Other

The Australian Copyright Act 1968 (and its amendments) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights in the Australian Copyrightyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Astrid infringe your copyright, you or your agent may write to Astrid a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the Copyright Act shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon Astrid's actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the Copyright Act permits you to s to Astrid a counter-notice. All notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the Copyright Act; see https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2016C00146 for details. Astrid’s Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement or counter notices can be reached as follows: braincells[at]web. de

​

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Astrid and our respective assigns, successors, heirs, and legal representatives.

Notwithstanding the preceding, all rights and obligations under this Agreement may be freely posted by Astrid to any affiliated entity or wholly-owned subsidiaries, sole trader ship or employers.

​

These Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of the State of [Western Australia], and any dispute shall be subject to binding arbitration in ­­­[Western Australia]. Suppose any provision of this agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable. In that case, that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

​

Disclaimer

Although highly unlikely, this policy may be changed at any time at our discretion. If I should update this policy, I will post the updates to this page on my Website. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this privacy policy, please direct them to braincells[AT]web.de
