Terms and conditions

Disclaimer 1. Content of the Online Offer

The author accepts no liability whatsoever for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author based on damage, whether of a material or idealistic nature, caused by the use or non-use of the information offered or from the use of faulty or incomplete information, are fully excluded, unless some deliberate or grossly negligent fault on the part of the author can be shown to be the cause. All offers are non-binding and are subject to change without notice. The author explicitly reserves the right to alter, extend or delete parts of the site or the entire offer without giving prior notice, or to discontinue the publication, whether partially or permanently.

2. References and Links

In the event of direct or indirect reference to other Internet pages (links) that are beyond the sphere of responsibility of the author, a liability obligation would only be effective in the event that the author knew of the content of any such page, had the technical possibility to prevent use of the page in the event of its containing illegal content and could be reasonably expected to exercise this option. The author therefore explicitly states that, at the time of linking, the linked pages were believed to be free of all and any illegal content. The author has no influence at all, however, on the current or future design of such pages and their contents. For this reason the author hereby explicitly distances himself from the content of all linked pages that have been altered since the date of linkage. This statement applies to all links set within one's own Internet offer as well as to all entries made by others in the guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. For illegal, faulty or incomplete content and in particular for damage arising from the use or non-use of such information provided, the provider of the page in question bears sole liability, not those who merely refer to such publications in the form of links.

3. Copyright and Sign Rights

The author makes efforts to ensure that in all publications the copyright to the used graphics, soundtracks, video sequences and texts is observed, to use self-made graphics, soundtracks, video sequences and texts or to employ licence-free graphics, soundtracks, video sequences and texts. All safeguarded proprietary names and registered trade marks referred to in the Internet offer and, where applicable, owned by third parties are subject - without limitation - to the provisions of the respective, valid sign-identification laws and the proprietary laws of the registered owner in each case. A simple reference alone must not be taken to imply that the trademarks in question are not protected by third-party entitlements! The copyright of published pages created by the author himself remains solely with the author. Neither duplication nor use of such graphics, soundtracks, video sequences or texts in other electronic or printed publications is permissible without the explicit consent of the author.

4. Data Protection

If and to the extent that the Internet site offers the possibility of entering personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), these are provided by the user explicitly on a voluntary basis. Where both technically possible and reasonable, the use and payment of all services offered is permissible even without the disclosure of such data or under the disclosure of anonymous data or a pseudonym.

5. Legal Effectiveness of this Disclaimer

This disclaimer must be regarded as a part of the Internet offer from which reference is made to this page. Should any of the individual formulations of this text fail to comply with current law, whether now, no longer or not completely, the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaltered, as regards their content and validity.
