Website Content

The content of this website is created with utmost care. However, BrazilFlair does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the provided contents.

Website Availability

BrazilFlair endeavors to offer the service as uninterruptedly as possible. Despite all care, downtimes cannot be excluded. We reserve the right to change or cease the offer at any time. We cannot assume any liability for interruptions or other disruptions caused by files not created error-free or formats not structured error-free.

Copyright

All contents and structures of this website are protected by copyright and related rights. The publication on the World Wide Web or in other services of the Internet does not imply consent for any other use by third parties. Any utilization not permitted by copyright law requires prior written consent from Brazil in Cologne.

We expressly permit and welcome the quoting of our documents and the setting of links to our website, as long as it is indicated that these are contents of the BrazilFlair website and these contents are not associated with contents of third parties that contradict the interests of BrazilFlair.

Issue of External Links

BrazilFlair, as a content provider according to § 7 Abs.1 Telemedia Act, is responsible for its "own content" that it makes available for use, according to the general laws. This own content is to be distinguished from cross-references ("links") to the content provided by other providers. BrazilFlair thereby provides "external content" for use, which is marked in this way:

Links are always "live" (dynamic) references. BrazilFlair checked the external content for possible civil or criminal liability when the link was first established. However, it does not constantly check the content to which it refers in its offer for changes that could re-establish liability. If it determines or is informed by others that a specific offer to which it has provided a link triggers civil or criminal liability, it will remove the reference to this offer.
