Exclusion of Liability

1 Liability for the Contents of the Online Offer

All contents of this online offer have been drawn up with the utmost care and to the best of our knowledge. Nonetheless, the author cannot assume any liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or non-material damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, respectively, are excluded as a general rule, provided that there is no evidence of wilful intent or gross negligence on the part of the author. All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without prior notice or to discontinue publication temporarily or permanently.

2. Limitation of Liability for External Links

In the case of direct or indirect references to third-party Internet pages ("links") that lie outside the author's area of responsibility, a liability obligation would only come into effect if the author had knowledge of the content and it would have been technically possible and reasonable for him/her to prevent use in the case of illegal content. The author therefore expressly declares that the linked pages were free of illegal content at the time the links were created. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. Therefore, he/she hereby expressly distances himself/herself from all contents of all linked pages that were changed after the link was created. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author's own website as well as to outside entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. Liability for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and, in particular, for damage arising from the use or non-use of such information lies solely with the provider of the page to which reference is made, and not with the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.
If legal violations on externally linked websites become known, the external links will be removed immediately by the author.

3. Copyright and Trademark Law

The author strives to observe the copyrights of the graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts created by him/herself, or to use licence-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. All brand names and trademarks mentioned on the website and, possibly, protected by third parties are subject to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners without restriction. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by the rights of third parties! The copyright for published objects created by the author himself/herself remains solely with the author of the pages. Any duplication or use of objects such as diagrams, sound documents, video sequences or texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's explicit consent.
Third-party content used by the author is identified as such. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please inform the author accordingly. If copyright infringements become known, the author will remove such content immediately.

4. Data Protection

see Data Protection Declaration

5. Legal Validity of this Exclusion of Liability

Insofar as parts or individual wordings of this text do not, no longer, or do not completely, correspond to the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaffected in their content and validity.

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

When you use the chat of the University Library, the beginning and end of the chat as well as the chat history are logged with the chat logs being stored for two days. You can request a log of the chat before the chat is concluded.

The FH Aachen University Library compiles quantitative statistics on the number and time of requests. In this context, personal data will not be processed.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject, or of another natural person, make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) (d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company, or of a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the aforementioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

The processing of personal data is necessary to enable you to use the chat. In order to be able to answer your enquiry by email in the event of an unintentional disconnection, chat logs are stored for two days.

4. Duration of Storage

After two days, the chat logs will be deleted automatically.

The University Library strives to make its services accessible in accordance with national legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Status of Compatibility with the Requirements

Accessibility has been considered by us, however, certain places may have barriers, for example with regard to newer accessibility requirements.

Issuance of the Declaration

This declaration was drawn up in February 2023. The level of accessibility is determined by our own assessment.
