1. Contents of the online offer
The authors do not assume any liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the authors, which refer to material or immaterial nature, caused by use or disuse of the information or the use of incorrect and incomplete information, are fundamentally excluded, provided that it can be proven that damages have not been caused either intentionally or due to gross
negligence on the part of the authors.

All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The authors expressly reserve the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the webpages or the entire offer without prior notice, or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.

2. References and links
The authors are not responsible for any contents linked or referred to from their pages - an obligation of liability would come into effect exclusively in the event that they had prior knowledge of illegal contents and it would have been technically possible and feasible to prevent the visitors of their site from viewing those pages. The authors therefore expressly declare that at the time the links were created, the corresponding linked pages were free of illegal content.

The authors have no influence whatsoever on the current and future design and content of the linked or referenced pages. Therefore, they dissociate themselves hereby expressly from all contents of all linked or connected sites, which were changed after the linking. This statement applies to all links and references set within the authors’ own internet offer. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents, and in particular, for
damages of any kind arising from the use or non-use of such offered information, the provider of the webpage to which reference was made is solely liable, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

3. Copyright and trademark law
The authors endeavour to observe the copyrights of the graphics and texts used in all publications, to use graphics and texts created by themselves or to use license-free graphics and texts.

All brand names and trademarks mentioned on the website and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of brands or trademarks does not imply that these are not protected by the rights of third parties.

The copyright for published objects created by the authors themselves remains solely with the authors of the webpages. Any duplication or use of objects such as diagrams, graphics or texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the authors' prior express agreement.

4. Data protection

The data will not be passed on to third parties, except among the three partners of In-Situ Microscopy Alliance: namely Alemnis AG, Imina Technologies SA, NenoVision s.r.o.

The author and publishers of this website reserve the right to take legal action against senders of so-called spam-mail in the event of any infringement against
this prohibition.

If sections or individual formulations of this text should no longer comply with the effective legal situation or be incomplete, then all other parts of this document remain untouched with regard to their content and its validity.

The responsible party within the meaning of the data protection laws, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), are NenoVision and point electronic.

Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc
(hereafter: Google). Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The purpose of the data processing is to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Further associated services are then to be provided on the basis of the use of the website and the internet. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: Browser Add On to deactivate Google Analytics.

In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking on this link. This will install an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent the collection by Google Analytics for this website and for this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about visitors' use of the map functions. You can find more information about data processing by Google in the Google privacy policy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Centre.

Use of Google web fonts
In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content is displayed in a standard font.

Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible - although it is currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes - that the operators of such libraries collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here.

If a Youtube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behaviour. If you have deactivated the saving of cookies for the Google Ad programme, you will not have to expect any such cookies when watching Youtube videos.
