A. General
§ 1 An offer by the client is made by phone or through personal handover or submission of an order by mail, fax, or email. Upon the subsequent order confirmation by Wegweiser Media & Conferences GmbH or Wegweiser Research & Strategy GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Wegweiser"), the contract between the client and Wegweiser is concluded.
§ 2 Payment conditions, unless otherwise specified below, are based on the information in the order confirmation. In case of delayed payment, legal default regulations apply. If the billing address differs from the client's address, it must be separately communicated.
§ 3 The client is entitled to set off only if any counterclaims have been legally established, are undisputed, or have been acknowledged by Wegweiser.
§ 4 Warranty and liability of Wegweiser, unless otherwise specified below, are governed by legal regulations. If the client wishes to assert rights based on Wegweiser's intentional or grossly negligent non-timely performance, he must credibly demonstrate the lack of interest in the rendered partial performance. Claims for damages are excluded, regardless of the nature of the breach of duty, including unlawful acts, unless intentional or grossly negligent conduct is present. Liability for damages is limited to foreseeable, typically occurring damages in the absence of intentional conduct. In the case of a breach of essential contractual obligations, i.e., obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the client could rely, Wegweiser is liable for any negligence. Claims for lost profits, saved expenses, third-party claims for damages, as well as other indirect and consequential damages cannot be asserted, unless Wegweiser has guaranteed a feature specifically to protect the client against such damages. The above limitations and exclusions of liability do not apply to claims arising from intentional misconduct by Wegweiser, liability for guaranteed characteristics, claims under the Product Liability Act, and damages resulting from the violation of life, body, or health.
§ 5 According to §§ 28 and 33 of the Federal Data Protection Act of January 14, 2003, it is pointed out that we use electronic data processing for distribution and contract processing. For this purpose, we have stored personal data, to the extent relevant for contract processing, with us or with third parties.
§ 6 The place of performance and jurisdiction is Berlin if the contracting parties are merchants.
§ 7 If any of the above or following provisions are or become invalid, the parties agree that this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid provision(s) shall, if possible, be interpreted or supplemented in accordance with §§ 133, 140 BGB (German Civil Code) in such a way that the intended purpose of the invalid provision(s) is achieved. The same applies if a need for supplementation becomes apparent in the implementation of this agreement.
§ 8 If deviating agreements are made that do not comply with the "General Terms and Conditions," they must be in writing in any case. This also applies to the regulation under this § 7.
B. Study
§ 9 Wegweiser informs the client about the task, the services to be provided for its fulfillment, the possible time required for the study, and the fee to be paid. The client receives this information solely to decide on awarding the offered study. The content of this information may only be published or disclosed to third parties in mutual agreement, unless otherwise agreed or the information is made public.
§ 10 The fee mentioned in the information generally includes all services specified by Wegweiser in connection with the execution of the order in the offer. For additional services desired by the client beyond those mentioned in the offer, Wegweiser may charge an additional fee. Additional costs that are not the responsibility of Wegweiser and additional costs that were not foreseeable despite due diligence by Wegweiser can be invoiced separately if they are based on a materially justified reason and are clearly recognizable and sufficiently determined for the client. This also applies if the client is not responsible for these costs. Changes in the order volume after contract conclusion require an explicit agreement between the parties.
§ 11 Wegweiser cannot grant exclusivity for certain product fields, subjects of investigation, or research methods unless expressly agreed upon. If exclusivity is agreed upon, its duration and any additional fee to be charged must be determined.
§ 12 The client receives the study results exclusively for his own use. The client may only publish or disclose the content with the express and written consent of Wegweiser, unless otherwise agreed or the information is made public. For this purpose, the study results or the study may not be reproduced, printed, or stored, processed, or distributed in information and documentation systems of any kind by the client. If the client wishes to quote from the study results or the study in whole or in part, he must identify the quotes as such and name Wegweiser as the author of the study results or the study. The client indemnifies Wegweiser from all claims asserted against Wegweiser because the client has used the properly obtained results intentionally or negligently unlawfully (e.g., advertising unlawfully and/or falsely with them).
§ 13 Unless exclusivity of the study results or the study is expressly and in writing agreed with the client, Wegweiser has the right to publish, reproduce, distribute, or otherwise exploit them.
§ 14 Wegweiser retains all rights granted to it by copyright law. Unless otherwise agreed, ownership of the material generated during the execution of the order—data carriers of any kind, questionnaires, other written documents, etc.—and the generated data lies with Wegweiser. An agreement of this kind must not jeopardize the anonymity of the respondents or test persons. The copyright of the client in documents that he has developed remains unaffected.
