(1) Confidential information shall be all documents and information of the information owner which are the subject of technical and organizational measures of secrecy and are marked as confidential or are to be regarded as confidential according to the type of information or the circumstances of transmission, such as, in particular, business secrets, manufacturing processes, know-how, inventions, business relationships, business strategies, business plans, financial data, personnel matters as well as digitally embodied information (data and databases).

a) was already known to an undefined circle of persons outside the information owner at the time of its transmission to the information recipient,
b) which become public knowledge after having been communicated to the recipient of the information, insofar as this disclosure is not due to a violation of this agreement or of a law by the recipient of the information or a person associated with him/her,
c) which was already known to the recipient of the information at the time of the conclusion of this agreement, insofar as this knowledge is not due to a violation of a law or another agreement between the parties by the recipient of the information or a person associated with him/her,
d) which was disclosed to the recipient of information by a third party after the conclusion of this agreement, insofar as such information from the third party was not acquired in violation of a law or this agreement or any other agreement between the parties.
(3) The recipient of the information is prohibited from using confidential information of the holder of the information which has become known to him/her within the framework of the contract. In particular, the recipient of the information is prohibited from exploiting the information for competitive purposes or other purposes of his/her own. If the information has been disclosed to the recipient of the information by the information owner within the framework of the contract, the recipient of the information may use it exclusively for the purpose of transmitting information within the framework of this contract.
(4) The recipient of confidential information is obligated to keep the information secret and to protect it appropriately against unauthorized access (such as by hacking) for the duration of the contract. Data security that corresponds to the state of the art and at least meets the requirements of Art. 32 GDPR for the processing of special categories of personal data (within the meaning of Art. 9 GDPR) shall be deemed adequate. This obligation shall also apply beyond the termination of the contract, without any time limit, until the final deletion of the confidential information.

§ 20 Liability of the Provider
(1) The provider shall not be liable for slightly negligent breaches of duty, provided that these do not concern duties essential to the contract or the provider has assumed a guarantee for the fulfillment of this duty or a certain outcome that did not occur due to the breach of duty. This also applies to corresponding actions of the provider's vicarious agents and bodies.
(2) This exclusion of liability does not apply to injuries to life, limb or health or to claims under the Product Liability Act.
(3) Any liability of the provider arising from a grossly negligent breach of duty or a grossly negligent tort is limited to the damage foreseeable for the provider.
(4) This paragraph applies equally to torts committed by the provider's employees and vicarious agents.
(5) The provider is not liable for the content of external links on the provider's website, especially not for advertising information provided by the lecturers.
(6) When content is presented online, the provider is only liable for the proper feeding of the data into the internet at its access point. The provider is not liable if the properly fed data does not reach the user in sufficient quality. In particular, the provider is not liable for the user's reception configuration or errors with network operators.
(7) Coaching is a collaborative process, and the provider does not guarantee specific outcomes, as results depend significantly on the coachee's participation, effort, and commitment to implementing the recommendations provided during the coaching process. The provider’s role is to guide and support, but success is ultimately the responsibility of the coachee.
(8) The providers opinions and recommendations only prepare the business or personal decisions of the coachee. They can never replace them.
(9) The coachee is entitled to the statutory rights. 
(10) For my coaching activities, I have a liability insurance for the territory of Germany with with Signal Iduna Insurance, up to the amount of 3.000.000 €.

§ 21 Data Protection
(1) For the contract, contractual data are collected in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR (for example name, address and e-mail address, possibly also services used and all other electronically or for the purpose of storage transmitted data, which are required for the performance of the contract), insofar as they are required for the conclusion, negotiation or amendment of a contract.
(2) The contractual data will only be passed on to third parties insofar as it is necessary to perform the contract (in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR), for the overwhelming interest in an effective performance (in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR) or if consent has been given (in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR) or if there is another statutory permission. The data will not be passed on to a country outside of the EU, unless the EU Commission has determined a similar level of data protection as in the EU, consent has been provided or standard contractual provisions have been agreed with the third-party provider.
(3) Persons concerned have the right, at any time, to:
revoke a consent granted in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. The data processing based on this consent may then no longer be carried out, but the revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to that point.
(5) The data will generally only remain stored as long as the purpose of the respective data processing requires it. Storage beyond that time is possible if it is necessary to pursue legal claims or for legitimate interests or in cases of a statutory obligation to store the data for longer (for example tax-law requirements to maintain records, statute of limitations).

§ 22 Arbitration, Mediation
(1) Online dispute resolution pursuant to Art. 14 (1) ODR Regulation: The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which you can find at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Here you can enter into the out-of-court settling of consumer disputes arising from online contracts. We are not willing or obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
(2) However, the provider participates in independent mediation. In case of disputes arising from the business relationship between the provider and the user, the parties are obliged to strive for an amicable solution. If an agreement cannot be reached, they undertake to settle their differences in mediation before resorting to legal action. The possibility of summary proceedings by way of interim legal protection shall remain unaffected. The mere non-payment of remuneration without plausible reasons shall not constitute a dispute within the meaning of this provision.
