§ 4 Accountability of the Operating Company
(1) RankSider provides no guarantee that the services offered do not violate the rules and regulations of Google, Facebook, Twitter, and other servers. It is the duty and obligation of the contracting party to ensure adherence to the guidelines of these and other sites.

(2) Furthermore, RankSider provides no guarantee that the services offered are free of rights of third parties (particularly companies, brands, and names) or that they may be used by the contracting party without infringing upon the rights of third parties. It is the duty and obligation of the contracting party to look into this matter.

(3) RankSider cannot be legally prosecuted for incorrect statements and information provided during the registration of the user. RankSider assumes no responsibility for any form of misuse of information by other users or by third parties. This holds particularly true when the user personally makes this information available to other persons. Additionally, the operating company is not responsible for gain of unauthorized knowledge of users’ personal information through the use of a third party (e.g. through unauthorized access to the data base on the part of “hackers”).

(4) RankSider cannot be made responsible for significant disruptions in service. RankSider is not responsible for malfunctions for which it cannot personally account, such as violence or technological disruption of the internet.

(6) The operating party cannot take responsibility for the content of external and third-party links. Content written and published by users is considered foreign content as stipulated by § 5 of the Teleservices Act (Teledienstgesetz or TDG) as amended on 22.7.1997, and for this reason the operator cannot be held responsible for this content.

(7) RankSider reserves the right to block clients’ accounts without prior notice.

In particular, RankSider will erase an entry that infringes upon applicable law of the Federal Republic of Germany, upon good manners, or upon the user’s own obligations. Erasures also occur when RankSider credibly believes that a client’s entry or offer could possibly injure the rights of a third party (particularly company, name, and brand rights).

(10) The content of the offers published by users on RankSider will not be checked for correctness and completeness by the operator.

§ 5 User’s Rights and Obligations
(1) The user is obligated to provide complete and true personal data and all information pertaining to value-added tax requirements as stipulated by the registration form when creating a client account.

The user is responsible for taking measures necessary to prevent unauthorized used of her/his data, especially passwords, by third parties and is obligated to inform the operator immediately of confirmed or suspected unauthorized use of her/his account. The tendering user holds exclusive responsibility for all information provided. RankSider is not required to check the profile pages or the advertisements of users for eventual infringements of rights.

(3) The user affirms that all information provided conforms to the truth and describes her/his personality. The contract partners agree that it is in the lawful interests of the operator to verify as necessary the correctness of the data provided by the user.

(8) Entering bids for one’s own advertisements and offers is prohibited, as is the contracting of third parties to bid on one’s own advertisements and offers.
