13. EXTERNAL REFERENCES AND LINKS

In its ruling of 12 May 1998 the first-instance district court of Hamburg provides that in the event of installing a link, the home page owner can, should the need arise, also be held responsible for the content of the linked page. This can - according to the district court - only be prevented by explicitly distancing oneself from this content. We have placed links on different pages of this home page to other web pages. The following applies to all these links:

"Neither Gehirnsoftware nor its Internet editorial department nor the website owner, have any influence on the organisation and/or contents of any of the linked pages on this web page. Gehirnsoftware furthermore would like to stress the fact that it completely rejects any responsibility for the contents of all linked web pages to this home page and further does not necessarily share the same point of view as shown in these linked web pages."

This statement is declared valid for all links placed on our home page, as well as for any web site connected to this web page through Internet links and banners. These web site links are listed as a convenience to our visitors. If you use these links, we take no responsibility and give no guarantees, warranties or representations, implied or otherwise, for the content or accuracy of these third-party sites.

14. ARBITRATION; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the ADR Chambers International ("ADR"). The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, selected in accordance with the rules of the ADR, and judgement on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party has the right to seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Austria in order to protect the rights of such party pending the completion of any arbitration here under, and both parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Austria and venue in Bregenz for any such proceeding. If either party files an action contrary to this provision, the other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to one thousand Euros.

15. GENERAL PROVISIONS: These Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Austria without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different country. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision or portion of these Terms of Service or Privacy Policy to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law, and the remainder of the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, as applicable, will continue in full force and effect. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of such section.
