Disclaimer of Liability
1. Content of the website
The author accepts no liability for the currency, correctness, completeness or quality of the information supplied. Material or ideational claims for liability against the author that are caused by the use or non-use of the information displayed or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information are generally precluded, unless the author is demonstrably liable due to intent or gross negligence. All website content is without engagement and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of pages or the entire website without separate notification, or to cease its publication occasionally or permanently.
2. References and links
Where there are direct or indirect links to external web pages that are outside the sphere of responsibility of the author, a liability obligation would only exist where the author was aware of the content and it would be technically feasible and reasonable for the author to prevent its use in the case of unlawful content. The author therefore expressly declares that the corresponding linked pages were free of illegal content at the time the link was included. The author has no influence whatsoever over the current and future layout or content of linked/connected pages. The author therefore distances himself/herself expressly herewith from all content of all linked/connected pages that were changed after the links were included. This assertion applies to all links placed within the proprietary webpages and to third-party entries in guestbooks, discussion fora and mailing lists set up by the author. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete content, and particularly for damages due to the use or non-use of such featured information, only the provider of the linked page is liable, not the provider of the page which merely links to the publication in question.
3. Copyright and Trademark Rights
In all publications, the author will endeavour to observe the copyrights of the graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts used, to use self-created graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts or to utilise license-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts.
All brand names and trade marks mentioned on the website and, where applicable, protected by third parties, are unrestrictedly subject to the stipulations of applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the registered owner. The mere mention of a brand name does not indicate that it is not protected by the rights of third parties.
The copyright for published objects created by the author are retained by the author of the pages. Reproduction or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author.
4. Validity of this Disclaimer of Liability
This disclaimer of liability must be viewed as part of the website from which this page was reached. If parts or individual formulations in this text should not correspond to the prevailing legal position in full or part, or should no longer do so, the content and validity of the other parts of the document remain unaffected.
