Without prior written consent from the WALTER GROUP, its website content (including trademarks, designs, images, texts and parts thereof) may not be altered, copied, reproduced, used, amended or otherwise exploited. The reproduction, exploitation or application of those materials which are expressly offered for use shall be exempted from the above prohibition.

I.3. Liability

The website partially includes some SSL certificates from SwissSign. The SSL certificates from SwissSign include an effective encryption of user data during transmission to the web server and the identification of the provider (WALTER GROUP), as well as the authentification of the website's authenticity for protection against phishing.
The user declares that the general provisions of the SwissSign Gold CP/CPS (repository.swisssign.com) and the SwissSign Gold End User Agreement (repository.swisssign.com) are known to him and that he has read and accepted these and will comply with them. The WALTER GROUP disclaims all liability to the user in connection with the use of SSL certificates.

(1) Some services (e.g. LOADS TODAY, customer platform CONNECT, CONTAINEX portal) are only accessible for registered users. After a user registers and the WALTER GROUP verifies the registration, the user receives a password enabling him to access the user account.

(2) Users are responsible for safeguarding password secrecy and any other such similar information if applicable, as well as for all activities that result from the user account. Any unauthorised use of a user account or other breach of security must be reported to the WALTER GROUP immediately. The user´s partner number is required for the registration of user accounts and/or subscription applications. Users are not authorised to disclose or provide partner numbers or passwords to other persons. Any such password disclosure by a user may result in deletion of the user account and/or cancellation of his subscription.

(3) Data, content and information provided to a user on the basis of his user account may not be passed on to unauthorised third parties.

(4) The WALTER GROUP reserves the right to authorise or reject registration of or application for a subscription service without stating its reasons therefor. Furthermore, the WALTER GROUP is entitled to block any user account or any subscribed service without stating its reasons therefor.
