Unauthorised uses of your user account are to be reported to the René Lezard Mode GmbH immediately. Your registration is linked to you per-sonally.

User behaviour

As user of the RENÉ LEZARD site you are obligated to observe the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. You are above all obligated to compliance with the valid legal provisions for the protection of minors. In particular, it is prohibited to send contents or make contents accessible via the RENÉ LEZARD site that are (i) libellous, defamatory, obscene, insulting, pornographic, glorifying violence or represent a violation of privacy; (ii) vio-late industrial protective rights or (iii) advertise products or services or solicit financial funds. User activities that aim to damage the RENÉ LEZARD site or at least to com-plicate its use are prohibited and can be pursued through civil action and criminal proceedings. The RENÉ LEZARD site (including its services) may not be used for any other unlawful purposes either. In particular, it is prohibited to register third parties without their knowledge and express consent for the newsletter service, or to register third parties for competitions on the RENÉ LEZARD site without their knowledge and express consent. Conditions of participation in competitions The RENÉ LEZARD sites can include the invitation to participate in competi-tions.

Liability

You are responsible for all of your activities on and in connection with the RENÉ LEZARD site. Legal guardians are liable for their children. RENÉ LEZARD endeavours to meticulously take care of and maintain the RENÉ LEZARD site. However, RENÉ LEZARD does not guarantee that the RENÉ LEZARD site is accessible or usable and virus-free at any time. Fur-thermore, RENÉ LEZARD does not advocate that the RENÉ LEZARD site is al-ways up to date and error-free. Delays, clerical errors but also incorrect in-formation can also appear. Accordingly, the René Lezard Mode GmbH particu-larly does not assume any responsibility for the topicality, accuracy, com-pleteness or quality of the website and the information provided there as well as for possible misuse of information. This also applies to unauthorised ac-cess to user accounts and especially to the unauthorised access to personal user data by third parties. In view of the restricted possibility to utilise materials also and especially by registered users, the René Lezard Mode GmbH neither guarantees a satisfac-tory quality nor suitability for a specific purpose nor the non-infringement of protective rights of the intellectual property of third parties. If you use ma-terials, you are responsible for compliance with all relevant laws and provi-sions. RENÉ LEZARD is only liable insofar as RENÉ LEZARD, their vicarious agents and/or legal representatives are guilty of wilful or grossly negligent behav-iour. In the event of slight negligence, RENÉ LEZARD is only liable insofar as es-sential contractual obligations are violated through RENÉ LEZARD, their vi-carious agents and/or legal representatives. In this case, a liability on the part of RENÉ LEZARD and/or their vicarious agents and legal representatives is precluded with respect to indirect damages; particularly consequential harm caused by a defect, unforeseeable damages or untypical damages as well as lost profit. A legally prescribed strict liability on the part of RENÉ LEZARD – particularly a legal liability under a guarantee – remains unaffected by the preceding lia-bility restrictions. The same applies to the liability on the part of RENÉ LEZARD with regard to culpable injury of life, limb or health. The preceding five paragraphs encompass all contractual and non-contractual claims which result from this agreement or the use of the RENÉ LEZARD site.

Links

The RENÉ LEZARD site may contain indirect or direct links to other websites whose contents cannot be administered or influenced by RENÉ LEZARD. This merely involves nothing but references. RENÉ LEZARD is neither liable for the accuracy and the content of these websites nor for the material that can be procured via these websites. The linked page of the respective website is examined for possible legal violations. However, a permanent textual moni-toring of linked pages is unreasonable without concrete indications of an in-fringement. This is why the René Lezard Mode GmbH quite providently disas-sociates itself from the contents of linked websites. This applies to all links and references placed within the Internet offer of the René Lezard Mode GmbH as well as to external entries, contents of discussion forums, blogs, mailing lists and the like.
