Limitation of liability

The information and published content provided on the web site are noncommittal.

The companies of the Blum Group are therefore not liable for damages of any kind, whether direct, indirect, incidental, or special. They are also not liable for losses or costs resulting from erroneous data in information, contents or technical documentation unless these errors are based on malice or gross negligence.
Proof of malice or gross negligence is the obligation of the user.

The companies of the Blum Group are also not liable for damages of any kind, whether direct, indirect, incidental, or special as well as losses or costs resulting from the software or hardware being used as well as because of viruses, worms or the like as long as there is no malice or gross negligence. Proof of malice or gross negligence is the obligation of the user.

The companies of the Blum Group inform participants that data protection for data transmission over open networks especially the Internet can not be completely guaranteed given the current state of technology. The participant recognises that under some circumstances third parties may be able to access network security and inspect transmitted data.
