1.3.5 Password and profile
You enter a free user contract with us by logging in or registering. The password that allows you to access the personal area is strictly confidential and may not be disclosed to third parties under any circumstances.

We are entitled to make subsequent amendments and additions to the General Terms of Use with existing contractual relationships, insofar as changes in legislation or case law make this necessary or other circumstances lead to the contractual equivalence relationship being disturbed to a more than insignificant extent. A subsequent amendment to the General Terms of Use shall become effective if you do not object within six weeks after notification of the amendment. At the beginning of the period, we will expressly draw your attention to the effect of your silence as acceptance of the contractual amendment and allow you to make an express declaration during the period. If you object within the time limit, both we and you may terminate the contractual relationship without notice, unless we allow the contractual relationship to continue under the old General Terms of Use.
2. Description of services
2.1 General
Our platform “ento-connect” offers you a global social network focusing on the insect industry. Here you can, among other things, connect and exchange information with other users, create events, post articles in our forum and exchange information with other users or simply inform yourself within the network or on our blog. We only provide you with the technical interface, but we do not become a contractual partner if you conclude contracts with other users via our platform or if you are in an exchange with them.
2.2 Performance
We are entitled to have the contract or parts of the contract performed by third parties.
2.3 Time of performance
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, we shall provide the service immediately after registering or logging in by activating your account.

