Status: 14.08.2018 

Preamble 

A wide variety of content, such as language works, audio books, audio plays, digital media such as videos and software, etc., can be digitally borrowed from Onleihe. The technical and administrative services as well as the 
granting of rights of use for this service are provided by divibib GmbH, Bismarckstraße 3, 72764 Reutlingen (hereinafter referred to as "divibib"), with whom you as the user of "Onleihe" enter into the following agreement. Furthermore, divibib provides you with software applications such as "integrated readers" in accordance with the provisions of these General Terms of Use. The special regulations for integrated readers according to § 8 also 
apply in favour of divibib's suppliers; if you do not consent to these regulations, you will not be granted any rights to integrated readers and you are obligated to uninstall integrated readers and to destroy all copies held by you. 
If access to e-learning offers is also opened via the "Onleihe" of your library, the special provisions listed under B. for access to e-learning offers from third-party providers shall also apply. If you also have access to the children's media app "TigerBooks" of Tiger Me-dia Deutschland GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "TMD") via the "Onleihe" of your library and the content retrievable via this app, the special provisions listed under C. shall also apply. 
The billing of services provided by divibib to registered library users (hereinafter referred to as "library users") is carried out exclusively by and in relation to your library, which enables you to use "Onleihe". The prerequisite for 
the use of "Onleihe" is therefore also a re-registration at your library and the activation for "Onleihe" by your library. 

A. General terms and conditions 

§ 1 Scope of application 

(1) Library users can borrow copyrighted language works, audio books, audio plays, digital media such as videos and software, etc. via Onleihe. (hereinafter referred to as "Contents") and borrow them digitally. 

(2) These terms of use apply to all digital content provided by divibib. They apply to the first and each future digital loan of contents, even if you as a library user do not explicitly confirm the validity of these terms of use in the 
future during further visits / retrievals of contents. The conditions are always available via the "Onleihe" and can be printed out at any time. 

§ 2 Registration / Library username and password 

The prerequisite for the digital lending of content in "Onleihe" is your registration as a library user with your library.  With the library user ID and password issued by your library, you can digitally borrow the content provided for this 
purpose. 

§ 3 Digital lending / Rights and limits 

(1) The digital content provided to you as a library user is copyrighted or otherwise protected. As a library user, you hereby expressly acknowledge the rights protected by copyright law and/or other rights (e.g. trademark rights) and undertake not to infringe them. 

(2) Digital lending is carried out by downloading and/or streaming content via the Internet and/or other digital networks. You, the library user, will be informed of the permitted scope of use for the content in question within the framework of a digital lending process in connection with the lending process; the scope of use described there specifies the respective granting of rights. After the expiry of the loan period, the use of the content, in particular reproduction, is no longer permitted. Streamed content that is characterised by the continuous receipt of content components for immediate use or for reproduction of the respective content components may not be 
audio-recorded and/or recorded in any other way by the library user. If you return digitally borrowed content before the end of the lending period, you are obliged to ensure that the previously borrowed digital content in question is deleted on all your end devices when it is returned. 

(3) divibib grants you as a library user a simple, limited and non-transferable right within the framework of a digital loan process to use the digitally borrowed content to the extent notified and permitted within the scope of the digital loan process exclusively for personal use. You may not remove copyright notices, trademarks, watermarks or other legal reservations from the digitally borrowed content. In addition, you may not in any way change the contents with respect to content or through editing of the digitally borrowed content or use modified versions, copy it for third parties, make it publicly accessible or forward it, post it on the internet and/or in other networks against payment or free of charge, imitate it, resell it and/or use it for commercial purposes. Further transfer and/or sublicensing of the rights to third parties is expressly excluded. The granting of rights takes place with the conclusion of the download and/or refers exclusively to the enabling of the continuous reception of content components for their immediate use or for the reproduction of the respective content components (streaming), without a right to the audio recording and/or other recording of the streamed content being granted. The granting of the right of use also ends with the return of digitally borrowed content before the expiry of the lending period. You are not entitled to use the content after the expiry of the lending period unless you borrow it digitally again. 

