1. Content of the online offer. The author accepts no responsibility for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to 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 excluded.

2. References and links. In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“links”) that are outside the author’s area of responsibility, liability would only arise in the event that the author was aware of the content and it would have been technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the event of illegal content.

The author therefore expressly declares that at the time the links were created, the linked pages were free of illegal content. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. He therefore hereby expressly distances himself from all content on all linked/referenced pages that has been changed since the links were created. This statement applies to all links and references within the author’s own website as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for damage resulting from the use or non-use of such information, the provider of the page to which reference is made is solely liable, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

3. Copyright and trademark law. The author endeavours to observe the copyrights of the graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts created by himself or to make use of licence-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. All brand names and trademarks mentioned on the website and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by the rights of third parties. The copyright for published objects created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Any duplication or use of objects such as graphics, sound files, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author’s express consent.

4. Legal validity of this disclaimer. This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet publication which you were referred from. If sections or individual terms of this statement are not legal or correct, the content or validity of the other parts remain uninfluenced by this fact.