§ 15 The client's cooperation in the study and the review of the implementation and results of the study by the client require a separate agreement. Wegweiser is obligated to maintain the anonymity of the respondents or test persons. Additional costs arising from this must be borne by the client.
§ 16 Wegweiser undertakes to keep survey documents for a period of one year and data carriers for a period of two years after delivery of the study report unless another agreement has been expressly made.
§ 17 If the delivery of the study results does not take place on time or if test material is damaged or lost, the client can set a reasonable deadline for performance or subsequent performance for Wegweiser. Otherwise, legal regulations apply. Wegweiser is not liable for the consequences of delayed delivery or loss or damage to test material, insofar as the delay or loss or damage is due to circumstances a) outside the operational area of Wegweiser, in particular in the area of the client and not culpably caused by Wegweiser, in cases of natural disasters or other cases of force majeure, government intervention, and labor disputes; or b) which, although within the operational area of Wegweiser, are not attributable to Wegweiser, in particular in the event of disruptions to operations due to force majeure, government intervention, or labor disputes. The client's right of withdrawal according to legal regulations remains unaffected.
C. Advertisements
§ 18 The term "advertisement" is also used here for "company profile," "image advertisement," "competence advertisement/profile," "best practice presentation," and similar, and also for advertisements to be published electronically/online. The client is obligated to ensure that all content provided by him for advertisements and similar does not violate legal regulations, that the client holds the necessary usage rights for the publication of the content in print, online, and other areas, and that the use of the content does not violate the rights of third parties or other applicable legal regulations, such as trademark, copyright, or competition law. In case of a violation of the above obligation, the client is obligated to compensate Wegweiser for the damages resulting from the breach. This also includes the costs of legal defense. The client also indemnifies Wegweiser from all claims by third parties based on such culpable breach of duty. Other claims, especially for the blocking of content by Wegweiser and/or for extraordinary termination, remain unaffected.
§ 19 The client is obliged to ensure > that all content provided by him for advertisements and the like does not violate legal provisions, > that the rights of use necessary for the publication of the content in print, online and other areas lie with the client, > that these are transferred to Wegweiser or granted to Wegweiser if and to the extent necessary and > that the use of the content neither violates the intellectual property rights of third parties nor other applicable legal provisions such as: B. violate trademark, copyright or competition regulations. In the event of a breach of the above obligation, the client is obliged to compensate the signpost for any damage resulting from the breach of duty. This also includes the costs of legal defense. The client also releases Wegweiser from all third-party claims that are based on such a culpable breach of duty. Other claims, in particular to block content through signposts and/or extraordinary termination, remain unaffected.
§ 20 Wegweiser is entitled to reject advertisements and insert orders, even after the conclusion of the contract, because of their content, origin or technical form in accordance with Wegweiser's uniform, objectively justified principles if their content violates the law, official regulations or common decency or their publication is for Signpost is unreasonable. This also applies to inserts and bound-in orders. However, there is no obligation for signposts to be checked. Inserts and insert orders can be rejected in particular if their format or presentation gives the impression that they are part of the publication.
§ 21 No guarantee is given for the inclusion of advertisements, supplements and third-party supplements in certain numbers, editions or in certain places in the publication. Wegweiser has the right to change the content of a multi-volume work and to adapt the publication accordingly if this promotes the purpose of distribution.
§ 22 Advertising orders are binding if they are placed by the client in accordance with § 1.
§ 23 The execution of an advertising order is based on the information provided in the order confirmation, especially regarding the printing in 4c (scale) and the resulting possible color deviation for logos with special colors.
§ 24 The client is responsible for the timely delivery of the advertising text and flawless printing templates or inserts. Therefore, the format must be determined in advance for digital data carriers. Otherwise, the client acknowledges the instructions given by Wegweiser for typesetting, repro, and printing as part of the contract.
§ 25 If the execution of the advertising order is not possible because the documents are not provided on time, not complete, or in insufficient quality, Wegweiser can charge up to 60% of the advertising price as damages without further proof. With appropriate evidence, Wegweiser can invoice a higher fee as damages. Likewise, the client is free to demonstrate a lesser damage to Wegweiser in individual cases. If the ordered advertisements appear only partially due to circumstances not attributable to Wegweiser, the client must pay the fee at least proportionally. Granted discounts are based on the number of actually published advertisements.
