Disclaimer
Content of the online offer
The author assumes no liability of any kind for ensuring that the information provided is up to date, correct or complete or for its quality. Liability claims against the author that relate to damages of a material or non-material kind and that have been caused by the use or non-use of the information presented or through the use of incorrect and incomplete information are excluded in principle if no verifiably wilful misconduct or grossly negligent fault on the part of the author is present. All offers are subject to change and not binding. The author expressly reserves the right to amend, supplement or delete parts of pages of the entire offer or the temporarily or definitively cancel publication without separate notice.
References and links
In the case of direct or indirect references to third-party websites (hyperlinks) that do not fall within the sphere of responsibility of the author, a liability obligation would come into effect exclusively in the event in which the author was aware of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for the author to prevent its use if the content were illegal. The author herewith expressly states that no illegal content was in evidence on the pages linked to at the time the link was created. The author has no influence of any kind on the current and future design, content or copyright of the linked pages. He therefore herewith expressly dissociates himself from all contents of all linked pages that have been modified after the link was created. This declaration applies to all links and references created within the author’s own Internet offer as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, lists of links, mailing lists and in all other forms of databases set up by the author where it is possible to gain write access to their contents. Exclusively the provider of the page to which is referred is liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for damages that are incurred from the use or non-use of information presented in this way, and not the person who merely referred to the publication in question by means of a link.
Copyright and trademark law
The author endeavours to respect the copyrights of the images, graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts used, to use images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts that he has himself created or to make use of royalty-free images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in all publications. All trade marks and brand names mentioned within the Internet offer and possibly protected by third parties are subject without reservation to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the rights of possession of the relevant registered owner. The conclusion that a trade mark is not protected by third-party rights cannot be drawn solely from the mere mention of the trade mark. The copyright for published items created by the author himself remains exclusively with the author of the pages. Any reproduction or use of graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author.
Legal force of this disclaimer
This disclaimer is to be considered part of the Internet offer from which this page was accessed. If parts or individual formulations of this text should not, no longer or not completely be consistent with the applicable legal situation, the contents and validity of the remaining parts of the documents shall not be affected by that.
