Privacy protection
1. Website content
The author provides no guarantee whatsoever as to the up-to-dateness, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or immaterial damages arising from the use or non-use of the information presented, or from the use of inaccurate or incomplete information, are strictly excluded unless there is evidence of wilful intent or gross negligence on the part of the author.
All content is subject to change and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to alter, amend or delete the entire content or part of the website without special notice, and to discontinue publication temporarily or permanently
2. References and links
For direct or indirect references to third parties' websites (hyperlinks) which fall outside the author's area of responsibility, liability applies solely and exclusively if the author is aware of the relevant website's content, and if it would be technically feasible and reasonable for the author to prevent the linked site from being used in the case of illegal content.
The author hereby expressly declares that at the time that the links were created, there was no discernible illegal content on the sites linked to. The author bears no influence whatsoever over the current or future design, content or authorship of the linked or associated sites. The author therefore expressly dissociates himself from any content, on any linked or associated sites, that is altered after the link has been created. This declaration applies to all links and references contained within the author's own website, as well as to entries made by third parties in guest books, discussion forums, links pages or mailing lists provided by the author, and all other forms of database which allow external write access to their content. In the event of illegal, inaccurate or incomplete content, and particularly for damages arising from the use or non-use of such content, the provider of the linked site shall be solely liable; no liability shall be assumed by the individual who merely provides the link to the relevant website.
3. Copyright and trademark law
In all publications, the author endeavours to observe the copyrights of the graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts used, to use graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts created by the author himself, or to use licence-free graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts. All brand names and trademarks mentioned within the website, including those protected by third parties if applicable, are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law, and to the rights of ownership of the respective registered owner. It shall not be inferred from the mere mention of a brand or trademark that the brand or trademark is not protected by third party rights.
The author of the website retains the sole copyright for published items created by the author himself. The duplication or use of such graphics, audio files, video sequences or texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's explicit consent.
4. Data protection
Where the website provides the option of entering personal or company data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), the user shall disclose this data on a strictly voluntary basis. The use of, and payment for, all services offered is permitted without entering such data, or by entering anonymous data or a pseudonym, provided this is technically feasible and reasonable. Third parties are not permitted to use contact details published in the imprint or in similar information, such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses, for sending information that has not been expressly requested. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the senders of so-called spam e-mails in the event of violation of this prohibition.
5. Legal validity of this liability disclaimer
This liability disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the website which has referred the user to this page. In the event that parts or individual clauses of this text do not, no longer or only partially comply with the currently valid legal situation, the content and validity of the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaffected.