You are only entitled to assert a right of retention for counterclaims that are due and based on the same legal relationship as your obligation.
3 Your responsibility
3.1 General
You are solely responsible for the content of your contributions / entries or your profile. The content may not violate any applicable laws or these General Terms of Use. You also undertake not to transmit any data whose content violates the rights of third parties (e.g. personal rights, rights to a name, trademark rights, copyrights, etc.). In particular, contributions, entries or profiles with illegal content may not be published or untrue facts asserted.
3.2 Indemnification
You indemnify us against all claims asserted against us by third parties due to such violations. This also includes the reimbursement of costs of necessary legal representation.
3.3 Data backup
You are jointly responsible for backing up the information sent. We cannot be held responsible for the loss of your transmitted information, as we do not provide a general data backup guarantee.
3.4 Mandatory information for profiles
You are responsible for ensuring that you comply with and adequately provide any mandatory information that may be required for your profiles (in particular the Legal Notice obligation and Privacy Policy), insofar as this is relevant for you. We merely provide the platform for your presentation and contacting other users.
3.5 Abusive contributions or entries or content
We may editorially review submitted contributions or entries or contents for their admissibility. We will deactivate or delete abusive content, contributions or entries without prior notice. Such content / contributions / entries are given, for example, in the following cases:
We reserve the right to block or delete your account in case of recurring violations. The extraordinary termination remains unaffected.
4. Use of content
By placing content in the database, you grant us the right to use this content for an unlimited period of time to place and make it available in the database and for retrieval and storage by third parties, in particular to store, reproduce, make available, transmit, link and publish the content. This may also be done by or in the form of advertising material (in particular, linking on social networks, use for commercials, use for our own website or in printed form, etc.) by third parties or by us. In this case, the author explicitly waives his right to be named. Furthermore, we receive the right to rework the content, especially if it does not meet the above requirements of these conditions.
5 Usability of the services
5.1 Further development of the service / availability
We make every effort to adapt our services to current technical developments. We therefore reserve the right to make changes to the agreed services, insofar as such changes do not affect the core services and are reasonable for the contractual partner, taking into account the interests of the contractual partner. We are also entitled to interrupt the platform operation wholly or partially within reasonable limits to update and maintenance. In this respect, we do not guarantee the availability of the offered services at any time and do not warrant that the provided services or parts thereof will be made available and can be used from any location.
5.2 Technical requirements
The use of the platform requires appropriate compatible devices. It is your responsibility to put or keep the device in a condition that allows the use of the platform services (e.g. functional internet access).
6 Liability
6.1 Exclusion of liability
We as well as our legal representatives and vicarious agents are only liable for intent or gross negligence. Insofar as essential contractual obligations (i.e. obligations whose compliance is of particular importance for the achievement of the purpose of the contract) are affected, we shall also be liable for slight negligence. In this case, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. To entrepreneurs, we shall be liable in the event of a grossly negligent breach of non-essential contractual obligations only to the extent of the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.
6.2 Reservation of Liability
The above exclusion of liability does not apply to liability for damages arising from life, limb or health injury. The provisions of the Product Liability Act shall also remain unaffected by this exclusion of liability.
6.3 Data backup
We carry out adequate data backups as part of the service provision, but do not provide a general data backup guarantee for the data you transmit. You are also responsible for regularly creating appropriate data backups to prevent data loss. We will exercise reasonable care in providing the agreed service and will provide the data backup with the necessary expertise. However, we do not warrant that the stored content or data you access will not be accidentally damaged, corrupted, lost or partially removed.
6.4 Liability for content
As the platform operator, we are not liable for incorrect information users provide in their posts, entries or profiles. A review of the content posted on our platform (especially regarding the violation of third party rights) does not occur. However, should we become aware of incorrect, inaccurate, misleading or unlawful information, we will immediately review and, if necessary, remove it. We also do not guarantee the accuracy, actuality, completeness, quality or legality of content that does not originate from us. We merely make our platform available to you.
7. Final provisions
7.1 Place of jurisdiction
Our registered office is agreed as the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all legal disputes arising from this contract, provided that you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.
7.2 Choice of Law
Unless mandatory statutory provisions under your home law conflict with this, German law shall be deemed agreed to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
7.3 Consumer Dispute Resolution
The EU Commission has created an Internet platform for the online resolution of disputes concerning contractual obligations arising from online contracts (OS platform). You can access the ODR platform at the following link: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are unwilling and not obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
7.4 Severability clause
The invalidity of individual provisions shall not affect the validity of the remaining General Terms of Use.
1. General
1.1 What is personal data
Personal data is information that discloses or can disclose the user’s identity. We adhere to the principle of data avoidance. Therefore, as far as possible, we refrain from collecting personal data.
1.2 Handling of personal data
Personal data is used exclusively to establish the contract, define its content, and implement or process the contractual relationship (Art. 6 (1 b) GDPR).
Beyond that, personal data will only be processed if we have received your consent to do so (Art. 6 (1 a) GDPR) or if it is data whose processing is necessary for our legitimate interests and insofar as the balancing process shows that no overriding interests, fundamental rights or freedoms on your part are opposed (Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR).
We may use order processors to process your personal data, but will not pass on the personal data to third parties beyond this as a matter of principle.
Unless otherwise stated below, processing your personal data takes place primarily within the EU.
If the processing takes place in the USA, attention is already drawn to the fact that the European Court of Justice assesses the USA as a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that U.S. authorities may process your data for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal remedy.
The data processing and/or data transfer can therefore also take place outside the European Union, Andorra, Argentina, Canada (only for commercial organizations), Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay, Japan and the United Kingdom, provided this results from the following clauses. However, only for these aforementioned countries, except the countries of the European Union which are classified as safe anyway, there is an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR) of the European Commission regarding the data transfer. Therefore, data transfer to other countries is at least not explicitly permitted. If a data transfer is nevertheless to take place, the processor must ensure by other means that the personal data are adequately protected at the recipient. This can be done through the use of standard data protection clauses (Art. 46 GDPR), in the case of data transfers within a corporate group through so-called Binding Corporate Rules, through an obligation to comply with codes of conduct that have generally been declared applicable by the Commission, or through certification of the processing operation. The standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission can be found here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914
1.3 Usage data
When visiting the website, general technical information is collected. This is the IP address used, time, duration of the visit, browser type and, if applicable, the page of origin. This usage data is registered in a log file for technical reasons and can be used and stored for statistical evaluation of this website. This usage data is not linked to your other personal data.
1.4 Registration data
Registration is required for the extensive use of the functions of our website. The registration data is collected through your corresponding entries and used for the specifically stated purpose under your consent (Art. 6 (1 a) GDPR).
1.5 Duration of storage
We store your personal data after the termination of the purpose for which the data was collected, only as long as this is required by law (especially tax law).
2. Your rights
2.1 Information
You can request information from us as to whether we are processing personal data about you and, if so, you have a right to information about this personal data and the further information specified in Article 15 GDPR.
2.2 Right to rectification
You have the right to have inaccurate personal data concerning you corrected and, by Art. 16 GDPR, you may request that incomplete personal data be completed.
2.3 Right to erasure
You have the right to demand that we delete the personal data concerning you without undue delay. We are obliged to delete them immediately, in particular if one of the following reasons applies:
The right to erasure does not exist insofar as your personal data is required to assert, exercise, or defend our legal claims.
2.4 Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data if
2.5 Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and you have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that the processing is based on consent or a contract and the processing is carried out by us with the aid of automated processes.
2.6 Right of withdrawal
As the processing of your personal data is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
2.7 General and right of appeal
The exercise of your above rights is generally free of charge for you. In the event of complaints, you have the right to contact the supervisory authority responsible for us directly, the State Data Protection Officer.
3. Data security
3.1 Data security
Technical and organizational measures secure all data on our website against loss, destruction, access, modification and distribution.
3.2 Sessions and cookies

