Terms and Conditions of Use

General Terms of Use

1. Operator, scope of application

(1) The website www.junisa.de (www.junisa.ru and www.junisa.org) is offered and operated by the Junisa GmbH (hereinafter called "junisa.de"). Contact data and more details about the Junisa GmbH can be retrieved under “Imprint” (“Impressum”) at any time.

(2) The General Terms and Conditions apply unless otherwise provided by rules (in particular Special Conditions of Use) for the use of the basic service of junisa.de. In case of conflicting rules, the more specific rules have precedence over rules that are less specific.

(3) By using junisa.de and the offered services, the user acknowledges the Terms of Use. If the user does not want to acknowledge the General Terms of Use, he may not use junisa.de and the services.


(4) Own Terms and Conditions of Use of the users that conflict with or deviate from the present Terms of Use will not apply unless junisa.de explicitly confirms them. An omission of an objection regarding foreign Terms and Conditions of Use or Terms of Use will not result in an agreement in this respect.

 

2. Non-remuneration

Use of the basic service of junisa.de is free of charge. However, the use of the services requires an internet connection. Costs may incur for the connection that are based solely on the agreement concluded between the customer and his telecommunication service provider.


3. Commercial Use

Offered services are directed at any natural person of legal age. The industrial and / or commercial use is prohibited. Health insurance companies, embassies and consulates are exempted from the prohibition.


4. Availability

(1) The platform is regularly maintained and updated. However, the occurrence of errors cannot be ruled out even with regular maintenance.

(2) A constant availability of the offered services cannot be guaranteed. Junisa reserves the right to change the services completely or partially or cease them completely at any time and without prior notice. A claim to use of the service – even after registration – does not accrue.
 

5. Registration

(1) Registration is not required for visiting junisa.de. But junisa.de reserves the right to make the use of individual services conditional upon a registration. The user can register free of charge on junisa.de at any time to take full advantage of the services offered by junisa.de.


(2) There is no right to registration. Junisa.de reserves the right to reject individual registrations without giving any reason.

(3) For the registration, the user must provide a minimum of information: name, citizenship, e-mail address, date of birth and a freely chosen username. The user gives an assurance that all personal data provided on registration are correct.


(3) After submission of the minimum information, the user receives a registration e-mail with a password sent by junisa.de. The generated password by junisa.de only allows a one-time registration. During the first login, the user must, therefore, choose an own password.

(4) The user is bound to keep the access data and the password secret and protect them from unauthorized use by third parties.

(5) If the user finds out or suspects that his/her access data was misused, he/she is required to notify junisa.de accordingly without delay. The user is liable for the consequences of any third-party use, insofar as he is responsible for the access data being misused. The user is especially responsible for the misuse of the access data if he/she negligently facilitated the use of these data. The user's liability only lapses once he/she has informed junisa.de about the access data getting lost, and has altered the password if necessary.

 (6) Junisa.de is authorized to block temporarily or permanently the access data of the user without giving any reasons in the event of a breach of these Conditions of Use, especially in the case of:
 

  • incorrect information during registration and/or
  • unauthorized disclosure of access data

A re-registration in such cases is only possible with the explicit approval of junisa.de.

 

6. Rules of Conduct and Exclusion from Use

Furthermore, contents are prohibited that violate the right to protection of privacy and intimacy, or in any other way the general right of privacy of third parties.


(3) Submitted photos may only show the user himself or objects.

(2) The use of junisa.de and especially the download of content (such as brochures, quality reports, etc.) may only be carried out for non-commercial, private purposes. Any other reproduction, distribution, public disclosure, or other use is prohibited without the express consent by Junisa and possibly by the third party as the author.

(3) Junisa.de allows the registered user to provide a non-public inquiry and to forward parts or the complete medical findings of him/her for purposes of initiating a contract. These and other data obtained from the users will be treated with maximum confidentiality. However, junisa.de points out that an unauthorized access and corruption of information by third parties cannot be excluded due to insecure data transfer via the internet.

(4) Junisa.de reserves the right to share these data in their real or anonymized form for the purposes of obtaining information for cost estimates, treatment and therapy plans and the organization of all services offered by junisa.de or third parties. Junisa.de needs the rights to the texts written or uploaded by the user, personal data, pictures, videos, graphics, etc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Content") in order to provide the service. For this purpose, the user grants the following rights:

By posting content on the platform or sending data via the request form, the user grants junisa.de the simple, temporally and spatially unlimited, transferable rights to use the contents – if necessary even in non-anonym form – to the extent necessary to provide the performance of the contractual services. This comprises, in particular, the right to reproduce the contents, make the contents publicly available, transmit, edit and otherwise reproduce the contents publicly.

