To the privacy policy

CESARights makes every effort to provide users with correct and up-to-date information on its website. However, any liability by CESARights for mistakes on the website is excluded. The use of the CESARights website and the information and services provided there is at the user's own risk. The user acknowledges that there may be delays, incomplete loading, display of incorrect information or other technical problems when accessing the website and the information provided here. CESARights does not guarantee constant and uninterrupted availability. Nor does CESARights guarantee that no harmful components, such as viruses, can be found on the CESARights website. CESARights accepts no liability for damage to the user's computer system or the loss of data resulting from the use of the CESARights website.

CESARights' liability is also excluded in all other respects within the scope of the Terms of Use in accordance with § 2 above.

The liability regulations of this § 7 also apply to the legal representative or vicarious agents of CESARights.

Excluded from the above exclusions of liability are all cases of intent and gross negligence as well as injury to life, limb and health. In the event of slight negligence, CESARights shall only be liable for claims pursuant to Section 311 German Civil Code (“BGB”) and if CESARights has breached a material (contractual) obligation (cardinal obligation). In the event of a breach of a material (contractual) obligation, CESARights shall only be liable for typical, foreseeable (contractual) damage. Essential (contractual) obligations (cardinal obligations) are those (contractual) obligations whose fulfilment is essential for the proper execution or handling of the contractual obligation and on whose compliance the user regularly relies and may also rely. Typical, foreseeable damages are those that fall under the protective purpose of the respective breached contractual standard.

Should individual provisions of these Terms of Use be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity and legal effect of the remaining Terms of Use. Invalid provisions shall be replaced by the statutory provisions, where applicable.

These Terms of Use and the legal relationships governed by them are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany.

If the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes relating to or in connection with the use of the CESARights website and the services offered there as well as the Terms of Use is Munich. The same applies if the user does not have a general place of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany or abandons this. Mandatory statutory provisions on exclusive places of jurisdiction remain unaffected by the above provisions.
