Intellectual Property

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, content, publications, concepts, trademarks, graphics, and design elements are protected and remain the property of FHRA or respective rights holders. No license is granted by mere website access.

Availability and Changes

FHRA may modify, suspend, or update public website content and structure at any time where operational, legal, or institutional requirements require such changes.

You agree to indemnify and hold FHRA harmless from claims, liabilities, and costs resulting from misuse of the website, violation of these terms, or infringement of third-party rights attributable to your actions.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Austria, excluding conflict-of-law rules where legally permissible.

Court of jurisdiction: Competent court in Austria, unless mandatory statutory jurisdiction provisions apply.

Dispute Resolution

Consumers may use the European Online Dispute Resolution platform for dispute settlement.

ODR platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

FHRA is not obliged and does not commit to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board unless required by applicable law.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable, remaining provisions remain in full force to the maximum extent permitted by law.
