1. Content of the Online Offer
The author assumes no liability for the up-to-dateness, correctness, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author, which refer to material or non-material damages caused by the use or non-use of the information presented, or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information, are generally excluded unless there is proven wilful or gross negligence on the part of the author. All offers are non-binding and without obligation. The author expressly reserves the right to change, add to, delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without separate announcement, or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.

2. References and Links
In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“hyperlinks”) that lie outside the area of responsibility of the author, a liability obligation would only come into force if the author had knowledge of the contents and it would be technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the case of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time of linking, no illegal content was identifiable on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked/connected pages. Therefore, he hereby expressly distances himself from all contents of all linked/connected pages that were changed after the link was set. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author’s own internet offer as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists, and in all other forms of databases set up by the author, to which external write access is possible. For illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content, and especially for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information, the provider of the page to which reference was made is solely liable, not the one who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

3. Copyright and Trademark Law
The author strives to observe the copyright of the images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences, and texts used in all publications, to use his own images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences, and texts or to resort to license-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences, and texts. All brands and trademarks mentioned within the internet offer and possibly protected by third parties are subject unconditionally to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention does not imply that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights! The copyright for published objects created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Reproduction or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences, and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author’s explicit consent.

4. Validity of This Disclaimer
This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet publication from which you were referred. 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.
