DISCLAIMER

1. Website Content

The author does not assume any liability whatsoever for the quality of the information provided, nor for it being up-to-date, correct or complete. Any liability claims against the author that refer to material or non-material damage, which has been caused by the use or omission of the information presented or by the use of faulty or incomplete information, shall strictly be excluded, unless there is evidence of wilful intent or gross negligence on the part of the author. All offers are non-binding without obligation. The author expressly reserves the right to change, amend or delete parts of the pages or the entire website without prior notice, or to cease publication either temporarily or permanently.

2. References and Links

The author can only be held liable for either direct or indirect referrals to other Internet sites (“hyperlinks”) for which the author is not directly responsible if the author is aware of the content of the sites in question and if the author is in a position to, and has the technical capacity to, prevent the use of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time of placing the link, no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content and authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, he expressly distances himself from all content of all linked pages, which was modified after placing the link. This declaration applies to all links and references placed within the website created by the author and to any third-party entries in visitors’ books, forums, link indices and mailing lists set up by the author, as well as in any other forms of database, where external input on the content is possible. Liability for any illegal, faulty or incomplete content and in particular for any damage resulting from the use or omission of information provided in such a way, lies exclusively with the provider of the website to which the reference was made, and not with the party merely referring to such published material by means of links. 

3. Copyright and Trademark Law

The author endeavours to observe the copyrights of the images, graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts employed in all publications; to use, wherever possible, the author’s own images, graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts; or to employ licence-free graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts. All brand names and trademarks mentioned on this website and, where applicable, protected by a third party, are subject without restriction to the provisions of the relevant applicable trademark law and the rights of the respective registered owner. A simple mention does not mean that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights! The copyright for published material created by the author remains the exclusive property of the author of the website. Such graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts may not be duplicated or used in other electronic or printed publications without the express permission of the author.

4. Data Privacy

If the opportunity for the input of personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names or mailing addresses) on the website is given, the user expressly divulges such data on a voluntary basis. The use of the contact information published as part of the legal notice, such as mailing addresses, telephone or fax numbers, as well as e-mail addresses, by third parties for the purpose of sending information not explicitly requested is not permitted. The author expressly reserves the right to take legal action against the senders of so-called spam mails in the case of a breach of this prohibition.

5. Validity of this Disclaimer

This disclaimer is to be regarded as a part of the website, which you were referred from. If parts or individual provisions of this text do not fully or no longer comply with the current legal situation, this shall not affect the content and validity of all other parts of this document.
