1. Content of the Online Offer

The author assumes no liability whatsoever for the timeliness, correctness, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or immaterial damages caused by the use or non-use of the information presented or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are generally excluded, provided that there is no demonstrable intentional or grossly negligent fault on the part of the author. All offers are non-binding and without obligation. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without separate announcement, or to discontinue publication temporarily or permanently.

2. References and Links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“links”) that lie outside the author’s area of responsibility, a liability obligation would only come into effect in the event that the author is aware of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the event of illegal content. The author therefore expressly declares that at the time the links were set, the corresponding linked pages were free of illegal content. The author has no influence on the current and future design or on the content of the linked/connected pages. Therefore, he hereby expressly distances himself from all content of all linked/connected pages that were changed after the link was set. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author’s own internet offer as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, and mailing lists set up by the author. Liability for illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and in particular for damages arising from the use or non-use of such information lies solely with the provider of the page to which reference was made, not with the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

3. Copyright and Trademark Law

The author endeavors to observe the copyrights of the graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts created by himself, or to use license-free graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts. All brand names and trademarks mentioned within the internet offer and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention alone does not allow the conclusion that trademarks are not protected by rights of third parties. The copyright for published objects created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Any reproduction or use of such graphics, audio 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 Disclaimer

This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet offer from which reference was made to this page. Should parts or individual formulations of this text not, no longer, or not fully correspond to the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaffected in their content and validity.
