The German town of Sindelfingen hasn’t officially been chosen to host the inaugural 2004 World Indoor Masters Championships. Indeed, WMA has not even officially scheduled a 2004 WC indoor meet. But WMA Emperor Torsten Carlius already is touting the event Web site. Carlius pretends to take pains to call the meet site a WMA Council recommendation. And the Web site appears to be unready to proclaim itself the host as well. It has nearly no content. So why even advertise its existence?

Meanwhile, the Eurovets site promises that the German site will offer English and French versions as well eventually — after it’s approved by the WMA General Assembly in Puerto Rico. What a shock if Malmo or New York get the nod instead.
But just to make sure nobody takes the site too seriously, the site itself offers a series of disclaimers, roughly translated from the German thusly:
1. Contents of the on-line offer the author do not take over any guarantee for the topicality, the correctness, completeness or quality of the made available information. Liability claims against the author, who kind idealistic material on damage or refer, which was caused by the use or Nichtnutzung of the dargebotenen information and/or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information, are in principle impossible, if on the part of the author no as can be prove deliberate or roughly negligent being to blame for is present. All offers are not-binding and noncommittal. The author reserves itself it expressly to change parts of the sides or the entire offer without separate announcement to supplement to delete or the publication occasionally or finally to stop.
2. To references and left with direct or indirect references to stranger InterNet sides (“left”), which outside of the area of responsibility of the author lies, an adhesion obligation exclusively in the case would enter into force, in which the author of the contents of knowledge has and it him technically possible and reasonable would be to prevent the use in the case of illegal contents. The author explains hereby expressly that at the time of the link setting no illegal contents on the sides which can be linked were recognizable. On the current and future organization, contents or the authority of the left sides the author does not have any influence. Therefore it dissociates itself hereby expressly from all contents of all linked/linked sides, which were changed after the link setting. This statement applies to all within the own InterNet offer set left and references as well as to foreign entries in from the author furnished guest books, panels and mailing lists. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and for damage, which develops from the use or Nichtnutzung kind of such of dargebotener information, alone the offerer of the side, to which one referred, is responsible in particular that, which refers over left to the respective publication only.
3. Author and characteristic right the author are anxious to consider in all publications copyrights of the used diagrams, clay/tone documents, video sequences and texts of him provided diagrams, clay/tone documents, video sequences and texts to use or on license-free diagrams, clay/tone documents, to fall back video sequences and texts. All within the InterNet offer specified and if necessary by third protected mark and registered trade marks are subject without reservation to the regulations of the valid in each case characteristic right and the possession rights of the respective registered owners. However due to the bare denomination the conclusion is not to be drawn that brand names are not protected by rights third! The copyright for published, of the author provided objects remains alone with the author of the sides. A duplication or a use of such diagrams, clay/tone documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without express agreement of the author.
4. Data security if within the InterNet offer exists the possibility for the input of personal or business data (email addresses, name, addresses), then giving up these data takes place on the part of the user on expressly freiwilliger basis. The recourse to and payment of all offered services are permitted – so far technically possible and reasonable – also without indication of such data and/or under indication of anonymizated data or an alias.
5. Legal force of this non-liability this non-liability is to be regarded as part of the InterNet offer, from which to this side one referred. If parts or individual formulations of this text of the valid legal situation should not correspond, to no more or not completely, the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected in their contents and their validity by it.
Not much more to say except: Enjoy the meet!
