General concluding provisions
1. What happens on breach or infringement of third party rights?
- 1.1 Should there exist concrete reasons to believe that you have contravened legal provisions, infringed third party rights or breached these General Contract Terms and Conditions, or should we have any other legitimate interest, in particular the protection of other users from deception or fraud, the following measures shall be open to us:
-
- - Deletion of offers or other contents
- - User caution
- - Limitation/restriction of use of the online service provided by WhiteWall
- - Temporary blockage
- - Definitive blockage
- In the choice of measure applied, we shall take into account your legitimate interests wherever possible, in particular, whether concrete reasons exist to believe that the breach occurred without fault.
- 1.2 We shall be entitled to ban all further use of the WhiteWall website (definitive blockage), where
-
- - you have entered incorrect contact details, in particular an incorrect or invalid e-mail address;
- - you cause considerable damage to use, in particular where our services are abused;
- - you breach these General Contract Terms and Conditions;
- - any other good reason exists.
- 1.3 Following definitive blockage, no right of restoration of access to our service shall exist. Any further use of the WhiteWall website, including through other member accounts, shall be prohibited. Re-registration is not allowed.
2. System integrity and disruption of the WhiteWall website
- 2.1 All use of mechanisms, software or other scripts capable of disrupting the function of the WhiteWall website when used in conjunction with this website shall be prohibited.
- 2.2 All use which may result in an unreasonable or excessive burden on WhiteWall infrastructure is prohibited. It shall be forbidden to block, overwrite or modify any contents generated by us, or otherwise cause disruption to the functioning of the WhiteWall website.
- 2.3 Contents held on the WhiteWall website may not be copied or disseminated, nor may they be used or reproduced in any other form, without prior consent from the right holder.
