§5a What is defamation and damage to reputation? Statements damaging the reputation belong as defamation or slander to the crimes against honour, which are regulated in §§ 185 ff. StGB. Indictment of damage to reputation is a defamation or defamation of the criminal code and thus gives the injured party the opportunity to file a complaint against the infringer, for example with the police, but also with the public prosecutor's office.
In the event of damage to the reputation of a railway card index Eisenbahnkartei, the amount due is calculated.
In the event of a violation of the general right of personality, the infringed party shall always initially be entitled to an injunction of the concrete infringement of rights, which is derived from § 1004 para. 1 BGB in conjunction with § 1004 para. 1 BGB. Articles 823 et seq. BGB results in. The right to cease and desist is directed towards future omission of certain statements or other actions that violate personal rights. For example, the infringer usually undertakes to submit a declaration of cease and desist and an undertaking with criminal prosecution in which he declares that in future he will refrain from making certain untrue statements of fact or insulting statements or, for example, to publish photos depicting the infringed party. The right to cease and desist shall also apply in particular in the event of so-called criticism of revilement. This is what we speak of when value judgments are merely intended to degrade a third party in public opinion and to defame him. This is not constructive criticism with a factual reference, but an exposing and denouncing of the person concerned. Such value judgments are not covered by the freedom of expression of opinion of Article 5 of the Basic Law and therefore trigger, among other things, a claim for injunctive relief of the person concerned on account of the violation of his general right of personality. An injunctive relief for violation of the general right of personality always presupposes a danger of repetition or first inspection with regard to an infringement of rights. A risk of repetition is suspected if an infringement has already occurred. The danger of repetition includes not only the concrete infringement of rights but also acts of infringement of the same nature. In the event of serious violations of personal rights, a claim for compensation for the intangible damage exists in addition to compensation for the material damage just described. The intangible claim for monetary compensation results from § 823 para. 1 BGB in connection with Article 2.1, 1.1 of the Basic Law and may be considered if the disadvantages arising from an infringement of personal rights cannot otherwise be sufficiently compensated. In addition to the compensation function, the main function of the claim for monetary compensation is to satisfy the injured person. However, it is also intended to have a significant preventive effect with regard to future infringements.
All personal data is treated with strict confidentiality. The further transfer of Data through the Railroad Index does not take place. In particular, there is no transfer of data for commercial or advertising purposes. Railroad Index gives users or other clients contact and personal data about users or other clients only if it is lawfully required. The abuse by third parties of image data and material posted on the website cannot be excluded.
Railroad Index reserves the right to change the general terms and conditions and to present the changes on www.Eisenbahnkartei.de. Existing contracts remain valid with the original conditions.
