The following conditions apply to all uses of the SCICOMED e.U. - hereinafter referred to as SCICOMED - under the address www.scicomed.net offered online database. The database contains scientific documentation sheets. The standardized structure of these documentation sheets serves, on the one hand, to enable the user to work in a time-efficient and cost-effective manner and, on the other hand, to support the transfer of data in the context of national and international scientific research projects. SCICOMED is an independent service provider and does not act on behalf of a user.
The database usage contract between SCICOMED and the user comes about through payment and subsequent activation. The remuneration for the use of the database is based on the price list valid at the time of the conclusion of the contract. The invoice amount is due immediately upon receipt of the invoice and must be paid without deduction within 14 days. If the remuneration is not paid, SCICOMED reserves the right to block access until the remuneration has been paid in full. The user has the right to withdraw from the contract within two weeks of conclusion without giving any reason. The revocation can be made in writing, by email or by telephone. Timely dispatch is sufficient to meet the deadline: After receipt of the revocation, SCICOMED is obliged to reimburse the user for any payments already made. The right of withdrawal expires when the user first accesses the database.
Within the contract period, the user can access the database as often and as long as desired. SCICOMED undertakes to keep the database available at an annual average of 97.5%. No responsibility can be assumed for faults in lines and services that are beyond the control of SCICOMED or its contractual partners. In case of doubt, the contract period is extended by the period in which the services of the SCICOMED online database were not available to the user. There is no monetary compensation.
The SCICOMED online database and its contents are protected by copyright. The user undertakes to use the database only for private or internal use. SCICOMED is entitled to exclude users from using the database if it is suspected that it is being misused. A reduction in the contractual entitlement to remuneration is hereby excluded.
The contract is concluded for the duration selected in each case. An extension requires a new contract to be concluded. Both contracting parties have the right to terminate the database usage contract for an important reason without notice. An important reason exists in particular if one of the two contracting parties violates their contractual obligations and a continuation of the contractual relationship is therefore unreasonable. In the event of extraordinary termination for which SCICOMED is not responsible, the user will not receive any monetary compensation or repayment of a (partial) amount of the remuneration due to the shortening of the period of use. For the other billing periods, SCICOMED will send the user an invoice no later than the last day of the first month of the new billing period. The invoice amount is due immediately upon receipt of the invoice and must be paid without deduction within 14 days. In the event of non-payment, SCICOMED reserves the right to block access until payment has been received.
The data set in the database is based on the information provided by the user. SCICOMED is not liable for incorrect information. SCICOMED accepts no liability for financial losses or losses, direct or indirect, that arise from the use or non-use of the information stored in the database.
