§ 7 RISK NOTICE

The considerable opportunities are counterbalanced by corresponding risks, which may result not only in a total loss of the capital invested, but also in losses exceeding this amount. For this reason, this type of transaction requires in-depth knowledge of these financial products, the securities markets, securities trading techniques and strategies. Automatic trading involves a higher level of risk, as the number and size of orders are determined automatically.

The software has the agreed quality, is suitable for the contractually presupposed and usual use and has the quality usual for software of this type, but as usual it is not error-free. A functional impairment of the software resulting from hardware defects, environmental conditions, operating errors or similar is not a defect.
2. in the case of breach of fundamental contractual obligations, the provider is liable in the case of simple negligence only for the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, unless the defect was fraudulently concealed, a guarantee was given for the quality of the service or the customer’s claims are based on injury to life or body.

To carry out all seemingly necessary repairs and replacement deliveries, the customer has to give the necessary time and opportunity after consultation; otherwise the provider is released from liability for the consequences. The Provider may refuse to remedy the defect as long as the Customer has not yet paid the remuneration owed in full.
7. The supplier expressly accepts no liability for defects in the purchased goods in the event of unsuitable or improper use, incorrect assembly or incorrect commissioning by the customer, natural wear and tear, incorrect or negligent handling, improper maintenance and unsuitable operating materials.

10. To the extent permitted by law, no warranty is given for software and data. Programming errors (bugs) in the software are excluded from the warranty. We are only liable for further claims and rights in cases of intent and gross negligence. Otherwise, liability is excluded. Unless otherwise regulated above, the warranty is based on the statutory provisions.
11. The warranty does not cover defects caused by external influences or by non-compliance with the terms of use. The warranty shall not apply if the customer modifies the software himself or has it modified by third parties without the consent of the provider. If an alleged defect cannot be assigned to one of our warranty obligations after appropriate investigation, we are entitled to charge the usual hourly rate for the work performed and reimbursement of expenses. The same applies to the handling of a warranty case of the provider for the customer towards the manufacturer.
