These provisions also apply to external platforms, in particular artificial intelligence systems, that make it possible for third parties to store content from the resources and use it at some point in the future.

In the event of a violation of these rules, WU may disclose the infringing user’s contact data to its contractual partners or block the user from accessing the electronic resources. Any costs and damages resulting from claims made against WU because of infringements of the rights of third parties caused by a user shall be borne by the individual responsible.
