THE PARTIES' RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

3.  The Local undertakes, subject to the limitations laid out below, to provide the Advertiser with a page ('the Page') in the Marketplace section of thelocal.de which may be used by the Advertiser to promote its business. The Page will have a standard style and format decided by The Local.

7.  Only the Advertiser may publish information on its Page. It is not permitted for a third party to publish on the Advertiser's Page.

o   Contain material which in some other way contravenes the law of Germany.

12. The Local reserves the right to close the Advertiser's account and to remove or edit the Advertiser's page if the material falls into any of the categories named in paragraph 7 above, or if the material is in any other way judged by The Local to be inappropriate for publication.

13. The Advertiser agrees to indemnify The Local from and against any costs, claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, damages and settlement amounts arising from its use of the Service. The Local shall not be held liable by the Advertiser for any claims deriving from demands from a third party relating to the content of the Advertiser's Page, including but not limited to costs related to violation of intellectual property rights, unauthorised use of commercially confidential information or other applicable laws.

14. The Local reserves the right to display advertisements around all Pages. Advertisements may be in the form of banners or any other form of advertisement used by internet publications. The Advertiser does not have the right to decide which advertisements will be displayed nor how or where on the page they are displayed. 

15. The Local may, in the course of marketing the Service, publish material from The Local's Pages in other media, either in Germany or abroad, without providing compensation to the Advertiser. The material may be presented either in edited form or in its entirety. 

16. The Local reserves the right to without notice change these terms and conditions. Any changes to the terms and conditions will be communicated to the Advertiser via email and on the Advertiser's account management page.
