The subject of the user contract is the free use of the profile for purposes within the scope of the cooperation with the ESA Business Incubation Centre Hessen, represented by cesah GmbH.
2. The creation of a profile requires the creation of a user account. This consists of a user name and a password ("log-in data").
3. The creation of a user account is only possible if the user provides a current email address. This email address is also used for communication with the operator.
4. The users assure that the data used in the creation of their profiles ("profile data") are accurate and complete. The use of pseudonyms is permissible to the extent that they can be assigned without doubt to a founding member. If there are doubts about the assignment, the profiles will not be activated or deleted.

The operator is at liberty to restrict access to the portal in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently, due to maintenance work, capacity concerns and other events beyond its control.

In particular, incorrectly quoted content may be removed or corrected by the moderators. The distribution and/or public reproduction of any content of the portal without the consent of the operator is prohibited.

1. Without the express permission of the operator, the users may only use the portal for purposes related to the cooperation and may not advertise for themselves or third parties. This means in particular that users may not use any content with advertising content without the consent of the operator and the recipient.

   • the use of software, scripts or databases in connection with the use of the portal
   • the automatic reading, blocking, overwriting, modification, copying of data and/or other content, unless this is necessary for the proper use of the portal
   • The upload of disproportionately large files

1. We make every effort to ensure that the services of cesah.com are available without interruption and that transmissions are error-free. However, due to the nature of the Internet, this cannot be guaranteed. User access to cesah.com services may also occasionally be interrupted or restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities. We will attempt to limit the frequency and duration of any such temporary interruptions or limitations. 
2. Unlimited liability: The operator is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and in accordance with the Product Liability Act. The operator shall be liable for slight negligence in the event of damage resulting from injury to life, limb and health of persons.
3. In other respects, the following limited liability applies: In the case of slight negligence, the operator is only liable in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which the users may regularly rely (cardinal obligation). The liability for slight negligence is limited to the amount of damages foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. This limitation of liability also applies to the benefit of the operator's vicarious agents.

2. The users agree that advertisements of third parties, of whatever kind, may be displayed on the pages.
3. The use of the portal makes the collection, processing and use of personal data by the operator unavoidable.

Any further use of personal data by the operator will only take place if this is legally permissible or if the users have given their prior consent.
4. Users also agree that the operator may use personal data of users for direct marketing purposes. This includes contacting users by e-mail for advertising purposes.
