<p>The user is responsible for the data stored by him/her in nopaque. Furthermore he/she is responsible for entering and maintaining the data and information required to use nopaque.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The user is obliged to indemnify Bielefeld University against all claims by third parties based on the data stored by him/her and to reimburse Bielefeld University for any costs incurred as a result of possible legal infringements.

<span class="card-title">§ 5 Liability of Bielefeld University</span>
<p>Claims for damages against Bielefeld University are excluded irrespective of the legal grounds. Bielefeld University shall not be liable for loss of data and information or other „indirect“ damages, e.g. loss of profit, loss of production, or other indirect damages. Bielefeld University shall not be liable for the loss of data to the extent that the damage is due to the fact that the user has failed to back up the data and thereby ensure that lost data can be restored with justifiable effort.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>nopaque is available in accordance with normal operational care based on the "Best Effort" practice. No liability is assumed for the consequences of failures or errors of the nopaque platform. Bielefeld University does not guarantee that the systems will run error-free and without interruption at all times. Bielefeld University accepts no responsibility for technical quality. Nor is it liable for the content, in particular for the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of information to which it merely provides access for use.</p>

<p>(1) Im Rahmen des Serviceangebots können von den Nutzern hochzuladende Daten automatisiert verarbeitet und analysiert werden. Dies ist in Form von folgenden, einzeln ansteuerbaren, Services umgesetzt:</p>
<ol type="a">
<li><b>File Setup</b>: Digitale Kopien von textbasierten Forschungsdaten (Bücher, Briefe usw.) bestehen oft aus verschiedenen Dateien und Formaten. Nopaque konvertiert und führt diese Dateien zusammen, um die Weiterverarbeitung und die Anwendung anderer Dienste zu erleichtern.</li>
<li><b>Optical Character Recognition</b> (OCR): nopaque wandelt Ihre Bilddaten - wie Fotos oder Scans - durch OCR in Textdaten um und macht sie maschinenlesbar. Dieser Schritt ermöglicht es Ihnen, mit der weiteren rechnerischen Analyse Ihrer Dokumente fortzufahren.</li>
<li><b>Handwritten Text Recognition</b> (HTR): nopaque wandelt Ihre Bilddaten von handschriftlichen Texten - wie Fotos oder Scans - mittels HTR in Textdaten um und macht sie maschinenlesbar. Dieser Schritt ermöglicht es Ihnen, mit der weiteren rechnerischen Analyse Ihrer Dokumente fortzufahren.</li>
<li><b>Natural Language Processing</b> (NLP): Mittels computergestützter linguistischer Datenverarbeitung (Tokenisierung, Lemmatisierung, Part-of-Speech-Tagging und Named-Entity-Erkennung) extrahiert nopaque zusätzliche Informationen aus Ihrem Text.</li>
<li><b>Corpus analysis</b>: Mit nopaque können Sie so viele Textkorpora erstellen und hochladen, wie Sie möchten. Es nutzt die CQP Query Language, die komplexe Suchanfragen mit Hilfe von Metadaten und NLP-Tags ermöglicht.</li>
