§5 Responsibility for the content of the Customer
(1) The customer is responsible for all produced or published contents on his Image Hosting Service, using his access code or by third parties. A general monitoring or verification of such contents is not provided by NeptuneLabs.
(2) Due to the nature of the service offered, NeptuneLabs cannot prevent the retrieval of images, which the client has added to the service. This is basically available to third parties without knowledge of the access data of the hosting accounts. It is therefore the client’s responsibility to only include such images to the service, to which he is entitled and agrees to publish (up to the resolution of the uploaded original image).
(3) NeptuneLabs does not review the contents of clients, also whether claims of others are or are not justified. On the internet it is common, that requests of any credible third party to close resp. block data are met, until a court clarifies and announces a verdict.