6. Third-party services
6.1 Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”) and collects and stores data via this web analytics service, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. The usage profiles created in this way are used to evaluate visitor behavior to design and improve the offer presented on this website in line with requirements. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, small text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. The usage profiles kept under a pseudonym will also not be combined with personal data about the user without the user’s express and separately declared consent. Google Analytics is only used with your consent (Art. 6 (1 a) GDPR). You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
In addition, you can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, preventing your data collection during future visits to this website. Please click on the green box on the top to change the cookie settings. You can view Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. For more information on the terms of use, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/. Finally, we want to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “anonymizeIp” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
6.2 Social media links and social sharing
We have our own social media pages with third-party providers that can be reached via links from this website. By using the links, you can access the respective websites of the third-party providers (e.g. Youtube, LinkedIn) and also share our content. Here, no data transfer takes place by calling up our website. To avoid unnecessary data transfer, we recommend logging out of the respective third-party provider before using a corresponding link, so the third-party provider cannot create that usage profile simply by using the link.
6.3 Use of Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps, a map service from Google, operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). When using Google Maps, data on the use of the Maps functions by website visitors is also collected, processed and used. Google Maps is only used with your consent (Art. 6 (1 a) GDPR).

These can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

We use web fonts from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”) to display a uniform font on our website. These are automatically stored in your browser cache when you call up one of our pages to enable the desired display. If your browser does not support the web fonts used, a standard font of your computer may be used. No user interests are affected in this case, which outweighs this technical necessity (Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR). You can view Google’s privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq.
6.6 Cloudflare
We use the Cloudflare service (operated by Cloudflare Inc., 101 Townsend St, 94107 San Francisco, USA) to reload our content and ensure our website’s full functionality. In this context, your browser may transmit personal data (e.g. your IP address) to Cloudflare to provide the service. The data processing may also take place in the USA.
We have concluded an order processing contract with Cloudflare. This is a contract in which Cloudflare undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection provisions and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties.
In addition, Cloudflare itself can also use a CDN. A CDN is a network of powerful servers that cache content at various locations around the world. Thereby, a CDN has two tasks, on the one hand, it should provide content in the shortest possible time; on the other, it should relieve the web host by distributing the data traffic.
The service is used within the scope of your consent (Art. 6 (1 a) GDPR) or, if this is not available, based on our legitimate interest in enabling easy and appealing use of our online offer (Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR).
For more information on handling transmitted data, please see Cloudflare’s privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

22305 Hamburg, Germany). This tool lets us inform you about the cookies used on our website and obtain your consent for certain cookies. The information provided as part of the tool (consent, rejection or preference including date and time) and technical browser data is also sent to Borlabs Cookie to enable this function. Cookies are stored for 6 months or shorter if we cancel the service in advance. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1 c) GDPR (fulfillment of legal obligation) or Art. 6 (1 a) GDPR (consent) or Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

6.8 Font Awesome
Our website uses so-called web fonts or icons for the uniform display of fonts or icons provided by Fonticons, Inc., 307 S. Main St., Suite 202, Bentonville, AR 72712, USA.

For this purpose, the browser you use must establish a connection to the servers of Fonticons, Inc. This enables Fonticons, Inc. to know that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The processing of the IP address by Fonticons, Inc. also takes place in the USA. The service is used with your consent (Art. 6 (1 a) GDPR) or, if this is not available, based on our legitimate interest in enabling easy and appealing use of our online offer (Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR).

6.10 CDN
Our website makes use of a so-called Content Delivery Network (CDN). A CDN is a network of powerful servers that cache content at various locations around the world. A CDN essentially has two tasks: on the one hand, it should provide content in the shortest possible time, and on the other hand, it should relieve the web host by distributing the data traffic. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR.
6.11 WP Statistics
We use the WP Statistics tool (developed by Veronalabs, 5460 W Main St, Verona, New York 13478, USA) to evaluate the use of our website and thereby make it even more interesting for the user.
