Liability and warranty
The availability of the website is solely guaranteed within the scope of technical circumstances. Temporary downtime periods of the service cannot be excluded and do not justify any claims against SCHOTTEL HYDRO.
Services which are not subject to a specific contractual relationship (which also include the operation of this website) may be discontinued at any time without notice or notification.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security leaks and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties. Opt for the postal service if in doubt.
Liability for content
The content of our website has been created with care and is occasionally updated. However, we do not assume any liability for the accuracy, completeness and current status of the content. We are liable for our own content in accordance with general regulations. We are not under the obligation to monitor third-party content on our websites – in particular guest articles or comments – nor to research circumstances that suggest an illegal activity. We will immediately remove content as soon as we become aware of a specific legal infringement that justifies a removal.
Use of the content of our website is at your own risk; the details supplied are only to be used as non-binding general information and are intended to assist you in preparing your actions with more in-depth information. However, they do not replace a detailed individual consultation for a (contractual) decision.
Therefore, please do not rely on the accuracy, completeness or current status of the information if its inaccuracy could lead to damages for you!
Liability for links
This SCHOTTEL HYDRO website may contain links to third party websites (external links). Such websites are the responsibility of the respective operator.
SCHOTTEL HYDRO wants to make interesting and useful information accessible to you via external links, but also occasionally critical information. Sometimes a link is also only used as a (mandatory) source acknowledgement and cannot simply be omitted. Setting external links does not mean therefore that SCHOTTEL HYDRO is taking ownership of the content behind the referral or the link, particularly as the external content is (may be) subject to permanent change.
SCHOTTEL HYDRO has established an internal process which ensures that the first connection to external content is checked for legal infringements within the usual framework. If a legal infringement becomes obvious at this time – if the external link is then even set (e.g. because we are under the obligation to set it) – this link will be highlighted with a specific display (marking). However, SCHOTTEL HYDRO has no influence on the current and future design, nor on the content, of the linked external pages!
Play your part in making the internet as free from legal infringements as possible. If you discover such an infringement on a page to which we have set an external link please send us an e-mail or contact us. We guarantee to you that we will immediately re-check such content and remove it where applicable.
Other liability, liability for malware (viruses)
The liability of SCHOTTEL HYDRO for material and legal defects is aligned to the aforementioned provisions of these General Terms of Use; furthermore, SCHOTTEL HYDRO excludes liability for slightly negligent infringements of obligations regarding the services provided, in particular during downloads of files made available by SCHOTTEL HYDRO on the websites stated here, provided that these do not concern material contractual obligations or affect life, health and body or claims arising due to the Product Liability Act or claims based on the assumption of a product quality guarantee or claims due to a fraudulent concealment of a defect. However, compensation due to a negligent infringement of material contractual obligations, is limited to typical foreseeable contractual damage. The same applies to infringements of obligation by our agents.
SCHOTTEL HYDRO constantly strives to keep the website and its content virus-free. Nevertheless, SCHOTTEL HYDRO cannot guarantee that the website and/or its content is constantly virus-free. Therefore, for your own protection please always ensure prior to downloading and opening content from the websites of SCHOTTEL HYDRO that you are using appropriate and updated security precautions and virus scanners!
The above provisions do not change the burden of proof to your disadvantage.
Copyright, neighbouring rights and image rights
The content published on the website SCHOTTEL-HYDRO – including images – are subject to copyright and neighbouring rights. Every usage outside of the limits of applicable copyright law requires the prior written consent from SCHOTTEL HYDRO or the rights holders (authors).

Unauthorised duplication or forwarding of individual pieces of content or entire pages is not permitted and may even be punishable by law. Displaying this website in external frames is only permitted with the written consent of SCHOTTEL HYDRO.
Third-party content is characterized as such and its copyright is respected. If you discover content on one of our pages that you believe infringes your (or third-party) rights, please send us an e-mail or contact us. We guarantee that we will clarify the situation immediately.
