Terms of Use

Contents of this Website
This website is clearly operated in the name of Edition Café de Nuit. By entering this website, you automatically agree to the terms set forth in these Terms of Use. Your use of this web site is "as is", meaning that Edition Café de Nuit assumes no warranties, express or implied, that the material contained or referred to on this website is always current, error-free or all around wonderful. In fact, you may find it miserable, and yet there is nothing anyone is going to do about it. In other words, Edition Café de Nuit shall not be held liable in any way for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages and expenses whatsoever (including without limitation, health problems, lost profits, and lost data) that may be in any way connected with the use of the edition-cafe-de-nuit.com site, or for any information, products or services obtained through this website.
We’ll not mince word with you. Next to nothing on this underdog website is to be taken at face value, and except for the prices, nothing is binding. It is in this sense that we at Edition Café de Nuit reserve the right to change any of these terms in the future as we may see fit, to make cuts or amendment, to doll the website up or to reseed it with lawn, or to throw in the towel altogether and discontinue operation of this whole shebang temporarily or altogether. So there.

Links to Other Websites
Edition Café de Nuit has provided links with other internet sites that are maintained by third parties, and may from time to time provide materials from such third party sites on this Web site. Edition Café de Nuit does not in any way control the material contained on or the services or products offered through such third party sites. These terms and conditions apply solely to the edition-café-de-nuit.com site. At the time we set the links the other websites seemed like the very epitome of propriety and worthy vessels for their priceless information. Nonetheless, you should always review the terms and conditions of any site that you access through a link from this site (not that there are that many anyway), because we really have no idea to what kind of devilry other people are up to in our absence. It seems perfectly reasonable that the person running a website would be responsible for the harm done by its contents or use, and not the person referring to that harmful website by means of a stupid little link, don’t you think? So don’t mess with us.

Copyright Ownership
This site contains material that is owned by Edition Café de Nuit and/or the persons and animals it represents, including the odalisque logo, the underdog image and the image of Uncle Franklin. It goes without saying almost that thou shalt not copy, reproduce, or distribute any of the material on this website, be it in printed or electronic or some other new unheard-of form without first obtaining the explicit consent of Edition Café de Nuit. Provided that you retain an appropriate copyright and proprietary notice, you may download material for your personal, non-commercial use, or for publicity purposes. Actually, these are not difficult rules.

Privacy
There is really no opportunity on this website for you to disclose personal information, unless, of course, you do decide to one or the other book or to write us a note. Supposing it came to that, we would jealously guard your bits of private data like the soup bone buried in the floor of the dog kennel. No one would get to see it, no one would get to chew on it. Trust us in this. In turn, Edition Café de Nuit would appreciate it if information revealed here (contact details, imprint, little secrets) were kept just between you and us and not be peddled to any third party. If anyone sends us spam, we shall sic the dogs on him (or our attorney). That person would never hear the end of it. Arrrrgh

Jurisdiction and Severability
This disclaimer and the contents discussed so elaborately are subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The place of jurisdiction shall be Berlin, Germany. If any article of this agreement is considered unlawful, void or unenforceable, well, then that article needs to be severed from the disclaimer, while the remainder of the agreement remains in effect. It is sort of self-explanatory, or did you want to pick bones with us?

Adult Contents
This website as well as the publications it represents contain some adult material in the form of female nudity. It also contains at least one link to other websites showing such hellish material. German legislation governing the protection of minors mandates that persons under the age of 18 be discouraged from accessing this sort of content. As there is no way to monitor the legal age of visitors to this website, we encourage parents and guardians to get involved with their children's online usage and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating. And hey, this might be a good time to reveal to them that even women may occasionally find themselves out of the last shirt. Just to be on the safe side, we deny any responsibility for visits to this website by persons below the age of 18. We’re supposed to state this. No other reason.

Data Protection Statement

The operator of these internet pages (hereinafter referred to as “the operator” and “the website”) takes the protection of your personal data very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with Germany’s statutory data protection regulations and this Data Protection Statement.
Use of this website is generally possible without submitting personal data. To the extent that these website pages require personal data (such as your name, address or email address), these are provided by you, wherever possible, on a strictly voluntary basis. This kind of data will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent.
Please note that the data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) may be subject to security gaps. A complete protection of data against third-party access is not possible.
This Data Protection Statement (hereinafter referred to as “the Statement”) clarifies the type, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data (hereinafter referred to as “the data”) within this online service and its associated websites, functions and contents as well as external online presences, such as your own social media profiles (hereinafter referred to jointly as “the online service”). As far as the use of certain terms goes, such as “processing” or “controller,” this Statement follows the terminology defined in Art. 4, German Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

General

Responsible Party (“Operator”)
Georg Guillemin
Friedbergstrasse 16
14057 Berlin, Germany

Definitive Legal Bases
In accordance with Art. 13, GDPR, you hereby receive information on the legal basis of data processing by the Operator. Whenever no other lawful basis is specified in the Statement, the following shall apply: The lawful bases for obtaining consent are Art. 6, Sec. 1, Letter a and Art. 7, GDPR, while the lawful basis for processing data to deliver the Operator’s services and to perform contractually agreed services as well as to answer queries is Art. 6, Sec. 1, Letter b, GDPR, the lawful basis for meeting our legal obligations is Art. 6, Sec. 1, Letter c, GDPR, while the lawful basis for data processing to protect the Operator’s legitimate interests is Art. 6, Sec. 1, Letter f, GDPR. In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6, Sec. 1, Letter d, GDPR, shall serve as legal basis.

Cooperation with Contract Processors and Third Parties
To the extent that the Operator discloses data to other persons and companies (contract processors or third parties) within the scope of its own processing, transfers such data to them or otherwise grants them access to the data, this shall presuppose that a legal permission is in place (e.g. if a transfer of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, pursuant to Art. 6, Sec. 1 Letter b, GDPR, is necessary for the performance of the contract), if you have consented to this, if a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of the Operator’s legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If the Operator commissions third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called “order processing contract,” such processing shall be done on the basis of Art. 28, GDPR.

Transfers to Third Countries
If the Operator processes data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this is done in the context of the use of third party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this is only done to fulfil the Operator’s (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, a legal obligation or on the basis of the Operator’s legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, the data will only be processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44, GDPR, are met. This means that processing takes place, for example, on the basis of specific guarantees, such as the officially recognised establishment of a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU (e.g. for the USA through the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognised specific contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).

Rights of Data Subjects
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether the data in question will be processed and to be notified about the data processing and to receive detailed information and a copy of that data in accordance with Art. 15, GDPR.
Pursuant to Art. 16, GDPR, you have the right to request the completion of data concerning you or the correction of incorrect data concerning you.
Pursuant to Art. 17, GDPR, you have the right to demand that the relevant data be deleted immediately or, alternatively, to demand a restriction on the processing of the data pursuant to Art. 18, GDPR.
You have the right to request receipt of the data concerning you which you provided to the Operator in accordance with Art. 20, GDPR, and to demand that it be transferred to other responsible parties.
Pursuant to Art. 77, GDPR, you also have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Right of Revocation
You have the right to revoke consents granted pursuant to Art. 7, Sec. 3, GDPR, with effect for the future.

Right to Object
You may object to future processing of the data concerning you in accordance with Art. 21, GDPR, at any time.
