The Provider endeavours to offer the Service without interruption as far as possible.However, even with all due care, downtimes cannot be excluded, during which the web servers cannot be accessed via the Internet due to technical or other problems beyond the Provider’s control (fault of third parties, force majeure, attacks on the infrastructure by hackers, etc.).The user acknowledges that it is technically impossible to guarantee 100% availability of the website.
  6. The provider reserves the right to change and expand the content and structure of the platform as well as the associated user interfaces if this does not or only insignificantly affect the fulfillment of the purpose of the contract concluded with the user.

  • to engage in anti-competitive activities;
  • Publish third party press articles on the forum without the consent of the author;

As a user, you are obliged to support the provider in good faith in its legal defence against third parties by providing information and documents.
