When using the WAGO Websites, the user accepts the applicability of the respective version of these General Terms and Conditions of Use. If you, as the user, do not agree to these General Terms and Conditions of Use, you should not use the WAGO Websites. These General Terms and Conditions of Use may be supplemented, modified or superseded in individual cases through other terms and conditions, such as for the purchase of products and/or services.
1.2 WAGO keeps certain non-binding information and software, possibly along with any documentation (“Content”), available for retrieval or download on the WAGO Websites which are without any claim to completeness. WAGO is entitled at any time to discontinue operation of the WAGO Websites or modify the content in full or in part. Due to the nature of the internet and of computer systems, WAGO assumes no responsibility for the uninterrupted availability of the WAGO Websites.

WAGO is entitled to terminate the access authorization at any time by terminating and blocking the access data, unless otherwise agreed with the User. WAGO may in particular terminate and block the access if the User has provided false information with registration, has violated these General Terms of Use or his due diligence in handling the access data, has violated applicable law in accessing or using the Content and/or the WAGO Websites or has not used the WAGO Websites for an extended period.

2.1 When using the WAGO Websites, the user may not (i) harm individuals, particularly minors, or violate their personal rights, (ii) offend common decency through the user’s behaviour, (iii) infringe intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights, (iv) transmit content with viruses, so-called Trojan horses or other programming that can damage software, (v) input, store or send hyperlinks or content for which the user is not authorized, particularly when such hyperlinks or content breach confidentiality obligations or are unlawful, (vi) or disseminate advertising or unsolicited e-mails (so-called “spam”) or improper warnings against viruses, malfunctions and the like or invite participation in sweepstakes, pyramid schemes, chain letters, Ponzi schemes and comparable promotions.
2.2 The WAGO Websites may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites. WAGO assumes no responsibility for the content of such websites, nor does WAGO espouse such websites and their content because WAGO does not monitor the linked information, nor is it responsible for the content and information provided there. The use of such third-party websites is at the user’s own risk.
2.3 If Content is provided free of charge, liability is excluded for material defects and defects of title for the Content, particularly as to its correctness, accuracy, freedom from third-party intellectual property rights, completeness and/or usability—except in cases of intentional tort or fraud.
2.4 The information on the WAGO Websites may contain specifications or general descriptions of technical capabilities of products, which do not always exist in the individual case (e.g. because of product changes). The desired performance characteristics of the products must therefore be stipulated on a case-by-case basis at the time of purchase.
2.5 Although WAGO constantly endeavours to keep the WAGO Websites virus-free, WAGO does not guarantee freedom from viruses. In using the WAGO Websites, the user agrees that the use occurs at his own discretion and risk and that the user will take its own protective measures against viruses. For the user’s own protection and to prevent viruses on the WAGO Websites, the user shall arrange for appropriate security devices and virus scanners before downloading Content.
2.6 Subject to the provisions in sections 2.2 through 2.5 of these General Terms and Conditions of Use, WAGO is liable according to the statutory provisions. (a) for intentional acts, fraud or gross negligence, (b) for loss of life, bodily injury or injury to health, and (c) in other cases of mandatory legal liability. For a breach of material duties that is not intentional or due to gross negligence, WAGO's liability is limited to the typical and foreseeable damage. Apart from this, the liability of WAGO (especially for indirect and consequential damage) is excluded.
