Sweöversätt (https://www.sweöversätt.com) including all associated country and sub-domains) is an interactive website provided by Sweöversätt (hereinafter referred to as "operator" or "Sweöversätt") aimed at language enthusiasts. The relations between Sweöversätt and the user shall be governed by these general terms and conditions (hereinafter also "GTC"). Any user's terms that differ from and conflict with these GTC do not apply. By registering at Sweöversätt the user agrees to these GTC. In the registration process, the user expressly accepts the GTC with a click on the confirmation box.
1.1 The contract covering the use of Sweöversätt's offers is entered into for an indefinite period; it serves as a master agreement for all offers used by the user that are accessible with the chosen login details (user name and password). The contract takes effect when the chosen login details are activated by Sweöversätt. The contract is not transferable as far as the user is concerned. The user is not permitted to share login details with third parties.
1.2 The offers provided by Sweöversätt are directed only at users with full legal capacity or those acting with the approval of their legal representatives. If a legal representative endorses use of services requiring registration by a minor, he/she then accepts responsibility for the online behavior of said minor, for the access control, as well as for any consequences resulting from misuse of the offered services by the minor. The legal representatives are aware that some of the operator's offers may contain content that is not appropriate for use by a minor. Sweöversätt will block such content and - insofar as is possible - technically disable the postings from being repeated.
1.3 The user must register by creating a profile. Users can view other users' profiles and interact with them. Each user may only register once and must fill out all required fields for a successful registration. When choosing a user name, the user must comply with the terms in accordance with paragraph 5.1. Sweöversätt reserves the right to change or delete user names in violation of paragraph 5.1. Multiple registrations are not permitted.
1.4 The user is obligated to provide Sweöversätt with the required details (e.g. identity, address, e-mail address and - inasmuch as is necessary for invoicing purposes - payment details) accurately and in their entirety during the registration process. Users must keep their personal information up-to-date for the duration of the contract.
1.5 Occasionally Sweöversätt sends important messages concerning the contract. The user will receive these, as a rule, via e-mail at the e-mail address specified by the user. Therefore users must keep their e-mail address updated at all times and check their e-mail account regularly for incoming messages, just as they would their home mailbox.
2.1. Sweöversätt operates a language portal in the form of an online information and communication platform with which the user can learn languages and impart linguistic knowledge. Users have the opportunity, for example, to search the language vocabularies provided and to actively add to them, to create language quizzes, to share them with other users, to evaluate or take language quizzes themselves. The user can exchange ideas about language related topics with other users. Users can integrate certain, specially marked contents into their own websites.
2.2 Commercial use (e.g. reselling, renting) of offers from Sweöversätt is not permitted.
2.3 The predominant number of offers from Sweöversätt are free of charge.

Prices and features of chargeable products are stated in the respective performance specification of the service in question.
3.1. Sweöversätt respects the user's privacy and complies with all applicable data protection regulations.
3.2 Sweöversätt does not share its users' personal information with third parties, unless the user gave prior explicit consent or there exists a legal obligation to forward information.

3.3 The privacy policy to be found on the Sweöversätt website furnishes detailed information on what purposes information is collected for, what minimum information is to be provided by every user, what additional information is optional and how the protection and the security of all personal data are safeguarded according to the effective legal regulations. Furthermore the privacy policy furnishes detailed information concerning technical questions about data protection (cookies, log files, firewalls, etc.).
4.1 Sweöversätt is not liable for the content of the users' postings; this applies particularly to cases in which the content posted by the user infringes upon the intellectual property (trademark rights, copyright, etc.) or the personal rights of third parties. This disclaimer also applies to the content of websites to which Sweöversätt users have provided links.
4.2 Sweöversätt is not liable for the accuracy or the content of statements made solely by users in the registration process or in the users' profile information or for any other contents generated by the users. The operator assumes no responsibility for possible misuse of information.
4.3 Sweöversätt is not liable for financial, physical or intangible damages resulting from the use of this information and communication platform, so long as the damages are not demonstrably due to the intent or the gross negligence of Sweöversätt or its staff.
4.4 Sweöversätt constantly strives to ensure a smooth operation at all times. However, Sweöversätt guarantees neither the uninterrupted availability or accessibility of Sweöversätt, nor is Sweöversätt liable for delays or failures in transmission due to technical reasons. For instance, technical malfunctions as well as necessary maintenance work may cause temporary disruption of Sweöversätt services.
4.5 It is not possible for Sweöversätt to carry out constant content control on external websites that are linked by users and without a concrete indication of a rights violation this can also not reasonable be expected. As soon as a rights violation on a linked external website should become known to Sweöversätt, those links will be removed immediately.
5.1 The user is solely responsible for the content of his registration and thereby the information that he provides about himself. The user may only use the Sweöversätt services in a manner or for purposes that do not violate these general terms and conditions or any effective German law or do not violate the rights of third parties. The users must heed the following in particular:
- The distribution of racist or pornographic content, content that glorifies or trivializes violence, plus immoral content is forbidden. Likewise prohibited is the distribution of information that can impair or endanger the development or upbringing of children or adolescents, or infringe upon the human dignity or other legally protected interests secured by the criminal code.

