Legal Notice

1. Content of the online offer

The author accepts no responsibility for the timeliness, completeness or quality of the information provided. All claims against the author, whether for pecuniary or non-pecuniary damage, arising from the use or non-use of the information offered or from the use of incorrect or incomplete information are excluded in principle, unless it can be proved that the author acted with intent or gross negligence. Any offer made by the author constitutes an invitation to tender only. The author expressly reserves the right to modify, expand, delete or cease publication of parts or all of the content of the site, either temporarily or permanently, without prior notice.

2. References and links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external sites outside the author's sphere of activity (‘hyperlinks’), the author's liability is limited to cases where the author is aware of the content and it is technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent the use of illegal content.

The author hereby expressly declares that at the time of providing the link, no illegal content was detectable on the linked sites. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content and copyright of the linked pages. Therefore, the author hereby expressly disassociates himself from any content of the linked sites that has been changed after the link was provided. This statement applies to all links and references provided within the author's own Internet content, as well as to all external entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists and all other forms of databases established by the author, whose content is accessible to external write access. Liability for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content, and in particular for any damage resulting from the use or non-use of information provided in this way, rests solely with the provider of the site to which the link refers and not with the person who merely referred to the publication by means of a link.

3. Copyrights and trademarks

The author will endeavour to respect the copyright of graphics, sounds, images and texts used in publications, to use graphics, sounds, images and texts created by him or to refer to unlicensed graphics, sounds, images and texts. All trademarks or brands mentioned in the Internet offer and, where applicable, protected by a third party, are subject to and remain the property of the respective valid trademark of the respective registered owner without limitation. The mere fact that a trademark is named does not imply that no third party has any rights in the trademark. The copyright in published objects created by the author belongs solely to the author of the pages. The reproduction or use of such graphics, sound, images and text in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author.

4. Data protection

If it is possible to enter personal or business data (e-mail address, name, address) within the Internet offer, the disclosure of this data by the user is expressly voluntary. All services may be used and paid for without providing such data, or by providing anonymous data or a pseudonym, as far as technically possible and feasible. The use by third parties of contact details such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses published in the imprint or other similar communications for the purpose of sending unsolicited information is not permitted. In the event of a breach of this prohibition, the Trustee expressly reserves the right to take legal action against the sender of the so-called spam e-mails.

5. Scope of the exclusion of liability

This disclaimer is part of the Internet content to which you are referred on this site. If any part or wording of the text does not, no longer or does not fully comply with the applicable legal situation, the content and validity of the remaining parts of the document shall not be affected.
