GENERAL EQUAL TREATMENT ACT

Gender-neutral personal designations - For reasons of easier readability, no gender-specific differentiation has been made in personal designations (e.g. employees; workers). Insofar as only one of the two gender-specific variants is mentioned in the following text, this should always apply to both genders in the interests of equal treatment.


DATA PROTECTION

If there is the possibility of entering personal data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses) within our online offer, the disclosure of this data by the user is expressly voluntary and thus with your full consent. The use of our online offer is - as far as technically possible and reasonable - also possible without providing such data. Detailed information you can find in our privacy policy


COPYRIGHT

The Förderverein Segelflug e.V. reserves all rights to the structure, texts, images, graphics, sound files, animations and other formats used to design the Förderverein website. These elements are largely protected by copyright and other protective laws. Some of the elements used for the design are also subject to the copyrights of third parties. The reproduction of information or data, in particular the use of texts, parts of texts or images, requires the prior consent of Förderverein Segelflug e.V.. This does not apply to files that we expressly offer for download and publication on the website.


EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY AND LEGAL VALIDITY

All pages of this website have been created with the utmost care. Nevertheless, the Förderverein Segelflug e.V. cannot guarantee the correctness and accuracy of the information contained therein. The publisher of this website therefore accepts no liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are fundamentally excluded, unless there is evidence of wilful intent or gross negligence on the part of the publisher. All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The publisher of the website expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without prior notice or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.
This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the online offer from which reference was made to this page. If sections or individual terms of this statement are not legal or correct, the content or validity of the other parts remain uninfluenced by this fact.


WARNINGS, DISPUTE RESOLUTION, MEDIATION & GRIEVANCE MANAGEMENT

Should any content or the design of individual pages or parts of this online offer infringe the rights of third parties or statutory provisions or otherwise give rise to competition law problems in any form, we request, with reference to § 8 para. 4 UWG, an appropriate, sufficiently explanatory and prompt message without cost note.
We guarantee that the rightfully objected passages or parts on our websites will be removed within a reasonable period of time or adapted to the legal requirements without the need for you to seek legal assistance. The involvement of a lawyer to issue a warning, at the service provider's expense, does not correspond to the service provider's actual or presumed will and would therefore constitute a violation of Section 13 (5) UWG, due to the pursuit of irrelevant objectives as the dominant motive for initiating proceedings, in particular an intention to generate costs as the actual driving force, as well as a violation of the duty to minimize damages.

Online dispute resolution pursuant to Art. 14 para. 1 ODR-VO:

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR platform). You can access this at  https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not willing or obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Section 36 (1) No. 1 VSBG).

Mediation with commercial sellers

Please note that the mediation service providers listed here can only process requests to initiate mediation proceedings in the context of out-of-court dispute resolution and not general requests.
