Availability of the website

 

The user has no claim to availability of the website. Signite GmbH endeavors to guarantee an availability of 97% based on the calendar year.

Not included in the target time are maintenance times required for the maintenance of the system and interruptions for offline backups in each case within reasonable limits (industry standard) as well as interruptions due to force majeure or other causes for which the website is not responsible, due to intent or gross negligence.

Signite GmbH points out

that errors can lead to the temporary shutdown of the websites,

that the availability of these websites is dependent on conditions and services beyond the control of Signite GmbH, such as transmission capacities and telephone connections between the individual parties. Signite GmbH is not responsible for any disruptions in this area.
