Profile account

If you choose to set up a profile account on the Website, you will become a “User”. During the profile registration process, you will be asked to choose a password. You agree to keep your password confidential. Users are entirely responsible for any and all activities which occur under their account whether authorized or not authorized, unless access to a user’s user name and/or password was obtained by a third party through no fault or negligence of User’s own. User agrees to notify Carownersocial of any unauthorized use of User’s account or any other breach of account security as soon as it becomes known to User. Any rights to use Services offered to a User are personal to that User and not for commercial use without the express written consent of Carownersocial.

You should, also, know that we may need to change the username for your account in certain circumstances (for example, if someone else claims the username and it appears unrelated to the name you use in everyday life).

Account suspension or termination

If we determine that you have clearly, seriously, or repeatedly violated our Terms or our Privacy Policy, we may suspend or permanently disable access to your account. We may also suspend or disable your account if we required to do so by law. Where appropriate, we will notify you about your account the next time you try to access it. You can contact us via email if you think we have disabled your account by mistake.

Limitation of liability

Neither we nor any third parties provide any warranty or guarantee as to the accuracy, timeliness, performance, completeness or suitability of the information found or offered on this website for any particular purpose. You acknowledge that such information may contain inaccuracies or errors and we expressly exclude liability for any such inaccuracies or errors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

In no event shall Carownersocial be held liable for anything arising out of or in any way connected with your use of this Website whether such liability is under contract. Carownersocial, including its officers, shall not be held liable for any indirect, consequential or special liability arising out of or in any way related to your use of this Website.

The above does not exclude or limit our liability for death, personal injury, or fraudulent misrepresentation caused by our negligence. It also does not exclude or limit our liability for any other things where the law does not permit us to do so.

Indemnification

You hereby indemnify to the fullest extent Carownersocial from and against any and/or all liabilities, costs, demands, causes of action, damages and expenses arising in any way related to your breach of any of the provisions of these Terms.

Carownersocial is allowed to assign, transfer, and subcontract its rights and/or obligations under these Terms without any notification. However, you are not allowed to assign, transfer, or subcontract any of your rights and/or obligations under these Terms.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between Carownersocial and you in relation to your use of this Website, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

Compliance with laws

Use of the Service is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms. You assume all knowledge of applicable law and are responsible for compliance with any such laws. You may not use the Service in any way that violates applicable state, federal, or international laws, regulations or other government requirements. You further agree not to transmit any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation.

Disputes resolution

If you are a consumer and habitually reside in a Member State of the European Union, the laws of that Member State will apply to any claim, cause of action, or dispute you have against us that arises out of or relates to these Terms ("claim"), and you may resolve your claim in any competent court in that Member State that has jurisdiction over the claim. In all other cases, you agree that the claim must be resolved in a competent court in Germany and that German law will govern these Terms and any claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Variation of Terms

Carownersocial is permitted to revise these Terms at any time as it sees fit, and by using this Website you are expected to review these Terms on a regular basis.

Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
