Disclaimer
Exclusion of liability
1. Content of the online material
The author accepts no warranty whatsoever for the topicality, accuracy, comprehensiveness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims brought against the author which relate to damages of a material or intangible nature caused by the use or failure to use the provided information or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are essentially excluded insofar as the author cannot be shown to have acted in a wilful or grossly negligent manner. All offers are non-binding and subject to change. The author expressly reserves the right to amend, to supplement or to delete parts of the pages or the entire website without prior notification, or to suspend the publication temporarily or permanently.
2. References and links
In the case of direct or indirect links to third-party websites which are beyond the scope of responsibility of the author, a liability obligation would be established only if the author had knowledge of the content thereof and if it would have been technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent utilisation in the event of this being unlawful content. The author herewith expressly declares that at the time of the establishment of the respective link, no illegal content was apparent on the linked websites. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content or copyright of linked websites. For this reason he expressly distances himself from all content of all linked websites which have been altered after the respective link was established. This declaration applies to all links and references made within this website, as well as to third-party entries made in visitor’s books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. The provider of the linked site has sole liability for illegal, erroneous or incomplete content and in particular for damages arising out of the use or failure to use such provided information, and not the site which merely refers to the respective publication via links.
3. Copyright and trademarks
The author endeavours in publications to observe the copyrights of the utilised graphics, audio documents, video sequences and text, to use graphics, audio documents, video sequences and text which he has created himself, or to make use of licence-free graphics, audio documents, video sequences and text. All brands and trademarks cited within the website and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the respective valid designation law and ownership rights of the respective registered owners. Mere citation may not be used to infer that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights! The copyright for published items created by the author himself shall be retained solely by the author of the website. Reproduction or utilisation of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences and text in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author.
4. Data protection
Insofar as it is possible to enter personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses) within the website, this data shall be disclosed by the user on an expressly voluntary basis. The utilisation and payment of all offered services shall – insofar as possible and reasonable – also be permitted without specifying such data or by providing anonymised data or a pseudonym.
5. Legal validity of this disclaimer
