1. Content of the Online Services

The author makes no warranty as to the currency, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. Claims for liability against the author relating to material or non-material damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are generally excluded unless the author is demonstrably at fault through intent or gross negligence.

The above exclusion of liability also applies to the provider’s legal representatives and agents acting on its behalf in the performance of its obligations, where users bring claims against them. This exclusion does not apply to claims for damages arising from loss of life, bodily injury or damage to health, or from a breach of essential contractual obligations. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment is necessary to achieve the purpose of the contractual relationship.

All offers are subject to change and are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to modify, supplement or delete parts of the website or the entire Online Services, or to suspend or permanently discontinue publication, without separate notice.

If you suspect that this website infringes any of your intellectual property or other protected rights, please notify us immediately, for example by email, so that the matter can be remedied promptly. Please note that the more time-consuming involvement of a lawyer to issue a formal warning at the service provider’s expense does not reflect the provider’s actual or presumed wishes.

2. References and Links

For direct or indirect references to third-party websites (“hyperlinks”) outside the author’s area of responsibility, liability would arise only if the author were aware of the content and it were technically possible and reasonable for the author to prevent its use in the event of unlawful content.

The author expressly declares that no unlawful content was identifiable on the linked pages at the time the links were created. The author has no influence over the current or future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. The author therefore expressly disclaims any association with content on linked pages that has been changed since the links were created.

This statement applies to all links and references included within the author’s own Online Services, as well as to third-party entries in guestbooks, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists and all other forms of databases established by the author that allow external parties to submit content.

The provider of the referenced page alone is liable for unlawful, incorrect or incomplete content and, in particular, for damage resulting from the use or non-use of the information provided. Liability does not lie with the party that merely links to the respective publication.

3. Copyright and Trademark Rights

In all publications, the author endeavours to respect the copyright of the images, graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts used, to use images, graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts created by the author, or to use royalty-free graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts.

All brands and trademarks mentioned within the Online Services that may be protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the applicable trademark laws and the ownership rights of their respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by third-party rights.

Copyright in published material created by the author remains exclusively with the author of these pages. The reproduction or use of such graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author’s express consent.

4. Legal Validity of this Disclaimer

This disclaimer forms part of the Online Services from which this page was linked. If any parts or individual provisions of this text do not, no longer or do not fully comply with applicable law, the content and validity of the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected.
