horvath-partners.com is used as a corporate website and consists of various individual country-specific websites. These Terms of Use apply to the individual country-specific websites, unless individual terms of use exist for them. The country-specific websites can be viewed via the service bar at the top right. These individual websites are defined below in the Terms of Use as "website".

By using and viewing this website, the user agrees to the Terms of Use. If the user does not agree to these Terms of Use, the user is not permitted to use this website and must stop using it immediately.

1. Content of the online offer

The content and functions of the website are provided on the understanding that the website is intended solely to provide information and materials about and from Horváth and its various business divisions and that Horváth does not provide any professional advice or services to the user. The user is solely responsible for the use of all content on the website and acknowledges that any reliance on the content of the website is solely at the user's own risk.

All content in this website and all services offered through this website are provided on an "as is" basis. Horváth makes no warranty or representation as to the accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided (whether express or implied) and is under no obligation to update it. Horváth does not verify that this website, the various information made available via this website, or any other material downloaded from this website is accurate, up-to-date, error-free, complete or free from viruses or other harmful components.

2. References and links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites ("links") that lie outside Horváth's area of responsibility, a liability obligation would only come into force if Horváth had knowledge of the content and it was technically possible and reasonable for it to prevent use in the case of illegal content. Horváth hereby expressly declares that no illegal content was recognizable on the linked pages at the time the links were created. Horváth has no influence of any kind on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. Horváth therefore expressly distances itself from all contents of all linked pages that were changed after the link was created. This statement applies to all links and references set within Horváth's own website as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by Horváth. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and in particular for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information, only the provider of the page to which reference is made is liable, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

3. Copyright and trademark law

Copyright and all intellectual property rights associated with the website, including but not limited to design, text, images, videos, objects, applications, advertising rights, trademarks, logos, copyrights and patents are the sole property of Horváth or third parties. Horváth endeavors to observe the copyrights of the graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts created by Horváth itself or to make use of license-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. All brands and trademarks mentioned on the website and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere reference to trademarks does not imply that they are not protected by third-party rights. Except as provided herein, Horváth does not grant the user any express or implied rights or licenses to the intellectual property of Horváth or third parties. 

On the individual country-specific websites, the local material and information is subject to the copyright © of the respective local company. All rights are reserved by Horváth and its affiliated companies.

This right of use does not include any resale or commercial use of the website or its contents, any derivative use of the website or its contents, or any use of data mining, robots or similar data gathering and extraction tools, including by crawling or scraping (whether automatic or otherwise). Nor may the user use the website or the content of the website to develop any programs or generative AI tools, including but not limited to training or using the content of the website in connection with the development or operation of a machine learning or artificial intelligence system.

Nothing contained on this website should be construed as granting, expressly, by implication, or otherwise, any license or right to use any intellectual property of Horváth or any third party, except as expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

5. Exclusions of liability

Horváth rejects, to the extent permitted by law and except in cases of proven willful misconduct or gross negligence, any liability to users with respect to the content and use or non-use of this website and the information provided, or arising from the use of incorrect or incomplete information. In no event shall Horváth be liable for any damages, losses, claims, damages or special, exemplary, punitive, direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any kind (including, but not limited to, lost profits or lost savings), whether based on contract, tort, strict liability or any other basis, arising out of or in any way connected with the use of the website or the content contained therein.

Horváth expressly reserves the right to amend, delete or supplement these Terms of Use from time to time without notifying the user.
