1.4 Juniper3 shall be entitled to adapt its services and to make design and technical changes, insofar as it deems this to be reasonable for technical reasons or due to market developments and the interests of the customer - taking into account performance and consideration - are not unreasonably impaired as a result.

2.4 If the customer receives access data and passwords, he will store them with the greatest care in order to prevent misuse. The customer is expressly required to change the passwords regularly. As soon as the customer becomes aware that his or her access data are being used without authorization or that they have been made available to third parties, he or she will inform Juniper3 immediately.

2.5 Each user account to which access is granted by means of access data is only intended for personal access. The account may not be transferred to third parties for use.
