Disclaimer

1. Content of the online service

The author accepts no guarantee for the currency, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided here. All claims to liability on the part of the author due to damages of a material or immaterial nature incurred by the use of or failure to use the information provide here, or by the use of erroneous or incomplete information, are excluded in all cases, unless intentional or grossly negligent behaviour on the part of the author is proven. All offers are unbinding and subject to change. The author reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offering unannounced and to temporarily or permanently discontinue publication.

2. Hyperlinks

Liability for direct or indirect links to external websites (“hyperlinks”) that are not the responsibility of the author shall apply exclusively insofar as the author was aware of the contents and was technically able and could be reasonably expected to prevent the use of any illegal content. The author hereby states explicitly that no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages when the link was set. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, the author distances itself explicitly from all contents of linked pages that were altered after the link was set. This statement applies to all links set inside and outside the author’s Internet offering and to all external entries in guest books, discussion forums, indices of links, mailing lists installed by the author and to all forms of databases to which the external accesses may refer. Exclusively the provider of the page to which the link refers, and not the party that merely refers to the publication by means of a link, will be liable for erroneous or incomplete contents, and in particular for damages that are incurred by the use of or failure to use the information provided.

3. Copyrights and trademarks

The author undertakes to observe copyright restrictions in regard to the images, artwork, sound files, video sequences and texts used in all publications and to use its own or royalty-free images, artwork, sound files, video sequences and texts. All copyrights and trademarks mentioned in this Internet offering that may be owned by third parties are wholly subject to the trademark and ownership rights of the registered owner in each case. It is not possible to infer that trademarks are unprotected by the rights of third parties, simply by their mention on these pages. The copyright for all materials created by the author and published herein rests with the author of these pages. Duplication or use of these artworks, sound files, video sequences and texts in other electronic or print publications is prohibited without the explicit consent of the author.

4. Data protection

Any provision of personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses) by the user of this Internet offering is voluntary. As long as is technically possible and reasonable, the use and payment of all services offered is possible without providing personal data, with the anonymisation of data or with the use of an alias. It is prohibited to use the information provided in the site notice or similarly elsewhere, including postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses, for the transmission of information that was not explicitly requested. The right to take legal action against senders of spam mails in violation of this prohibition is explicitly reserved.

5. Validity of this disclaimer

This disclaimer must be considered an integral part of the Internet offering that referred to this page. Any partial or complete invalidity of sections or individual wordings of these texts under applicable law, now and in the future, shall not affect the content and validity of the documents as a whole.
