VII. Disclaimer and responsibility for information
-
REFU Elektronik does not accept any liability for the availability of the free REFUdesign
service or the accuracy, completeness, up-to-date nature, quality or usability for
the purposes intended by you as a user of the data presented in the REFUdesign service.
The data used by the REFUdesign service will be updated at regular intervals. Despite
this, deviations from the latest module data may still arise as these products are
continually modified by their manufacturers. In particular in view of this being
a free service, we are unable to accept any liability for the up-to-date nature
and accuracy of the data used by REFUdesign. We there recommend that you check the
data provided for the modules against the manufacturer’s data. Please inform us
of any deviations you find so that we can continually improve this service.
-
We furthermore accept no liability for any solar radiation data incorporated
into the service. Where available, this shall solely act as basic information for
our customers. In providing this data, we rely on the information offered by other
service providers. Before making an investment, we recommend that our customers
check the solar radiation themselves.
-
If the REFUdesign service links to other providers’ websites (e.g. in relation
to weather data), we hereby expressly distance ourselves from the content provided
by the respective service provider. We have no influence over the current website
content and design of other service providers. The responsibility for the content
of linked websites lies solely with the operator of the respective site, who also
holds sole liability for this content.
-
If users of the REFUdesign service publish their own data within the scope of
the service, said users shall be solely responsible for this data. If we become
aware that a REFUdesign user has infringed upon the rights of a third party by publishing
the data, we shall take steps to delete the disputed data to the extent permitted
by law.
-
Although REFU Elektronik obviously constantly endeavours to avoid errors, as a user you
acknowledge that completely error-free information technology products, in particular
computer programs, are not possible.
-
REFUdesign solely acts as an initial source of information for REFU Elektronik customers
for planning purposes and is not suitable for invoicing purposes, for providing
evidence as a comparison against other network operators or for other uses that
require precise, reliable, quality-approved or up-to-date data.
VIII. Liability
-
REFU Elektronik shall be liable in accordance with legal regulations if a user makes
claims for damages on the basis of wilful intent or gross negligence, including
wilful intent or gross negligence by legal or other representatives, employees or
agents of REFU Elektronik.
-
REFU Elektronik shall furthermore be liable in accordance with legal regulations if REFU Elektronik
or its legal or other representatives, employees or agents culpably breach a major
contractual obligation (cardinal obligation). In this case, however, the liability
for damages shall be limited to the foreseeable damages which typically occur.
-
The liability on the grounds of culpable loss of life, personal injury or damage
to health caused by the legal or other representatives, employees or agents of REFU Elektronik
shall remain unaffected; this shall also apply to the liability mandated by the
German Product Liability Act and in the event of any infringement of guarantees
provided by REFU Elektronik.
- Unless otherwise specified above, REFU Elektronik’s liability is excluded.
