1. Content of the online offer
The author does not assume any guarantee for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Any liability claims filed against the author as a result of damage of a material or immaterial nature caused by using or failing to use the information provided or by using erroneous and incomplete information, shall be excluded on principle, provided that there is no evidence of deliberate or grossly negligent default on the part of the author. Any and all offers shall be without obligation and not binding. The author explicitly reserves the right to amend, supplement, delete parts of pages or the entire site or to discontinue publication of the same on a temporary or permanent basis without giving special notice.
2. Cross-references and links
In the case of direct or indirect cross-references to third-party Internet sites ("links"), which fall outside the sphere of responsibility of the author, a liability obligation would not be incurred unless the author were aware of the contents and it would be technically feasible and reasonable for them to prevent the use in the case of unlawful contents. The author hereby expressly declares that no illegal contents were perceptible on the linked sites at the time when the link was set up. The author has no influence over the current and future layout, the contents or the authorship of the linked/cross-referenced pages. The author therefore hereby explicitly renounces all contents of any and all linked/cross-referenced pages, which were changed after such link was set up. This shall apply to all links and cross-references set up within the author's own Internet site as well as to third-party entries in guest-books, discussion forums, link lists, mailing lists and all other forms of databases created by the author to the contents of which an external write access is possible. The sole liability for illegal, erroneous or incomplete contents, and, in particular, for any damages arising from the use or failure to use such information shall lie with the provider of the website to which the cross-reference was made, and not with the person who only refers to the publication concerned via Internet links.
3. Copyright and trademark protection
The author endeavours to observe in all publications the copyright of the images, graphic illustrations, sound documents, video sequences and texts and to use images, graphic illustrations, sound documents, video sequences and texts produced by himself, or to resort to license-free graphic illustrations, sound documents, video sequences and texts. All trademarks mentioned and, if applicable, owned by third parties within this website are subject without restriction to the provisions of the respective applicable intellectual property legislation and ownership rights of the respectively registered owners. It cannot be concluded from the simple mentioning of trademarks that they are not protected by third-party rights!
The copyright for any published objects created by the author himself shall solely remain with the author of the website. Any reproduction or use of such graphic illustrations, sound documents, video sequences or texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's explicit consent.
4. Data security and privacy
If the opportunity for the input of personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses) is given, the disclosure of such data by the user shall take place on an explicitly voluntary basis. The use and payment of all services offered - in as far as technically possible and reasonable - shall also be permitted without the indication of such data or with the indication of anonymised data or a pseudonym. The use of contact data published in the "About Us" section of the website or of comparable information such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers as well as e-mail addresses by third parties for sending information which has not been explicitly requested is prohibited. Legal action is explicitly reserved to deal with offenders sending spam mails.
5. Legal validity of this disclaimer
This disclaimer shall be deemed to be part of the website from which reference was made to this page. If sections or individual terms of this disclaimer do not conform, do not conform any longer, or not conform completely correspond to applicable law, the content and validity of the remaining parts of this document shall remain unaffected.
