1.General provisions
These terms govern the use of the website ashworth.de, operated by Ashworth Counsel, Kettwiger Straße 44, 45127 Essen, Germany. By opening the site or sending an enquiry through it you accept these terms in the version published at the time of your visit. We may amend the terms to reflect changes in our services or in the law, and the current version is always available on this page.
2.Intellectual property
All texts, layouts, graphics, photographs and the firm's name and monogram on this site are protected by copyright and related rights and remain the property of Ashworth Counsel or its licensors. You may view and print pages for your own personal or internal business use, but reproduction, distribution or publication in any other form requires our prior written permission. Short quotations are permitted where the source is named and a link to the original page is given.
3.Services and liability
The content of this website is general information about our practice and does not constitute legal advice or a binding offer; an attorney-client relationship arises only once a written engagement has been agreed. We take care to keep the information accurate and current, but we accept no liability for decisions taken on the basis of the site alone or for temporary unavailability caused by technical maintenance. Our liability for damage arising from use of the site is limited to intent and gross negligence, except where mandatory German law provides otherwise, in particular for injury to life, body or health.
4.Governing law
These terms and any dispute arising from the use of this website are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Where the user is a merchant, a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law, the courts of Essen shall have exclusive jurisdiction. Consumers retain the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of their country of residence, and if any clause of these terms proves invalid, the remaining clauses continue to apply unchanged.
