Exclusion of liability

Content of the website

The author assumes no guarantee for the information provided being up-to-date, correct, complete or of a particular quality. Liability claims towards the author that are based on damage of a material or immaterial nature that has been caused by the use or non-use of the information presented or by the use of erroneous and incomplete information are fundamentally excluded if there is no demonstrably wilful or grossly negligent culpability on the part of the author.
All offers are non-binding and subject to change without notice. The author explicitly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete parts of the pages or the entire offering without a special notification to this effect or to suspend the publication temporarily or definitively.

References and links

With direct or indirect links to third-party website ('hyperlinks') that lie outside of the author's area of responsibility, a liability obligation would only enter into force if the author had knowledge of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for him or her to prevent the usage in the event of unlawful content.
The author hereby explicitly declares that at the time of the links being set no illegal contents were detectable on the pages to be linked. The author has no influence whatsoever over the current and future design, the content or the copyright of the linked/referenced pages. Consequently, the author explicitly distances himself/herself from all content of all linked pages that were changed after the links were set. This statement applies for all links and references set within the author's own Internet services and for third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists set up by the author, and in all other forms of databases for which external writing access is possible to their content. The provider of the page which has been linked/referenced to, and not the person who only makes reference to the respective publication via links, is solely responsible for illegal, erroneous or incomplete content and particularly for damage that arises from the use or non-use of such information presented.

Copyright and trademark law

The author strives to observe in all publications the copyright of the picture, graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts, to use images, graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts created by the author, or to draw on licence-free graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts.
All brand names and trademarks named within the Internet offering and if applicable protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the respectively valid trademark law and the ownership rights of the respectively registered owners. The mere mention on its own does not justify the conclusion that trademarks are not protected by the rights of third parties!
The copyright for published objects created by the author himself/herself remains solely with the author. A reproduction or use of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's explicit approval.
Legal validity of the liability exclusion
This liability exclusion is to be seen as part of the Internet offering from which reference is made to this page. If parts or individual formulations of this text should not, no longer or not comply with the valid legal situation in full, the content and validity of remaining parts of the document shall not be affected.