10. Warranty

(1) Use of the services is solely at the own risk of the user. The user is solely responsible for any damage that he/she suffers in connection with the use of junisa.de, especially for damages to his/her computer system or any data loss, which was caused by the use of the offered services.

(5) The user guarantees that he/she is entitled to publish his/her contents, and that he/she especially does not violate any third party rights or mandatory legislations. The customer is obliged and ensures to respect the rules of conduct laid down in article 6 para. 1 to 6 and that he/she does not upload or publish any content on the platform that violates this code of conduct.

11. Liability and indemnity

(1) The liability of junisa.de is limited to damages that were caused intentionally or were the result of serious negligence by junisa.de, their legal representatives or performing agents. This does not apply to damages to life, limb or health, or a guarantee that has been given.

(2) The limitation of liability shall not apply in cases of violation of a cardinal obligation, i.e. an essential contractual obligation, which is imperative for the proper fulfilment of the contract and on whose fulfilment the user shall be able to rely. Should junisa.de not have acted in a willful or grossly negligent manner while violating the cardinal obligation, the liability is limited to typical damages that were reasonably foreseeable at the time of entering into the agreement.

(3) Junisa.de assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the published contents, especially not for content posted by third parties, in particular, users, clinics or partner companies, and not for any content on websites of third parties which is accessible through links on junisa.de.

(5) The user is liable to junisa.de according to the statutory provisions, as well as for any damages that arise from violations of these Terms of Use.

(6) The user is obliged to release junisa.de, its legal representatives and / or vicarious agents from all claims caused due to the fact that the user used the offered services without authorization or that he/she did not use the services correctly, and that he/she especially violated these Terms of Use and thereby rights of a third party were infringed. The indemnity includes the assumption of reasonable costs for legal services that junisa.de had to bear in order to defend itself vigorously against any raised claim.

12. Data protection

Junisa.de places the highest value on the protection and security of personal data of the users, and is well aware of its responsibilities for the sensitive data. It respects the relevant provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). Details on the handling of personal data can be found in the Data Privacy Statement.

13. Amendment of the Terms of Use

Junisa.de reserves the right to amend or supplement these Terms of Use at any time. Registered users will be informed about it in writing (via e-mail). In addition, the amended terms will be displayed at a suitable place on the platform. The new Terms of Use are considered as accepted if the user does not revoke within one month of receipt of the notification, or subsequent to the disclosure or notification uses the services provided by junisa.de again without clarifying that the amendments were disapproved by him/her.

14. Transferability of Services

(1) Junisa.de reserves the right to transfer the offered services, in whole or in part, to an affiliated company related to junisa.de or to an independent third-party company – for example in the event of a company sale. In this case, the company takes over the services and enters the rights and obligations of junisa.de to the corresponding extent.

(2) Junisa.de informs the user with a minimum period of one month on the proposed acquisition by specifying the acquiring company. In this case, the user has the right to terminate the relationship of use extraordinarily with a period of one month after receipt of the notification. Should the deadline expire without the customer making the appropriate declaration, the use relationship will continue with the acquiring companies. Junisa.de points out separately the period of notice and consequences of non-compliance in the notification concerning the acquisition.

15. Advertising, Newsletter

(1) The service by junisa.de that is, in principle, free for the user requires considerable expenses. Therefore, junisa.de reserves the right to offer the user advertising of third parties, e.g. in the form of banners.

(2) Apart from the basic services, junisa.de also reserves the right to send the user, at irregular intervals, newsletter and news with advertising content about new services offered by junisa.de and its partner companies. This newsletter will be sent only after prior consent of the user and can be canceled at any time by sending an e-mail to info@junisa.de or by using the appropriate options in the settings of user profile. Junisa.de points out this option separately in every newsletter.

16. Final Provisions

(1) The General Terms and Conditions are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, to the extent that mandatory consumer protection laws do not contradict this provision.

(2) Munich is agreed as the place of jurisdiction, provided that the
 

  • user has no general jurisdiction within the country,
  • user moved his/her domicile or habitual residence abroad after registering on junisa.de
  • domicile or habitual residence of the user is unknown at the time of filing action, or
  • user is a merchant, legal entity of public law or of special fund under public law

(3) Requests, notifications and consents in accordance with these Terms of Use must be made in writing. E-mails and fax fulfil the requirement of being in writing. The same applies for pressing the relevant (confirmation) button.

(4) If any provisions of these Terms of Use should be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. In place of the ineffective or impracticable regulation steps a regulation, which comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the agreement. The same applies in the event of a loophole.
