3 User
Obligations
(1)
Compliance with applicable legal provisions: Users undertake not to violate

the right to delete contributions that do not comply with the rules of fair
discussion and morality due to their choice of language or content, or that do
not show sufficient consideration for the interests of other participants. The

for the classification of the contributions. IME hereby expressly prohibits the
posting of racist, pornographic, obscene, inhuman and immoral contributions.

4
Liability and Contents
(1)
Liability for links. IME assumes no responsibility for the content of linked
websites. If a link is created by IME, IME hereby expressly declares that at
the time the link was created, no illegal content was apparent on the linked
pages. This declaration applies to all links on this website as well as those
in guest books, discussion forums and similar services set up by IME, whose can
be accessed and altered from the outside. On no account, IME is responsible for
the content of websites that refer to IME. IME is also not able to detect or
verify links to its websites.
(2)
Liability for external content: In the case of content by outside companies as
well as private individuals (especially in discussion forums and chats), the
website merely provides the medium technically.
Such
content made available to the user by third parties is information provided by
the corresponding author or distributor and not by IME. IME is therefore not
responsible for the accuracy, correctness or reliability of such content under
any circumstances. In particular, IME is not liable for any loss or damage
incurred by the user as a result of relying on such information.
(3)
Furthermore, IME has no influence on how the content offered here is used by
the user and can therefore not be held liable for any damages, lost benefits or
other direct or indirect consequences arising from the use of the content
offered here.
(4) Despite
regular data backup measures, no guarantee can be given for entered data and
work results of the users. Liability for data loss is therefore excluded.
(5) IME
excludes any liability due to technical or other malfunctions.
5
Copyright
(1) All
content published on the websites of IME, such as texts, images, graphics,
sound, video and animation files as well as databases may be protected by
copyright. A duplication and passing on of the contents is not permitted.
(2) The use
of the contents is only permitted for private personal use. Any use beyond this
requires the prior consent of IME; this applies in particular to the commercial
and private reproduction, modification, distribution or storage of information
or data, especially of texts, parts of texts and image material.
(3) In all
other respects, the legal limits of copyright and/or other applicable legal regulations
apply.
(4) Users
undertake not to provide their login data to any third party or assume full
responsibility for everything that is entered via this login.
6 Data Protection
The basis
for data processing is Art. 6 par. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing
of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
By
registering, the user agrees that collected data may be stored for internal
administration and processed anonymously for statistical purposes. A transfer
of personal data to third parties does not take place unless it is the explicit
wish of the user.
(1) Use of
the learning platform: The use of the learning platform is only possible with a
user account. The following personal data is stored by IME: first and last name
of the user, e-mail address.
This
information is necessary to identify you as a user in the system. In addition,
you can enter further personal data voluntarily, e.g. to provide information
about yourself in the Personal Profile. You can change and remove this
voluntary information at any time on the "Personal Data and Profile"
page. You can activate this page in the upper right corner via your avatar. In the
Profile tab of this page you also specify whether your "Personal
Profile" is displayed to other users and what information is shown.
(2) Access
to personal data: Only the system administrators of the installation have
unrestricted access to your personal data. In addition, personal data can still
be viewed by the administrators of the courses and groups you are a member of -
either because you joined them yourself or were registered by third parties. An
overview of all courses and groups you are a member of can be found on your
Personal Desktop on the "My Courses and Groups" page. There you can
also terminate your course or group membership via the Actions menu if you no
longer wish to be a member.
(3) Storage
period of personal data: Personal data will be stored as long as the user
account of the respective user exists. The data will be deleted as soon as the
user account itself is deleted.
(4) Server
log files: With each page view, the web server collects and stores information
in the server log files. Your browser automatically transmits these to our
server. These are: browser type and browser version, operating system used,
referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of server request, IP
address.
(5)
Cookies: The learning platform uses both temporary cookies, which become
invalid after the end of the session or when the browser is closed, and cookies
that are saved for a longer period of time. You can use your browser settings
to see which cookies have been set and delete them if necessary. However, for
technical reasons it is not possible to use the learning platform without
cookies.
7 Other
Provisions
(1) German
law is exclusively applicable.
(2) Should
individual provisions of the Terms of Use be invalid or lose their validity due
to a circumstance that occurs at a later date, the validity of the rest of the
contract shall remain unaffected.
