4. Compliance with copyrights
4.1 The HD+ software and the HD+ card are legally protected. Where channels are used by licensors, their property is pro-
tected to the same extent. In the event of unauthorised duplication or distribution of the HD+ software or the HD+ card
and / or copying of the same, HDP will pursue civil and, if applicable, criminal proceedings.
5. Rights and obligations of the user
5.1 Each user of the HD+ service shall bear responsibility for its proper use him- / herself; in particular, the user must
ensure that broadcasting content not suitable for children is only made available to the group of users legally permitted
to view it.
5.2 The user must not abuse the HD+ service and is obliged to protect his HD+ card against loss or misuse. In particular,
the user cannot make or cause to have made any interventions to the HD+ software, for example to enable the
unauthorised receipt of encrypted programming. The use of devices to circumvent the encryption is also prohibited.
Such abuses may be subject to civil or criminal proceedings. We hereby refer you to Section 6 and Section 7.3.
5.3 If HDP replaces the HD+ card due to damage or loss for which the user is responsible, the user must provide compen-
sation for damages.
5.4 If provision of the HD+ service is impacted or interrupted due to interventions in the software or hardware for which
HDP is not responsible, the user shall not be entitled to the refund of any service fees already paid. This also applies if
the HD+ card has been damaged or lost.
6. Indemnification
6.1 The user is liable towards HDP for adherence to the obligations outlined in Sections 4 and 5. He indemnifies HDP from
all third-party claims that are brought against HDP as the result of the culpable violation of these obligations and / or
harmful actions on the part of the user, and shall pay compensation for any additional damages, including the costs for
necessary legal proceedings and defence.
7. Rights and obligations of HDP
7.1 HDP will notify the user of any service adjustment or limitation, even if only minor. There is no notification obligation if,
under the respective circumstances, notification is not objectively possible prior to the commencement of the adjust-
ment or limitation, or if the correction would delay interruptions that have already occurred.
7.2 HDP reserves the right to carry out maintenance and repair work on its technical equipment in order to maintain or
improve the HD+ service, without further notification. During this maintenance window, reception of the programming
may be interrupted or affected; however, this does not entitle the user to a discount.
7.3 In the event of a breach of these conditions of use, or the justified suspicion of a breach by the user, in particular pur-
suant to Sections 4 and 5 above, at its own discretion HDP shall be entitled:
7.3.1 to temporarily or permanently exclude the user from use of the HD+ services and / or
7.3.2 to extraordinarily terminate the user relationship in accordance with Section 10.1.
7.4 HDP will issue the user with a warning prior to exclusion or termination, provided the breach is not so serious that it
would not be reasonable for HDP to continue the user relationship.
7.5 In the event of exclusion from use in accordance with Section 7.3 for which the user is responsible, the user will still be
obliged to pay the fee for the duration of the exclusion and the interruption to service.
8. Guarantee
8.1 HDP provides services using third-party communication networks or technical installations that are outside of HDP's
control. HDP cannot rule out temporary limitations, impairments or failures of the HD+ service caused by influences for
which HDP is not responsible. In particular, HDP accepts no liability for ensuring that specific programming can be
received at a certain time; this does not apply if HDP is responsible for a fault.
8.2 The user recognises that the quality of the programming that is decrypted or made accessible is dependent on the one
hand on the signal quality provided by third parties and, on the other, on the performance capability of the playback
device used by the user, both of which fall outside of HDP's responsibility. The user also recognises that the recording
and playback of recorded programmes can be limited by third parties.
8.3 HDP hereby points out that software programs are not developed such that they run without errors under all conditions.
