  1. Disclaimer of Warranty

The Website and the Content are provided free of charge, without any warranties of any kind being assumed by VPInstruments. The information on the Website is for general information purposes only and therefore does not constitute recommendations, legal or specialist advice.

VPInstruments does not warrant and does not guarantee that the information and/or facilities on the Website are correct, complete, appropriate, lawful or current, or that the Website or the server through which the Website is provided is free from viruses, worms, Trojans or other harmful components. VPInstruments assumes no responsibility and liability for damage to the User’s computer resulting from or arising from access to or use of the Website.

Furthermore, VPInstruments does not provide for a specific IT infrastructure or connectivity. Consequently, VPInstruments can neither assure nor guarantee that the Website will function flawlessly or error-free 100% every day. Inaccurate information, printing errors and technical inaccuracies cannot be ruled out. VPInstruments gives no warranties or representations regarding the use of the content on the Website regarding its accuracy, appropriateness, usefulness, timeliness and reliability.

The Website has a 24-hour availability. However, it may happen that due to maintenance and update work required for the system, there are interruptions in the availability of the Website. Interruptions in availability may occur due to force majeure or other causes not attributable to VPInstruments. VPInstruments points out to the Users that it is technically impossible to provide the Website free of errors of any kind and that VPInstruments therefore assumes no liability whatsoever for this. Furthermore, errors can lead to the temporary shutdown of the Website.

  1. Exclusion of Liability

The use of information on and use of the Website is at the User’s sole and exclusive risk. The Website and its content are provided without warranty. VPInstruments expressly excludes – to the extent permitted by law – any liability, in particular the warranty for merchantability and suitability for a particular purpose, as well as for the completeness, accuracy and timeliness of the information published on the Website. VPInstruments excludes any liability for losses, injuries, claims, liabilities or damages of any kind arising from, resulting from or in connection with (1) any errors on this Website and its content, in particular technical inaccuracies and typographical errors; (2) any third-party websites or their content that can be accessed directly or indirectly via links on this Website, in particular errors contained therein; (3) the unavailability of the Website or parts thereof; (4) the use of this Website or its content; or (5) the use of products or software in connection with the Website.

For this reason, VPInstruments rejects any liability for the receipt or non-receipt or the processing or non-processing of the information on the Website.

The content of this Website should not be taken as the basis for any decisions or actions. In particular, information retrievable on this Website does not replace obtaining well-founded advice from a qualified professional.

VPInstruments is only liable if the cause of the damage is based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by VPInstruments or a legal representative or vicarious agent of VPInstruments.
