Terms of use

Scope

These terms cover the use of this website. They do not cover software published here, which is licensed separately and on its own terms, nor any commercial engagement, which runs through Gelhaus Solutions.

What this site is

A personal site describing its author's work. Everything on it is provided for information. It is not advice, and nothing on it creates a professional relationship or an obligation to act.

Availability

The site is provided as it is and as it happens to be available. It runs on a single machine, is maintained by one person, and may be unavailable, incomplete or out of date at any time. No availability is promised or owed.

Accuracy

Figures quoted about published work are fetched automatically from the systems that hold them and carry the time they were last checked. They are correct as of that time and no further. Everything else reflects a view held when it was written.

No warranty, and no service level

This site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, and is used at your own risk. Nothing on it is owed to anybody. No availability, no response time and no correction of any error is promised, and nothing here creates a commitment to provide any of them.

Anything published here free of charge is provided gratuitously; liability for it is limited to intent and gross negligence (Sections 521 and 599 BGB).

Liability

To the fullest extent the law permits, there is no liability for any damage arising from the use of this site, from its unavailability, or from reliance on anything published on it.

Where mandatory law does not permit that, the following applies instead. Liability is unlimited for damage arising from injury to life, body or health, for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, where a guarantee has been given, and in the scope of the Produkthaftungsgesetz. For simple negligence, liability exists only for the breach of an essential contractual obligation, and is then limited to the damage typically foreseeable for an agreement of this kind.

Within those limits, liability for indirect damage, consequential damage, lost profit, lost or corrupted data and business interruption is excluded.

Nothing here limits liability where the law does not permit it to be limited, and nothing here affects the statutory rights of a consumer.

Beyond our control

There is no responsibility for failures caused by circumstances outside reasonable control, including network and power failures, the acts of upstream providers, denial-of-service attacks, and legal or regulatory orders.

Links

Pages linked from here are not under our control, and responsibility for their content lies with whoever provides them.

Governing law

German law applies. The place of jurisdiction is the registered seat of the provider, so far as one may lawfully be agreed.

Changes

These terms may change. The version published here at the time of use is the one that applies.
