Terms of use

Registration and password

The user is obliged to treat the user name/password combination confidentially and not to pass it on to third parties. If misuse of the access data is suspected, the operator must be informed.

Expressions of opinion in comments and in the forum

Due to the constantly changing content of comments and in the forum, it is not possible for the operator to sift through all contributions, check their content and exercise direct active control over them. No responsibility is assumed for the content, correctness and form of the posted contributions.

Special provisions for registered users

By registering, the user - hereinafter referred to as "member" - agrees to the following terms of use vis-à-vis the operator:

Members who participate in discussion forums and comments undertake to do so,

1. To refrain from any insults, criminal content, pornography and coarse language in your contributions.
2. To bear sole responsibility for the content they post, not to infringe the rights of third parties (in particular trademark rights, copyrights and personal rights) and to fully indemnify the operators from claims by third parties triggered by their contributions.
3. Neither to post advertising of any kind in forums nor in comments or to use forums and comments for any kind of commercial activity. In particular, this applies to the publication of "0190" telephone numbers for any purpose.

There is no entitlement to publication of submitted comments or forum contributions. The operator reserves the right to edit or delete comments and forum contributions at its own discretion. In the event of violations of the obligations under 1., 2. and 3. above, the operator further reserves the right to block the membership for a limited period of time or to delete it permanently.

Submission of contributions and articles

Insofar as the member makes use of the possibility to submit own contributions for the editorial section, the following shall apply:

A prerequisite for posting one's own contributions is that the member has entered his or her full and correct first and last name in his or her user profile or enters it there after submitting the article. The name entered there will be used to identify the submitted contribution (publicly) when it is published.

The member makes the following declarations for all contributions submitted by him or her in the future:

1. The member assures that the submitted contributions are free of third party rights, in particular copyrights, trademark rights or personal rights. This applies to all submitted contributions and images.
2. The member grants the operators an unrestricted right of use to the contributions submitted. This includes publication on this website as well as on other internet servers, in newsletters, print media and other publications.
3. Contributions submitted will be deleted or anonymised at the member's request by e-mail to the webmaster's address. The deletion or anonymisation shall take place within 7 days after notification. The operators shall only be liable for consequential damages incurred by the member as a result of the delayed deletion of the contribution insofar as they are not based on a breach of duty by the member (above under 1), 2) and 3) ) and insofar as they are also based on gross negligence or intent on the part of the operators. In this context, we expressly point out that the website is regularly indexed by search engines and that we have no influence on whether, where and for how long contributions published by us are possibly stored and retrievable in databases of search engines and web catalogues even after deletion.
4. There is no entitlement to storage, publication or archiving of the submitted contributions. The operators reserve the right not to publish submitted contributions without giving reasons, to edit them before publication or to delete them again after publication at their own discretion.
5. The publication of submitted contributions does not give rise to any claims for remuneration (fees, licence fees, reimbursement of expenses or similar) on the part of the member vis-à-vis the operators. Participation is on an honorary basis (free of charge).
