However, according to the current state of technology, it is not possible to program 100 percent error-free software and to guarantee that every software or smartphone app will work on all operating systems and operating system versions.

The user is responsible for the appropriate backup of his data.

8.4. The above limitation of liability also applies to companies affiliated with WATCH AUT, vicarious agents and third parties vis-à-vis the user.

8.5. WATCH AUT cannot guarantee that access to the platform is always possible without interruption and without errors.

The changes are particularly reasonable if they arise or become necessary due to changes in the legal regulations and / or the relevant judicature. The authorization to change does not apply to essential provisions of the contractual relationship, in particular the type and scope of the agreed mutual services and the duration. If the user does not object to the change within the period set by WATCH AUT, the change is deemed to have been approved. WATCH AUT will inform the user of this fact in the change notification.

9.2. The user is made aware of changes to the terms of use or the data protection conditions by means of a corresponding notice.

9.3. The consent to the change in the contract is deemed to have been given unless the user objects to the change in writing within six weeks of receipt of the notification of change and thereby terminates the contractual relationship prematurely. WATCH AUT undertakes to notify users of the consequences of failing to object with the notification of change.

9.4. WATCH AUT will use the data provided by the user (in particular email address) for communication, in particular with regard to notifications relevant to the contract. If the user does not inform WATCH AUT about a change in the data, notifications from WATCH AUT to the user shall also be deemed to have been received by the user if this notification was sent to the e-mail address / address last known by the user. It is therefore up to the user to keep the email address in such a state and receive it that emails can be accessed.

9.7. The contract language is German.
