2. Contents of the online presentation

2.1 General responsibility for own contents

The company Seidl Technologies UG (haftungsbeschränkt), hereinafter abbreviated as Seidl Technologies, provides under the domain seidl-tech.com both pure information and possibilities to interact. Pure information accompanies the company's product and service offers, and the possibilities to interact facilitate the exchange of data with current and prospective customers and business partners. In accordance with general law, Seidl Technologies is responsible for own contents made available through the pages under the above mentioned domain. All contents of our website have been compiled with care and to the best of our knowledge. However, it cannot be ruled out that any illegalities have crept in, at least not when thinking of such simple concepts as the computer system hosting the domain could be penetrated and data has been changed. On the other hand, in the case that any legal infringement is brought to our attention, Seidl Technologies will immediately remove it.

2.2 Limitation of liability for own contents

It should be noted that, not least because of the complexity of some parts of the treated topics, it cannot be expected that the general responsibility, referred to in 2.1, implies the obligation to guarantee that the hereby provided own material is completely correct or meets the stated purpose. As a result, in no event will Seidl Technologies be liable to any party for any material or immaterial damages caused by the use or non-use of the presented information with its potentially possible imperfection and incompleteness, unless the company is provably guilty of intentional tort or gross negligence.

5. Privacy policy

5.1 Data protection principles

The protection of your privacy is one of the important business principles by which Seidl Technologies is guided. By transferring personal information or information about your company to us through our website, that information gets part of our business data. In Germany, such kind of data is subject to the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) and corresponding data protection laws of the federal states. At the same time this information can also be subject to retention periods required by commercial and tax laws. With this data protection statement we would like to inform you about how we collect, store, and process data when you visit our website, when you fill out our customer data form, or when we are working for you.

5.2 Hosting

Our web pages and an important part of our business data are hosted by the STRATO AG, Berlin. The STRATO AG assures to exclusively process and store data in TÜV certified data centers in Germany. TÜV means Technischer Überwachungsverein, or Technical Inspection Association. Approvals for inspecting data that belongs to Seidl Technologies have never been issued to the hosting provider's employees, and so it will also remain in the future. The STRATO AG furthermore assures to anonymize the IP addresses of individuals that visit the web pages of our company shortly after the completion of the connection to these pages.

5.3 Evaluation of access data

You can visit our web pages without giving any information about yourself. Seidl Technologies does not capture and store any data your devices and terminals tacitly divulge when you access our pages. To check the effectiveness of our offer, we, however, evaluate statistics, which makes the hosting provider available to us, and where the fully qualified client domains have been replaced by two-staged constructs of the form SecondLevelDomain.TopLevelDomain. To be identifiable by means of such an information, the following conditions have to meet simultaneously. You have to operate from a host that can unambiguously be identified through a two-staged name, you have to be alone on this host, and one has to be able to associate that host with you. In practice the mentioned conditions can only occur simultaneously if you have just ensured that. With simpler words, as long as you realize your Internet access through a reputable telecommunications service provider, your anonymity is ensured when visiting our pages.

5.4 Data collection using the customer data form

In order to properly prepare, perform and declare commercial transactions, Seidl Technologies asks customers and business partners for information, that is for the sake of simplicity hereinafter referred to as customer data. For this we provide current and future customers or partners with a form, where they voluntarily enter expected personal or business-related information by themselves. Interested parties who wish to remain anonymously in the first instance have the option of filling out the form using a test account that does not store anything. So they can determine in advance what kind of data we collect and why. The latter means that there are statements in the completion instructions that describe what this particular information is used for. Should you then decide to do business with us, you need a real account, which is opened by us on phone or email request. The resulting access data, you will then also get by phone or email. The first login using a just opened account will enforce a password change. Please, neither lose the customer ID nor the customer password. Just for data protection we are obliged to ascertain your identity unequivocally before we reset the password of an existing account, because we have to ensure that data of our customers remains in the right hands. Within your account you arrange by yourself whether your account should be deleted or remains for future activities. If there is not yet a commercial relationship with us, your account will, so you have requested the deletion, immediately be deleted. If there was, however, any commercial transaction handled through this account, your account will, in the same case, initially only be locked and will permanently be deleted when the retention periods required by commercial and tax laws will have elapsed. The same occurs if an account has remained untouched for two years. It is first of all locked and then either immediately deleted or with delay, after the mentioned periods have elapsed.