§ 26 In the case of a defective print of the advertisement, the client is entitled to a reduction in payment. In the case of errors significantly affecting the purpose of the advertisement, the client is entitled to the publication of a flawless replacement advertisement in the next available issue. If the replacement advertisement is also defective, the client is entitled to a reduction in payment and withdrawal from the corresponding part of the contract. Otherwise, § 4 applies.
§ 27 The client bears the costs for the creation of commissioned designs, printing blocks, lithographs, and final artwork as well as subsequent changes unless Wegweiser expressly assumes the costs for creating the print template according to the order confirmation.
§ 28 Proof prints (also in digital form) are only provided upon request. If the client does not return the proof print sent to him in a timely manner within a period of 24 hours, the proof print is deemed approved. The deadline is based on the receipt by Wegweiser. Wegweiser undertakes to explicitly inform the client in connection with the sending of the proof print that the proof print is deemed approved if it is not returned by the client within 24 hours.
§ 29 Printing materials are only returned upon special request and at the client's expense. The retention period is three months after the execution of the order.
§ 30 All warranty and damages claims are excluded if they are not asserted within four weeks after the publication of the printed matter by written notice of defects.
§ 31 If a specific advertisement size is not agreed upon, Wegweiser is authorized to choose an advertisement size that corresponds to the advertising order in a reasonable manner, taking into account an appropriate font size. The advertisement is then billed based on its actually published form.
D. Conference Participation (Conference Fees)
§ 32 As an organizer with more than 25 years of experience, we guarantee to provide the services announced in the event prospectus or on the event website. However, we reserve the right to make necessary changes to the event program while preserving the overall character of the event, especially replacing announced speakers with others or changing the venue if it is reasonable for participants and the alternative venue is equivalent.
If there is a disruption in performance at the event venue and in cases of force majeure, police or official instructions beyond our sphere of influence, we may postpone the event to a new date, taking the overall situation into account. If you are a business entity or not a consumer and the cancellation occurs due to force majeure, a previously paid event fee will not be refunded.
In case of cancellation of registration for conference participation up to 8 weeks before the event date, we charge a processing fee of 50% as a cancellation fee (plus VAT). For later cancellations or "no-show," the entire participation fee will be charged unless you prove in individual cases a different amount of damages or expenses incurred. The cancellation must be in writing. A substitute participant can be provided at any time. Cancellation is excluded for special rates with discounts (Early-Birds).
By registering for an in-person or online conference, the participant declares his consent for his name to be included in a participant list with the following data:
Title, Last Name, First Name, Institution.
The participant also agrees that photos/films will be taken, and he/she will be depicted in them, and the photos/films will be published in online, print, and other media.
E. Conference | Sponsorship | Exhibition | Workshop | Booth
§ 33 The terms "Sponsorship," "Exhibition," "Workshop," and "Booth" refer to supporting an event, including online events, the positioning of topics and speakers, setting up an information booth, or providing a workshop during an event.
§ 34 Signposting assigns the booth space, taking into account the theme and structure of the event and the available premises. If the event takes place in rented rooms, the booth allocation may also be done by the landlord. Signposting reserves the right to assign the exhibitor a booth in a different location than confirmed, change the size of their exhibition space, and make other structural changes if there is a significant interest in such measures due to special circumstances (e.g., blocking escape routes, fire alarms). In this case, the client is entitled to withdraw from the rental agreement in writing within one week of receiving notice of such a change if their interests are unreasonably affected.
§ 35 Wegweiser is authorized to reduce the overall number of exhibitors and the exhibited goods due to lack of space, to the extent that this is necessary for the purpose of the exhibition. If the changed service differs significantly from the original service offered and the value of the exhibition stand for the client is reduced as a result, the stand rent will be adjusted.
§ 36 During the event, the client is subject to the house rules of the company where the exhibition rooms were rented. Booth construction, design, and stability must comply with Signposting's general regulations (see § 35) and, if applicable, the Technical Guidelines of the company where the exhibition rooms were rented (see hall regulations). The client is liable for all damages to the building, rooms, and facilities caused by them or their employees. For any rented items from the company where the exhibition rooms were rented, the tenant is liable for the duration of use, even if damages and losses are caused by third parties.
