Legal Aspects of the arvato systems GmbH Website

  1. Online Content
    The content of the pages has been composed with extraordinary diligence. The author assumes no liability whatsoever for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. The author shall be held harmless for any and all liability claims against the author for material or intangible damage arising from the use or non-use of the information provided, or from the use of defective and incomplete information unless the author's intentional or grossly negligent fault is proven.

    All content is subject to change without notice and is non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to modify, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire content without prior advance notice, or to suspend or terminate publication.

  2. Referrals and Links
    With respect to direct or indirect referrals to third-party Internet pages ("links") outside the author's area of responsibility, liability would come into force only if the author were aware of the content and if he/she were reasonably and technically able to prevent the use of illegal content.

    The author therefore expressly declares that the respective linked pages were free from illegal content at the time the links were placed.

    The author has no influence whatsoever on the current or future design or on the content of the linked/connected pages. Therefore, the author shall be exculpated from any damages arising from the content of any linked/connected pages that have been modified since the link has been placed. This applies to any links and referrals placed within the company's Internet content as well as to postings or messages to guestbooks, discussion boards and mailing lists set up by the author.

    Solely the provider of the page linked to shall be liable for illegal, defective or incomplete content and particularly for damage arising from the use or non-use of such information; the provider of the page merely linking to the respective publication shall not be held liable for any such damage.

  3. Copyright and Trademark Law
    The author endeavors to respect the copyright of any graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use self-created graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts, or to make use of royalty-free graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts.

    Any brands and trademarks named in the Internet content that may be protected by third-party rights are fully subject to the provisions of the currently applicable trademark law and the possessory rights of the respective registered owner. The simple mention shall not be interpreted as such that brands are not protected by third-party rights!

    The author retains the copyright for any published objects that have been created by the author. The duplication or use of such graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts in other electronic or print publications is not permitted without the author's express approval.

  4. Legal Validity of this Disclaimer
    This disclaimer shall be regarded as part of the Internet publication from which you were referred. If any sections or individual formulations of this text do not or no longer correspond to current law, either in part or completely, the content and validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

  5. Applicable Law
    The legal aspects of this website as well as all disputes relating to it shall be governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany.
