LIABILITY EXCLUSION

1. Content of the online offering

Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG assumes no responsibility for the currency, correctness, completeness or quality of the provided information. Liability claims against Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG relating to material or non-material damages caused by using or failing to use the provided information and/or the use of faulty or incomplete information are fundamentally excluded as long as Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG is not demonstrably at fault through intent or gross negligence.

All offers are subject to confirmation and non-binding. Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG expressly reserves the right to modify, add to or delete parts of pages or the entire offering without separate notice, or to temporarily or permanently cease its publication.

2. References and links

For direct and indirect references to outside websites (“hyperlinks”) that fall outside the area of responsibility of Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG, a liability obligation would apply only if Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG is aware of the content and could technically and reasonably prevent its use in the event of illegal content.

Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG hereby expressly declares that no illegal content was recognisable on the linked pages at the time the link was created. Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG has no influence over the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked/associated pages. Therefore it hereby expressly distances itself from all content on all linked/associated pages that was changed after the link was created. This declaration applies to all links and references within its own website. In the case of illegal, faulty or incomplete content, and particularly in the event of damages that arise from using or failing to use such provided information, the liability rests solely with the provider of the linked page, not with the party that only indicates the content by way of a link.

3. Copyright and trademark rights

Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG is committed to observing copyrights for the graphics, audio files, video clips and texts that are used; wherever possible, it tries to use its own graphics, audio files, video clips and texts or to use public-domain graphics, audio files, video clips and texts.

All brands and trademarks mentioned on the website that are potentially protected by third parties are subject to the provisions of the respectively applicable trademark laws and the ownership rights of the respectively registered owners. Simply being mentioned does not mean that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights! The copyright for published objects and/or texts created by Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG remains solely with Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG. The reproduction or use of such graphics, audio files, video clips and texts in other electronic or print publications is not permitted without the express permission of Brüninghoff GmbH & Co. KG.

4. Data protection

Wherever the website offers an opportunity to enter personal or professional data (email addresses, names, mailing addresses), this data is provided by the user on an exclusively voluntary basis. All services offered – wherever technically possible and reasonable – can also be used or paid for without entering such data and/or by entering it anonymously or using a pseudonym. Third parties are not permitted to use contact information published in the Legal Notice or from a comparable source, such as mailing addresses, phone and fax numbers and email addresses, in order to send information that has not expressly been requested. The right to initiate legal action against the senders of spam messages who violate this prohibition is expressly reserved.

5. Validity of this liability exclusion

This liability exclusion is to be considered part of the website from which this page was accessed. If parts or individual phrases of this text do not correspond, no longer correspond or do not fully correspond to the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaffected in terms of their content and validity.
