3. Registration, Password

3.1 Some pages of the Arjo Web Site may be password protected. In the interest of safety and security of the business transactions, only registered Users may access said pages. Arjo reserves the right to deny registration to any User. Arjo particularly reserves the right to determine certain sites, which were previously freely accessible, subject to registration. Arjo is entitled, at any time and without obligation to give reasons, to deny the User the right to access the password-protected area by blocking its User Data (as defined below).

3.2 For registration the User shall give accurate information and, where such information changes over time, shall inform Arjo thereof (to the extent possible: online) without undue delay. The User shall ensure, that its e-mail address, as supplied to Arjo, will be current and an address at which the User can be contacted.

3.3 Upon registration the User will be provided with an access code, comprising a User ID and a password ("User Data"). On first access the User shall change the password received from Arjo into a password known only to the User. The User Data allows the User to view or change its data or, as the case may be, to withdraw its consent to data processing.

3.4 The User shall ensure that the User Data will not be accessible by third parties and is liable for all transactions and other activities carried out under its User Data. At the end of each online session, the User shall log off from the password-protected websites. If and to the extent the User becomes aware that third parties are misusing its User Data the User shall inform Arjo thereof without undue delay in writing, or, as the case may be, by e-mail.

3.5 After receipt of the notice under paragraph 3.4, Arjo shall deny access to the password-protected area under such User Data. Access will only be possible again upon the User's application to Arjo or upon new registration.

3.6 The User may at any time demand the deletion of its registration in writing, provided that the deletion will not violate the proper performance of contractual relationships. In such event Arjo will delete all user data and other stored personally identifiable data of the User as soon as these data are not needed anymore.
