§ 2 IMP Software / Availability
IMP is an internet-based career service which provides users with software for searching and communicating on the IMP platform. IMP makes it easier to search for job adverts published by companies and to locate users by recruiters & any other companies (headhunters and HR managers/corporate recruiters). In addition, IMP provides software-based tools for publishing content (e.g., CVs). However, it is pointed out that IMP’s services do not include finding jobs. In this respect, IMP explicitly draws attention to the liability regulations in section 11.
IMP offers internet users the option of using the internet platform made available at the internet domains and different career and communication services. Each user has access to the IMP Platform – against payment, the amount of which depends on the category to which the user belongs to. The use of the entire content of the IMP software with all features is only possible to users who register for a premium membership, for which a fee is payable (cf. section 6).
With full registration, users are given the non-transferable, non-exclusive right to use and make their own copy of the IMP software provided by the IMP internet portal only for their own purposes in accordance with these T&C. Each other use of the IMP software requires explicit, separate, prior written consent from IMP. This particularly applies to the reproduction, transfer, distribution or making available in any way, whether in return for payment or free of charge, of the IMP software or copies of the IMP software, or parts thereof, to third parties, even if this is on computers belonging to the user. > one username concerns only one person.
IMP reserves all rights to change, interrupt or discontinue in any way all or individual features of the software either temporarily or permanently with or without rendering a notice to the user. The user declares he is in agreement that IMP is not liable to him or third parties with respect to changes, interruptions or the discontinuation of individual or all services.
IMP will make every reasonable effort to make the software features available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and to guarantee the maximum possible server availability. However, it is explicitly stated that IMP cannot guarantee 100 % availability.
All IMP content is protected by copyright. Copying of content, especially user profiles or e-mail addresses, and publishing it elsewhere shall be forbidden without the prior written consent from IMP.
Registration in accordance with section 1, para. 3, in no way constitutes a transfer of title or usage rights, licences or other rights to the user. All rights to codes, titles, brands, trademarks, copyrights and other commercial rights held by IMP remain with IMP without restriction, except the right to use the IMP software. All working results and information published are subject to IMP’s copyright.

Also included in this exception is user-initiated forwarding of application documents to the contacted recruiter (headhunter and/or HR managers/corporate recruiters). The user can individually determine at any time to which group of persons his profile is to be displayed in full or anonymously, and whether to forward application documents.
