Cytori may stop the operation of the Cytori Web Site in full or in part at any time. Due to the nature of the internet and computer systems, Cytori cannot accept any liability for the continuous availability of the Cytori Web Site.

3. Registration, Password

Some pages of the Cytori Web Site may be password protected. In the interest of safety and security of business transactions, only registered Users may access said pages. Cytori reserves the right to deny registration to any User. Cytori particularly reserves the right to determine certain sites, which were previously freely accessible, subject to registration. Cytori is entitled, at any time and without obligation to give reasons, to deny the User the right to access the password-protected area by blocking its User Data (as defined below), in particular if the User
– uses false data for the purpose of registration;
– violates these Terms of Use or neglects its duty of care with regard to User Data;
– violates any applicable laws in the access to or use of the Cytori Web Site; or
– did not use the Cytori Web Site for a longer period.

For registration the User shall give accurate information and, where such information changes over time, update such information (to the extent possible: online) without undue delay. The User shall ensure that his/her e-mail address, as supplied to Cytori, is current at all times as well as an address at which the User can be contacted.
Upon registration the User will be provided with an access code, comprising of a User ID and a password (“User Data”). On first access the User shall promptly change the password received from Cytori into a password known only to the User. The User Data allows the User to view or change his/her data or, as applicable, to withdraw his/her consent to data processing.

The User shall ensure that User Data is not accessible by third parties and is liable for all transactions and other activities carried out under his/her User Data. At the end of each online session, the User shall log-off from the password protected websites. If and to the extent the User becomes aware that third parties are misusing his/her User Data the User shall notify Cytori thereof without undue delay in writing, or, as the case may be, by e-mail.
After receipt of the notice, Cytori will deny access to the password-protected area under such User Data. Access by the User will only be possible again upon the User’s application to Cytori or upon new registration.
The User may at any time request termination of his/her registration in writing, provided that the deletion will not violate the proper performance of contractual relationships. In such event Cytori will remove all user data and other stored personally identifiable data of the User as soon as these data are no longer needed.
