Data protection
1. Contents of the on-line offer
The author does not give any guarantee for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Any liability claims against the author, which refer to material or non-material damage, and which may be caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or, respectively, by the use of any incorrect or incomplete information, is generally excluded provided that no wilful or gross negligence can be proven on the part of the author. All offers are non-binding and non-committal. The author reserves the express right to change parts of the pages or to supplement, to delete or to remove the publication of the entire offer from time to time without giving special notification or to discontinue it permanently.
2. References and Links
In the case of direct or indirect references to external Internet sites ("Links") that do not fall within the author’s scope of responsibility, a legal obligation only applies if the contents of the sites are known to the author and if it is technically possible and reasonable for the author to prevent their use in the case of illegal contents. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were set up, no illegal content was apparent on the targeted site. The author does not have any influence on the current and future organisation, contents or authorship of the linked/targeted sites. Therefore he hereby expressly dissociates himself from all contents of all linked/targeted sites that were altered after the link was set up. This declaration applies to all links and references set up within the author’s own website offer as well as entries by third persons in discussion forums. The provider of the linked site alone shall be liable for any illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for losses resulting from the use or non-use of information that is provided through this link.
3. Copyright and Trademark law
The author endeavours to observe the copyrights for the graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts included in his publications, and to use his own graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts or to make use of graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts that do not require a licence. All the brands and trademarks specified in the Internet offer and, where applicable, those covered by the protective rights of a third party are subject without restriction to the legal provisions of the respectively valid trademark and rights of ownership of the respective registered owners. The fact that a trademark has merely been named shall not imply that trademarks are not protected by the rights of third parties! The copyright for any published items produced by the author himself shall be retained solely by the author of these pages. The duplication or use of such graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express authorisation of the author.
4. Data protection
If the web site contains options to enter personal or business data (names, addresses, e-mail addresses), the disclosure of this data by the user is done on an expressly voluntary basis. The use and payment of all offered services are permitted - if and so far as it is technically possible and reasonable - without specification of any personal data or by giving anonymous data or using an alias.
5. Legal validity of this disclaimer
This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the Internet offer, which was referred to on this site. If any parts or individual formulations of this text should fail to conform to the valid legal situation, or no longer conform or do not conform in full therewith, this shall not affect the content or validity of the remaining parts of the document.
