All rights reserved. The texts, images, graphics and data etc. are subject to copyright and other laws for the protection of intellectual property. Their distribution, alteration, commercial use or use on other websites or media is not permitted.

Of note, according to the German Teleservices Act (TDG):
When reference is made via so-called links to third party websites, the respective providers of these sites bear liability. The author of this website is not responsible for the contents of such third party sites. Furthermore, third-party websites can allow access to this website by means of so-called links without the author’s knowledge. The author assumes no responsibility for representations, contents or any sort of connection to the party affiliation of the publishers of third party websites. The author is only then responsible for third-party content if he has knowledge of such content (i.e. illegal or criminal content) and it is technically feasible and reasonable to block the use of such content. The author is not obliged by the German Teleservices Act to constantly monitor third-party content.

Disclaimer

1. Website Content
The author assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided.

All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author reserves the express right to change, supplement or delete parts of the offer or the entire website without prior notice, or to discontinue publication temporarily or permanently.

2. References and Links
In the case of direct or indirect references to other internet sites (links) that lie outside the author’s area of responsibility, liability would be assumed solely in those cases in which the author had prior knowledge of their contents and where it would have been technically feasible and reasonable to prevent the utilisation of any illegal contents. The author hereby expressly declares that, at the time of linking, there was no evidence of any illegal content on the linked websites. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current or future design, content or authorship of linked pages. Therefore, the author hereby expressly distances itself from all content on pages linked to this website which has been altered following establishment of the link, and in no way asserts ownership of such content. This disclaimer applies to all links and references introduced within the scope of this website as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. Liability for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for any damages resulting from the use or non-use of information presented in this manner lies exclusively with the provider of the website to which reference is made and not with the party merely referring to such published material by means of links.

All brand names and trademarks mentioned and, if applicable, protected by third party rights, are subject to the unrestricted provisions of the applicable trademark law and ownership rights of the registered owner. It should not be assumed that through a simple reference to a trademark it is not protected by the rights third parties! The copyright for a published object created by the author remains the sole property of the author of the website. Reproduction or use of such graphics, sound files, video clips and texts in other electronic or print publications is not permitted without the expressed consent of the author.
