Stormoff reserves the right to deny registration to any User at its sole discretion. Stormoff also reserves the right to subject any part of the Stormoff Website to a registration requirement even if such part had previously been freely accessible. Stormoff shall be entitled to prevent Users from accessing one or more password-protected areas by blocking User Data (as defined below) at any time and without having to provide reasons.

The foregoing in particular applies if a User:

  • does not use the Siemens Healthineers Website for a longer period of time.

3.3 The User will be provided with an access code upon registration which comprises a User ID and a password ("User Data"). On first access the User shall change the password received from Siemens Healthineers into a password known only to the User. The User Data permits the User to view or change its data or to withdraw its consent to data processing, as the case may be.

3.4 The User is liable for all transactions and other activities carried out under its User Data and shall ensure that such User Data is not accessible by third parties. The User shall log-off from all password protected websites at the end of each online session.

3.5 After receipt of a notice under section 3.4, Stormoff will deny the User access to all password-protected areas under the affected User Data. Access will only be permitted again upon corresponding application to Stormoff or a new registration of the User.

3.6 The User may at any time request in writing the deletion of its registration, provided that such deletion does not impair or prevent the proper performance of a contractual relationship. Following such request Stormoff will delete all User Data and any other personally identifiable data of the User in compliance with applicable legislation as soon as such data are not required anymore.
