    1. Cumulative eligibility criteria. The eligibility criteria set forth in this Article VI are cumulative.

 

    1. General conditions of eligibility. To be eligible to register as a User of OSIP (which is mandatory condition to become a Participant in a Campaign or Channel launched through OSIP), the User must fill in the registration form available on the OSIP, with all the required information including the identifying name and a verifiable email address.

 

          There shall be no entitlement to use the OSIP. ESA shall be entitled to refuse registration as Users for any reason.

 

    1. Statement of eligibility. By registering as Users on OSIP, Users are deemed having accepted:
  1. to comply with these Conditions and Additional Terms;
  2. to be subject to the ESA Personal Data Protection Framework.

 

    1. Exclusion of Users. Notwithstanding the possibility for ESA to refuse registration of any User for any reason, any User will be excluded from using OSIP if any of the following events occurs:
  1. the User fails to fulfil any of these Conditions or any terms and conditions referred to herein,
  2. the User is acting in a manner inconsistent with ESA reputation and status;
  3. the User falls under any of the following situations:
    1. the User has been the subject of a judgement which has the force of res judicata for fraud, corruption, involvement in a criminal organisation, money laundering or any other illegal activity;
    2. the User violated, or is suspected of violating, Intellectual Property Rights of a third party.

 

VII.                 How to use OSIP

 

    1. Registration procedure. Registration on OSIP is free of charge.

 

Users shall ensure that the contact details and other information requested by ESA during the registration procedure shall be correct and complete.

 

    1. Preliminary verification. Once all the data and documents requested for registration have been submitted by an User, the application and the supporting documents may be checked by ESA. ESA may send to the User an e-mail to the e-mail address provided, with a link to the confirmation of registration in OSIP.

 

    1. Use of OSIP upon registration. Upon receipt of the e-mail of confirmation of registration to OSIP, the Users may be granted access to OSIP for their use only as authorized herein. To do so, Users first have to confirm their activation by clicking on the link in the e-mail and also confirm that they accepted these OSIP Conditions, the ESA Personal Data Protection Framework as well as the Additional Terms (if any).

 

The User is responsible for keeping the access details secret. The User is also responsible for all use of the OSIP account upon registration and may be held liable for any use in violation to these Conditions or prejudicial to ESA or third parties. The User must notify ESA in case of suspected or real unauthorized use of, or access to, User’s account in OSIP.

 

    1. Updating information. All information requested by ESA during the registration procedure that the User submits through OSIP must be kept updated by the User. The User’s failure to do so will constitute a violation of these Conditions which may result in the immediate termination of the access to OSIP and, thus, of any participation in a Campaign or Channel.

 

    1. Protected content (other than Ideas) on OSIP. OSIP may contain information, images, video and/or audio recordings or works, materials, logos or any other content which is (or may be) protected by Intellectual Property Rights belonging to ESA or to third party licensors of ESA. The Users are not allowed to copy, download, reproduce, duplicate, archive, modify, perform, publish, share, make available any such content contained in or though OSIP or make any authorized use thereof. The Users are also forbidden to create any kind of derivative works or materials using the content contained in or though OSIP.

 

    1. Modification, suspension or discontinuance of use of OSIP. ESA may change, suspend or discontinue use of OSIP, of User’s account or of any feature thereof at any time, without prior notice, and shall have no liability to the User(s) for such change, suspension or discontinuance. Also, there may be features of OSIP conditional upon the fulfilment of certain conditions which will be deemed to be Additional Terms applicable to the User. The User may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the OSIP by any means. Suspension or discontinuance of such use trigger suspension or, as the case may be, discontinuance of participation to a Campaign or Channel. In case of termination of participation, the contractual relation established between ESA and the User by the acceptance of these OSIP Conditions shall also end, save the surviving terms and conditions.

 

VIII.                      User profiles

 

    1. Personal profiles. If the function is available on the OSIP, Users may voluntarily add personal details to their profile within the scope of these OSIP Conditions.

 

    1. No mandatory verification. As a rule, ESA is not obliged to verify the identity of profile owners or the details provided in the profiles. ESA therefore does not guarantee that each profile owner actually corresponds to the person whom the profile owner claims to be.

 

    1. Deregistration of profile in OSIP. Termination of access. Users may terminate their access to the OSIP at any time using any means available on OSIP. Termination automatically ends the participation to the Campaign or Channel and the contractual relationship established by the acceptance of these OSIP Conditions (save the surviving terms and conditions). Thus, the User may no longer make use of the access. Upon termination, ESA anonymises the profile by removing the User name and the password. Upon deregistration from the OSIP and following expiry of any statutory record-keeping periods, ESA shall be entitled to irretrievably delete or anonymise all data created in connection with a User’s participation.

 

IX.                                   User Content

 

  1. Users may submit any materials (e.g. registration materials) and post certain content (e.g. comments on Ideas proposed by other Users, ratings given to Ideas proposed by other Users etc.) onto the OSIP to the extent permitted by the functionalities of OSIP (herein “User Content”), thereby making it available to third parties.

 

  1. Without prejudice to the possibility foreseen in Article IX, paragraph 4 below, by submitting an User Content in OSIP , the User irrevocably grants ESA (whether or not ESA is the Organiser of the Campaign or Channel) and the Organiser (if different from ESA) - without a formal declaration being needed in this respect - a free of charge, perpetual, worldwide and transferable right of use of the relevant User Content for any purposes related to the operation of OSIP, the conduct of Campaigns and/or Channels, and the subsequent implementation paths (if any), including the rights to:

 

  1. edit, reproduce, store the User Content on any device, equipment, server, network etc.  (whether operated by, or for, ESA) as well as to display, share, process it and make it available publicly (e.g. by displaying the Content on the OSIP);
  2. authorise the use (including the exercise of the rights mentioned in paragraph a) above) of the User Content by any evaluation panel, expert, on-site contractor, advisor or any third party acting for ESA and/or Organiser;
  3. use the User Content for ESA communication purposes, in particular related to OSIP.

 

  1. Upon ESA request, the Participant undertakes to:
  1.  demonstrate that the Participant actually has intellectual property rights in the User Content and
  2. to execute any document necessary to confirm the rights granted by these OSIP Conditions.

 

  1. Notwithstanding the paragraph (2) above, the Users may decide to take down User Content they have posted to OSIP by using a functionality in OSIP (if and for as long as such functionality is available), the above rights of use shall lapse for further use. However, ESA shall be entitled to retain copies for backup and/or verification purposes and for the purpose of managing any formality triggered by the termination of the access to OSIP and/or participation in the Campaign or Channel.

 

  1. The Participant must not insert any content forbidden under these OSIP Conditions, in particular any Third Party element that would infringe upon any Intellectual Property or other rights of any person or entity or which the User is not permitted to deliver with the licenses granted as set forth herein or which would trigger application of other terms and conditions.

 

  1. ESA reserves the right, but disclaims any obligation or responsibility, to control, remove, to refuse to post User Content and/or to edit, block or remove posted User Content (including comments) or to undertake the examination of the Content, including to check its completeness, accuracy, legality, relevance, quality or appropriateness for a particular purpose. The User remains responsible of its User Content, regardless of the examination or assessment made by ESA.

 

In particular, any User Content submitted by the Users in OSIP must not:
