1. Content of the online offering
The author makes no warranty whatsoever for the timeliness, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Claims for liability against the author, whether related to damage of a material or a non-material nature which is caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or through the use of faulty or incomplete information, are as a matter of principle excluded insofar as there is no demonstrable malicious intent or gross negligence on the part of the author. All offers are without obligation and are not binding. The author expressly reserves the right to alter, supplement, delete or temporarily or finally cease publication of parts of the pages or the whole site, without separate announcement.

2. References and links
For direct or indirect references to external Internet pages (“links”) which are outside the sphere of responsibility of the author, an obligation to liability arises exclusively in the case that the author had knowledge of the content and that it would have been technically possible for him and could reasonably have been expected of him to prevent usage in the case of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time of creating the link, no illegal content was recognisable on the pages linked to. The author has no influence of any kind whatsoever on the current and future format, content or authorship of the linked pages. He therefore distances himself expressly from all content on all linked pages which are changed after the link is made. This determination applies to all links and references made within the Internet site of the author and for external entries in guest-books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. Liability for illegal, erroneous or incomplete content and particularly for damage which arises from the use or non-use of such kinds of information provided lies solely with the provider of the page to which reference is made, not with the person who only makes reference to the respective publication.

3. Copyright and trademarks
The author makes endeavours in all publications to observe the copyrights of the graphics, audio documents, video sequences and text used, to use graphics, audio documents, video sequences and text created by him or to have recourse to graphics, audio documents, video sequences and text which are in the public domain. All trademarks named within the Internet site and which are potentially protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the determinations of the respective trade mark law applicable and to the rights of ownership of the respective registered owners. It cannot be concluded that trademarks are not protected by the rights of third parties solely because they are named! The copyright for the objects created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Reproduction or use of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences and text in other electronic forms or in printed publications is not permitted without the express agreement of the author.

4. Data Protection
Should the possibility exist within the Internet site of entering personal or business data (email addresses, names, addresses), this data is provided by the user on an expressly voluntary basis. The availment of and payment for all services offered is – as far as is technically possible and can reasonably be expected – also permitted without the input of such data or by providing anonymised data or a pseudonym.

5. Legal effectiveness of this disclaimer
This disclaimer is to be regarded as forming a part of the Internet site from which reference was made to this page. Insofar as parts or individual formulations of this text do not or no longer or do not completely conform to the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected in their content and in their applicability.
