Terms of Use

Date: 1. September 2016

We are delighted you’ve decided to use our products and services, all of which we refer to simply as the “Service.”

We have tried to strip the legalese from the Terms of Use, but there are places where these Terms may still read like a traditional contract. There is a good reason for that: These Terms of Use form a legally binding contract between yourself and ianu; and affect your legal rights and obligations. Please read them carefully.

By using the Service (website, app and any other services) you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”). The service is owned by or under the control of ianu. If you do not consent to be bound by all of these Terms of Use, do not use or access the Service.

The likelihood may arise that we offer temporary special features that have their own Terms of Use, which then respectively apply to these Terms. In situations where a conflict arises between the relevant, the specific conditions of the special functions are binding.

You (and any third parties for which you run an account or activity on the Service) agree to exempt ianu parties from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses arising (including appropriate attorney’s fees and costs) which may result from any of the following activities or otherwise related thereto (inter alia because of your direct activity on the Service or activities carried out in your name): (i) your content or your access to the Service or its use; (ii) your violation or alleged breach of these Terms; (iii) your violation of any third party’s right (inter alia any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right); (iv) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, ordinances, decrees or orders of any government and government-related agency, including all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; or (v) any misrepresentation made.

Time constraints for claims

You agree that any claims that you may have because of your relationship with ianu or in connection with this, must be filed within one year after the occurrence of such a claim; otherwise your claim is permanently barred.

 

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the country Austria excluding the private international law and will be interpreted in accordance therewith. You agree to clarify any dispute that you have with ianu exclusively before a court in Salzburg, Austria, and you will abide by the jurisdiction of the courts in Austria.

 

If any provision in these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed appropriately separated from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. Failure by ianu on the exact implementation or enforceability of each provision of these Terms shall be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these conditions shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other condition. ianu reserves the right to modify this provision for the settlement of disputes; however, such changes do not apply to disputes arising prior to the effective date of the amendment. This amended provision shall apply for the purposes of settling the dispute till the end of all your transactions with ianu.

If you use the service on behalf of a legal entity, you warrant that you are authorized to enter into an agreement on behalf of the legal person.

You are prohibited from avoiding the Terms of Use or any rights as well as transferring any obligations under this Agreement voluntary or by law whether completely or partially without the prior written permission of ianu. Any attempted assignment or transfer of rights without the appropriate prior written consent of ianu is ineffective. ianu may assign these Terms or any rights under this Agreement without your consent. Should any of these Terms be found to be unenforceable, invalid or otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties agree that this part be deemed severed from these Terms of Use and does not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions; the other provisions of the TOS remain in full effect and in force. Neither the conduct between the parties nor trade practice causes a change in the terms of use. These Terms grant any third party any ownership.

 

Local restrictions

The information made available through the Service are not intended for distribution to or use intended by any person or any company in any jurisdiction or a country where such distribution or use would be contrary to a law or regulation, or which would subject ianu any registration requirement in such jurisdiction or such a country. We reserve the right to restrict the availability of the service or any part thereof to any person, any geographic region or jurisdiction at any time and at our sole discretion, and to restrict the amounts of any questions of ianu available Swimming contents, programs, products, services or features.
