By submitting a copyright infringement notice, you acknowledge and agree that THORTEC or its copyright agent may forward the information you provide in this notice to the person who uploaded the allegedly infringing material.
You may write to THORTEC’s designated agent for notice of copyright infringement at:
THORTEC Software GmbH, Amselweg 1, 71394 Kernen im Remstal, Germany
By submitting a copyright infringement notice, you acknowledge and agree that THORTEC or its copyright agent may forward the information you provide in this notice to the person who uploaded the allegedly infringing material. THORTEC will remove any content that allegedly infringes upon the copyright of any person under the laws of Germany upon receipt of such a statement. German law provides significant penalties for submitting such a statement falsely.
If you believe that your removed or disabled User Content is not infringing, or that you have the authorization or right to post and use that User Content from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to law, you may send a counter-notice containing the required information. THORTEC or its copyright agent will forward your counter-notification to the party who submitted the original copyright infringement claim. If the original claimant does not file an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the removed or disabled User Content within ten (10) business days of receiving the counter-notice from THORTEC, then THORTEC may, in its sole discretion, reinstate the removed or disabled material. Please note that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS." THORTEC MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER RELATING TO THE SERVICE, LINKED SITES, OR OTHER CONTENT THAT MAY BE ACCESSIBLE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH THE SERVICE. THORTEC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND WARRANTIES AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. FURTHER, THERE IS NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS OR REQUIREMENTS OR THE NEEDS OR REQUIREMENTS OF ANY OTHER PERSON.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THORTEC MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED: (A) THAT THE INFORMATION, DIAGRAMS, CHARTS, DATA AND OTHER CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, AND COMPLETE AND FREE FROM ERRORS, OMISSIONS, DEFECTS, OR DELAYS IN OPERATION; (B) THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; (C) THAT DEFECTS OR ERRORS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED; OR (D) THAT THE CONTENT ON THE SERVICE IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
IN NO EVENT WILL THORTEC OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS, USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE CONTENT, SERVICE OR ANY LINKED SITES, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA OR USER CONTENT OR UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY ACCESS TO ANY DATA OR USER CONTENT, FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUS, OR LINE OR SYSTEM FAILURE. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ANOTHER USER IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU RELEASE THORTEC FROM ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH A DISPUTE. THE MAXIMUM TOTAL LIABILITY OF THORTEC, ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IS THE LESSER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY THORTEC FROM YOU DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) EUR100.
EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND THORTEC. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF THORTEC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF DAMAGES, THORTEC'S LIABILITY IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You will indemnify, defend and hold THORTEC and its licensors harmless (and our respective employees, directors, agents, affiliates and representatives) from and against any and all claims, costs, losses, damages, judgments, tax assessments, penalties, interest, and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim, action, audit, investigation, inquiry, or other proceeding instituted by a person or entity that arises out of or relates to: (i) your use of the Service or any activity on the Service via your account, (ii) your violation of any provision of these Terms including any of your covenants, warranties or representations hereunder, (iii) any User Content uploaded to Sankey Flow Show, or (iv) the collection, storage, or disclosure of personal or health data or disclosure of personal information or health data in violation of applicable law, or any failure to obtain consents or authorizations for such data required by applicable law. THORTEC reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You may not settle any matter without the prior written consent from THORTEC.
If you provide feedback to THORTEC regarding the Service or Content (“Feedback”), you authorize THORTEC to use that Feedback without restriction and without payment to you. Accordingly, you hereby grant to us a fully paid up, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully transferable and sublicensable license to use the Feedback in any manner and for any purpose.
The failure of THORTEC to enforce any provisions of these Terms or respond to a breach by you or other parties will not in any way waive THORTEC’s right to enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of these Terms or to act with respect to similar breaches.
THORTEC may provide you with notices by electronic mail, regular mail or postings on the Service. If notice is provided by electronic mail, notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after electronic mail is sent, unless THORTEC is notified that the electronic mail address is invalid. If notice is provided by posting through the Service, then notice will be deemed given upon such posting. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to a postal address, if provided by you through the Service. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing.
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
If you have no place of jurisdiction in Germany or in any other EU member state, if you have transferred your permanent domicile abroad after these Terms of Service take effect or if your domicile or usual place of residence is unknown at the time legal action is taken, the sole place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this agreement will be the location of our registered offices.
Should individual provisions of these Terms of Service be or become invalid and/or contrary to the statutory provisions, this will not affect the validity remaining Terms of Service. In place of the invalid, unenforceable term, the Parties shall mutually agree on such valid commercial terms which the Parties would reasonably have agreed otherwise. The above-mentioned provision will apply correspondingly in the case of omissions in these provisions.
We reserve the right to amend and adapt these Terms and Conditions with effect for the future. You can request the currently applicable version of the Terms of Service via support(at)sankeyflowshow.com or access them at www.sankeyflowshow.com/pages/terms.html. You will be notified by email no later than one month before new Terms and Confitions take effect. If you do not object to the validity of the new Terms of Service within one month after they take effect, you will be deemed to have accepted the new Terms of Service. We will inform you separately in suitable form about the significance of the one month's notice period, your right to object and the legal consequences of non-objection. This amendment mechanism does not apply to amendments to the parties' main contractual obligations.
