2. Use of the BVB.de Services 

Principally, the use of the BVB.de Services is free of charge; however, users must have internet access and the necessary technical means and bear all hereby connected expenses. The BVB.de Services are for information purposes only. BVB makes an effort to provide current information at all times to the best of its knowledge. However, all information is provided without a guarantee for its current, correct, or complete nature. The BVB.de Services are not intended for persons in legal venues that forbid the publication or use of BVB.de Services on account of their citizenship, residence, or other reason. Persons to whom such a prohibition applies may not access BVB.de Services.

 

3. Copyright and Other Rights

The contents of BVB.de Services are protected by copyright and all rights are reserved. The rights to all pages, contents, and the design of BVB.de Services including any trademark, name, patent, authorship, license, and/or other rights are property of BVB and BVB has sole entitlement to them. In particular, it is forbidden to copy, change, dissect, create an adaptation of the contents of BVB.de Services or transmit, license, assign, or sell the rights to the contents in whole or in part or otherwise claim any other rights.

The data necessary for providing and processing BVB.de Services are saved and, in the scope necessary, forwarded to service providers commissioned with the technical execution by the offering party, which is in turn obligated to guard data protection.

5.  Warranty and Exclusion of Guarantee

All information in the BVB.de Service, including graphics, texts, and links or references to other websites and offers are made available as-is and can be changed at any time without notice. The information included in the BVB.de Services are provided without any express or tacit warranty and/or guarantee for the correct, exact, reliable or complete nature or the market-typical quality, suitability for a specific purpose, or the freedom from the rights of third parties. In particular, it is not warranted or guaranteed that the use of the BVB.de Services correspond to the expectations and/or requirements of the user(s), will not be interrupted, or occurs in a timely, secure, free-of-error manner, that errors in the operation or functionality are rectified and/or that BVB.de Services and/or the server(s) by means of which it is accessible are free of computer viruses and other damaging elements.

 

6. Liability

Claims of a user for damages against BVB are excluded. Excluded from this are claims for damages from injury to life, limb, or health or from the infringement of material contractual duties (cardinal duties) as well as liability for other damages that are based on intentional or grossly negligent infringements of duty of BVB, its legal representatives, or agents. Material contractual duties are those that must be fulfilled for the goal of the contract to be reached. In the event of the infringement of material contractual duties, BVB is only liable for the foreseeable damages typical of the contract if it was caused in a simply negligent manner unless it concerns claims for damages from an injury to life, limb, or health. Insofar as the liability of BVB is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of employees, staff, collaborators, representatives, and agents of BVB.

In particular, BVB is not liable for any breach of commercial copyrights and personality rights or other rights. The goods offered and/or services provided on third-party websites may be subject to additional conditions and may be subject to a charge. The user(s) is/are obligated to inform himself/themselves about the general terms and conditions, data protection provisions, and other terms of use before making use of the offers and services of third parties. Links and/or references to the websites of third parties are therefore only to be considered help and do not imply that BVB authorises the respective website or the goods and/or services offered or performed there or considers them correct.

 

8. Final Provisions

Any and all legal claims or suits in conjunction with use of the BVB.de website or the use of the BVB.de Services are subject to interpretation of the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the regulations of international private law. Should individual provisions of the terms of use above be invalid in part or in whole, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of use or parts of such provisions of use. The statutory provisions come into effect in the place of the invalid or missing provisions.
