Conditions for protection of information and Non-warranty

der Rock Shop GmbH Stand: August 2004

Exemption from Liability

1. Contents of Online Offers

Rock Shop GmbH can neither give a guarantee regarding the quality of any information provided, nor can it guarantee that it is correct, complete and up-to-date. Any liability claims submitted against Rock Shop GmbH, which refer to damage of a material or non-material kind, caused by the use or non-use of the information offered or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are completely exempted, insofar as neither gross negligence nor negligence with malice aforethought on the part of Rock Shop GmbH can be proved. All offers are subject to alteration without notice and are not binding. Rock Shop GmbH expressly reserves the right to change parts of pages or the whole range offered without special notice, to make any additions or deletions or to stop publication for a certain time or permanently.



2. References and Links

With regard to direct or indirect references to other websites ("Hyperlinks"), which are outside the area of responsibility of Rock Shop GmbH, a liability obligation would become effective, only if Rock Shop GmbH had any knowledge of the contents and it would be technically reasonable and possible for them to prevent the use in the case of any unlawful contents. Herewith Rock Shop GmbH states expressly, that no illegal contents of the sites/pages to be linked could be determined at the time of setting up the links. Rock Shop GmbH has no influence whatsoever on the present and future design, contents or authorship of linked/connected sites. For this reason they state that they in no way wish to be party to any contents of any linked/connected site/page, which has been altered after setting up the links. This statement applies to all links and references within the internet offers made by Rock Shop GmbH, as well as to any external entries in the visitors’ books, discussion forums, link directories and mailing lists set up by Rock Shop GmbH and in all other forms of data banks, in which it is possible to make external entries in the contents. Solely the party, who offers the site/page is liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents, in particular for any damage incurred from the use or non-use of the type of information presented, and who was referred to, not the party which simply refers to the relevant publication via links.



3. Copyright and Trade Mark Rights

In all publications, Rock Shop GmbH makes every endeavour to observe the copyright of any graphics, tape recordings, video sequences and texts used, to use self-produced graphics, tape recordings, video sequences and texts, or to make use of royalty-free graphics, tape recordings, video sequences and texts. All brands and trade marks, which, if necessary, have been registered by a third party, named within the internet offers, are entirely subject to the regulations of the relevant and valid trade mark rights and the rights of possession of the relevant registered owner. It cannot be assumed that brands have not been registered by a third party, merely due to their being named! The copyright for objects published and produced by Rock Shop GmbH applies solely to Rock Shop GmbH. Any duplication or use of such graphics, tape recordings, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is only permitted with the express consent of Rock Shop GmbH.



4. Data Protection

Rock Shop GmbH feels that is of great importance to protect the privacy and personal data of their customers. For this reason, when using the personal data of their customers, Rock Shop GmbH, of course, observes the relevant data protection laws. Insofar as it is possible to enter personal or business data within the internet offers (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), the divulgence of this data on the part of the user takes place expressly on a voluntary basis. The data are used and stored solely by Rock Shop GmbH to conduct business, in particular for the special contractual relation. The data are treated confidentially. No data are passed on to a third party. All customer data to be passed on are transmitted and coded in SSL format for security reasons. It is not permitted for third parties to use contact data published within the imprint or similar information, such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers or e-mail addresses for the dispatch of information, which has not been specifically requested. The right is expressly reserved to take legal action against senders of so-called spam mail or of unsolicited advertising by fax or telephone, if this interdiction is violated.
