Legal consequences and liability risks
1. Liability risks for the platform and users
Platform liability: suchen.expert is not liable for the accuracy, completeness or legal conformity of the published advertisements. Users act on their own responsibility and are responsible for complying with legal requirements.
User liability: Users who publish illegal or defamatory advertisements may be legally prosecuted. This includes civil claims for damages as well as criminal consequences.
2. Loss of non-profit status for associations
Significance of non-profit status: For non-profit associations, maintaining their non-profit status is essential in order to take advantage of tax benefits and to be able to use donations effectively.
Reasons for loss: An association loses its non-profit status if it violates the provisions of the German Fiscal Code (AO), in particular with regard to the use of donated funds, the keeping of proper accounts and the design of its statutes.
Consequences of loss: The loss of non-profit status leads to the loss of tax privileges. The association must then pay tax on its income and donations are no longer tax deductible for the donors.
3. false statement and perjury by witnesses
Penalisation of false statements: Witnesses who knowingly provide false information or distort the truth in the event of perjury are committing a criminal offence and must expect criminal consequences.
Protection of the duty to tell the truth: The laws serve to protect the truth and the integrity of the legal system. Therefore, accurate and truthful witness statements are of central importance.
Practical tips for using suchen.expert
1. Creation of legally watertight advertisements
Clear and precise wording: Design your advertisements clearly and precisely to avoid misunderstandings. Only provide relevant information and avoid exaggeration or false statements.
Truthful statements: Ensure that all statements in your advertisement are truthful. False statements may result in legal consequences.
2. Data protection and personal rights
Protection of personal data: Do not disclose any sensitive personal information that could lead to identification or misuse. Use secure communication channels for the exchange of sensitive information.
Respect for personal rights: Avoid publishing personal data without the consent of the person concerned. Make sure that your advertisements do not violate any personal rights.
3. Cooperation with authorities
Cooperation with law enforcement authorities: Witnesses should inform the relevant law enforcement authorities of relevant incidents and cooperate with them. suchen.expert can provide support here, but it does not replace the official report to the authorities.
Verification of witness information: Enable the authorities to verify witness information in order to strengthen the credibility of the statements and increase the effectiveness of the witness search.
Conclusion
The suchen.expert platform provides valuable support in connecting witnesses and searching for relevant information after accidents or other incidents. However, it is of the utmost importance that all users comply with the applicable legal provisions and take their legal responsibilities seriously. By observing the legal framework described and using the platform responsibly, you help to ensure that the search for witnesses is effective, secure and legally sound.