5.5 Data dissemination for contract fulfillment

Should we have to ship some item under the contract with you, we provide the transportation company with the required delivery information. This is primarily the shipping address. In the case of international shipments, the transportation company sometimes also demands the recipient's telephone number and/or email address. For settlements of payment, we pass the necessary payment data on to payment services, so far as commissioned by us.

5.6 Dealing with information obtained on the customer's premises

Performing on-site works at customer's premises, particular insights are gained about details of the installation, the infrastructure, and the buildings of the customer. We hereby assure that we use only that part of these mentioned insights that is needed to issue reasonable invoices, and we do not use that part for anything else. With regard to the other part of that insights, we undertake to maintain secrecy. In particular after the works have been finished, all recordings done in the context of the mentioned insights are destroyed.

5.7 Sharing data under cooperation agreements

Seidl Technologies will, in the course of time, establish and maintain cooperative relations with other companies. Some data exchange will inevitably happen between these companies and us. What information is exchanged in what periods of time and for what purpose, all that is the subject of agreements that have to be concluded. Data being expressly excluded from any exchange in this context is those one that has been collected by means of the customer data form, see 5.4 therefor, or that falls under the point 5.6.

5.8 Data dissemination for other reasons

Except for the cases referred to under 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7, Seidl Technologies shall only deliver any information to third parties if statutory provisions or judicial decisions expressly require that. It should furthermore be noted that tax auditors may also comb through all business data by rights.

5.9 Right of access to personal data

You have the right to be informed of any data stored by us that concerns your person. You have also the right that inaccurate data gets corrected and data that is stored by us and concerns your person is blocked and deleted. With regard to the deletion, the retention periods required by commercial and tax laws that have already been mentioned under 5.4 may be effective. We furthermore offer to inspect data, concerning your person, by yourself using the customer data form, and, optionally, to change that data. If you wish to obtain more information about your personal data, its correction or deletion, or if you have further questions how we use personal data transmitted to us, contact us in writing at the address Seidl Technologies UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Burgstraße 51, 99752 Bleicherode, GERMANY. Please, understand that, in this context, we have to reserve the right to take actions that ascertain your identity unequivocally.

6. Instruction on the right of withdrawal

6.1 Right of withdrawal

As a consumer you have the right to withdraw from contracts with Seidl Technologies within fourteen days without giving any reason. The right of withdrawal does not apply if the contract is attributed to your commercial or professional practice. Furthermore, in the case of a contract for the provision of services, the right of withdrawal expires also in those cases in which the contractor has completely provided the service and began with the performance of the service not before the consumer had given his express consent thereto and had concurrently acknowledged that he would lose the right to withdraw from the contract once the contractor completely fulfilled the contract. Once the right of withdrawal applies, the withdrawal period will expire after fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Seidl Technologies UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Burgstraße 51, 99752 Bleicherode, GERMANY, Telephone +49 36338 584172, Telefax +49 36338 457089, Email mail@seidl-tech.com) of your decision to withdraw from a contract with us by an unequivocal statement (by, for example, a letter sent by post or by a telefax or per email). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, which, however, is not obligatory. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

6.2 Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw a contract with us, we are obligated to return all payments that we have received from you, including delivery charges (except for additional costs arising from your choice of a type of delivery other than our reasonable standard delivery), without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day we have received your decision to withdraw from the contract. Pursuant to section 357 (4) German Civil Code (BGB), we reserve the right to withhold the refund until we have received the goods from you that were delivered by us if needed, or until you have provided evidence that you have returned those goods, depending on which occurred earlier. We will use the same means of payment you have used in the original transaction for this refund, unless something else has been expressly agreed upon. In no case will we charge you a fee because of this refund.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us (Seidl Technologies UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Burgstraße 51, 99752 Bleicherode, GERMANY) without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from the contract to us. The deadline is met if you send the goods back before the period of fourteen days has expired. You will have to bear the direct costs of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the delivered goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

If you requested to begin the performance of agreed services yet during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us the amount which is in proportion to what has been provided until you have communicated us your withdrawal from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
