligence or intent on behalf of AVIPEO or persons employed by AVIPEO.

In other respects, AVIPEO shall only assume liability with regard to users and registered users for minor negligence when violating essential contractual obligations – meaning such that are indispensable for achieving the contract objective (cardinal obligations) – as well as in case of injury to life, body or health, granted warranty, malice and in accordance with the Product Liability Act. In case of breach of cardinal obligations, the liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage.