§ 37 Booth construction, booth equipment, and booth stability are the responsibility of the client. Special constructions and connections require approval from Signposting. Presentations must be arranged to avoid visual or acoustic disturbances and structural impairments to neighboring booths and the event. In case of non-compliance, Signposting is, at its discretion, entitled to prohibit harassing or obstructive presentations and to terminate the exhibition contract immediately upon repeated violation. Signposting is entitled to remove exhibition items from the booth if they violate good manners. Advertising for political and ideological purposes is prohibited. Booths must be staffed and contain exhibition goods during the specified opening hours. The client will be informed by Signposting about the setup and dismantling period of the booth and must adhere to it. After the expiration of the dismantling period, Signposting is entitled to set a reasonable deadline for the removal of any remaining items. After this deadline, Signposting is entitled to dispose of the items left behind at the client's expense. No storage of objects is required; they can be disposed of, and disposal costs can be invoiced.
§ 38 The shared use of booth space by multiple companies is only allowed if expressly approved by Signposting, and written confirmation is provided. An authorized exhibition representative must be named, who is liable for their own fault and the fault of their principals. Booth exchange and booth assignment to third parties must be coordinated with Signposting.
§ 39 Signposting is entitled, if it has a significant interest in such measures due to special circumstances, to relocate the event spatially and/or temporally, as well as to change the event duration and/or opening hours. In the event of a relocation of the event or a change in the event duration, the contract is considered concluded for the new period and/or venue; there is generally no right of withdrawal, nor is there a right to withdraw from a change in opening hours. Claims for damages cannot be asserted. If the event cannot take place due to reasons not attributable to Signposting or due to force majeure, police or official instructions, Signposting is entitled to cancel the event or reschedule it to a new date. Signposting is not liable for restrictions in the case of a complete cancellation caused by force majeure, police or official instructions. Refunds of exhibition and sponsorship fees are excluded for these cases.
If an already opened event is terminated due to events beyond the control of Signposting, withdrawal from the contract or assertion of a claim for damages is excluded. The same applies if Signposting is forced to temporarily or permanently close one or more event areas or the entire event area due to force majeure or any other circumstance. This includes usage restrictions in the contractually assigned booth area or access to it, resulting from renovation or construction measures or official regulations and requirements; in such cases, Signposting will, without acknowledging any legal obligation, seek an alternative solution in each case.
§ 40 Signposting assumes no duty of care for exhibition goods and booth furnishings and excludes any liability for damages to them unless intentional or grossly negligent.
§ 41 Filming, photographing, and drawing of the exhibition are only allowed with prior express written consent from Signposting. Signposting is authorized to use recordings for press publications or advertising. The participant hereby agrees that photos/films will be taken of them and published in online, print, and other media.
§ 42 Regular termination of exhibition, workshop, and/or conference participation is excluded unless a special termination right is provided for in this contract. The right of both parties to terminate for cause remains unaffected.
§ 43 If the client does not participate in the conference without proper termination of the contract, Signposting is entitled to invoice up to 90% of the price without further proof, provided that the offered services could not be quickly assigned to other interested parties. With appropriate evidence, Signposting may charge a higher fee. The client is not precluded from proving in individual cases that the remuneration required by statutory provisions is less than the aforementioned lump sum. The client may provide a replacement participant for conference participation at any time.
F. Online Media
§ 44 This part of the terms and conditions applies to the use of Wegweiser's online presence or online networks. The online presences and online networks are information and communication platforms and also offer paid advertising and online presentation options for companies.
§ 45 The online networks are platforms that provide natural and legal persons who have registered a user account (hereinafter "user") with various applications for free or paid use. In particular, these extend to:
- The provision of company and user profiles and similar functions for the creation and management of textual and graphic content that can be visible to all or certain user groups of the networks,
- the provision of functions for communication with other users,
- the provision of functions for the creation, management and use of groups within the networks and
- the provision of information and content by signposts or by third parties.
§ 46 Registering as a user in one of the online networks and using the applications provided there is for certain user groups, e.g. B. Employees from health care facilities and public administration free of charge. For other user groups, e.g. B. Companies that offer services and products for the healthcare market or the public sector, as well as their employees, are subject to a fee for using the online networks. The latter can only register as users in one of the online networks if their company has previously concluded a contract for the use of paid services with signposts.
