Liability for slight negligence is excluded, except for damages to life and limb.

(2) The Parties agree that besides direct contractual services performed by SimpliFlow, provision of Products (from the Product Portfolio) as well as distribution of the Flow-Tag may also be executed by independent third party distributors/agents (e.g. teams, trainer, associations, web-designers, network operators, distributors etc) not deemed vicarious agents and/or independent contractors within the meaning of §§ 1313a or 1315 of the Austrian Civil Code and upon which SimpliFlow is unable to exercise direct control. Liability vis-à-vis Members/Counterparties for losses resulting from actions of independent personnel as described above is explicitly excluded; irrespective whether such losses arise with or without fault.

(3) SimpliFlow shall bear no liability for losses attributable to improper or contractually non– compliant use of the platform “FLOW”, single Products or the Member Account/User-Interface. SimpliFlow shall likewise bear no liability for the individual success of a Member applying its Products or in case of bodily injuries or other physical or psychic harm as a result from the use of its Products. No claims shall be raised against SimpliFlow for any interventions in the sphere of a Members’ rights by third parties.

(4) Providing services hereunder and granting access to the platform “FLOW” SimpliFlow acts as “Application Service Provider”. The operation, hosting, security and further development of the (User) data located in its Member Account/User-Interface shall remain in that Member’s sole sphere of responsibility. Accordingly, the Member shall bear sole liability for all such content (the Designs) as it has made available via the platform “FLOW”. Any losses and/or disadvantages of the Member as a result of the illegality/infringement of competition law by such content shall be exclusively for that Member’s account.

(5) The Counterparties are aware of the fact that the content uploaded to the platform “FLOW” may constitute legally protected Intellectual Property. Against this background, Counterparties are not permitted to upload content to the platform “FLOW” the use of which infringes Intellectual Property rights of third parties (irrespective of the type thereof) and which is apt to give rise to criminal or civil prosecution.

(6) SimpliFlow is unable to generally rule out the possibility that Members registering and/or communicating on the platform “FLOW” do not in fact exist or that they are making improper use of the platform for illegal or immoral actions. Counterparties using the platform “FLOW” and who may upload/download content to or from the Platform are thus deemed to act at their own risk.

(7) SimpliFlow shall not assume any liability whatsoever for unauthorised duplication or use of the graphics, texts, brands and trademarks the rights to which are protected by third parties. In addition, liability of SimpliFlow in connection with the website www.simpliflow.com shall, in each case be limited to its own content. In the absence of relevant controls on the websites of other (sector-specific) businesses, SimpliFlow shall likewise be deemed to have no liability where it makes a corresponding reference (link) from its own website to that of another provider.

(8) Events of force majeure which render the provision of the contractual services significantly more difficult or impossible shall entitle SimpliFlow to defer its performance of the contractual obligations by a period of time equal to the period of the impediment plus a reasonable preparation period. The following events are the equivalent of force majeure: strikes, lock-outs, interventions of public authorities for which SimpliFlow bears no responsibility, and similar circumstances, provided that they are unforeseeable, not susceptible, controllable and not due to default. In such cases, SimpliFlow shall likewise bear no liability.

(4) Network outages, disruptions, maintenance work or other events which are unavoidable and for which SimpliFlow bears no responsibility may give rise to interruptions of service.
