By placing an order, the customer is aware that such retrievals and information are not part of the contractual services of OlegTru.com and are to be taught and represented by him alone.

OlegTru.com is therefore not obliged to check whether third party rights are affected or infringed during the execution of the service, as OlegTru.com can assume that this has been checked by the customer and clarified if necessary. Thus, the customer ensures that no copyrights or other rights of third parties are violated.

3.
