    • All use of the website is subject to the following terms and conditions of use. Please read through these terms and conditions as well as the privacy policy carefully. In order to use the website, the user must accept the terms and conditions specified below. By using the website, the user accepts these terms and conditions and all other legal requirements. Should a user not accept the website’s terms and conditions, then they are prohibited from further use of it. If all or any provisions of the terms and conditions below should be violated, the user immediately and automatically loses their right to use the website. In the event of such violations, Kärnten Werbung reserves the right to assert whatever claims may be relevant in a given instance (e.g. for damage compensation) towards the user(s) concerned. 

  • Use of the website services
    • The user is entitled to use the website services at their own risk and expense and is obliged to only use suitable end devices. Use is permitted for both private and business purposes.

    • The user is obliged to make use of the services only in compliance with the statutory provisions and, in particular, to refrain from any improper use. Where website services are provided free of charge, Kärnten Werbung reserves the right to provide them for a fee at any time in the future after prior notice. There is no entitlement to the provision of free of charge services under any circumstances. 

    • Kärnten Werbung is entitled to adapt, change or remove website content at any time without prior notice.

  • Rights
    • All contents of the website are protected by copyright and ancillary copyright, regardless of whether they are offered for a fee or free of charge. Any form of duplication, distribution, renting, lending, provision of public reproduction or access, processing or any other use of any kind whatsoever requires the express written consent of Kärnten Werbung.

    • Violations of this provision may, in particular, have consequences under trademark, copyright and competition law. 

  • Data protection
    • Kärnten Werbung places considerable emphasis on the careful handling of data. Information on how your data is used when using the website can be found in the privacy policy
  • Warranty
    • Availability of the website depends in part on technical infrastructure, over which Kärnten Werbung has no influence. Technical faults and/or servicing and other causes (e.g. a relaunch of the website) may result in the site being temporarily unavailable. Kärnten Werbung does not guarantee any specific availability and accessibility of the website.

    • All contents of the website have been compiled to the best of our knowledge and with the greatest possible care. Some of this content is based on information that Kärnten Werbung receives from third parties. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the website content is correct, complete and up-to-date, Kärnten Werbung accepts no liability for this. The same applies to all products and services offered on the website, including their associated descriptions and price details.

  • Liability
    • Within the limitations of liability listed below, Kärnten Werbung and individuals and/or companies associated with the same cannot be held liable for damages of any kind (e.g. loss of profit, fruitless expenses, damages arising from loss of data, loss of earnings) from the use of the website.  

    • This exclusion of liability refers, in particular, to all damage caused by the use of the website, the temporary or permanent unavailability of the website (downtime), the limited availability of the website and/or its contents, the incorrect presentation of content and the display of third-party content and hyperlinks on the website. Moreover, Kärnten Werbung bears no liability whatsoever in cases where use of the website causes damage to hardware and/or software or other files. 

    • Kärnten Werbung assumes no obligation to keep the website and its services available at all times. Kärnten Werbung is entitled to suspend its services, e.g. for maintenance purposes, for the required amount of time. Temporary restrictions of services may occur, in particular, as a result of force majeure, industrial action, lockouts, official instructions, technical changes to the facilities of Kärnten Werbung and any other measures required for proper or improved operation (e.g. servicing, repairs, etc.). The user cannot derive any claims from such instances, although Kärnten Werbung will endeavour to ensure quick rectification of the fault.

    • Kärnten Werbung also offers its website users services (e.g. information) that have been provided, created or otherwise made available by third parties. Where possible, Kärnten Werbung shall endeavour not to let the operation of its website violate any third-party rights, in particular, but not exclusively, copyright, exploitation or trademark rights or any other rights of use. Kärnten Werbung, however, accepts no liability that the services used by users (such as information) are free from third-party rights, in particular, but not exclusively, from copyright, exploitation or trademark rights or any other rights of use. It bears no liability for any damage that might occur as a result.

    • Kärnten Werbung endeavours to ensure that all price details on the website are correct, complete and up-to-date. However, as Kärnten Werbung receives price details from third parties, it is not in a position to verify their correctness. In particular, such details are subject to regular changes. Kärnten Werbung therefore accepts no liability that price details on the website are correct, complete and up-to-date.

    • This exclusion of liability (in particular in the preceding paragraphs) applies irrespective of any grounds for claims that may be asserted for slight negligence and – if asserted by a business – also for gross negligence. Exclusion of liability covers both contractual and non-contractual claims. It does not extend to personal injury, mandatory legal liability provisions or intentional damage.

  • Hyperlinks
    • Kärnten Werbung has no control over the design or modification of linked websites or their content. Where hyperlinks from the website refer to third-party content, these do not constitute an evaluation of the linked content. In particular, Kärnten Werbung accepts no liability whatsoever for the accuracy, completeness, legality or objectivity of such content, or that it is up-to-date. 

    • Access to information reached through hyperlinks on the website is the exclusive responsibility of the user. Should a user notice that a link refers to legally problematic content, they are kindly requested to notify Kärnten Werbung about the link by e-mail to info@kaernten.at in order for it to be removed as soon as possible.

  • Booking & More
  • Changes to these terms and conditions of use
    • Kärnten Werbung has the right to adapt and update these terms and conditions of use and all other legal texts on the website at any time and without prior notice. The current version of these terms and conditions is binding.

    • All site users should regularly review these terms and conditions and the related legal requirements to be aware of any changes.

  • Place of jurisdiction, place of performance and applicable law
    •    The relationship between Kärnten Werbung and the website user is subject exclusively to Austrian law, excluding the UN Sales Convention (CISG) and national conflict-of-law provisions.

    •    The place of performance for all claims and obligations is the registered office of Kärnten Werbung. If the user is a business person, the court of law with jurisdiction for Klagenfurt am Wörthersee shall have exclusive jurisdiction for any disputes that may arise from or in connection with the use of the website and its content. If the user is a consumer within the definition of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (Konsumentenschutzgesetz) and their place of residence, habitual abode or employment is located in Austria, they can only be taken to the court of law with jurisdiction for the area where their place of residence, habitual abode or employment lies.

  • Severability and miscellaneous provisions
    •    Website users who are business persons are subject to the following provision: Should individual provisions of these terms and conditions of use become null and void or ineffective, then this shall not affect the legal validity of the remaining provisions; in such a case provisions shall be deemed to have been concluded that are legally valid and come as close as possible to the original objective of Kärnten Werbung. If written form is required, transmission by fax or e-mail is sufficient.
