• RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE USER 

1. 1. The User is obligated, when browsing the Website and any part of the Content, to act in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of the Provider, other Users, and/or third parties.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is stated that the Provider is not responsible for any User opinion displayed through the Website.

In the event that the notifier is the legal representative of such a person, the Provider always requires the submission of a power of attorney authorizing their legal representation of that person.
3. The User is specifically prohibited from:

1. modifying, altering, interfering with the Website, its Content, or the Services in an unauthorized manner contrary to granted access permissions; creating copies and/or extracting copies of the Content or Services; and utilizing them for any commercial or non-commercial purposes without the specific demonstrable permission of the Provider;

• RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PROVIDER 

1. 1. The Provider has the right at any time to remove, change, add to, or adjust any Content and/or part of the Content published on the Website, regardless of whether it was added directly by the Provider. This does not affect the fulfillment of individually agreed rights and obligations between the Provider and a third party whose content is published on the Website based on a separate agreement with the Provider.
   2. The Provider may freely change, add to, and improve the features and content of the Website as they see fit.
   3. The Provider displays its own advertisements or advertisements of third parties, and the Provider has the right to change or increase the amount of advertising at any time at their own discretion. If the User gives their consent, the Provider is also entitled to customize advertising based on the User’s preferences.
   4. The Provider may include links on the Website to third-party websites and electronic files, but the Provider is not legally responsible for the content of these external sites or files. If a third party needs to process data when the User interacts with such a link, the Provider may inform the User about this through its own Privacy Policy available on the Website, which may also refer to the privacy policies of those third parties governing such processing.
   5. The Provider will not remove or restrict access to any information or content on the Website based on a User’s request or suggestion if, in the Provider’s legal opinion, the disputed content is not unlawful and keeping it available is necessary in a democratic society for freedom of expression and the dissemination of information. This does not apply if the unlawfulness of the content is established by a valid final decision of the relevant administrative authority or court, or if the User obtains a preliminary injunction, or if the Provider freely decides otherwise after considering the specific factual and legal circumstances of the case.
   6. Nothing in these Terms of Use prevents the Provider from limiting the availability and/or functionality of the Website for any length of time. This does not affect the contractual rights and claims of the Provider’s business partners.
   7. If the Provider is notified of unlawful Content or otherwise becomes aware of facts objectively indicating the unlawfulness of Content located on the Website and/or any part thereof, the Provider is obligated to act promptly and remove or disable access to information related to the identified unlawful situation. This obligation applies if, in the Provider’s opinion, unlawful conduct is occurring or could occur in connection with the information included in the Content.

• LIABILITY FOR THE WEBSITE

1. 1. The Provider shall not be held liable for the information that is transmitted between the Website and the User’s device. This is because the User initiates the transfer of this information by their own actions. The Provider does not select the Users, nor does it select or modify the information that is being transmitted (this is called “mere conduit”).
   2. The Provider shall not be held liable for information that the User provides and stores on the Website at their request, if the Provider does not have actual knowledge of the unlawful nature of the stored information or the User’s unlawful conduct, and upon becoming aware, acts without undue delay to remove the information or block access to it (this is called “hosting”).
   3. The Provider shall not be held liable for the automatic, temporary storage of information in the memory of the electronic device used for searching information (like a browser or computer). This temporary storage occurs solely to make the transfer of information more efficient for future requests from other users (this is called “caching”).
   4. The Provider shall not be held liable for any failures or errors of the Website, its Content, and/or Services. This does not apply if there is a separate agreement with a business partner of the Provider that stipulates otherwise.
   5. The Provider shall not be liable for any direct or indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, losses, and expenses that arise from connecting to and using the Website. The Provider shall also not be liable for damages caused by the Website being partly or completely unavailable, the inability to use it, or due to any malfunction, error, omission, interruption, delay in operation or transmission, cyber-attack, or other failure, except as may be expressly agreed otherwise in a separate agreement with a business partner of the Provider.
   6. The Provider provides the Website on an “as is” basis, without any warranties or additional representations of any kind.
   7. The Provider shall not be liable for any interactions, communication, or potential legal relationships that arise between Users as a result of using the Website, its Content, and/or Services, including any harmful consequences thereof on the rights and freedoms of the involved Users or other persons.
   8. The Provider shall not be liable for any damages that may arise in connection with the compromise of the access password to the Website, its Content, or within the Services and/or any part thereof due to reasons attributable to the User (e.g., disclosure of the password to a third party, failure to maintain a reasonable level of caution, User actions in response to phishing attempts, etc.).
   9. The Provider is not responsible for and does not guarantee the obligations of third parties whose offers are presented on the Website in the form of advertisements, classified ads, PR articles, or otherwise. The Provider is not liable for the truthfulness, content, and form of external websites that are accessible through the Website. The Provider does not investigate, verify, or monitor the content of such external websites. The Provider is not and will not become a party to any legal relationships that the User establishes with such third parties.
   10. The User shall be liable for any damages caused by a breach of these Terms of Use. If the User causes damage to a third party through a breach of these Terms of Use, by using the Website, or by utilizing the Content and/or Services, the User is obligated to compensate the third party upon demand, without any liability on the part of the Provider.
