§1 Objective and validity
This user agreement is the binding basis for connecting a computer to the campus network of Ilmenau University of Technology (FeM-Net). Part of this agreement are the implementation regulations in the current version.
All terms of use of the institutions and organizations hierarchically superior to FeM-Net (e.g. computer center of the Technical University of Ilmenau, German Research Network) also apply without restriction to the users of FeM-Net.
The connection of the halls of residence to the FeM-Net is a privilege and by no means a right. This requires all participants to use the resources and facilities provided by FeM e. V. responsibly. With his/her signature, the user confirms that he/she will pursue the objectives of the association and strictly adhere to the regulations listed below
§2 Authorized users
The use of FeM-Net is only permitted to students and employees with a valid user authorization from the Computer Center of the Ilmenau University of Technology.
An application to use the FeM-Net may only be rejected with good reason. However, no entitlement to use can be derived from this.
A granted authorization of use is person- and location-bound and cannot be transferred.
§3 Withdrawal of the right of use
FeM e. V. reserves the right to exclude users from network operation temporarily or permanently in justified cases.
Exclusion is possible in the following cases, among others:

- Withdrawal of the right to use the computer center of the Ilmenau University of Technology.
§4 Functional guarantees
FeM e. V. does everything in its power to maintain the functionality of the FeM-Net. However, no functional guarantee can be derived from this. Possible interruptions or restrictions in network operation cannot be ruled out.
Members who intentionally or unintentionally disrupt the functionality of the network or endanger other members may be disconnected from the network without warning. They will not be reactivated until the cause has been clarified. The member who caused the incident must prevent it from happening again.
§5 Liability
The connection of a computer to the FeM-Net is always at the user's own risk. FeM e. V. is only liable for damages (e.g. hardware damage or data loss) that are directly or indirectly related to the connection to the FeM-Net in the event of intent or gross negligence on the part of its representatives.
In the event of damage to or destruction of facilities or parts of facilities under the management of FeM e. V., the person responsible shall be liable in full.
