Terms

1. Scope

These terms of use apply to the use of the hubu.de portal with all its subdomains and the services offered there, including news, weather, market information, traffic, election data, cinema data, lottery numbers and online tools. By using our services you accept these terms. No user accounts are used.

2. Our services

We operate a news and service portal. The services are provided without advertising and without tracking and are generally free to use; there are no paid functions. Weather, market and other data come from open sources; news content is created and reviewed by our editorial team. The processing of personal data is governed by our privacy policy.

3. Proper use

You may use our services for private and personal purposes. When doing so, you must not:

• use our services in a way that impairs their operation, for example through automated mass requests, request loops or circumventing access restrictions;
• systematically extract content on a large scale by automated means (scraping), where this puts a load on our servers or serves commercial reuse;
• use the services for unlawful purposes, for example to distribute malicious software, to overload them (denial of service) or to circumvent security measures;
• obtain or use administrative access credentials or third-party credentials;
• abuse features such as weather, market, traffic, election or cinema data lookups, for example through excessive requests aimed at disrupting the services or loading external data sources.

4. Content and liability

The news articles are handled by our editorial team. We make every effort to provide current and correct information but accept no liability for its completeness, correctness or timeliness. Market information is for information only and does not constitute investment advice. Weather, traffic, election and lottery data may differ from actual conditions or results.

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for damage resulting from injury to life, body or health. For simple negligence we are liable only for breach of material contractual obligations, limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Liability for indirect damage and consequential damage caused by simple negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

5. Copyright

The content provided on our pages is subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, distribution or public communication of the content in whole or in substantial part is not permitted without our prior written consent. Sharing individual articles via the sharing features provided, and linking to our pages, are permitted. The rights of third parties, in particular those of the respective rights holders, remain unaffected.

6. Links to external sites

Our website may contain links to external third-party websites whose content we cannot influence. The respective provider is always responsible for that content. We will remove such links without delay if we become aware of any legal infringement.

7. Availability

We aim to keep our services available with as few interruptions as possible. There is no entitlement to constant availability. We may adapt, extend or discontinue our services at any time to the extent that this is reasonable.

8. Changes to these terms

We reserve the right to adjust these terms of use, in particular if our services or legal requirements change. We will announce material changes at least 15 days before they take effect on this page. The current version can be retrieved at this address.

9. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Should individual provisions of these terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory rule that comes closest to the economic purpose applies in place of the invalid provision. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular consumer protection rules, remain unaffected.
