Preamble

By registering as a User of Automated Entries you agree to the following terms and conditions for the use of Automated Entries (hereinafter referred to as the "Terms and Conditions").

Automated Entries operates the services of Automated Entries under different top-level domains (AutomatedEntries.co.uk, etc.) as well as various sub-domains and aliases of these domains. All websites on which Automated Entries makes available the services of Automated Entries are referred to in common hereinafter as the "Automated Entries websites". These Terms and Conditions govern the contractual relationship between the User and Automated Entries, irrespective of which of the Automated Entries sites the User registers with or logs into.

The User concludes the contract for the use of the services of Automated Entries with Automated Entries Ltd. All other current mandatory information and other information of Automated Entries Ltd are as stated in the legal notice and the privacy policy on the website of Automated Entries.

The services provided by Automated Entries are intended exclusively for persons of full age and for companies.

The User can view, download and/or print these Terms and Conditions at any time, even after conclusion of the contract, under the link to "Terms and Conditions" that appears on each of the Automated Entries websites.

1.2. Any use of the services and content offered on the Automated Entries websites, with the exception of options provided by Automated Entries, requires the prior written consent of Automated Entries.

1.3. Automated Entries provides Users with access to the data and / or information provided by other Users only to the extent that such data and / or information does not violate legal regulations, third party rights or these Terms and Conditions. Automated Entries is entitled to remove any illegal content from the Automated Entries websites without notice and without giving reasons.

1.4. The User acknowledges that a 100% availability of the Automated Entries websites is technically impossible to achieve. However, Automated Entries strives to keep the Automated Entries websites available as much as possible. Automated Entries cannot exclude that temporary service disturbances may result from taking necessary measures for maintenance or for reasons of safety or unforeseen capacity bottlenecks. Also, the User acknowledges that cases of force majeure or other events which are beyond the control of Automated Entries (e.g. disruptions in public communication networks, power failures etc.) may result in brief malfunctions or temporary interruptions of the services on the Automated Entries websites.

1.5. Automated Entries merely offers the User a platform through which to network with other Users, and only provides such technical applications as are required to allow Users to contact each other. Automated Entries does not participate in the content of the communication between Users. To the extent Users enter into contracts with one another over the Automated Entries websites contracts, Automated Entries is deemed not to be involved in such arrangements and therefore is not a party. Users are themselves solely responsible for the execution and fulfillment of contracts concluded among themselves. Automated Entries shall not be held liable in the event that, in connection with such a contract made over the Automated Entries websites, there is no contact between users due to temporary disruptions or in the event that messages between users via chat tools hosted by Automated Entries are received only after an unusual delay. Automated Entries shall also not be liable for breaches of terms by Users under contracts between the Users.

2.6. Each User may register only once and create only one user profile.

2.7. Automated Entries can not determine with certainty whether the Automated Entries websites registered User is actually the person who claims to be the User.

8. Liability Limitation of Automated Entries

Claims for damages - regardless of the legal grounds - against Automated Entries, or due to the ordinary negligence of its institutions or its agents, may be brought only if an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) has been violated.

9. Exemption

9.1. The User shall hold harmless Automated Entries from all claims, including claims for damages, asserted by other users or third parties against Automated Entries due to a violation of their rights by the contents posted by the User on Automated Entries websites. The User shall hold harmless Automated Entries from all claims, including claims for damages, asserted by other users or third parties against Automated Entries due to the infringement of their rights by the use of the services of the Automated Entries websites by the User. The User assumes all liability for all reasonable costs that may be incurred by Automated Entries due to an infringement, including costs of legal defense. All other rights, including damage claims by Automated Entries, remain unaffected. The User has the right to prove that Automated Entries actually incurred lower costs. The foregoing obligations of the User shall not apply if the User is not responsible for the infringement.

9.2. If third-party rights are violated by the contents of the User, the User of Automated Entries will at the option of Automated Entries acquire the right to use said contents or render said contents free of third party rights at his own expense.

10. Privacy Policy

Automated Entries takes very seriously the protection of all personal data transmitted by the User to Automated Entries, and guarantees to ensure compliance with all German data protection and compliance requirements in accordance with the local regulations.

Automated Entries will alert the User of his rights in the notification and of the importance of the period in which opposition can be stated.

11.2. Automated Entries reserves the right to increase the cost of fee-based services not more than once per calendar year with effect from the start of a new extension period, following the minimum period of use or the then current renewal period as appropriate.

If the User does not agree to this pay increase, he may contest the change within four (4) weeks by contact form, letter, fax or email. Contesting the change is equivalent to a termination of fee-based services by the User, so that the membership at the end of the existing minimum period of use will be converted into a free user account.

11.3. Unless otherwise agreed, the User may submit all notices to Automated Entries by e-mail with contact form available on any of the Automated Entries or transmit them by fax or letter to the Automated Entries. Automated Entries can send notices to the User by e-mail or by fax or post to the addresses that the User has specified as the current contact data in his or her user account.
