1. Anyone who creates or modifies content for the wiki as an author is an active user. Anyone who wants to become an active user must register with a user name, a password and an e-mail address.

3. Active and passive users are hereinafter jointly referred to as users.

Unless otherwise indicated, all content on this website is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) This license permits sharing (reproduction and distribution in any format and media) and adaptation (remix, modification and construction on the licensed content) of the licensed content for any purpose, including commercial purposes. This is permitted on the condition that the name of the author is mentioned: Users must affix the appropriate copyright and rights notices, link to the license, and indicate whether any modifications have been made.
5. All brand names and trademarks (e.g. MediaWiki) mentioned on this 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.

Hallo Welt! has not, however, completely checked the contents referred to in the links for their correctness. Hallo Welt! also has no influence on the current and future design and content of the linked pages.
   3. The setting of external links does not mean that Hallo Welt! adopts the contents behind the reference or link as its own and/or is liable for their correctness. A constant control of the external links is not reasonable for Hallo Welt! without concrete evidence of legal violations or content errors and is also not provided for by law.
   4. However, in case of knowledge of legal violations, such external links will be deleted immediately. Should Hallo Welt! becomes aware that links refer to pages with obviously incorrect information, these links will also be deleted immediately.

   2. Each user is responsible for reading the Terms of Use before each use of the wiki and for checking that they are up to date.
   3. The continued use of the platform by logging in after a change to the Terms of Use is deemed to be a declaration of consent by the respective user to the changed Terms of Use.

Rights and obligations of users

1. The active user declares that he/she is either the author of the content used by him/her, in particular the texts, or that he/she has duly acquired the rights to use them.

Hallo Welt! is not obligated to check the legality of content before it is published or to regularly check its Internet pages for possible illegal content. Illegal content is content that offends common decency or general ethical sensibilities or violates intellectual, industrial or other property rights of third parties, in particular copyrights and trademark rights as well as general personal rights.
4. The users of the platform are expressly informed that the dissemination of illegal content may be prosecuted. In such cases, Hallo Welt! is entitled and under certain circumstances obligated to remove such content immediately and to secure it for evidence purposes if it becomes aware of illegal or unlawful content or if it becomes aware of content that offends common decency. In these cases Hallo Welt! is entitled to exclude the respective user from further use of the platform.
5. The user indemnifies Hallo Welt! from all claims of third parties due to the violation of their rights by illegal content posted by the user. In particular, the user must compensate Hallo Welt! for all damages that Hallo Welt! incurs as a result of third parties making claims against Hallo Welt! due to the violation of their rights.
6. A passive user who wishes to use the contents of the wiki for other purposes may use the contents provided that he or she complies with these Terms of Use and, in particular, observes the above-mentioned license information.

Rights and obligations of Hallo Welt!

1. Hallo Welt! makes the wiki available to the public free of charge.
2. However, Hallo Welt! endeavors to maintain the operation of the platform as trouble-free as possible and to further develop it according to the needs of the users.