(4) In order to prevent unauthorised copies of digitally borrowed content, divibib uses technical protective measures (§ 95a UrhG) and/or information required for the administration of rights (§ 95c UrhG), such as DRM systems and digital watermarks. As a library user, you are prohibited from circumventing the technical protective measures used and from removing or altering the information required to exercise your rights (this may constitute a criminal offence pursuant to § 108b UrhG). 

(5) In particular, you as a library user are strictly prohibited from using robots, spiders, crawlers and/or other automated programmes to continuously and/or temporarily search, index and/or digitally lend, retrieve, download or 
stream content (misuse). Digital lending and return of content must be initiated individually by you as a natural person and library user in each individual case. An abuse of use in the sense of sentence 1 is deemed equivalent 
if a digital loan of the contents is carried out with damaging intent; this is particularly the case if the digital loan is not carried out for the purpose of exclusively personal use within the scope of the digital loan process notified and 
permitted in each case, or if the digital loan is carried out for the purpose of causing (in particular financial) damage to divibib and/or your library. 

§ 4 Technical requirements 

In order to be able to use "Onleihe", library users must have suitable hardware and online technology at their disposal and access electronic services and media, especially the internet, at their own expense and risk. They must adapt this hardware and online technology to changing technical standards of the internet and of "Onleihe " at their own expense. 

§ 5 Right of cancellation 

A right of cancellation does not exist, as a right of cancellation is neither prescribed by law nor contractually granted by divibib for the contents digitally lent free of charge by divibib. 

§ 6 Warranty limitation 

(1) As a library user, you are responsible for the selection of digitally borrowed content. The use of "Onleihe", in particular the downloading, streaming and/or other receipt of content in connection with the offer, is at your own 
risk; in particular divibib does not guarantee freedom from viruses, freedom from other malware or the technical functionality of the digitally borrowed content. 

(2) The offer will be presented in the design approved by divibib in each case and subject to availability. All information, illustrations, technical data, measurements and performance descriptions found on the website are for 
information purposes only. divibib makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information, but accepts no liability for it. divibib also does not guarantee that the offer meets the requirements of library users and is available 
at all times without interruption, in a timely manner, safely and without error. divibib does not warrant that the hardware and/or software used for the offer, including any download software offered in "Onleihe", will be errorfree at all times and/or that any errors on the website or in the hardware or software will be corrected. 

§ 7 Liability 

(1) divibib is liable in case of intent or gross negligence as well as in case of absence of a guaranteed feature for all damages resulting from it without restriction. 

(2) In case of minor negligence divibib is liable without restriction in case of injury to life, body or health. If divibib is in delay with its performance due to minor negligence, if divibib is unable to render its services or if divibib has 
violated an essential contractual obligation, divibib's liability for damages to property and pecuniary loss resulting therefrom shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Essential contractual obligation in this sense is an obligation, the fulfilment of which enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place, the violation of which endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract and the observance of 
which you can rely on regularly. 

(3) Liability on the part of divibib is excluded for all other damages. 

(4) Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

General Terms and Conditions of Use - and indemnify divibib against claims of third parties arising from this.

§ 8 Special regulations for integrated readers 

(1) To the extent that divibib provides integrated readers with "Onleihe", the following additional special regulations apply in favour of divibib and its suppliers with regard to these integrated readers. If you do not consent to

digitally borrowed content. Under no circumstances will integrated readers be sold to you, so that you cannot acquire ownership rights to integrated readers either. 

(5) The warranty and liability limitations of § 7 apply accordingly to integrated readers. To the extent permitted by law, further liability for indirect, special, incidental, punitive and consequential damages as well as statutory warranty claims is excluded. To the extent permitted by law, liability is also limited to the price of the integrated reader or the right to demand return of the integrated reader and reimbursement of the price from divibib. 

(6) Integrated readers use the Adobe DRM system. The Adobe DRM system requires that you work with Adobe Systems Inc. (Adobe) to enter into an agreement for the provision of an Adobe ID. If you use the Adobe DRM 
system and your Adobe ID as part of an integrated reader, personal data is collected, processed, and transferred to third parties independently of divibib. The operation of the Adobe DRM system and Adobe ID under integrated 
readers requires such use of your personal information. If you do not wish this, do not use integrated readers, as their functionality requires the relevant use of your personal data. For details, please refer to Adobe's privacy 
policy (www.adobe.com/privacy.html).
