Exclusion of liability

1. Content of the online offer

The author does not guarantee the topicality, correctness and entirety or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author, due to damage of material or intrinsic value, caused by following or not following the information provided, or making use of wrong or incomplete information will be fundamentally rejected. It must otherwise be proven that the author can be accused of misbehaviour which is deliberate or grossly negligent.

All offers are subject to condition and are not binding. The author reserves the right  to change parts of pages or the entire offer without prior warning of temporarily or definitely changing, amending or erasing the offer.

2. Reference and links

In terms of direct or indirect references to other websites (hyperlinks), which do not belong to the author’s area of responsibility, a liability would only become effective if the author were familiar with the unlawful content and could technically have hindered the client’s access. The author claims that at the point of time of setting the links, no illegal content could be recognised on those pages. However, the author cannot influence the actual and future design, content or authorship of any linked page.

That’s why the author distances himself from the content of all linked pages, which have been amended after the link was set. The declaration is made for all set links and references in our internet offers , as well as for entries in the guest books, discussion forums, links, mailing lists and in all other data banks to which outsiders can gain access. The provider of the page which the user has been directed to and not the author establishing the link to that page, is responsible for any illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and especially for damages which result from using or not using the given information.

3. copyright and labelling law

It is the author’s duty to respect the copyright of all used diagrams, sound recordings, video sequences or texts. He can also use his own diagrams, sound recordings, video sequences or texts or he is allowed to use diagrams, sound recordings, video sequences or texts belonging to the public domain. All brands and trademarks offered on our web pages, and if applicable  protected by others are subject to the labelling law and the right of possession of the respective owner. Merely by naming this, one does not have to come to the conclusion that brands are not protected by the rights of others. The author has the copyright for published objects on his sites. Copying or using those diagrams, sound recordings, video sequences or texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author’s consent.

4. Data protection

If you are confronted with the possibility of entering your personal or commercial data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), you are not obliged to do so. You may use and pay for all services offered – if technically possible- without submitting any data, or merely submitting anonymous data or a pseudonym. It is not permitted to use contact data (Address, telephone number, fax and e-mail address) published in the imprint or similarly to send information to the address which has not been explicitly required. Legal steps against any person sending spam are reserved.

5. Legal validity of this exclusion of liability

This exclusion of liability is to be considered part of the internet offer which linked you to this site. In case those parts or a certain phraseology of this text do not comply entirely or partly with the actual legal situation, the validity of the other parts of this document is not effected.
