1. The Content of the On-Line Offer
The author shall assume no guarantees for the topicality, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information made available. Liability claims against the author, which shall refer to claims of a material or non-material nature, and which shall be caused through the use or non-use of the information presented or rather through the use of erroneous or incomplete information, are fundamentally excluded unless it can be proved that the author is guilty of gross negligence or willful deceit. All offers are provisional and unbinding. The author expressly reserves the right to alter, amend, or delete parts of pages or the entire offer without prior announcement or to partially or entirely cease publication.

2. References and Links
Through direct and indirect references to outside websites (so-called hyperlinks), which are beyond the author’s area of responsibility, a liability obligation would only come into force if the author had knowledge of the content of said websites and it would be technically possible and reasonable to prevent the use in cases of illegal content. The author herewith expressly declares that at the point in time when the link was created, no illegal content was recognisable on the linked website. The author further states that he has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked or referenced websites. Therefore, he expressly distances himself from the entire content of all linked or referenced websites, which were altered or amended after the link or reference was made. This statement shall apply to all links and references made within this website containing the Internet offering as well as outside entries in guestbooks, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists, and in all other forms of databases set up by the author and where the content can be altered through external written access. For illegal, erroneous, or incomplete content and in particular for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such offered information, only the provider of the website, to which the link or reference was made, shall be liable and not the person, who made reference to the publication through links only.

3. Copyright and Trademarks
The author endeavours to observe the intellectual property rights applying to all of the images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences, and written copy, and to use images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences, and written copy he prepared himself or license-free images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences, and written copy.

All of the brands and trademark mentioned within the Internet offer and possibly protected by third parties are subject to the unrestricted terms of the applicable property rights applying to the corresponding registered owner. It may not be concluded solely through mentioning that trademarks and brands are not protected by third-party rights. The copyright for published material from the author remains solely with the author of the website. The reproduction or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and written copy in other electronic or printed publications without the express authorisation of the author is not permitted.

4. Data Protection 
If the possibility exists within the Internet offer to enter personal or business information (e-mail address, name, address), the revelation of this information on the part of the user is expressly voluntary. The use and payment of all offered services is also permitted – if technically possible and feasible – without providing such information or through the use of anonymous data or a pseudonym. The use of the contact information provided in the imprint or comparable published contact information, such as mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address, is not permitted for the sending of information not expressly requested. We expressly reserve the right to take legal steps against such spam mail when this ban is violated.

5. Legal Effectiveness of this Exclusion of Liability 
This exclusion of liability shall be regarded as a part of this Internet offer, of which this part is an integral component. If parts or individual formulations of this text shall not conform or conform no longer or only in a complete manner to the legal position, the remaining parts of this document shall not be affected in their content or validity.
