Legal Notices

Legal Notice

The European Commission, Directorate- General for Enterprise and Industry supports this common communications platform for the PRO INNO Europe® initiative to enhance public access to information about the initiative and the activities of the actions co-funded under PRO INNO Europe®. Our goal is to keep this information timely and accurate. If errors are brought to our attention, we will try to correct them. However, the Commission accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever with regard to the information on this platform. It is our goal to minimize disruption caused by technical errors. However some data or information on the platform may have been created or structured in files or formats that are not error-free and we cannot guarantee that our service will not be interrupted or otherwise affected by such problems. The Commission accepts no responsibility with regard to such problems incurred as a result of using this platform. Neither the Commission nor any person acting on its behalf accepts any responsibility in connection with the content of any linked external site. Linking should not be taken as an endorsement of any kind. The Commission cannot guarantee that these links will work all. This disclaimer is not intended to limit the liability of the Commission in contravention of any requirements laid down in applicable national law nor to exclude its liability for matters which may not be excluded under that law.

Website Content

The European Commission and information providers endeavour to present information of high quality at all times. Nonetheless, the European Commission accepts no responsibility for the currency, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. Claims of liability against the European Commission which relate to damages of a material or ideational nature, and which are caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by using erroneous or incomplete information, are excluded on principle, unless there is an intentional or grossly negligent fault on the part of the European Commission which can be proved. All offers are subject to confirmation and non-binding. The European Commission explicitly reserves the right to alter, supplement, delete or temporarily or completely discontinue publication of parts of the pages or the entire website without prior notice.

References and Links

If direct or indirect references (links) are made to web pages which lie outside the area of responsibility of the author, the latter is only responsible in so far that he is aware of their content and technically able to prevent usage of content should it be illegal. The provider of the said pages is solely liable for any content going beyond the author's knowledge and in particular for damages caused by the use or non-use of information thus provided; the person who merely refers to the respective publication by means of a link is not liable in this way. This statement applies equally to third-party entries in visitors' books, discussion forums and mailing lists provided by the European Commission.

Copyright Notice

Copyright and usage rights for text, graphics, images, design and source code are in the possession of the European Commission. The non-commercial creation, use and sharing of copies in electronic or printed form is allowed as long as the content remains unaltered, the source is specified (www.proinno-europe.eu/) and no third party rights are affected.

Effectiveness in Law of this Liability Exclusion

This disclaimer is to be treated as part of the common communications platform to which it refers. If parts or particular phrases within this text do not correspond at all, correspond no longer, or do not completely correspond to current legislation, the remaining sections of this document remain unaffected in terms of their content and validity.
