The CSC Communities can only be used if you join the corresponding community. The user agreement shall enter into effect once your account is activated by CSC. There is no legal entitlement to activation or participation in CSC communities.
§ 22 Duties of the contracting parties
The CSC Communities (and therefore the accounts used by CSC Communities) are only to be used by the contracting parties themselves. The parties are responsible for protecting them against misuse. The access data are therefore to be protected from access by third parties.

The contracting parties undertake not to publish any contributions that infringe the rights of third parties or the applicable law, in particular in contravention of copyright or trademark protection, or against morality. The contracting parties shall refrain from using trademarked words and internet addresses as their username (nickname). The publishing of, inter alia, offensive or false content, sending spam via the system to other users, and anti-competitive action, shall count as an offence against common decency, along with posting topics multiple times in CSC communities (prohibition of double posting), publishing third-party press articles in the CSC Communities without the author's consent, and advertising in the CSC Communities without express written consent of the provider. So-called surreptitious advertising such as, in particular, linking one's own homepage with, or without text, in one's signature, or within posts, also counts as offence against common decency. Homepage URLs and address or contact information may only be published in the CSC Communities user's profile.
The contracting parties undertake, before publishing, to check their posts and topics for content that the contracting parties do not wish to publish. Your contributions and topics can be captured by search engines and made accessible worldwide. Claims against the CSC for the deletion or correction of such search engine entries are excluded.
If third parties or students or businesses assert claims against the CSC for possible violations of law that result from the content posted by the parties and/or resulting from the use of the CSC's services by the contracting parties, the contracting parties undertake to indemnify the CSC from any claims, including claims for damages, and to compensate the CSC for any costs it incurs as a result of the possible infringement. The CSC is in particular exempted from the costs of the necessary legal defence. The CSC is entitled to demand a reasonable advance from the contracting parties. The contracting parties are obliged to support the CSC in good faith in the legal defence against third parties by providing information and documents. All further rights and claims to damages on the part of the CSC remain unaffected. If the contracting parties are not responsible for the possible infringement, the aforementioned obligations do not apply.
§ 23 Rights of the CSC
In the event of breach of the obligations set out in §24 the CSC may impose the following sanctions on the contracting parties regardless of termination, deletion or alteration of content by the contracting parties: a warning or blocking of access to the CSC Communities. Blocking access to the CSC Communities is possible if there is reasonable suspicion that the parties are violating these Terms of Use. The contracting parties may avoid such action being taken if they counter any such suspicion at their own expense by providing appropriate evidence.
§ 24 Copyright and Right of Use
The copyright for topics and contributions published by the contracting parties remains, insofar as they are eligible for copyright, with the contracting parties. The contracting parties shall grant the CSC the right to permanently post the topic or post. This right of use also exists in case of termination of the Community account.
§ 25 Disclaimer
The CSC assumes no responsibility for the correctness of posts published in the Communities by the contracting parties.
