Legal notice

1. Content of the online offer
The author does not guarantee the relevance, correctness, completeness and quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author of a material or non-material nature, which were caused by the use or non-use of the information presented or due to the use of incorrect and incomplete information shall be fundamentally excluded unless the author is not guilty of deliberate or gross negligence.
All the offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages, or the entire offer, without separate announcement or to discontinue publication temporarily or for good.

2. References and links
In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“hyperlinks”) that do not fall within the author’s area of responsibility, a liability obligation would only become effective if the author is aware of the contents and it would be technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent usage in the event of unlawful contents.
The author hereby expressly declares that at the time of the placing of the link no illegal contents were recognisable on the sites to be linked. The author does not have any influence upon the current and the future design, and upon the contents or the authorship of the linked/integrated sites. He thereby expressly distances himself from all the contents of all the linked/integrated sites, which were changed after placing the link. This exemption applies to all links and references placed within our own Internet offer and also to external entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists set up by the author, and in all other forms of databases, for the contents of which external write access is possible. In the event of illegal, defective or incomplete contents and especially claims arising as a result of the use or non-use of this type of presented information, the provider of the site to which they refer is exclusively liable, not the party who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

3. Copyrights and law on trademarks and related signs
The author makes every effort to observe the copyrights of the pictures, graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts used, to use pictures, graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts that he has produced himself, or to make recourse to graphics, sound documents, video sequences that are free of royalties.
All the brand names and trademarks referred to within the Internet offer and if need be registered by third parties are subject unconditionally to the regulations of the respectively valid labelling laws and the rights of possession of the respectively registered owners. It may not be assumed from the mere mention alone that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights!
The copyright for published objects produced by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Duplication or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express permission of the author.

4. Data protection
If there is a possibility of entering personal or business data (email addresses, names, addresses) within the internet offer, this divulged by the user on an expressly voluntary basis. Where technically possible and reasonable the utilisation and payment of all services offered is also permitted without stating such data or by stating anonymous data or a pseudonym. The use of the contact data published as part of the legal notice or comparable information such as the postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers as well as email addresses by third parties for the transmission of information that is not expressly requested is not permitted. Legal steps against senders of so-called spam mails in violation of this prohibition are expressly reserved.
