Website Guide

Please read the following website guide carefully before using our service or making use of our services.

This is not binding legal advice or information, but merely a brief guide or information that we have compiled from various sources. For binding legal advice, we ask you to consult a lawyer or attorney!

If you want to use our services, you have to be aware that your internet presence comes with rights (such as IT and liability laws) that you have to observe and that you have to consider the legal problems that websites can arise. We stay away from content that could give rise to liability and explicitly avoid the ‚Disclaimer‘ and ‚Privacy Policy‘ pages and all other legally problematic content. We would therefore like to point out again that you have to observe certain legal points with regard to your web presence. This is not, however, binding legal advice or information, but merely a short guide or tip that we have compiled from various sources and that you, as an artist owning a web presence / homepage / website / web page, need to be aware of. This information is provided without guarantee. For explicit legal advice, we recommend that the artist consult a lawyer in order to find out more about the legally problematic parts of the service. The corresponding services are not part of the contract. These can be found as additional services for a fee, for example, at: https://www.easyRechtssicher.de oder https://.eRecht24.de (the German legal experts are usually more strict, you can also use the generator for english version).

Advice: Content

The Artist alone is responsible for providing the content for their web presence / website. The submitted content may include various types of material, such as texts, images, moving images, video files, audio files, links, plans, maps, names, etc.

The Artist must independently verify and ensure whether any third-party rights apply to the content they provide and, if so, whether they hold the necessary rights (such as usage rights for self-promotion) to make such content available.

The provider is neither responsible nor liable for the artist’s content. It is not within the provider’s discretion to review any content on the artist’s website(s) for third-party rights (such as images, video clips, music tracks, etc.).

The artist is solely liable and responsible for the content of his/her website. The website(s) must not contain any copyright-infringing and/or illegal content. In the event of violations, we reserve the right to terminate the internet connection without notice and/or take the site offline or remove it. We are authorized to remove the artist’s homepage from the internet (if necessary until the matter is resolved) if we are reported by a third party due to illegal content or actions by the artist, for example, or due to misleading information, third-party rights, etc.

Note: Third Party Rights

Before applying for a domain, the artist must check and be sure that there is no infringement of rights with regard to the desired or ordered domain (e.g. no third-party rights exist and/or violate applicable law).

The artist must check and ensure whether the content he provides is subject to any third-party rights and, if so, whether he has the rights (such as the right to use it for self-promotion) to provide it.

The artist must check whether he needs to add evidence to his content, such as image credits.

The artist may not take any actions and/or forward or provide any content for the creation of the websites that violate the rights of third parties (in particular copyright, personality rights, name rights, trademark rights).

Advice: Disclaimer & Privacy Policy

Websites may be subject to Disclaimer or Imprint requirements and must comply with the privacy policy / data protection (GDPR) guidelines of the respective country. The obligation to provide imprints lies with the artist. This also includes complying with data protection guidelines, adhering to them, and keeping them up to date. The artist must ensure that all imprint information required by the business form, activity, and/or other regulations, including any changes, is provided by the artist, and that all necessary data regarding the imprint is truthfully communicated/submitted to the provider in writing for the provider’s records, and also state this information himself under the imprint. The artist can use pre-made imprint templates or an imprint generator to create the imprint for his website. He can also use a data protection generator to create data protection references. The artist can find these on internet platforms such as for example: https://www.e-recht24.de. There the artist will also find more information about the Disclaimer, Imprint and Privacy Policy (as well in english).

The provider assumes no warranty and/or liability for the imprint and/or privacy policy. The contact information in the imprint must be the artist’s contact information. The same principle applies to the privacy policy on the artist’s website. The artist is responsible for ensuring this upon acceptance of their website.

The artist is solely responsible for the content (this includes, for example, the content, texts, images, moving images, video files, audio files, links, etc.) and the artist solely provides the material for his content, which the artist makes available on his website. The artist is also responsible for checking this himself for legal admissibility. The provider is not obligated to check the artist’s websites for the content provided for possible legal violations and/or the infringement of third-party rights. The provider is not obligated to change or review this content, or to translate it into other languages. The provider is only obligated to create the website with the content provided by the provider [e.g. texts or links] and, if requested (depending on the service provided in the selected package), to integrate this into the artist’s website. The artist warrants that he/she owns all rights or licenses thereto and that he/she indemnifies us against all claims that may be brought against us by third parties for violations within the meaning of Section 1. The artist is liable for his/her website.

Advice: Other Legal Matters

The artist is obligated not to take any actions and/or to forward or provide any content for the creation of the website that violates legal prohibitions or common decency (in particular racist, right-wing extremist, xenophobic or otherwise objectionable content).

The artist indemnifies the provider from all third-party claims regarding their data. If a claim is made against the provider, the artist will defend the provider and support the provider in every way, and will reimburse the provider for all costs incurred by the provider if the provider is held liable as a third-party infringer (e.g., for damages, injunctions, revocation, etc.), for example, due to illegal content that the artist has provided on their website.

The design of the artist’s website is made available by the provider for (partial) approval. Once the artist has been notified, they are obliged to submit any objections in text form (in accordance with § 14 of the Estonian Law of Obligations Act – VÕS) within a maximum of eight (8) working days. If no response is received within this period, the project shall be deemed accepted in accordance with § 116 of the Estonian Law of Obligations Act.

The artist must notify the provider immediately if the artist loses the rights to a domain registered for him.

The artist is not allowed to use his website and everything related to it for spam purposes.

The artist is obliged to comply with all applicable regulations of the country in which he operates his artist homepage.

The artist has read the Artist Homepage Guide from the provider’s website under https://marketing.artisdo.com/website-guide and https://marketing.artisdo.com/guide and understood them.
