Each user reported by the licensee shall be fully evaluated as a user within the scope of the acquired licence for the calendar year in question and cannot be exchanged for other users during the year.
(6) The Users shall be deactivated after expiry of the contract period.
§ 2 Ownership of rights, granting of rights, reproduction
(1) The WBThek is property of GOING PUBLIC! It is protected by copyright.

(3) After termination of the contractual relationship, any further use of the WBThek by the Users is prohibited.
§ 3 Passing on
(1) The licensee may use the WBThek himself and transfer the rights of use free of charge to the users registered by him.

The licensee shall bear all damages resulting from a culpable violation of the above provisions regarding the personal access data.
§ 4 Accounting and adjustment of user charges
