Applicable Law

Language
From its start Chair Blog is published in the English language by a Dutchman whose native language is Dutch. With the addition of editors with native lanuages a Taiwanese (Chinese) and Russian we even may have enhanced the chance of language and spelling errors. We try to adhere to the American spelling habits of the English language. Hence it is very well possible that we makes errors both in language and in spelling, because we have not enough knowledge of the English language. We apologize in advance for such errors, but don’t accept responsibility for such errors except to the extent we refuse expressly to adjust errors within a reasonable time after being put on notice.
Also a caveat that both in the past and in the future the blog used and will use plugins that automatically translate content of the blog into other languages than the English language. As those translations are and will be computer generated translations by third parties, the publisher doesn’t accept any responsibility of possible negative consequences.
