1. Content of online services

The author cannot accept any liability whatsoever for the up-to-dateness, accuracy, completion or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author that relate to damages of a material or immaterial kind and caused by use of or failure to use the information provided and/or by use of incorrect and incomplete information shall be expressly excluded, to the extent that the author cannot be verifiably proven to have acted either wilfully or in gross negligence. All offers are subject to change and are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, amend and delete parts of the pages or the entire web content without separate announcement or temporarily or definitively cease publication thereof.

2. Copyright and trademark law

The author makes every effort to observe the copyrights of the graphics, audio documents, video sequences used in all publications, use graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts compiled by the author himself or resort to licence-free graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts. All the brand names and trademarks mentioned within the website and possibly protected by third-party rights are unlimitedly subject to the provisions of the respectively applicable labelling law and the rights of possession of the respective registered owners. The conclusion is not to be drawn solely on the basis of mere mention that brand names are not protected by third-party rights! Copyright for published objects produced by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Reproduction or use of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not allowed without the author's express consent.

3. References and links

In case of direct or indirect references to external Internet pages ("links") that lie outside the author's scope of responsibility, a liability obligation would only arise in the event that the author had knowledge of the contents and it were technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in case of illegal contents. Hence, the author expressly declares that at the time of link insertion, the corresponding pages to which the links were to be made were free of illegal contents. The author does not have any influence whatsoever over the current and future layout and over the contents of the linked pages. Consequently, he hereby expressly distances himself from all contents of all linked pages that were modified after the links were inserted. This statement is valid for all links and cross-references within the own website and for external entries in the guestbooks, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and in particular for damages caused by use or failure to use information offered in this manner, solely the provider of the page to which reference was made shall be liable and not the person merely making reference to the respective publication by means of links.

4. Legal effect

This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the website from which referral to this page was made. Should parts or individual wordings of this text not, no longer or not fully comply with currently applicable law, all remaining sections of the documents shall remain unaffected in terms of their content and validity.
