2.1 These Terms of Use govern access to and use of all Access Points provided by the Operator. The purpose of these Terms of Use is to establish the rules and conditions under which the Operator allows Visitors to interact with the Access Points, ensuring safe and lawful use in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and contractual obligations to the Operator.

2.3 These Terms of Use apply to every Visitor interacting with or using the Access Points, regardless of whether they are merely viewing the Website or any other online offerings of the Operator related to the Website. This includes interactions with software applications provided by the Operator through the Website, mobile applications published on digital distribution platforms (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play), as designated by the Operator, as well as telephone support or any other Access point established by the Operator in connection with the Website. This applies even if the Visitor is not utilizing any of the Operator’s services or receiving any performance from the Operator, but is merely viewing or displaying the Access Point.

2.4 If the Access Point is optimized for processing cookies and/or if it involves the processing of the Visitor’s personal data, such processing shall be governed by the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy published on the Website pantheon.tech, as well as with the applicable laws and regulations regarding the protection of personal data.

2.5 Access to the Website is freely available, and Visitors have the right to view its content using appropriate technical devices (such as smartphones or computers), provided that these devices meet the minimum technical requirements for browsing and viewing the content of the Website. The Operator shall not be liable for any technical difficulties or inability to access the Website that arise from the use of devices that do not meet the minimum technical requirements. Visitors must use the Website in accordance with all applicable local laws and regulations.

In such cases, Visitors are required to respect the intellectual property rights of these subjects and use the Access Points in accordance with the licensing conditions. The Visitor must not violate or jeopardize the intellectual property rights related to the Access Points. If access to certain Access Points is conditioned upon the granting of a license, the Visitor may use such Access Points only if they are authorized to do so.

2.7 The Access Points are intended for Visitors regardless of whether they are or may be accessible to other individuals or machines, and are solely for their personal use.

2.8 By using the Access Point, the Visitor confirms that they have read, understood, and agree to comply with these Terms of Use. If the Visitor does not agree to the Terms of Use, they must immediately stop using the Access Point and refrain from any further access or interaction.

2.9 The Operator reserves the right to refuse or restrict access to any Visitor who violates these Terms of Use or when necessary for the Operator’s internal security reasons. This right may be modified or limited by an individual contractual relationship with the Operator’s business partner (such as a licensing agreement), based on which the Visitor is granted access to the Access Point.

3. VISITOR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS 

3.1 The Visitor is obligated, when using the Access Point, to act in a manner that does not infringe on the rights of the Operator and/or other Visitors and/or Users and/or third parties.

3.2 If the Access Point enables the Visitor to register for the purpose of utilizing its functions, the Visitor is always obligated to:

3.3 If the Access Point (such as a user account, Website, software application, or mobile application) allows the Visitor to add, create, or publish any content, the Visitor is always obligated to comply with the following obligations:

a) not to add, link to, or create content that violates the intellectual property rights of any third party, especially copyrights related to photographs, audio and audiovisual recordings, literary works, registered designs, or trademarks;

3.5 The Visitor is always obligated to promptly notify the Operator of any suspicion regarding unlawful content within the Access Point and/or its parts that may impact the Visitor or any other individual or legal entity.

If the Visitor is a legal representative of such an individual or entity, the Operator will always require submission of authorization that allows the Visitor to legally represent that person.

3.6 The Visitor is prohibited from:

3.7 Without the Operator’s consent, the Visitor may not download any content or any part thereof from the Access Point to any technical device beyond the content that the Operator has designated for download. The Visitor is also prohibited from making any image, audio, or audiovisual recordings of the content. If the Visitor violates these obligations, they are responsible for any damage that may occur to the Operator and/or other Visitors and/or third parties.

3.8 The Visitor has the right to download only that part of the content from the Access Point which the Operator designates for this purpose, and the Visitor must follow the Operator’s instructions in doing so.

4. OPERATOR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS 

4.1 The Operator has the right to remove, modify, supplement, or adjust any content and/or part of the content published in the Access Point at any time, regardless of whether it was added directly by the Operator. This does not affect the fulfilment of individually agreed rights and obligations of the Operator and any third party whose content is added to the Access Point under a specific contract concluded with the Operator.

This does not apply if otherwise agreed upon in an individual contractual relationship with the Operator, under which the Visitor uses the particular Access Point.

4.4 The Operator may link to third-party websites and electronic files in the Access Points, but is not legally responsible for their content. If data processing by a third party is necessary during the Visitor’s interaction with such a link, the Operator may inform the Visitor through its own Privacy Policy, available on the Website pantheon.tech, which may also reference the privacy policies of third parties governing such processing.

4.5 The Operator will refuse to delete or restrict access to any information or content in the Access Point based on a request or suggestion from the Visitor if, in the Operator’s legal opinion, the disputed content does not have unlawful character, and its retention is necessary for the exercise of freedom of expression and information dissemination in a democratic society. This does not apply if the unlawfulness of the content is confirmed by a valid substantive decision of the relevant administrative authority or court, or if the Visitor obtains a preliminary injunction, or if the Operator, based on consideration of the individual factual and legal circumstances of the case, decides otherwise.

4.6 Nothing in these Terms of Use prevents the Operator from restricting access to and/or functionality of the Access Point at any time for any length of time. This does not affect the contractual rights and claims of the Operator’s business partners for using of particular Access Point under a specific contract concluded with the Operator.

4.7 In the event of a notification about unlawful content or other awareness of facts objectively causing unlawfulness of the content in the Access Point, the Operator is obliged to act promptly and remove or disable access to information related to the identified unlawful condition if, in the Operator’s opinion, unlawful conduct is occurring or may occur in connection with the information included in the content of the Access Point.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

This does not affect the contractual rights and claims of the Operator’s business partners for using of particular Access Point under a specific contract concluded with the Operator.
