§ 2 Contents of the MTS website

MTS provides information in text and image form on the MTS websites for information purposes.

§ 3 Registration, password

Individual areas of the MTS website may be password-protected in the interests of business security and therefore only accessible to registered users. There is no entitlement to registration.

You shall ensure that your user data is not disclosed to third parties and shall be liable for orders placed under your user data and other chargeable or abusive activities. If you become aware or have a concrete suspicion that third parties are misusing your user data, you must inform MTS immediately.

You can request the deletion of your user data in writing at any time, provided that the deletion does not conflict with the processing of ongoing contractual relationships. In this case, MTS will delete your user data, in particular your stored personal data, provided that there are no legal provisions to the contrary.

All amendments, supplements and ancillary agreements between MTS and the user must be made in writing to be effective. This also applies to any agreement to deviate from this written form requirement.
