Notice regarding the use of the USPA News portal

The USPA news portal was created with utmost care. However, we cannot guarantee that all information is accurate and free of errors, particularly where the publication of addresses, phone numbers and dates is concerned. USPA News assumes no liability for damages that may arise, directly or indirectly, from the use of the news portal, insofar as such damages are not the result of willful intent or gross negligence. Trademarks and company logos published within the pages of USPA News are protected unless otherwise noted.

Contributions bearing the name of the author represent the author's opinion, not the opinion of the editorial team. Consequently, the author bears sole responsibility for the respective contribution. Furthermore, USPA News is not responsible for contributions published in the Customized Beats. As a precaution, USPA News distances itself from all content that is provided within the individual Customized Beats and does not adopt such content as its own. This also applies to all linked pages. Neither the publishers nor the editorial team shall be held liable for information offered in such links. Furthermore, no liability shall be assumed for manuscripts that are sent to us unsolicited. All information is provided to the best of our knowledge, but without guarantee.

Each article and each image published within the pages of USPA News is protected by copyright. Hence, unauthorized use or exploitation in any form is not permitted without prior written approval from the creator and may be subject to criminal proceedings. This includes forms of exploitation such as multiplication, translation, editing, storage, manipulation, reproduction, and the publication of content in databases or other electronic media and systems. Downloads and photocopies made exclusively for private and personal use rather than commercial use do not require prior approval.

Communication via email is vulnerable, unsecured and may be intercepted by third parties or unauthorized persons, who may view and manipulate such messages.  If a provider receives an email, it is to be assumed that the email was meant for the provider and that the provider has the right to reply to the email.  Alternative means of communication may be used; however, this requires express notification.

Note about all links found on the pages of USPA News: According to a decision by the district court of Hamburg, Germany, from May 12, 1998, reference no. 312 O 85/98, website operators may be held responsible for the content of linked websites, provided they do not expressly distance themselves from such content. We establish: "USPA News hereby expressly distances itself from the content of all pages linked to from this website, including all subdomains, and does not adopt such content as its own. This declaration shall apply to all links provided on this website."

No written warning without prior contact! In the event that (property) rights of third parties are being violated on this website, e.g. through trademark or copyright infringement, we ask to be notified immediately. The objectionable passages will be changed or deleted immediately. A warning letter by an attorney is not necessary to ensure rectification of the violation, and USPA News will not reimburse associated expenses. A sufficient need for legal relief is not present. In the event that a warning letter by an attorney is initiated without first establishing contact, any associated expenses shall not be covered by USPA News.

In spite of the greatest care being taken in researching and writing all information on this website, factual errors or omissions may occur. USPA News shall not be liable for such errors. A special relationship of mutual trust between the reader and the provider is not established. Visiting this website does not constitute a contract between the publisher, author, editorial team and website operator, and the user or recipient of the information.
