§ 5 Compensation for damages
(1) Our liability for damages, irrespective of the legal basis, in particular from impossibility, delay, defective or incorrect publication, infringement of the contract, breach of obligations in the case of contractual negotiations and tortious acts shall be in accordance with § 5 limited. This shall also apply insofar as the User requires replacement of useless expenditures instead of a claim for compensation. Insofar as the limitations on liability in this section 5 do not interfere, we shall be liable for damages according to the statutory provisions.
(3) Insofar as we are liable for damages according to § 3 (2), this liability is limited to damages which we foresee at the conclusion of the contract as a possible consequence of a breach of contract or taking into account the circumstances which were known to us or which we should have anticipated with the application of customary diligence. Indirect damages and consequential damages are not substitutable.
(5) The limitations of liability in § 5 do not apply to liability for intent or gross negligence.
§ 6 Effectiveness of the contractual provisions; severability clause
(1) The possible invalidity of one or more provisions of this contract shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
(2) An invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision whose effect comes as close as possible to the economic objective which the contracting parties pursued with the invalid or unenforceable provision. The above provisions shall apply accordingly in the event that the contract proves to be incomplete.
§ 7 Jurisdiction – applicable law
(1) Hanover (Germany) shall be the court of jurisdiction for all disputes arising directly or indirectly from the business relationship between the IPLR and the User.

Compounded review discounts can be settled against the publication fee of a paper. If a paper requires revision and subsequent re-examination by the reviewer, the second review is covered by the agreed review discount for the first review and is not remunerated additionally. The IPLR is entitled to change the amount of the review discount at any time without prior agreement. The review discounts received expire after 24 months if they are not used or charged for a publication. The review discounts are not transferable to other institutions or not associated users.

According to the agreed license (see § 13 (6)), the author is entitled to publish the paper on other platforms after publication on publish-Ing. as long as they allow multiple publications.
If a user wants to publish a paper on publish-Ing. that has already been published on another platform or another journal, the user confirms with the upload that he is entitled to multiple publication and that no rights of third parties are violated. The responsibility for conflict-free publication lies with the user.
