below) harmless for activity related to the Application.
No Warranty
- The Service, including, without limitation, Wintor Content, is provided on an "as is", "as
available" and "with all faults" basis. To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither
Wintor nor any of its directors, employees, managers, officers, partners, affiliates or agents
(collectively, the "Wintor Parties") make any representations or warranties or endorsements of
any kind whatsoever, express or implied, as to: (a) the Service; (b) the Wintor Content; (c)
user content; or (d) security associated with the transmission of information to Wintor or via
the Service. In addition, the Wintor Parties hereby disclaim all warranties, express or
implied, including, but not limited to, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non-infringement, title, custom, trade, quiet enjoyment, system
integration and freedom from computer virus.
- The Wintor Parties do not represent or warrant that the Service will be error-free or
uninterrupted; that defects will be corrected; or that the Service or the server that makes
the Service available is free from any harmful components, including, without limitation,
viruses. The Wintor Parties do not make any representations or warranties that the information
(including any instructions) on the Service is accurate, complete, or useful.
- Although it is the intention of Wintor for the Service to be available as much as possible,
there will be occasions when the Service may be interrupted, including, without limitation,
for scheduled maintenance or upgrades, for emergency repairs, or due to failure of
telecommunications links and/or equipment.
- You acknowledge that your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Wintor Parties do not
warrant that your use of the Service is lawful in any particular jurisdiction, and the
WintorParties specifically disclaim such warranties. Some jurisdictions limit or do not allow
the disclaimer of implied or other warranties so the above disclaimer may not apply to you to
the extent such jurisdiction's law is applicable to you and these Terms.
- By accessing or using the Service you represent and warrant that your activities are lawful in
every jurisdiction where you access or use the Service.
- The Wintor Parties do not endorse Content and specifically disclaim any responsibility or
liability to any person or entity for any loss, damage (whether actual, consequential,
punitive or otherwise), injury, claim, liability or other cause of any kind or character based
upon or resulting from any content.
Limitation of Liability
- To the extent not prohibited by law, in no event shall the Wintor Parties be liable to you for
any loss or damages of any kind (including, without limitation, for any direct, indirect,
economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages) that
are directly or indirectly related to:
- the Service;
- the Wintor Content;
- user content;
- your use of, inability to use, or the performance of the Service;
- any action taken in connection with an investigation by the Wintor Parties or law
enforcement authorities regarding your or any other party's use of the Service;
- any action taken in connection with copyright or other intellectual property owners;
- any errors or omissions in the service's operation; or
- any damage to any user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment or technology
including, without limitation, damage from any security breach or from any virus, bugs,
tampering, fraud, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or
transmission, computer line or network failure or any other technical or other
malfunction, including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill,
loss of data, work stoppage, accuracy of results, or computer failure or malfunction, even
if foreseeable or even if the Wintor Parties have been advised of or should have known of
the possibility of such damages, whether in an action of contract, negligence, strict
liability or tort (including, without limitation, whether caused in whole or in part by
negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, or theft or destruction of the
service).
In no event will the Wintor Parties be liable to you or anyone else for loss, damage or
injury, including, without limitation, death or personal injury. Some jurisdictions do not
allow the limitation of liability for personal injury, or of incidental or consequential
damages, so this limitation may not apply to you. In no event will the Wintor Parties total
liability to you for all damages, losses or causes or action exceed the amount of € 1x the
annual Licence fee. The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails
of its essential purpose. - You agree that in the event you incur any damages, losses or injuries that arise out of acts
of Wintor or omissions, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient
to entitle you to an injunction preventing any exploitation of any website, service, property,
product or other content owned or controlled by the Wintor Parties, and you will have no
rights to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising,
exhibition or exploitation of any website, property, product, service, or other content owned
or controlled by the Wintor Parties.
- Wintor is not responsible for the actions, content, information, or data of third parties, and
you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages,
known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any
such third parties.
- You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with
Wintor must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is
permanently barred.
Indemnification
You agree to defend (at the request of Wintor), indemnify and hold the Wintor Parties harmless from
and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with any of the following (including
as a result of your direct activities on the Service or those conducted on your behalf):

- your breach or alleged breach of these Terms;
- your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any intellectual
property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right;

governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all
regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; or

to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you
will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of Wintor.
Partial Invalidity
If, at any time, any provision of these Terms is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any
respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of
any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.
No Waiver
Failure of Wintor to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will
not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed
a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.
Territorial Restrictions
- The information provided within the Service is not intended for distribution to or use by any
person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be
contrary to law or regulation or which would subject Wintor to any registration requirement
within such jurisdiction or country. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the
Service or any portion of the Service, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any
time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, program, product,

Changes

advance notice before the Updated Terms become effective. You agree that we may notify you of
the Updated Terms by posting them on the Service, and that your use of the Service after the

specify) constitutes your agreement to the Updated Terms. Therefore, you should review these

specified in the Updated Terms, and will apply to your use of the Service from that point

regard to your relationship with Wintor, shall be submitted exclusively to the competent court

initiate proceedings before any other court having jurisdiction. The application of the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
