You are required to provide truthful information and to comply with applicable law.

The service is provided free of charge.

11. Limitation of liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence. For slight negligence, we are only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations and for injury to life, body or health. Liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) remains unaffected.

Personal data is collected, stored and processed only for the proper provision of the service. MAC addresses and log files are stored for up to 7 days.
