1. Contents of the Online Offer

The author disclaims any warranty for the up-to-dateness, correctness, completeness or quality of the provided information. Liability claims against the author, which refer to damage of tangible or intangible kind caused by the use or disuse of the provided information or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are excluded, unless evidence for willful or grossly negligent action of the author exists. All offers are subject to change and not binding. The author expressly reserves the right of changing, supplementing or deleting parts of the pages or the whole offer or of temporarily or definitely suspending publication without particular notice.

2. References and Links

In case of direct or indirect references to external web pages (hyperlinks), which are beyond the author's responsibility, a liability obligation would come into effect only if the author had known the contents and if he had had the technical capability and if he could have been reasonably expected to prevent the use of unlawful contents. The author hereby expressly declares that, at the date of setting the link, no illegal contents were recognizable on the changes to be linked. The author has no influence on the current or future design, the contents or the authorship of the linked pages. He therefore expressly distances himself from the contents of all linked pages, which were changed after setting the link. This statement applies to all links and references set within the own internet offer, as well as to entries of external persons in the guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists created by the author. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and in particular for damage caused by the use or disuse of information thus provided, only the provider of the page shall be liable to which reference is made, and not the person who only makes reference to the publication concerned by setting the corresponding links.

3. Copyright and Trademark Laws

The author intends to take all care required to observe the copyrights of the diagrams, audio files, video clips and texts, to use diagrams, audio files, video clips and texts created by the author himself, or to resort to diagrams, audio files, video clips and texts in public domain. All brands and trademarks quoted in the internet offer and perhaps protected by the rights of third parties, are subject to the provisions of the individual applicable copyright and trademark law and the titles of the individual registered proprietors without any restrictions. Only the mere quotation does not allow for the conclusion that brands are not protected by the rights of third parties! The copyright for published objects created by the author himself will exclusively remain with the author of the pages himself. Copying or utilization of such diagrams, audio files, video clips and texts in other electronic or printed publications without express approval from the author is not allowed.

4. Data Protection

If the internet offer comprises the option to enter personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), the user discloses such data expressly voluntarily. The use and payment of all services offered is – if this is technically feasible and reasonably expectable – also permitted without disclosing such data or by using anonymised data or a pseudonym. The utilization of the contact data published within the scope of the company data and legal notice, such as post addresses, telephone and fax number as well as e-mail addresses by third parties for the purpose of sending not expressly requested information is not allowed. We expressly reserve the right to take legal actions against the senders of so-called spam mails in case of offenses against this prohibition.
