Conditions of Use / Disclaimer

1. Content of the Online Offer

The author assumes no responsibility whatsoever for the up-to-dateness, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author that are based on material or immaterial 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 there is proof of intention or gross negligence on the author's part.

All offers are made subject to confirmation and are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete individual pages or the entire offer without prior notice, as well as to suspend publication temporarily or permanently.

2. Cross-References and Links

In case of direct or indirect references ("links") to third-party web pages beyond the author's sphere of responsibility and control, liability would only and exclusively take effect if the author had knowledge of the contents of those pages and if it were technically possible for him, and could be reasonably expected from him, to prevent their use if they contained any illegal contents.

The author hereby declares expressly that he knew of no illegal contents on the pages linked to at the time when the respective link was created. As the author has no influence on the current and future design or the contents or the authorship of the pages linked to, he hereby dissociates himself expressly from all contents that have been modified after establishing the link to any of those pages. This disclaimer applies to any links or references established within our own Internet offer, as well as to third-party entries made in guest books, discussion fora or mailing lists set up by the author. The responsibility for any illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and, in particular, for damage caused by the use or non-use of any such information, shall lie exclusively with the provider of the respective page, not with the person simply linking to the respective publication.

3. Copyright & Trademark Rights

The author endeavors, to the greatest extent possible, to observe the copyrights of any graphics, audio documents, video sequences or texts used in any of his publications, and to use his own graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts or to make use of graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts that are in the public domain and as such not subject to license fees.

All brands and trademarks mentioned in this Internet offer, including those protected by third-party rights, are deemed to be subject, without any reservation, to the provisions of the trademark right currently in force, as well as to the property rights of the registered users. The mere mentioning of any such brand or trademark shall not be deemed to mean that the respective mark is not protected by third-party rights!

The copyright for published objects created by the author himself rests solely with the author of the respective pages. The reproduction or use of any such graphics, audio documents, video sequences or texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's express consent.

4. Data Protection

Where this Internet offer includes a possibility for the user to enter personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, mailing addresses), such information shall be deemed to have been provided by the user on an expressly voluntary basis. All services offered can be used and paid for - as far as technically feasible and reasonable - without the provision of such data or simply by entering anonymized data or using an alias.

5. Legal Validity of this Disclaimer

This disclaimer shall be deemed part of the Internet offer that linked to this page. If parts or specific formulations of this text do not, or no longer or only partially comply with current laws and regulations, this shall not affect the contents and validity of the remaining sections of this document.
