Legal information
Straight talk applies here too. What this website does, what it does not do – and what we stand for. This is a translation; the German version is legally binding.
Disclaimer
1. Scope
This information applies to all content on the website slotta.at and to all documents that can be accessed from it or are derived from it – in particular white papers, case studies, articles, presentations and downloads. It supplements the legal notice and the privacy policy.
2. Purpose of the content
Slotta Consulting is in the process of being established. The content of this website provides information about the career, way of working and project experience of Markus Slotta. It does not constitute an offer or an invitation to submit an offer.
3. No advice in individual cases
All content is of a general nature. It does not replace an assessment and advice tailored to your specific situation. You take business decisions on your own responsibility and on the basis of your own judgement. Any implementation of the methods, concepts or recommendations presented is entirely at your own risk.
4. No legal, tax, financial or investment advice
The content contains no legal advice, no tax advice, no accounting or bookkeeping services, no investment advice, no wealth management advice and no insurance or credit brokerage. Such services are regulated by law and are reserved for the professions authorised to provide them – in particular under the Austrian Lawyers Act (Rechtsanwaltsordnung, RAO), the Public Accountants Act 2017 (Wirtschaftstreuhandberufsgesetz), the Accounting Professions Act 2014 (Bilanzbuchhaltungsgesetz), the Securities Supervision Act 2018 (Wertpapieraufsichtsgesetz) and the Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act 1994 (Gewerbeordnung). Where a question falls within these areas, we expressly refer you to the professionals authorised to deal with it.
5. No guarantee of results
The projects, case studies, references and figures presented describe completed matters in their respective context. They are neither a promise nor a forecast that comparable results can be achieved in another company, another market or at another time. Success depends to a large extent on factors outside our control – in particular on the decisions, resources and cooperation of the client.
6. Accuracy, timeliness, sources
All content is prepared with care and reviewed on an ongoing basis. Nevertheless, no guarantee can be given for its accuracy, completeness or timeliness. Information from third parties – such as market data, studies or press reports – is marked as such; no liability is accepted for its content. Figures taken from published project descriptions are marked accordingly and do not constitute a personal performance commitment.
7. Liability
Liability for damage arising from the use or non-use of the information provided is limited to intent and gross negligence. Liability for slight negligence is excluded. This does not apply to personal injury or to cases of mandatory statutory liability, in particular under the Austrian Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz); towards consumers, the mandatory provisions of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (Konsumentenschutzgesetz) apply without restriction. Liability for loss of profit, consequential damage or indirect damage is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
8. Links to third-party websites
This website contains links to third-party websites. We have no influence over their content; it is checked at the time the link is set. We accept no responsibility for third-party content within the meaning of section 17 of the Austrian E-Commerce Act (E-Commerce-Gesetz, ECG). If we become aware of any infringement, we will remove the link concerned without delay.
9. Availability
Uninterrupted access to the website is not owed. Maintenance work, technical faults or outages at service providers may lead to temporary restrictions. No claims arise from this.
10. Copyright and trade mark rights
All content on this website – texts, graphics, logos, images, videos, layouts and source code – is protected by copyright. Any use beyond the limits of the Austrian Copyright Act (Urheberrechtsgesetz) requires prior written consent. Quotations with correct attribution and a link are expressly welcome. Trade marks and company names mentioned are the property of their respective owners; they are mentioned for descriptive purposes only and do not imply any business relationship.
11. AI-assisted content
Some image, graphic and video elements on this website were created or edited with generative AI systems and reviewed editorially. Where content is AI-generated and this is not obvious, we point this out separately – in line with the transparency obligations under Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act). Professional statements, project descriptions and figures come exclusively from the author, who takes professional responsibility for them. How I use AI in client mandates and what happens to your documents is set out on AI in client mandates.
12. Relationship to contractual documents
This information governs only the use of the website and of the publicly accessible documents. Mandates and assignments are governed exclusively by the respective engagement agreement and the general terms and conditions incorporated into it. In the event of any conflict, the contractual documents take precedence.
13. Applicable law
Austrian law applies, excluding the conflict-of-law rules of private international law and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For disputes with entrepreneurs within the meaning of the Austrian Commercial Code (Unternehmensgesetzbuch), the court with subject-matter and local jurisdiction for the registered office of the media owner in 2512 Oeynhausen, Austria, has exclusive jurisdiction. For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction remain unaffected.
Equal treatment
1. Our position
We treat all people with equal respect – regardless of gender, age, origin, ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, disability or family situation. This applies in mandates, in our work with clients and partners, in the selection and appointment processes we support, and in every form of communication.
This is not a statement of intent but a working principle: anyone who supports change processes has a say in who is heard and who is not. In analyses, recommendations and proposals for appointments, we actively ensure that assessments are based on suitability, performance and ability – not on characteristics that have nothing to do with them.
The basis is the Austrian Equal Treatment Act (Gleichbehandlungsgesetz, GlBG), the Federal Disability Equality Act (Bundes-Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz, BGStG) and the relevant provisions of EU law. Discrimination, harassment and bullying are not tolerated – including by third parties in the context of a mandate. If you experience unequal treatment in your work with us, please tell us: office@slotta.at
2. Inclusive language
We use gender-inclusive language. In the German version, where a gender-neutral wording would make the text difficult to understand or read, we use the grammatically masculine form. In these cases, it expressly refers to all genders equally. No value judgement is implied.
Terms for persons in quoted third-party texts, job titles and historical source references remain unchanged.
3. Accessibility
We design this website to be accessible to as many people as possible, following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, conformance level AA. Full accessibility has not yet been achieved in every area. If any content is not accessible to you, please let us know – we will provide it to you in a usable form: office@slotta.at, +43 670 555 9678
Status: 8 August 2026. We reserve the right to amend this information. The version published on this page applies. This English text is a translation; in case of doubt, the German version (in German) is legally binding.
