9.7.

Should the account be blocked due to outstanding debts, access shall again be granted if the debts are settled. The right to terminate the AGREEMENT OF USAGE pursuant to Section 13 shall remain unaffected.
10.1. The access data (email address and password) may only be used by the CUSTOMER. The CUSTOMER may not pass the access data on to a third party.

BERLIN PHIL MEDIA shall be liable without limitation for damages due to intent or gross negligence on the part of BERLIN PHIL MEDIA, its legal representatives or persons whom BERLIN PHIL MEDIA uses to perform its obligation. To the extent the breach of the AGREEMENT OF USAGE is unintentional, BERLIN PHIL MEDIA’s liability shall be limited to typically foreseeable damages at the conclusion of the AGREEMENT OF USAGE for ordinary negligent breach of such duties arising from the contractual relationship that make the proper performance of the AGREEMENT OF USAGE possible in the first place, the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely on and the violation of which puts the intended purpose of the AGREEMENT OF USAGE at risk (material contractual duties). Any liability not expressly provided for above – including the liability for persons employed in performing an obligation and vicarious agents – shall be disclaimed.
12.2. The limitation and exclusion of liability agreed upon in Section 12.1 shall not apply in cases of injury of life, body and health, in case of non-conformity of goods if BERLIN PHIL MEDIA has given a guarantee for the quality of the product, or in cases where BERLIN PHIL MEDIA fraudulently concealed the material defect of the product. The liability under the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected.

Fees that already have been paid will not be refunded.

14.1. In the course of the initiative known as DIGITAL CONCERT HALL FOR INSTITUTIONS, the Berliner Philharmoniker provide educational institutions (hereinafter “INSTITUTIONS”) such as universities or libraries with institutional access to the Digital Concert Hall at www.digitalconcerthall.com. The INSTITUTION itself purchases access to the Digital Concert Hall (hereinafter “INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS”). After registration, members of the INSTITUTION (hereinafter “INSTITUTIONAL USERS”) receive personalised access to the Digital Concert Hall and have free access to all content and functions. INSTITUTIONAL USERS are CUSTOMERS within the meaning of these TOU. Unless explicitly stated otherwise hereunder, all Sections of these TOU shall be applicable to INSTITUTIONAL USERS as well.
14.2. INSTITUTIONAL USERS may use the INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS only upon prior registration as an INSTITUTIONAL USER of the Digital Concert Hall. Sections 3.1 to 3.4 of these TOU apply with the following specifications: Registration is possible via the INSTITUTION’s network only. If the INSTITUTIONAL USER already has a user account, it can be changed to an INSTITUTIONAL USER account via the INSTITUTION’s network. Registration as an INSTITUTIONAL USER is only possible during the term of the INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS pursuant to Section 14.3.1.
14.3. By way of derogation from Section 4.2 of these TOU, INSTITUTIONAL USERS have free access to all content and functions of the Digital Concert Hall during the term of the INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS pursuant to Section 14.3.1. The Digital Concert Hall may also be accessed from outside the INSTITUTION’s network as follows:
14.3.1. The possibility to use the streaming services for free begins with completion of registration as an INSTITUTIONAL USER and ends with the end of the term of the INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS as agreed upon between BERLIN PHIL MEDIA and the INSTITUTION. The INSTITUTIONAL USER shall verify his account at least every 4 weeks by logging in via the INSTITUTION’s network. If he fails to do so, his account shall be changed into a normal user account and his possibility to use the streaming services for free ends until he logs in via the INSTITUTION’s network again. With the end of the term of the INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS as agreed upon between BERLIN PHIL MEDIA and the INSTITUTION, the INSTITUTIONAL USER account shall be changed into a normal user account. The right to termination pursuant to Section 13 remains unaffected.
14.3.2. INSTITUTIONAL USERS may not purchase tickets or subscriptions. If the INSTITUTIONAL USER already has a valid ticket or subscription, he can continue using it or register as an INSTITUTIONAL USER. If he chooses the latter, BERLIN PHIL MEDIA shall refund the INSTITUTIONAL USER the value of his ticket in form of a voucher pursuant to Section 4.2.1 which expires after 3 years. The INSTITUTIONAL USER shall be entitled to terminate an existing subscription to the end of the period of use already paid for pursuant to Section 4.2.2. BERLIN PHIL MEDIA shall provide the INSTITUTIONAL USER with a link via email which he can use to effect termination.
14.3.3. INSTITUTIONAL USERS may purchase vouchers at the regular price. However, they may not redeem vouchers while they can use the streaming services for free pursuant to Section 14.3.1.
14.4. Section 4.3 shall also apply to INSTITUTIONAL USERS. In addition, INSTITUTIONAL USERS may screen the streaming services within the INSTITUTION for educational purposes and for the purpose of lectures. For the avoidance of doubt, any further use of the streaming services, in particular, but not limited to the public performance of the streaming services (e.g. public screening on the premises of the INSTITUTION) is prohibited.
14.5. If the INSTITUTIONAL USER substantially breaches the duties of care defined in Sections 4.3 and 14.4, BERLIN PHIL MEDIA may (temporarily) block his access and terminate the AGREEMENT OF USAGE for cause. The INSTITUTION will be informed thereof by email.
14.6. Section 13.2 shall apply with the following modifications: For INSTITUTIONAL USERS, BERLIN PHIL MEDIA may terminate the AGREEMENT OF USAGE at the earliest to the end of the term of the INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS pursuant to Section 14.3.1. Apart from that, Sections 13.1 to 13.4 remain unaffected.

The CUSTOMER will be notified of such amendments in text form (in writing, no signature required, e.g. email, fax) at the latest 6 weeks before they take effect. The amendments are deemed to be approved by the CUSTOMER if he does not object within 6 weeks after notification. If he objects, the amendments do not become part of the agreement between the parties, and the AGREEMENT OF USAGE remains unchanged. BERLIN PHIL MEDIA will expressly point to the possibility of objecting and compliance within the 6 weeks term. The right of cancellation remains unaffected.
