Disclaimer

1.  Content of the Online Offer

The author accepts no responsibility for the correctness, completeness or quality, of the information provided nor for it being up to date. Liability claims against the author, relating to losses of a tangible or intangible nature, brought about by the use or non-use of the information presented or through the use of incorrect and incomplete information are excluded on principle, unless deliberate or grossly negligent faults on the part of the author can be proved. All offers are non-binding and subject to change without notice. The author expressly reserves the right from time to time to change, add to or delete parts of the pages or the whole offer or to discontinue the publication for good without making a separate announcement.

2.  References and links

In the case of direct or indirect references to other internet pages ("links") that lie outside the authors area of responsibility an obligation to liability would only come into effect if the author had knowledge of the content and it was technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent the use of any illegal content. The author therefore expressly states that at the time the connection to the respective linked pages was created they were free of illegal content. The author has no influence of any kind over the current and future design or content of the linked/connected pages. For this reason he explicitly dissociates himself from all content on all linked/connected pages that have been changed since the link was set up. This statement is valid for all links and references set up within our own internet offer as well as for foreign entries in visitors books, discussions forums and mailing lists set up by the author. Only the supplier of the site to which reference was made is liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for losses that arise from the use or non-use of that kind of presentation material, not the one who only refers to the current publication by means of links.

3. Copyright and Trademark Law

In all publications, the author endeavours to observe the copyright of graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts utilised, to use graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts that he has created himself or to fall back on licence free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. All brand names and trade marks named within the internet offer and if applicable protected by third parties are subject, without reservation, to the regulations of the current trademark law and ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The conclusion is not to be drawn that simply by naming them brand names are not protected by third party rights. The copyright for published objects drawn up by the author himself belongs solely to the author of the pages. Duplication or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not allowed without the explicit approval of the author.

4.  Legal validity of this liability disclaimer

This liability disclaimer is to be seen as part of the internet offer in which reference is made to these pages. As far as sections or particular wording within this text fail to comply with, no longer comply with or do not completely comply with the prevailing legal position, the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected in their content and validity.