§ 47 Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the contract for the use of paid services on one of the online presences or in one of the online networks is concluded by the customer's acceptance of an offer from Wegweiser. Wegweiser is entitled to withdraw from the contract if there is an objectively justified reason. An objective reason is given in particular in the case of serious behavior that violates the contract or the customer's lack of creditworthiness, which continues despite complaints from Wegweiser. The right to extraordinary termination remains unaffected. The agreement for the free use of services in one of the online networks is concluded when the authorized user registers, agrees to these General Terms and Conditions and receives a confirmation email via signpost. The user guarantees that all data provided during registration is true and complete. The user is obliged to report changes to his user data immediately. The user is prohibited from using pseudonyms or artist names. There is no right to conclude a user agreement.
§ 48 The minimum contractual term for the use of paid services on one of the online presences or in one of the online networks (e.g. setting up companies and user profiles, publishing content such as company portraits, practical reports or product presentations) is at least 12 Months. The order can be terminated with four weeks' notice before the end of the term, otherwise the term is automatically extended by a further 12 months. This does not affect early, extraordinary termination for good cause, particularly in the cases provided for in these terms and conditions. To be effective, any termination must be in writing or in qualified electronic form. An ordinary termination of the agreement for the free use of services in one of the online networks is possible for both parties at any time and without giving reasons. The text form (e-mail) is sufficient for termination.
§ 49 Wegweiser is entitled to adjust the fees, service content and functionalities of the online presence and online networks by notifying the user in writing or electronically (i.e. by email) with a notice period of two months. Prerequisites and reasons for such a change in services or remuneration can be technical, legal or economic requirements. The change will be made in such a way and to the extent that the interests of both sides are as balanced as possible, provided that this does not unreasonably disadvantage the user. If the user does not want to continue the contract at the changed tariffs, he is entitled to extraordinary termination with 14 days' notice at the time of the change. To be effective, the termination must be in writing or in qualified electronic form. Otherwise, the user's rights are excluded from this.
§ 50 The user is responsible for the identification required for access to the online presences and online networks (username, password and other access identifiers and/or personal passwords), in particular for maintaining the strictest secrecy. He is liable for damages resulting from misuse or loss of this identifier. The user must inform Wegweiser immediately as soon as he becomes aware that access IDs or a personal password are known to unauthorized third parties. If he has reason to suspect that a third party may have found out his password, he is obliged to change it immediately. Each user may only register once and create only one user profile. Wegweiser reserves the right to delete one, several or all user profiles in the event of multiple registrations.
§ 51 The user is also obliged not to use the online presence in an abusive manner. In particular, for the purpose of proper use, he is obliged to:
- not to post any content or information on the Internet or to distribute it via this medium that violates legal provisions, competition law, the personal rights and/or intellectual property rights of third parties or common decency,
- not to unreasonably harass other users (particularly through spam) (see Section 7 of the Act Against Unfair Competition UWG),
- not to distribute or publicly reproduce the content of online presences or online networks or of other users,
- to take into account recognized principles of data security and to follow them (e.g. keeping access codes and passwords secret and protecting them from use by unauthorized third parties),
- to appropriately inform all persons who are enabled to use Wegweiser's services about compliance with these obligations and
- to ensure the fulfillment of legal regulations and official requirements, insofar as these are currently or future relevant for the implementation of the contractual relationship. In the event of a culpable breach of the above obligation, the user is obliged to compensate the guide for any damage resulting from the breach of duty. The user also releases Wegweiser from all third-party claims that are based on such a culpable breach of duty. Other claims and rights, in particular to block content through signposts and/or extraordinary termination, remain unaffected.
§ 52 If there are specific indications that a user violates legal provisions, third-party rights, or these general terms and conditions, Wegweiser may take the following measures:
- deletion of provided information or other content;
- restriction of use of online services;
- temporary blockage of company or user profiles;
- permanent blockage of company or user profiles.
When choosing a measure, Wegweiser considers the legitimate interests of the affected user, especially whether there are indications that he is not responsible for the violation.
§ 53 Wegweiser offers users of online networks the opportunity to connect with other users and provides only technical applications that enable general contact among users. If users conclude contracts or make other legally relevant declarations via online networks, Wegweiser is not involved and therefore not a contracting party. Users are responsible for handling and fulfilling contracts concluded among themselves. Wegweiser is not liable if no contact between users arises in connection with such a contract or legally relevant declaration via online networks. Furthermore, Wegweiser is not liable for breaches of duty by users arising from contracts concluded among themselves.
