Terms of use

Last updated: 27.09.2026

This translation is provided for information only. The legally binding text is the German version.

§ 1 Scope and contracting party

(1) These terms apply to the use of the service “RSL-List” available at this address (hereinafter the “Service”).

(2) Your contracting party is Marcel Debout, Am Bügelacker 3c, 87527 Sonthofen (hereinafter the “Provider”). Full details are given in the legal notice.

(3) Any differing terms of the user do not become part of the contract, even if the Provider does not expressly object to them.

§ 2 Subject matter of the Service

(1) The Service calculates rankings from publicly available price data using Robert Levy's relative strength method, together with additional technical measures, and makes them available in the browser and, optionally, by email. Registered users can keep a personal watchlist.

(2) The Service is expressly not investment advice, not an investment recommendation and not financial analysis. It does not provide investment services within the meaning of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG). Details are set out in the disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.

(3) The Provider may further develop or restrict the range of functions or discontinue individual functions, provided this is reasonable for the user. The Provider will announce significant changes with reasonable notice.

§ 3 Conclusion of the contract

(1) The publicly visible rankings can be used without registration. No contract is concluded by doing so.

(2) By submitting the registration form, the user makes an offer to conclude a contract of use. The Provider then sends an email with a confirmation link. The contract is concluded as soon as the user opens this link and the account is thereby activated.

(3) There is no entitlement to the conclusion of a contract of use.

§ 4 Fees

(1) Use of the Service is currently free of charge.

(2) The Provider reserves the right to offer paid services in the future. Existing accounts will not automatically become subject to charges as a result. Paid services are only provided under a separate, express agreement in which prices, payment terms and — for consumers — the statutory information on the right of withdrawal are communicated before the contract is concluded.

§ 5 Availability

(1) The Provider endeavors to operate the Service with as few disruptions as possible, but does not guarantee any particular availability. The Service runs on a privately operated server; outages due to power failures, disruptions of the internet connection, maintenance or hardware defects are possible.

(2) The Service depends on third-party data. If these sources fail or change their format, individual indices or measures may be temporarily missing. There is no entitlement to them.

§ 6 Obligations of the user

(1) The user

  • provides truthful information when registering and keeps their email address up to date,
  • keeps their login credentials secret and does not pass them on to third parties,
  • informs the Provider without delay if they suspect that their account is being misused,
  • does not use the Service in a way that impairs its operation, in particular not through automated bulk requests,
  • does not use the available data to build a competing service or to systematically redistribute the data.

(2) If a user seriously breaches these obligations, the Provider may temporarily block access and, in the event of continued breaches, terminate the contract without notice.

§ 7 Rights to the content

(1) The user may access and view the content of the Service for their own purposes.

(2) The underlying price and company data come from third parties and are subject to their terms. Commercial reuse of this data is not covered by this contract and may be excluded by the terms of the data sources.

§ 8 Term and termination

(1) The contract of use runs for an indefinite period.

(2) The user may terminate at any time without giving reasons by deleting their account or requesting deletion by email.

(3) The Provider may terminate with four weeks' notice. The right to terminate for good cause without notice remains unaffected.

(4) Upon termination, the account data is deleted. How long it may still be contained in backups is stated in the privacy policy.

§ 9 Liability

(1) The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for fraudulent concealment of a defect, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act.

(2) In cases of simple negligence, the Provider is liable only for breach of an obligation whose fulfillment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance the user may regularly rely, and limited in amount to the typical, foreseeable damage.

(3) To the extent permitted by law, no liability is accepted for financial loss resulting from anyone basing their investment decisions on the content of this Service. The Service does not make recommendations; every decision is made by the user on their own responsibility.

(4) Any further liability is excluded. These limitations also apply in favor of the Provider's legal representatives and agents.

§ 10 Changes to these terms

(1) The Provider may amend these terms where this is necessary to adapt them to a change in the law, to decisions of the highest courts or to a change in the range of functions, and does not unreasonably disadvantage the user.

(2) Changes will be communicated to the user by email at least six weeks before they take effect. If the user does not object within this period, the changes are deemed accepted; the notice will expressly point out this consequence. If the user objects, either party may terminate the contract as of the date the changes take effect.

§ 11 Final provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If the user is a consumer whose habitual residence is in another country, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of that country remain unaffected.

(2) If the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is the Provider's registered location.

(3) Should any provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

Note on the right of withdrawal: A statutory right of withdrawal under Sections 312g and 355 of the German Civil Code (BGB) applies to distance contracts for services that are subject to a charge. Since the Service is currently free of charge, it does not apply here. As soon as paid services are offered, information on the right of withdrawal, including a model withdrawal form, must be provided before the contract is concluded.
