Website Terms of Use
The German version of these Terms is the legally binding version. The English version is provided for convenience.
§ 1Scope
(1) These Terms govern the use of the websites at unisession.co and silo.unisession.co (together, “the Website”) by all visitors (the “User”).
(2) By accessing the Website, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are not permitted to use the Website.
(3) Any deviating, conflicting, or supplementary terms of the User shall only become part of any contract if and to the extent that the provider has expressly agreed to their application in writing.
§ 2Provider
The provider and operator of the Website is Benjamin Howell, Kolonnenstraße 8, 10827 Berlin, Germany (the “Provider”). Full provider details are set out in the Imprint.
§ 3Services
(1) The Website provides information about the Provider’s services, products, and plans. Any contact channels offered on the Website (in particular email links) serve for non-binding initial contact.
(2) Use of the Website is free of charge. There is no entitlement to availability, uptime, or specific functionality. In particular, the Provider does not warrant any specific availability of the Website (no SLA).
(3) The Provider is entitled to change or discontinue the content, functions, or availability of the Website at any time.
§ 4User Obligations and Prohibited Use
The User undertakes not to misuse the Website. In particular, it is prohibited to:
- scrape, crawl, copy, or systematically search the Website or its content using
automated means, unless permitted by a machine-readable allow-file
(e.g.
robots.txt); - circumvent or impair security mechanisms;
- use the Website to harass, deceive, or cause harm to third parties;
- load the Website with requests in a manner that impairs availability for others (e.g. DoS / DDoS attacks);
- distribute or upload illegal, harmful-to-minors, or otherwise unlawful content via the Website;
- use the Website to distribute malware or other harmful content.
§ 5Intellectual Property
(1) All content on the Website (in particular text, images, logos, trademarks, designs, and source code) is protected by copyright and, unless otherwise indicated, is owned by the Provider or its licensors.
(2) Reproduction, modification, distribution, or any other exploitation of the content – in whole or in part – beyond the limits of German copyright law (UrhG) requires the prior written consent of the Provider or the respective rights holder.
(3) Downloads and copies of individual pages are permitted exclusively for private, non-commercial use.
(4) The “Inter” typeface used on the Website is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. A copy of the license is available on the Website.
§ 6Liability
(1) The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health. Liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) remains unaffected.
(2) For ordinary negligence, the Provider is only liable for the breach of essential contractual obligations (so-called cardinal duties), and then only limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the User may regularly rely.
(3) Otherwise, the Provider’s liability – on whatever legal grounds – is excluded.
(4) The above limitations of liability also apply to the personal liability of the Provider’s vicarious agents and legal representatives.
(5) The Provider assumes no liability for the content of third-party websites linked from the Website. Linked pages were checked at the time of linking; permanent monitoring does not take place. If the Provider becomes aware of a legal violation, the link will be removed without delay.
§ 7Specific Limitations of Liability
(1) Content and consequences of third-party actions. The content provided on the Website is for general information purposes only. It does not constitute legal, tax, medical, technical, financial, or other professional advice and is not a substitute for such advice. The Provider assumes no liability for damages arising from the fact that Users, potential or existing customers, other third parties, or automated systems deployed by them – including AI agents and AI models – access, interpret, share, or make decisions or take actions based on Website content. This applies in particular to damages that such persons or systems cause to themselves, to other persons, to companies, or to assets. The User’s own responsibility remains unaffected; mandatory liability under § 6 (1) remains unaffected.
(2) Advertising and product descriptions. All product and service descriptions, roadmap statements, feature announcements, pricing information (unless expressly marked as a binding offer), and other promotional statements published on the Website are non-binding and forward-looking. They do not constitute a quality agreement (Beschaffenheitsvereinbarung) within the meaning of § 434 BGB nor a guarantee (Garantie) within the meaning of § 443 BGB and do not give rise to contractual claims. The content, scope, and availability of future products and services may change at any time. Binding product or service descriptions arise exclusively from individual contracts between the Provider and the respective contractual partner. Claims arising from disappointed expectations derived from promotional content or product announcements are excluded insofar as no binding offer exists; mandatory liability under § 6 (1) remains unaffected.
(3) Availability and service interruptions. The Provider does not warrant any specific availability of the Website or of any future services or products. Damages arising from unavailability, planned or unplanned service interruptions, maintenance, technical failures, failures of upstream services (in particular internet access, DNS, hosting provider, CDN), force majeure, or comparable events are excluded from liability. This applies both to interruptions of the Website itself and to delays or interruptions of the availability of future products or services, insofar as these are not otherwise governed by binding contractual terms. Mandatory liability under § 6 (1) remains unaffected.
§ 8Data Protection
Information about the processing of personal data when using the Website can be found in our Privacy Policy.
§ 9Changes to These Terms
(1) The Provider may amend these Terms at any time with effect for the future. The version published at the time the Website is accessed shall apply.
(2) Material changes that would alter an existing usage relationship to the User’s detriment will be communicated separately once paid or registration-based services are offered.
§ 10Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers with their habitual residence in another EU Member State, mandatory provisions of consumer protection law in that state remain unaffected.
§ 11Jurisdiction
The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be Berlin, Germany, insofar as the User is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law. For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.
§ 12Severability
Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by the corresponding statutory provision.
