Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Drone4Build project website. By using our website, you accept these terms in full. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the website. These terms are intended to ensure a positive, lawful, and safe experience for all users.

1. Acceptance of Terms

The use of drone4build.eu (the “Website”) is subject to the following terms and all applicable laws. Users of the Website automatically agree to be bound by these Terms of Use from the moment they access the site. If you do not agree, you should exit the site and refrain from any further use.

We may update or revise these Terms of Use at any time, for example to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. Updated terms will be posted here with a new effective date. It is the user’s responsibility to review the Terms periodically. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Permitted Use of the Website

You may use this Website solely for informational and non-commercial purposes related to the Drone4Build project. You agree to use the site only in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of or restrict or inhibit the use of the site by any third party.

Specifically, you agree NOT to:

  • Violate any laws or regulations through use of the site, or use the site for any unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, or malicious purpose.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Website, servers, or networks connected to the Website (e.g., by hacking, password “mining,” or any other illegitimate means).
  • Disrupt or interfere with the Website’s normal operation or the servers/network supporting it. This includes not introducing any viruses, worms, malware, or any other code that is destructive or may impose an unreasonable load on the infrastructure.
  • Use any automated system (such as robots or spiders) to access the site in a manner that sends more requests to our servers than a human could reasonably produce in the same time, without prior permission.
  • Use the information on this site for commercial purposes without our prior written consent. The content is provided for education and dissemination of project results, and should not be exploited for profit.
  • Remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices from materials on the site.

As a user, you are granted a limited, revocable license to access and make personal use of this Website. This does not include any right to download (other than page caching) or modify the site, or any portion of it, except with express written consent. You may not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or otherwise exploit any portion of the site for any commercial purpose without explicit permission.

3. Content Ownership and Intellectual Property

All content presented on the Drone4Build website, including text, graphics, logos, images, documents, downloadable files, and the site design, is the property of the Drone4Build consortium or its content providers and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Drone4Build and Partner Materials: Project deliverables, reports, and articles published here are owned by the project consortium (or the specific partner that authored them). They are often made available under certain licenses (for example, some educational resources might be shared under a Creative Commons license; if so, it will be clearly indicated). In absence of a specific license notice, assume all rights are reserved.

Permitted Use of Content: You may view, download, or print materials from this site for your own informational, educational, or non-commercial use, as long as you do not remove any attribution or copyright notices. If you share content from our site, please credit “Drone4Build Erasmus+ Project” as the source. Any other use (such as reproducing content on another website, or in a publication) requires prior consent.

No Transfer of Rights: Accessing this Website does not grant you any ownership or rights to our content. Except for the limited use rights explicitly granted above, no license or right to use any content (whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise) is granted. You also may not use our project name “Drone4Build” or logos without authorization, except for factual references (e.g., citing the project in an article). All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the content owners.

Third-Party Content: Some content on our site might belong to third parties (e.g., logos of Erasmus+ or partner institutions, images from stock libraries with permission). Such materials remain the property of their respective owners. Use of third-party content may be subject to those third parties’ terms. For example, the EU emblem and Erasmus+ logo usage must conform to EU guidelines, and does not indicate endorsement.

If you believe that any content on this site infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us with details, and we will investigate and address the concern (e.g., by removing or updating content as needed).

4. Disclaimer of Warranties

Use at Your Own Risk: The information on this Website is published in good faith and for general informational purposes. However, the site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, the Drone4Build consortium (and each of its partners) disclaims all warranties, express or implied, regarding the site. This includes but is not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, reliability, suitability for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, or that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Key points of this disclaimer:

  • We do not warrant or guarantee that the content is accurate, complete, or up-to-date. The project is ongoing and information may change. Users should verify critical information through official channels before making decisions based on it. Any reliance you place on material from this site is strictly at your own risk.
  • We do not guarantee that the site will be available at any particular time or location, or that it will be secure or free from errors, viruses, or other harmful components. While we endeavor to maintain secure and reliable service, technical issues can occur.
  • Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the site is done at your own discretion. You will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from use of the site or downloading of any material.

5. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Abstract-Technology GmbH or any Drone4Build partner organization, nor their officers, employees, or agents, be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) this Website or the information contained on it. This includes, but is not limited to, any loss of profits, business, or data, or other intangible losses, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

For example:

  • We are not liable for any errors or omissions in content, or any results obtained from the use of such information. If you use information from our site and it turns out to be inaccurate or incomplete, we shall not be held responsible for the outcome.
  • We are not responsible for any damage caused by viruses or other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment or other property due to your use of our site or downloading of content from it. (We strongly recommend you use up-to-date antivirus software.)
  • We are not liable for website downtime or technical issues that prevent access, nor for any incompatibility between our site and your browser or devices.

These limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you. However, our liability is limited and excluded to the extent legally possible.

6. External Links and Third-Party Services

Our site may provide links to external websites or integrate third-party services as a convenience to users. This does not signify endorsement of those sites/services, and we have no control over third-party content. Thus:

  • We do not assume responsibility for any content, advertising, products, or materials on or available from such external sites or resources.
  • Any dealings you have with third parties (including service providers or merchants found via our site) are between you and the third party. We won’t be liable for any loss or damage incurred from those dealings or from the presence of those external resources on our site.

If you leave our site via a hyperlink, you should read the terms and policies of the external site you visit. Our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use no longer apply on external sites.

7. User-Generated Content (if applicable)

Currently, our website does not have forums, comment sections, or user accounts for posting content. In the event we introduce a blog with comment functionality or similar interactive features:

  • Users would be responsible for any content they post (e.g., comments) and must ensure it is lawful, respectful, and relevant.
  • By posting, you would grant us the right to use and display your submission as part of the site.
  • We would reserve the right to review, edit, or remove any user-generated content that violates these Terms or any laws, without notice.

(As of now, this section is mostly hypothetical; any interactive features will come with specific guidelines.)

8. Termination of Use

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate or suspend your access to the Website (or certain services on it) at any time, with or without notice, for example if we believe you have violated these Terms of Use or engaged in any conduct that we deem harmful or unlawful. In such event, your permission to use the content ceases immediately and you must destroy any copies of content you have made (if so instructed).

Sections of these Terms concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, and applicable law will survive any termination.

9. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a competent authority, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. A waiver by us of any term or condition or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition for the future or any subsequent breach.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use and any disputes arising from or relating to the Website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with German law, as well as applicable European Union law.

Unless otherwise required by law (for example, certain consumer protection provisions that might mandate a different jurisdiction), any dispute shall fall under the jurisdiction of the courts of Berlin, Germany. We do, however, value our users globally and will attempt to resolve issues amicably whenever possible.

11. Erasmus+ Programme Context

This is an Erasmus+ project website. Users should understand that as an EU-funded project, we adhere to certain transparency and publicity requirements. However, nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted as overriding the fundamental rights and obligations set forth by the Erasmus+ Programme or EU regulations. The official EU disclaimer (provided in our Legal Notice above) applies to the content of this site.

By using this site, you acknowledge the educational and collaborative nature of the project. You also agree not to misrepresent the project or its outcomes (for instance, by claiming affiliation or endorsement beyond what is factual).
