In a text about discrimination:

tied to personal characteristics
Don't see a problem with this: "The law forbids discrimination only when tied to personal characteristics."
I can think of quite a few examples for this. For instance, I private school may have discriminating hiring practices. They just can't discriminate on the basis, of race, gender etc..

I think the term "nur" is a mistake in the source. So if there is a way to contact the customer my suggestion is that the ASKER should do this.
Although there are some google links with exactly this phrase it doesn't sound perfect. (From a German-centric perspective).
[EDIT 15:01 CET/Lancashireman has a good explanation for the "nur"]
