Members must protect the key cards they have been given from loss and theft. The Campus Card may not be given or made accessible to third parties without prior agreement with CF Ventures.

In addition to default interest at the statutory rate, this includes the costs of appropriate legal action, in particular reminder and collection expenses, court fees, and legal fees. If the member is in arrears with the payment of an amount equivalent to the sum of two monthly total contributions, CF Ventures is entitled to terminate the contract without notice for good cause.

§ 7 DATA PROTECTION

 

1.     CF Ventures processes the data of Members in accordance with the current provisions of data protection regulations, the Federal Data Protection Act, and any applicable state data protection laws.

2.     Members agree that their personal data necessary for contract fulfillment will be stored on data carriers.

§ 8 TERMINATION OF CONTRACT

 

  1. The possibility to terminate a Membership is determined by the following regulations: In general, the termination of a Membership is only possible after a term of 12 weeks. The notice period is generally one month to the end of the month. For the use of a Private Office, the notice period for Startups is one month, Ecosystem Partners is three months, until the end of the month.
  2. Both parties may terminate the contractual relationship in accordance with these periods without stating reasons. The right to premature termination for good cause remains unaffected for both parties and for all cases. All terminations must be in text form. The written termination can be made by email to residency.membership@campusfounders.de.
  3. CF Ventures may terminate the contract with immediate effect without notice if there is a reason for extraordinary termination. This is the case if the Member is in default with its payment obligations twice, culpably breaches its contractual obligations in other ways, or disturbs the peace in such a sustained manner that a continuation of the contractual relationship is not reasonable. Furthermore, if the basis for the usage relationship with the Member ceases to exist (change or dissolution of the Member's business operations).
  4. In addition, the user is obliged to hand over the used Private Offices/FixDesks swept clean after termination of the contract. All items brought in by the user are to be removed, and the original condition is to be restored. CF Ventures will remove visible signs of wear and tear and damage to floors, walls or inventory at the expense of the Member, plus a processing fee of 15% of the costs incurred for removal.
  5. With the expiration of the contract term, CF Ventures will block access authorization in connection with the Campus Card. If necessary, the Member must take further steps to terminate in accordance with the terms of use of the Campus Card.

§ 9 CONTRACT PERFORMANCE

 

  1. CF Ventures may carry out repairs, renovations, and structural modifications that are appropriate for the preservation and expansion of the building or workplace or for the prevention of hazards or the elimination of damages, after giving reasonable notice and consultation with the members. In case of imminent danger, no approval or notice is required. The Member must keep their workplace accessible in such cases. The member is not entitled to reduce the usage fee due to appropriate works. Claims for damages are excluded.
  2. CF Ventures provides the Member with equipment and technical devices (e.g. flat screens, projectors), as well as other furnishings, in perfect condition.

§ 10 WARRANTY AND LIABILITY

 

  1. The Member has thoroughly inspected the workspaces before concluding the contract. They acknowledge that the workspaces are partly located in an open-plan office and cannot be separately locked, except for the private offices. Due to the known condition, the Member waives any claims under §§ 536, 536a of the German Civil Code (BGB). No claims for reduction of rent exist in this regard. The Member acknowledges that the workspace, including all furnishings, is in contractual condition before use.
  2. The Members are liable for all damages beyond the contractual wear and tear caused by them, their vicarious agents and third parties who entered the premises at the instigation of the members. The Members are obliged to present a valid liability insurance for the time of their stay, which covers damages to the building, to the equipment or to people, caused by the users themselves or by third parties, who entered the premises at the instigation of the users.
  3. CF Ventures does not insure objects, documents or data brought into the premises against, for example, fire, water, theft, burglary or vandalism. In this respect, CF Ventures is not liable for loss, theft, or damage to these items, documents, or data, insofar as this is not due to grossly negligent or intentional conduct on the part of a legal representative or team member or other vicarious agents of Campus Founders or CF Ventures. CF Ventures recommends taking out appropriate insurance (e.g. business contents insurance / electronics insurance).
  4. In all cases where CF Ventures is obliged to pay damages or reimbursement of expenses in business transactions due to contractual or legal claims, CF Ventures is only liable if it, its team members, or vicarious agents have acted with intent or gross negligence, or have violated life, body, or health. The liability for the culpable breach of essential contractual obligations remains unaffected. However, liability is limited to the foreseeable, typical contractual damage. Liability for consequential damages, in particular for lost profits or compensation for third-party damages, is excluded unless CF Ventures acted with intent or gross negligence.
  5. CF Ventures assumes no liability for the violation of third-party protective rights regarding the work of users as well as the transmission of data and data carriers by the user. The Member is responsible for ensuring that all competition law, copyright law, trademark law, data protection law, or other violations of the law are avoided in the context of the contractual relationship with CF Ventures. If CF Ventures becomes aware of such legal violations, it has the right to terminate the contractual relationship immediately. In case of legal violations, the Member indemnifies CF Ventures against any claims by third parties. The member shall reimburse CF Ventures for the costs of legal proceedings in the amount of the statutory attorney fees if CF Ventures is held liable by third parties due to a legal violation.

 

§ 11 FINAL PROVISIONS

 

  1. CF Ventures reserves the right to change these Residency Membership Terms and Conditions at any time without giving reasons, unless this is unreasonable for the user.

  2. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply.
  3. The place of jurisdiction is the registered office of CF Ventures in Heilbronn.
  4. If individual provisions are wholly or partially invalid or lose their legal effect at a later point, the validity of the remaining terms and conditions shall not be affected.

The same applies in the event that any additions become necessary.

ANNEX 4 / RESIDENCY MEMBERSHIP - Campus Lab Code of Conduct

Version 01

Valid from 01.05.2023

Our Campus Lab on the Bildungscampus is the physical home for our community, a center of gravity for entrepreneurship and co-innovation. Here, we bring our community together in-person to accompany, inspire, inform, empower and network throughout the entrepreneurial journey.

 

Foremost, our Campus Lab is a safe, trustworthy, and respectful environment for everyone. In order to maintain this standard, we all adhere to the following Code of Conduct for interacting within the Campus Lab.

 

Do’s:

  • Focus on your projects, tasks, or ideas. The Campus Lab is the basis to expand and let these ideas grow, not to prepare for exams or the like.
  • Be honest. If something gets damaged or destroyed, we are honest about it and let the team know directly.
  • Clean-up workspaces and materials after using them. We return all furniture and materials back where we found them and collectively contribute to keeping the workspaces organized.
  • Help keep the kitchen clean. Everybody is responsible for cleaning up after themselves. This includes putting all dirty dishes in the dishwasher, throwing away garbage and putting empty bottles in their correct place. If the surfaces of the counter become dirty, we clean them.
  • Respect private spaces of the Campus Founders Team, such as fridges, cabinets, or offices.
  • Switch off lights and lock windows and doors, if you are the last person in the space.
  • Feel responsible and remind others about this code of conduct, if they are not acting appropriately.

 

Dont’s:

  • Distribute flyers or hang posters without asking for permission from the Community Manager first.
  • Consume food outside of the community kitchen. Help us keep our space clean by only eating in the kitchen.
  • Leave food in the fridge for more than a day.
  • Consume drinks in cups without a lid in the open space. This includes coffee!

 

Please approach someone from the Community Team if something is empty or missing, or if you notice someone in violation of these guidelines. Serious violations from the Code of Conduct can lead to banishment from the Campus Lab, and possibly other Campus Founders offers.
