A contract of use is concluded between the TUW and the user by the user's acceptance of the terms of use (placing an electronic tick) when logging in for the first time. As the portal operator, the TUW is entitled to unilaterally amend these terms of use at any time and reserves the right to do so. Please note that the Terms of Use are always valid in the current version.

Use of the video portal
-
Publications from Media
-
a) Fundamental
For uploading and managing media, membership in user group TU Editor or higher is required.
"Own media" are media for which the user is the author or media for which the user demonstrably holds rights of use to an extent sufficient for the specific purpose of use. Under no circumstances may the use or uploading of these media violate legal regulations, such as the Data Protection Act or the EU Data Protection Regulation, or copyright law (including the "right to one's own image").
-
b) Members of the TU Editor are allowed to do the following:
- Make your own media visible only to yourself (publication status "Private - the medium can only be viewed by yourself").
- To publish own media in such a way that only members of TUW Vienna can consume these media.
- Integrate your own media in coLAB, TU Wiki or the TYPO3 website
-
c) Members of TU Publisher are permitted to do the following:
- All permissions of the TU Editors group
- Release requests for automated transcription and other AI-based services.
- Publish own media in such a way that anonymous visitors to the media portal can consume them, whereby a self-responsible deactivation of the publication status of the media from "Private" as well as the assignment to the Publishing Policy Global Content must take place.
- Make own media or media to which the corresponding processing rights have been transferred publicly available (via link or also by assigning them to the Public Publishing Policy).
-
d) Administrators are additionally permitted to do the following:
- Extension of access rights to media after request by editors and TU members or blocking of content.
-
Copyright - Upload & Distribution
- a) All content published on the TUW video portal is subject to copyright.
- b) By uploading, every person who initiates an upload agrees that the medium concerned will appear on the video portal and can be consumed by other users. The uploading person is responsible for selecting the authorised group of users.
- c) It is strictly forbidden to upload media to which the uploading person does not own the rights or has not been explicitly authorised (in writing) to do so by the author.
-
Deleting media
The deletion of media from the video portal must be carried out by the respective creator of the entry. After the deletion of a media entry by the creator, the medium is no longer available on the video portal. However, it is still possible to request a restoration of the medium for one month from the Admin istrator. After this period, deleted media will be permanently deleted from the server. There is also the possibility to define an expiration date at which the respective recording will be automatically deleted.
Since the login to the video platform runs via the upTUdate SSO of the TU Vienna, the existence of access is subject to the condition that the respective user account is active in upTUdate. If a user leaves the TU Vienna, it is possible to request deletion of the account in accordance with the guidelines of the TU Vienna. If a user account that has uploaded videos is deleted, the media will be overwritten to a general service account. All rights of use of the media are hereby also transferred to TUWien. If a user does not want their media to continue to be used, they will ensure that their media is deleted in a timely manner. If media is to be overwritten to another user, this must be communicated to the system administrator via the Service Center via the Assyst Ticket in good time before the account deletion request. (Or can be done independently via the Grant Access feature). If the creator of a video is no longer active at TUW and therefore no longer has access to the portal, the videos will be kept or deleted at the discretion of TUW. Videos taken over from third parties will only be made available within the Edu-environment (TU Vienna or ACOnet).

Availability
