2. Usage relationship

2.1. Elblight is a online service that is provided and tested as a beta version for an indefinite period of time.

3. Services

3.1. After the registration, the customer may create an organization, that includes portfolios and projects. Every customer is free to create more organizations at any time. The creator of an organization automatically becomes its first owner.

Alternatively, a user can join another already existing organization after registration, provided that the owner of this organization has added him to it.

3.2. Elblight is usually available 24 hours a day. However, Elblight cannot guarantee the uninterrupted accessibility and availability of all services. Failures due to possible maintenance work will be announced in advance.

4. Payment

4.1. The use of Elblight is available free of charge without restriction while in beta stage.

5.1. The customer will keep the access password to his account secret and change it immediately if unauthorized third parties could have gained knowledge of it.

9.1. The usage relationship runs for an indefinite period. It can be terminated by the customer at any time by deleting the organization within Elblight or by Elblight at the end of a month with a notice period of one month. The right to terminate the contract without notice in accordance with section 1.2 or for an important reason (sections 5 and 6) remains unaffected.

9.2. The customer can only terminate the relationship via the Elblight administration/organization menu. Elblight can terminate the user relationship by email.

9.3. The data that is managed by the customer in the role of an organization owner is immediately deleted from the effective date of termination.
