1. The author does not assume any liability for the currentness, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Any liability claims against the author, which refer to material or non-material damage, and which may be caused by the usage or non-usage of the information provided or, respectively, by the usage of any incorrect or incomplete information, is generally excluded except in cases of evidenced wilful or gross negligence on the part of the author. All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to modify, amend or cancel the offer, in whole or in part, or to discontinue this publication temporarily or permanently without any prior notice.
2. References and links
In cases of direct or indirect references to external websites (“links”) as lie outside the author’s range of responsibility, liability obligations will be applicable solely to cases in which the author is aware of the content and in which it is technically possible and reasonable to expect that the author could prevent the use of illicit content. The author hereby explicitly states that no illegal content was recognisable on the linked pages at the time of placing the links. The author has no influence on the current or future design, the content or the authorship of the linked websites. He therefore explicitly disassociates himself from all content of all linked pages that have been changed after setting the links. This is true for all links within his own website as well as for postings and outside contributions to the guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists created by the author. The provider of the linked page alone shall be liable for illegal, faulty or incomplete content, and in particular for losses resulting from the use or non-use of information provided in this way, and not the person simply referring to the respective publications via links.
3. Copyright and trademark rights
The author strives to heed the copyright regulations for all images, audio recordings, video sequences and texts included in his publications, and to utilise his own images, audio recordings, video sequences and texts or those images, audio recordings, video sequences and texts that are public domain. All of the brand marks and trademarks named on the website and, where applicable, all brand marks and trademarks protected by third-party rights are subject to the regulations of the valid trademark and ownership law for each registered owner. The fact that a trademark has merely been named shall not imply that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights! The copyright for any published items produced by the author himself shall remain solely with the author of these pages. Images, audio recordings, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications may only be copied or used with the express consent of the author.
4. Data privacy
If the website permits the entry of personal or business data (email addresses, names, postal addresses), the disclosure of such data by the user shall be made explicitly on a voluntary basis. The use of and payment for all offered services is permitted – if and as far as technically possible and reasonable – without the entry of such personal data or by using anonymous data or an alias.
5. Legal effect of this disclaimer
This disclaimer shall be considered as part of a website which links to this page. If any parts or individual formulations of this text should fail to conform to current legislation, or be no longer or not fully in conformity therewith, this shall not affect the content or validity of the remaining parts of the document.
