The operator is a natural or legal person based in Germany.

2. Access and Usage

Use of the Service is permitted to anyone, provided that it is done responsibly, lawfully, and in accordance with these Terms of Use. The use of the Service is subject in particular to the provisions of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Civil Code (BGB), and other relevant German and European laws. Any misuse, especially use that may overload the system or impair its functionality, is prohibited.

3. No Warranty under Section 675 (2) BGB

This Service is provided as a voluntary, free additional service. There is no entitlement to any specific availability or functionality. Any warranty pursuant to Section 675 (2) BGB is expressly excluded. The operator does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the results provided.

4. Acceptable Use

Users agree in particular:

  • not to use the Service for unlawful or harmful purposes,

In the event of suspected misuse, we reserve the right under Section 100 (1) of the German Telecommunications Act (TKG) to block specific IP addresses or user groups temporarily or permanently, and to share relevant information with competent authorities for abuse prevention.

5. Limitation of Liability under Section 7 (2) TMG

The operator shall be liable in accordance with statutory provisions, but only in cases of intent or gross negligence. In cases of slight negligence, liability only applies if essential contractual obligations (so-called cardinal obligations) are violated. In such cases, liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage. Any further liability is excluded. The provisions of the German Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG) remain unaffected.

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the use of this Service shall be, to the extent legally permissible, the registered office of the operator.

9. Severability Clause
