The editor cannot be held responsible in case of difficulty, fault, failure, or interruption of website operation, which prevents access to the website or one of its functionalities.
The hardware which the user employs to access the site is entirely their own responsibility. The user should take all appropriate measures to protect their hardware and data, particularly from virus attacks. Users alone are responsible for the websites and data that they consult.
The editor cannot be held responsible in the case of legal proceedings brought against the user:

The editor is not responsible for any damages caused to the user, third parties and/or the user’s hardware as a result of their connection to or use of the website. The user hereby waives the possibility of taking any action against the editor for this.

Regardless, any links should be withdrawn upon the editor’s simple request.
Any information accessible via a link to other websites is not under the editor’s control. The editor accepts no responsibility for external content.