§ 54 By posting his contribution in one of the online presences or networks, the user grants Wegweiser an unlimited, irrevocable, and transferable right to use the respective contribution which entitles Wegweiser to exploit it in any way, especially for permanently providing the contribution in the corresponding forum within the online presence or network as well as on cooperation partners' pages and for other marketing purposes of the forum. With this, Wegweiser has usage rights to all contributions to discussion forums operated by Wegweiser. Reproduction or use of contributions or their content in other electronic or printed publications without explicit written consent from Wegweiser is not permitted. Copying, downloading, distributing and disseminating contents from Wegweiser or third parties is not permitted without explicit written consent from Wegweiser except caching during visiting forum pages.
§ 55 If Wegweiser is claimed by a third party for an alleged infringement of rights in the content provided by the contracting partner or user, Wegweiser may submit to the claim if the user does not prove within the deadline set by the third party that the alleged infringement does not exist or agrees to bear all costs of defense and possible damages claims of the third party. If Wegweiser rightfully submits to the claim of the third party, the user assumes all resulting costs and damages claims.
§ 56 Wegweiser provides its services based on the current state of the Internet and the technical, legal, and commercial framework for Internet use. Wegweiser is not obligated to expand usage options according to technical developments, especially at unchanged fees. Wegweiser ensures accessibility of its internet web servers without guaranteeing permanent availability. This excludes times when the web server is not accessible via the internet due to technical or other problems beyond Wegweiser's control (e.g., force majeure, third-party fault). Furthermore, uninterrupted data availability cannot be guaranteed if technical work (e.g., maintenance) must be carried out within a reasonable scope for users.
§ 57 Wegweiser will promptly rectify access disruptions or technical issues within existing technical and operational capabilities. If access disruptions are recognizable to the user, he must immediately report such disruptions to Wegweiser in writing or (if possible) by email (fault report). If performance of contractual services is otherwise disrupted due to circumstances within Wegweiser's responsibility, the user must immediately notify Wegweiser in written form upon recognition.
§ 58 Wegweiser guarantees network availability within its own influence and responsibility according to § 44 and § 45; however, it cannot guarantee permanent availability. It is also known that software errors cannot be completely ruled out despite utmost care and adherence to generally accepted programming rules. If errors are recognizable to the user, they must be reported immediately, but no later than within two weeks. If a user is entitled to warranty claims, he can initially demand rectification from Wegweiser only. If initial rectification fails, Wegweiser is entitled to further rectification attempts as long as they are not unreasonable for the user.
§ 59 Wegweiser cannot assume liability for correct functioning of internet infrastructures and transmission paths or information transmitted thereby (neither for their completeness, correctness or timeliness nor for being free from third-party rights), unless these fall within Wegweiser's responsibility. Furthermore, Wegweiser is not liable for usage failures caused by third parties outside its responsibility.
§ 60 The user is also informed that Wegweiser has no influence on internet transmission speed or content/information offered therein and therefore cannot be held responsible for them. In particular, Wegweiser is not obliged to check whether content/information on the user's internet presence or transmitted by him violates any laws. Wegweiser assumes no responsibility for accuracy of content published in online presences or networks, their legality, appropriateness or compliance with copyright regulations related to content published on respective websites. Claims for damages due to editorial, grammatical or programming errors as well as omitted entries are excluded. Liability for damages due to intent or gross negligence according to § 4 remains unaffected.
§ 61 Any misuse, whether knowingly or unknowingly, of all data from Wegweiser is strictly prohibited. Misuse includes in particular violations of the obligations mentioned in § 51. The user can also be held liable for damages caused to Wegweiser by the infringement of copyrights or other intellectual property rights. Therefore, the user indemnifies Wegweiser from any claims arising from such unlawful actions by third parties. Other claims, especially regarding content blocking by Wegweiser and/or extraordinary termination, remain unaffected.
§ 62 In the event of a breach of the aforementioned obligations by the user, especially if there is reasonable suspicion of unlawful content within the user's responsibility, Wegweiser is entitled to temporarily interrupt internet access (block). This applies particularly in case of a warning by the allegedly injured party, unless it is obviously unfounded, or in case of investigations by government authorities. The block is to be limited as much as possible to the allegedly infringing content. The user will be promptly notified of the block with reasons stated and requested to remove the unlawful content if he cannot demonstrate and possibly prove its lawfulness. Claims by the user against Wegweiser for such blocking or removal of content are excluded.
G Data Protection
§ 63 The user is hereby informed that Wegweiser stores and processes his complete address and all information necessary for billing and operation of the online system in machine-readable form. The data will not be disclosed to third parties without explicit consent from the user. Details regarding processing of user data are outlined in Wegweiser's data protection provisions.
