Mein Filehorst-Konto

1. Service description
   1. filehorst.de is a file hosting service (hereinafter also: "Service") that can be used free of charge, which allows users to copy files (e.g. texts, photos, videos) to the provider's servers and to make these files available to third parties for download via a generated link. The use of filehorst.de is also possible without registration.
   2. filehorst.de is mainly financed by the voluntary contributions of its users. The service is dependent on these donations and must inform its registered users in this regard by circulars (mails). The receipt of these "donation circulars" represents the user's consideration for the free use of filehorst and cannot be unsubscribed. However, some donation circulars can be restricted or unsubscribed after their initial receipt. Complete unsubscription from donation circulars can only be obtained by deleting the registered user account. Other types of circulars, on the other hand, must be ordered proactively and can be unsubscribed from at any time.
   3. filehorst.de explicitly does not represent a platform for external backup of important data.
2. Registration

In particular, maintenance, security or capacity issues as well as events beyond the control of the Provider (disruptions of public communication networks, power outages, etc.) may lead to disruptions or temporary unavailability.

5. Deletion of the user account
   1. The user can delete his user account at any time. The deletion of the user account does not automatically lead to the deletion of all files uploaded via the user account. Therefore, the deletion of files that are no longer desired should be carried out before the deletion of the user account.
   2. The provider is entitled to block or delete user accounts if the user violates the GTC, in particular uploads inadmissible files.
