§ 9 Claims arising from intellectual property rights

secureIT.icu respects the intellectual property rights of third parties. If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been used in a way that gives rise to concern about an infringement, please follow our procedure for notifying info@secureIT.icu of an infringement.

§ 10 Liability

1. We always endeavour to ensure that the services of secureIT.icu are available without interruption and that transmissions are error-free. However, due to the nature of the internet, this cannot be guaranteed. Your access to the services of secureIT.icu may also occasionally be interrupted or restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities. We try to limit the frequency and duration of any such temporary interruptions or restrictions.
2. secureIT.icu is liable without limitation insofar as the cause of the damage is based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by secureIT.icu or by a legal representative or vicarious agent of secureIT.icu.
3. Furthermore, secureIT.icu is liable for the slightly negligent breach of essential obligations. Essential obligations are those whose breach jeopardises the achievement of the purpose of the contract, or whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you regularly rely. In this case, however, secureIT.icu is only liable for the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. secureIT.icu is not liable for the slightly negligent breach of obligations other than those mentioned in the preceding sentences.
4. The above limitations of liability do not apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health, for a defect after a guarantee has been given for the quality of the product, and in the case of fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the Produkthaftungsgesetz (German Product Liability Act) remains unaffected.
5. Insofar as the liability of secureIT.icu is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents.

2. Should personal data be collected, we undertake to obtain the prior consent of the user of the Website. We undertake not to pass on any data to third parties unless the visitor or user consents in advance.
3. We point out that the transmission of data over the internet (e.g. by e-mail) may have security gaps. Accordingly, error-free and fault-free protection of third-party data cannot be fully guaranteed. Our liability in this respect is excluded.
4. Third parties are not entitled to use contact details for commercial activities.
5. The user has the right to information. You have the right at any time to obtain complete information from us, free of charge, about the data stored concerning you.

§ 13 Cookies

1. In order to display the product range, we may use cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of the site visitor’s internet browser.
2. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string by means of which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
3. Through the use of cookies, more user-friendly services can be provided to the users of this website that would not be possible without setting cookies.
4. We point out that some of these cookies are transferred from our server to your computer system, these mostly being so-called session cookies. Session cookies are characterised by the fact that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session. Other cookies remain on your computer system and enable us to recognise your computer system on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies).
5. You can object to the storage of cookies. We use only technically necessary cookies (session, CSRF protection). Tracking or advertising cookies are not used.
6. You can, of course, configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on the hard drive or cookies already stored are deleted. Instructions on preventing and deleting cookies can be found in the help function of your browser or from the software manufacturer.
