1. Scope and Provider

These terms of use govern the relationship between the operator of the "Vernetzt" platform – mycoterie GbR, Schranzplatz 0c, 0660 2830071, info@mycoterie.com – and all natural or legal persons who create a user account or provide content on the platform.

By registering or using a public area of the platform for the first time, you agree to these terms. If you do not accept individual clauses, use of the platform is not permitted.

2. Service Description and Availability

Vernetzt is a digital community platform that provides its members with tools for networking, group communication and collaborative projects. The specific functions (forums, direct messages, event calendar, project boards) may vary depending on user role and tariff.

The operator strives for high availability of the services, but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Planned maintenance work will be announced on the platform in good time where possible.

3. Registration and Access Security

Registration is required to use most functions. You undertake to provide truthful and complete information when registering and to keep it up to date.

• You are responsible for the confidentiality of your access data (username, password).
• Any activity that takes place under your account is deemed to have been initiated by you, unless you have immediately reported the unauthorized access.
• The operator reserves the right to reject registrations without giving reasons or to block existing accounts if there is a violation of these terms.

4. User Obligations and Prohibited Content

Each user undertakes to comply with applicable laws and good morals and to respect the rights of third parties. In particular, it is prohibited to:

• Publish hate speech, extremist statements, discriminatory or defamatory content.
• Share copyrighted works without the consent of the rights holder.
• Place advertisements for cryptocurrencies, gambling, fraudulent offers or illegal activities.
• Harass, threaten or violate the privacy of other users.
• Create multiple accounts for abusive purposes.

The operator reserves the right to delete illegal content or content that violates these terms without prior notice and to warn or exclude the responsible user.

5. Liability and Warranty

The operator is fully liable for intent and gross negligence as well as for damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health. For simple negligence, the operator is only liable in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations); in this case, liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.

The platform is provided within the scope of technical and economic reasonableness. Liability for indirect damages, data loss or lost profits is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

6. Rights to Content and Licenses

All content uploaded or published by users (texts, images, graphics) remains the property of the respective author. However, by posting, you grant the operator a simple, time-limited right for the duration of use to display, store and process this content on the platform.

The operator may moderate, move or make content visible in other areas of the platform, provided this serves the purpose of the community. Commercial reuse of your content by the operator will only take place with your separate consent.

7. Term, Termination and Deletion

Use of the platform is generally for an indefinite period. You can delete your account at any time without giving reasons via the account settings. The operator can terminate the contractual relationship without notice for good cause, particularly in the event of violations of Section 4 of these terms.

After termination of use, your personal data will be deleted in accordance with the privacy policy, unless statutory retention obligations prevent this. Public contributions (e.g., forum posts) may be retained in anonymized form.

8. Changes to the Terms

The operator reserves the right to change these terms of use at any time with effect for the future, insofar as this is necessary for legal or technical reasons or the range of services is further developed.

You will be informed of material changes by email or by a notice on the platform at least four weeks before they come into effect. If you do not object within this period, the new terms will be deemed accepted. Your right to object remains unaffected; in the event of an objection, you can no longer use the platform.

9. Final Provisions

Should any provision of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. In place of the invalid provision, a regulation that comes closest to the economic purpose shall apply.

The law of the Republic of Austria shall apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of performance and jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship is, to the extent permitted by law, the registered office of the operator.
