Disclaimer

1. Content of online information
All information contained in this document has been carefully checked and is believed to be accurate, however, we retain the right to make changes on the grounds of clerical or typographical errors or mistakes.
The author reserves the right not to be responsible for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. The author cannot be held liable for any damage or loss of a material or non-material nature resulting from the use or non-use of the information provided or from the use of incorrect or incomplete information, except in the case of demonstrable intent/gross negligence on the part of the author. All content is without obligation and non-binding. The author explicitly reserves the right to modify, supplement or delete some of the pages or the entire content without providing separate notification, or stop publication thereof temporarily or indefinitely.

2. References and links
In the event of direct or indirect links to external web sites ("hyperlinks") that are outside the scope of responsibility of the author, responsibility for illegal content cannot be accepted unless the author had knowledge of the content and it was technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent visitors to the site from viewing those pages.
The author hereby explicitly declares that he was not aware of any illegal content on the linked sites when the links were installed. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current or future design, the content or the authorship of the web sites to which links are provided. For this reason the author explicitly distances himself from the content of all linked sites that have been modified after the links were installed. The same also applies to all links and references within the author's own Internet content, and external entries in visitor books, discussion forums, link lists, mailing lists or any other type of database provided by the author to which external write access is possible. The provider of the site to which reference is made is solely responsible for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content, particularly for damage caused by the use or non-use of such information, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

3. Copyright and trade mark law
The author has endeavoured not to use copyrighted images, diagrams, sounds, video sequences and texts and use his own material or freeware.
All brand names and trademarks that are mentioned in the web site content and may be protected by third parties are unrestrictedly subject to the conditions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the owner(s) thereof. It cannot be assumed that trademarks are not protected by the rights of third parties just because this is stated!
The copyright for published objects that the author has created himself belongs exclusively to the author of the web site. The duplication or use of such diagrams, sounds, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the explicit approval of the author.

4. Data protection
We are delighted that you are interested in our website. We care a lot about protecting your privacy. We would now like to inform you in detail about how we handle your data.

Acquisition, processing, use, disclosure and deletion of personal data
When you visit websites, only anonymised access data, excluding any personal information such as the names of the sites visited, the browser used or your Internet service provider, are recorded. Personal data is only collected if you voluntarily make it available, e.g. by placing an order, opening a customer account or registering with us. Any such data collected is only used for fulfilment of the order or contract and for internal statistical analyses. Should you not have expressly agreed to your data being used beyond fulfilment of the contract, the data will be embargoed when the contract has been executed in full and deleted after the period of up to ten years stipulated by law. No data will be disclosed to third parties simply because you have visited the website.

When you place an order in the on-line shop, data, such as your full name, e-mail address and postal address, required for fulfilment and handling of contracts will only be used for fulfilment of the order and internal statistical analysis. Data such as the title, name, address, telephone number and e-mail address which you enter in the mandatory fields on the contact form when making an enquiry is stored to enable the enquiry to be forwarded to and dealt with by the correct contact. No further use will be made of the data, e.g. for advertising purposes. If applicable, the requisite data will be disclosed to third parties such as sales partners or shipping companies for the purpose of delivery, insofar as may be necessary for fulfilment of the order, for billing purposes or for collection of payment.

Data collected during on-line guarantee registration, which requires contact details and product information about the unit for which the guarantee period is to be extended, is required for processing a claim under guarantee and classification of the unit. A reminder may be issued for the statutory annual inspection of the units and any recall campaigns required. Data collected during on-line registration for the guarantee will be deleted at the end of the extended guarantee period.

Should you register to receive the newsletter after registration, stating your e-mail address and your express consent to its distribution, the e-mail address stated will be used to inform you of changes, additions and new features of EWM products until you cancel at any time. Should you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, your e-mail address will be deleted from the distribution list. The e-mail address required for receipt of the newsletter will not be disclosed to third parties.
Other than in the aforesaid cases, no disclosure of personal data to third parties will take place unless we have a legal obligation or have received your consent to do so.

Data security
Comprehensive physical and technical security measures have been taken in respect of the procedures to be applied to protect your data from damage, destruction and unauthorised access. Data sent to us will be encrypted.
Should the website allow the entry of personal or commercial data (e.g. e-mail addresses, names or postal addresses), disclosure of such data by the user will take place on an expressly voluntary basis. Use of and payment for all services offered, including without stating such data, or disclosing anonymised data or a using pseudonym, will be permitted, within the limits of what is technically possible and reasonable. Third-party use of the contact details, such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses published in the statutory notice, for sending information not expressly requested will not be permitted. We reserve the right to take legal action against the sender of spam in the event of infringement of this prohibition.

We shall only collect personal data each time our website is visited if you have expressly authorised us to do so. Our website also includes external programs such as Twitter and Facebook social networking sites, which are operated exclusively by the respective provider. The site of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA is identifiable by the Facebook logo and the "Like" button. The site of Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St., Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA, which also collects personal data and discloses it to third parties, is identifiable by the Twitter logo.

On our website, so-called social plug-ins ("Plug-ins") of the Facebook social network are used which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plug-ins are marked with a Facebook logo or the addition "Social plug-in of Facebook" or "Facebook social plug-in". An overview of the Facebook plug-ins and how they look is provided at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins

When you access a page of our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. Facebook transmits the content of the plug-in directly to your browser and integrates it into the page. Due to this integration, Facebook will receive information that your browser has accessed the relevant page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not logged in to Facebook. Your browser will transmit this information (including your IP address) directly to a Facebook server in the U.S. and store it there. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our website directly to your Facebook profile. When you interact with the plug-ins, e.g. click the "Like" button or make a comment, this information is likewise transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. Moreover, the information is published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends.

For the purpose and extent of data acquisition and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights in this respect and your options to make settings to protect your privacy, please see Facebook's data privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php If you do not wish Facebook to assign the data collected through our website directly to your Facebook profile, you need to log off Facebook before you visit our website.

The purpose and extent of data collection by providers such as Facebook, and further processing and use of the respective data there, including the relevant rights and possible settings for protection of privacy, are determined only by the provider of such programs, including e.g. Facebook, which is why we refer to the data protection information of Facebook, http://dede.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php or http://twitter.com/privacy.