This includes, for instance, hacking attempts, use of computer programs to crawl for data, spamming and brute force attacks. - It is prohibited to post information on Sweöversätt in pursuit of a commercial agenda (particularly spamming, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or similar), to spread or promote political or ideological views (particularly using symbols or emblems of such views) or to otherwise have a political or ideological objective (such as petitions, calls for the expression of opinions, assemblies, etc.).
5.2 The user is responsible for ensuring that content posted either to the storage space or otherwise on Sweöversätt is free of viruses, worms, trojans, or other content that could interfere with or compromise the functional capacity of Sweöversätt's services or other users.
5.3 If the user is culpable of violating these GTC or effective law, Sweöversätt can take necessary action. With minor violations, this could be limited to a warning that the GTC, statutory regulations or the duty to show consideration have been violated. Serious violations may lead to temporary or total suspension of individual services or access, or even termination without notice. Furthermore Sweöversätt reserves the right to press charges in the event of any illegal violations.
5.4 Sweöversätt is entitled to block content that the user has posted if reasonable suspicion exists that said content violates statutory regulations or these GTC or the rights of third parties. Reasonable suspicion exists particularly if official or criminal investigations are conducted because of content posted by the user, or if a rights owner makes a not obviously unfounded complaint. Sweöversätt can sustain the suspension until the suspicions are dispelled.
5.5 Profiles serving to improperly read out, store, edit, alter, forward or otherwise misuse information may not be created on Sweöversätt.
6.1 Contents entered by users, such as words or tests, are accessible to the public and can be viewed and used by other users around the world.
6.2 Where the user enters, edits or adds to items in the dictionary or vocabulary lessons on Sweöversätt, this is done on behalf of Sweöversätt as the database creator in accordance with Article 87a et seq. of the German Copyright Law (UrhG).
6.3 The user must be the owner of the necessary rights for all content that he/she posts or provides access to within the framework of Sweöversätt's services. Therefore the user must check whether he/she holds the required rights before publication of content.
7.1 The user can terminate the contract without prior notice. This is done after logging in, via page "Home", sub-page "Edit Profile", by clicking on "Delete Profile".
7.2 Sweöversätt has the right to terminate the contract entered into with the user without prior notice if the user is culpable of violating these GTC or effective law and adherence to the contract is no longer to be expected.
7.3 Sweöversätt is furthermore entitled to duly terminate the contract with two weeks notice without stating a reason.
7.4 Termination by Sweöversätt is done via e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the user.
7.5 In the event of termination by the user (paragraph 7.1) or following a termination prompted by the user for cause (paragraph 7.2), the user is obligated to continue paying fees for Sweöversätt's services or products as far as a minimum or fixed term was agreed for them. A refund or proportional reduction will only occur if and insofar as the user can prove savings resulting for Sweöversätt.
7.6 Following termination by Sweöversätt, the user can re-register for Sweöversätt's offers only with explicit consent from Sweöversätt. Sweöversätt users are not permitted to enable former users whose contract was terminated by Sweöversätt to use Sweöversätt services or products.
7.7 Once termination takes effect, the user can no longer use Sweöversätt's services. The profile information stored by the user will initially be blocked when the contract is terminated. Profile information will be deleted no later than six months after the contract has been terminated. At that time the content data posted by the user will be made anonymous by Sweöversätt.
7.8 The user's right to terminate the contract for cause remains unaffected.
8.1 Sweöversätt is liable for every culpable violation of fundamental contractual obligations as well as in the case of adoption of a Guarantee of Quality according to the relevant statutory regulations. Sweöversätt is liable for damages due to want of agreed quality, only as far as these are included in such an agreement. In all other cases Sweöversätt is liable only if the resulting damages were the result of gross negligence or a deliberate act.
8.2 Notwithstanding paragraph 8.1, Sweöversätt is exempt from liability for damages due to slight negligence concerning services that Sweöversätt provides free of charge.
8.3 The user is furthermore obligated to compensate Sweöversätt for actions, damages, losses or claims of any kind resulting from culpable violations of statutory regulations or the infringement of these GTC. The user is particularly obligated to release Sweöversätt from all obligations, expenditures and claims resulting from damages due to libel, slander, defamation, violation of personal rights, due to the loss of services for other users, due to the violation of intangible assets (trademark, copyright, etc.) or other rights. The indemnification extends to cover required costs for the necessary legal costs (lawyer's fees) for the defense of such claims.
Sweöversätt is entitled to commission third parties to supply a portion of or the full range of their services. In so doing Sweöversätt will adhere to the legal obligations of data protection.
The user accepts that all trademark, copyright, performance protection and other intellectual property rights in Sweöversätt's offering are exclusively the entitlement of Sweöversätt and shall not be utilized without Sweöversätt's prior written approval. No software from Sweöversätt whatsoever shall be duplicated, distributed or made publicly accessible, decompiled or edited, unless Sweöversätt gives explicit consent.
