2. Content of the Service
On the Website, the Provider:
- displays data read in automatically from the Sources, together with the name of the Source and the time of the last successful check;
- publishes informational content edited by the Provider itself (guides, news, descriptions of accommodation and transport), with the date of the last confirmation;
- places links to the websites of third parties.
The Provider operates the Website on a separate subdomain or domain for each airport; these Terms govern every START website operated by the Provider.
The Provider is entitled at any time, unilaterally, to modify the content and structure of the Website and the Sources displayed, and to discontinue individual content or the Service as a whole. The Provider undertakes no obligation that any data appearing on the Website will remain available in the future.
3. Origin, limitations and intended purpose of the data
3.1. The data appearing on the Website, with the exception of the content edited by the Provider itself, originate from the Sources. The Provider selects the Sources with care, on the basis of prior examination, and takes over the data of authorities, operators and data providers specialising in the given field. The Provider, however, does not check or authenticate the content of individual data, nor does it have any means of doing so.
3.2. The Provider is not liable for the correctness, accuracy, completeness or timeliness of data supplied by a Source. Data may appear late, incompletely or incorrectly, and an error, outage or change of data on the Source’s side may also appear on the Website.
3.3. Next to every item of data displayed, the Provider indicates the Source and the time when it last successfully checked the data. If an item of data has not been updated within the period of validity set by the Provider, the Website displays it not as current but as unknown, or with the last known time. The User is obliged to take the displayed time of checking into account.
3.4. The data appearing on the Website are for information purposes only. The data may not be used:

- for any decision in which inaccurate data may cause personal injury, death or damage to property;
- as evidence in official, insurance or court proceedings.
3.5. The Website is not an official source. The flight information is not the airport’s official flight information system; the weather status indication is a summary, as interpreted by the Provider, of the airport’s own observations, and is neither a forecast nor an official publication; the baggage rules and taxi fares are presented by the Provider in edited form, on the basis of the information publicly published by the airline or the taxi service provider, respectively. In every case, the own official information of the airline, the service provider, the operator or the authority, as applicable, prevails. The User is obliged to check the data concerning their journey, in particular the departure time of the flight, the baggage conditions and the charges, on the relevant service provider’s own platform before travelling.
3.6. The Provider has no connection with the airport operators, airlines, authorities and transport organisations named on the Website, carries out its activity independently of them, and the content of the Website does not constitute an announcement by those organisations.
