Liability disclaimer

1. Content of the online services

The author offers no guarantee for the currency, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author, which relate to damages of a material or immaterial nature and have been caused by use or non-use of the information presented or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information, are essentially excluded as long as no verifiable intentional or grossly negligent culpability exists on the part of the author. All offers are non-binding and subject to change. The author explicitly reserves the right to modify, to add to, to delete or to temporarily or permanently cease publication of parts of the site or of the entire service without separate notification.

2. References and links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“hyperlinks”) that lie outside the area of responsibility of the author, a liability obligation will take effect only in the case where the author is aware of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for the same to prevent use in the case of unlawful content. The author hereby explicitly declares that no illegal content was identifiable on the linked sites at the time of linking. The author has no influence over the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked/connected sites. The author is therefore explicitly dissociated from all contents of all linked/connected sites that have been modified after linking. This statement applies for all links and references set within the proprietary website provision and for external postings in guest books, discussion fora and mailing lists set up by the author. The provider of the site to which reference is made, and not the person who merely refers to the respective publication through links, is solely liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and specifically for damages arising from use or non-use of information provided in this way.

3. Copyright and trademark law

In all publications the author endeavours to respect the copyrights of the graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts, to use graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts that have been produced by the author, or to rely on licence-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. Without restriction all brand names and trademarks mentioned in the website provision and possibly protected by third parties are subject to the provisions of respective current labelling law and to the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. It is not to be concluded solely on the basis of mere mention that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights! The copyright for published materials produced directly by the author remains solely with the author of the sites. Copying or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author.

4. Legal validity of this liability disclaimer

This liability disclaimer must be regarded as part of the website provision from which reference has been made to this site. Should parts or individual phrases of this text not, no longer, or not completely correspond to the current legal situation, this shall not affect the content and validity of the remaining parts of the document.
