User Declaration of Consent

License type: Freeware (Free software for private use)

9.1 General

The program "Planetensuche" is available as freeware exclusively for private, non-commercial use. Commercial or business use (e.g. in a corporate context or resale) is not permitted without prior written permission from the author.

The program (Java bytecode) as well as the included graphics and text may not be modified, decompiled, or redistributed unpacked except by the author, Gerd Gühne. However, texts may be edited locally for private use, provided they are not published.

When using content (program logic, diagrams, text) in your own publications (e.g. term papers or websites), permission must be requested from the author beforehand and the source must always be properly cited. Fundamental data of astronomical objects (e.g. mass, distance, coordinates) are not subject to usage restrictions, as these originate from publicly accessible scientific catalogs.

The copyright of astrophotographs embedded or linked in Planetensuche belongs to the respective photographers or organizations. Unless explicitly permitted otherwise by the respective copyright holder, these images may only be used within the framework of this software.

9.3 Disclaimer of Liability

The software is provided "as is" (AS IS). The author is not liable for the correctness of the content or for any damages resulting from or having resulted from the use of this software.

By using this software, you agree to the above license terms. Otherwise, you must remove Planetensuche from your computer.
