1.) Scope of this site
This page applies to the Internet offer www.orchidee.de and its subdomains, in particular for the forum forum.orchidee.de and all linked pages.
The website and forum of the German Orchid Society registered association is an institution of the DOG according to the statutes § 2 point 3 f.
The Deutsche Orchideen Gesellschaft, represented by the Board of Directors, has unrestricted domiciliary rights in this facility. In addition to the DOG statutes, the following terms of use according to § 3 point 2 a also apply.
The board of directors transfers domiciliary rights to the forum employees (administrators, moderators) to fulfill the assigned tasks.
We wish for a friendly exchange about orchids. The forum is not a place for arguments and discord. So if you have private discrepancies, we ask you to discuss this privately.
The forum employees are authorized to make use of the DOG’s domiciliary rights. Users who attack, insult or otherwise behave inappropriately will be warned. In the event of a recurrence, it is at the discretion of the forum employee whether to restrict use or to block the user completely, even if it is a DOG member. After a blocking has taken place, the honorary council can, for the purpose of arbitration, acc. § 9 of the articles of association.
As a precaution, we would like to point out that only exchange offers are permitted in the forum. Sales offers will be deleted without consultation.

It is hereby pointed out that all data mentioned are only used to establish contact. Any other use or exploitation (e.g. for advertising purposes) is hereby expressly prohibited.

3.) Disclaimer
3.1 Content posted by the staff of the Deutsche Orchideen-Gesellschaft
The content created by the webmaster of this site has been carefully checked and created to the best of our knowledge. However, no claim is made for the information provided here to be complete, up-to-date or correct. No responsibility can be accepted for damage caused by the content of this website.

3.2 External content posted by members of the forum
Each visitor is solely responsible for the content posted in the forum itself. This includes text, links, photos and all other types of files. The rights of third parties must not be violated in this way. The user indemnifies the operator of this website from third-party claims.
Contributions written in the forum only reflect the opinion of the respective author, not the opinion of the operator. Only the author is responsible for the correctness of the information.
Messages that violate the terms of use mentioned here will be deleted immediately by the administrators and moderators as soon as they become aware of it or are informed of it by others, insofar as this is technically possible and reasonable. However, user contributions are not reviewed by the operator prior to publication. The provided forum system (Simple Machine Forum) works in real-time mode. It is therefore not possible for the operator of the forum to exercise direct control over the entries posted. Nor can it be guaranteed that all contributions will be automatically examined by the operator for a possible violation of the above points.

3.3 Exclusion of liability/Note on the problems of external links on this website
As the content provider, the webmaster is responsible for the “own content” that he makes available for use in accordance with general laws. Cross-references (“links”) to content provided by other providers are to be distinguished from this own content. He is only responsible for this third-party content if he has positive knowledge of it (ie also of illegal or criminal content) and if it is technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent its use. However, “links” are always “living” (dynamic) references. When the link was first created, the webmaster checked the third-party content to determine whether it might result in civil or criminal liability. However, he is not obliged to constantly check the content to which he refers in his offer for changes that could give rise to new liability. Only when he discovers or is informed by others that a specific offer to which he has provided a link triggers civil or criminal liability will he remove the link to this offer, insofar as this is technically possible and reasonable for him. The technical possibility and reasonableness is not influenced by the fact that, even after the access from the “www.orchidee.de” service has been prevented, access from other servers to the illegal or criminal offer is possible.
Important note on all links on the entire website of www.orchidee.de/forum
With the judgment of May 12, 1998 – 312 O 85/98 – “Liability for links” the district court of Hamburg decided that by placing a link, one may be responsible for the content of the linked page. According to the district court, this can only be prevented by expressly distancing oneself from this content.
The following applies to all links on the www.Orchidee.de/forum pages:
We expressly declare that we have no influence on the design and content of the linked pages. We therefore hereby expressly distance ourselves from all content on all linked pages on the entire website of www.orchidee.de/forum.

These links are for the sole purpose of providing additional information to users. We would like to point out that if illegal content appears on websites linked from our Internet presence, we have no knowledge of it.
Please notify us immediately of any illegal content on the websites we link to so that we can remove the links.

For this purpose, the IP addresses of the members are logged. This data is only available to the administrators and is only collected for this purpose.

With its judgment of May 12, 1998 – 312 O 85/98 – “Liability for links” the district court (LG) Hamburg decided that by attaching a link, you may be responsible for the content of the linked page.
