2 Scope of services

VISUHEALTH is a digital health platform for digital remote evaluation of high-resolution images of the retina of the eyes. VISUHEALTH supports the acquisition, collection and mediation of images of different patients for professional evaluation by trained medical personnel (e.g. an ophthalmologist). For this purpose, a platform is provided which makes the contents of the so-called "uploaders" digitally available to the evaluators ("readers"). This offers digital management and helps with the digital evaluation of possible clinical pictures and the effective use of telemedicine. The platform gives users complete control over medical records and health data in order to share them securely and easily with attending physicians or therapists and get personalized health alerts. As key elements, VISUHEALTH uses a digital platform to communicate and gain health-related knowledge after medical evaluation.

VISUHEALTH essentially offers an electronic health record, which can be accessed by any user after successful registration, depending on their authorization. The user can securely store, manage and export medical data at any time.

VISUHEALTH reserves the right to continuously adjust the scope of services of the VISUHEALTH platform based on the factors described above.

VISUHEALTH only supports the digital infrastructure and communication of the user in the context of education, self-help and data medicine. VISUHEALTH expressly does not offer its own medical services, diagnoses or therapies. The use of VISUHEALTH cannot replace a traditional visit to the doctor. In case of doubt, please consult a doctor or, in urgent cases, an emergency ambulance. The safety instructions and exclusion criteria listed in our platform are binding and must be observed in all cases.

3 Contract / Registration

The use of the services offered by VISUHEALTH requires the creation of a user-specific account for which registration is required. The registration presupposes that the user transmits all requested data truthfully and completely to VISUHEALTH. During the registration the user must be legally competent. With the registration a user agreement according to these general terms and conditions comes into being.

In order to identify the user, VISUHEALTH concludes written contracts with the users in order to guarantee a high degree of security against misuse. The user expressly consents to the necessary data collection for identification purposes. VISUHEALTH uses this data exclusively for the purpose of contract processing.

There is no legal claim to the use of the services of VISUHEALTH. VISUHEALTH is entitled to refuse the registration without giving reasons .

4 Duty to provide information

The user can copy, save and print the contract text at any time on the VISUHEALTH platform after successful login. VISUHEALTH itself stores the contract texts and makes them accessible to the user by email upon request.

The language available for the conclusion of the contract is exclusively English.

5 Rights of use

The user is exclusively entitled to the rights to the digital offer granted in these General Terms and Conditions. The contents, information, pictures, videos, databases published via the online application VISUHEALTH are in principle protected by copyright and are generally owned or licensed by Meditec AG.

If VISUHEALTH refers to cooperation partners or sales partners, explicit reference is hereby made to the still valid copyrights and industrial property rights.

The contents of the online application may be used for personal and commercial purposes. The contents may not be passed on to unauthorized third parties without the express consent of VISUHEALTH.

The user is granted an individual license, which may vary depending on the scope of services and the contractual arrangement.

6 Data Protection / User Data

VISUHEALTH collects and uses the data provided by the user for the processing of the contracts concluded between the user and VISUHEALTH. No data will be collected, processed, passed on or used without the consent of the user. The data collected with the user's consent will only be processed or used insofar as this is necessary for the execution of the contractual relationship and for the performance of the service.

The data deposited with VISUHEALTH will be stored by VISUHEALTH for the period of use of the service. In the event of termination by the user or upon request, the data will be deleted within the legally stipulated period.

The user has at any time and within the scope of the availability of the online applications the possibility to retrieve, change or delete the data stored by him in his account.

If VISUHEALTH refers to services of cooperation or sales partners, these may collect and process separate data. VISUHEALTH will only collect, process and pass on this data with the express consent of the user. The user will be informed separately about this data use in the course of the conclusion of the contract. In addition, the data protection provisions of the cooperation or sales partner shall apply here. For the rights of the user to retrieve, change or delete data that is not shared with VISUHEALTH, only the respective contact person of the named cooperation partner or sales partner is responsible.

In all other respects, reference is made to the data protection declaration attached to this contract text and accessible under the "Data protection" button. This always becomes part of the contract.

7 Availability

The range of services is generally available 24 hours a day. This does not apply to times during which data backup work is performed and system maintenance or program maintenance work is performed on the system or database. VISUHEALTH will keep the possible disturbances as low as possibl e.

8 Liability

VISUHEALTH's liability for damages, in particular due to delay, non-performance, defective performance or tort, shall only exist in the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, the performance of which could be relied upon to a particularly high degree. Otherwise, VISUHEALTH shall not be liable, unless mandatory legal regulations exist. The exclusion of liability does not apply to intent or gross negligence.

VISUHEALTH is only liable for foreseeable damages. The liability for indirect damages, especially consequential damages, unforeseeable damages or atypical damages as well as loss of profit is excluded. The same applies to the consequences of industrial disputes, accidental damage and force majeure.

VISUHEALTH expressly assumes no liability for third party services identified as such. In this regard, reference is made to the respective contractual conditions and data protection provisions of the third party provider.

The above limitations of liability apply to all contractual and non-contractual claims.

In all other respects VISUHEALTH's offer does not replace the personal consultation of a physician or medical personnel.

9 Obligations of the user

The user may only use the service offer properly. In particular, he shall keep his user name and password for access secret, shall not pass them on, shall not tolerate or permit any knowledge thereof and shall take the necessary measures to ensure confidentiality and shall notify the Company of any misuse or loss of this information or any corresponding suspicion.

The user is obliged to provide correct, comprehensive and truthful information required for the provision of the services.

10 Blocking Access & Termination

VISUHEALTH reserves the right to investigate any suspected misuse or essential breach of contract, to take appropriate precautions and to block the user's access in case of justified suspicion. If the suspicion can be dispelled, the blocking will be lifted again, otherwise VISUHEALTH is entitled to an extraordinary right of termination.

11 Changes

VISUHEALTH has the right to change the general terms and conditions at any time vis-à-vis the users with effect for the future.

An intended change will be communicated to the users to the last e-mail address provided to VISUHEALTH. The respective change becomes effective if the respective user does not object to it within two weeks after sending the e-mail. The timely dispatch of the objection is decisive for compliance with the two-week period.

If the user objects to the change within the two-week period, VISUHEALTH is entitled to terminate the contractual relationship without notice, without the user having any claims against VISUHEALTH. If the contractual relationship is continued after the effective objection of the user, the previous general terms and conditions remain valid.

12 Final provisions

Should individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions including this provision be or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The ineffective or missing provisions shall be replaced by the respective statutory provisions. German law shall apply to the exclusion of UN sales law. The place of jurisdiction shall be Jena.
