Hello list,
hopefully a (preferably german) lawyer is subscribed to this list.
I was thinking of starting an exit-relay on a dedicated machine. The german company servdiscount offers very cheap machines with 1 gbit connection (500 mbit guaranteed). They don't mention tor in their terms and conditions but § 10 worries me a bit (myLoc is the mother company of servdiscount):
"The customer is obligated, to refrain from sending e-mails to third parties who have not consented to receipt beforehand or whose consent to receive cannot be inferred from other means. This likewise applies to sending postings in chats and/or forums. The customer promises to pay myLoc a contractual penalty in the amount of 5,100.00 Euro per incident in the event of culpable breach of this obligation under exclusion of the assumption of repeated offence."

or in german:
"10. Der Kunde ist verpflichtet, keine E-Mails an Dritte zu versenden, die dem Empfang nicht zuvor zugestimmt haben oder deren Einverständnis zum Empfang nicht anderweitig vermutet werden kann. Dies gilt ebenfalls für das Versenden von Postings in Chats und/oder Foren. Der Kunde verspricht für jeden Einzelfall ein er schuldhaften Zuwiderhandlung gegen diese Verpflichtung unter Ausschluss der Annahme eines Fortsetzungszusammenhangs die Zahlung einer Vertragsstrafe in Höhe von 5.100,00 Euro an myLoc. Die Geltendmachung weiterer Ansprüche bleibt vorbehalten."

Would this condition apply in case a tor user would e. g. rant around in a forum? Or would beeing a provider keep me from paying 5.100,00 Euro (!) to myLoc?
thanks!
