Legal Information and Exclusion of Liability

1. Content of the Online Offerings

The author of these pages does not guarantee that the information provided is current, accurate, complete, or of a specific quality. Liability claims made against the author due to damages of a material or ideational nature that are caused by the use or failure to use the provided information or by the use of erroneous and incomplete information are generally excluded, as long as there is no evidence of intentional or gross negligence on the part of the author. This does not apply to damages arising from injuries to life or limb, or damage to health. All offers are provided without obligation and are non-binding. The author explicitly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete, or publish parts of the pages or the entire offering temporarily or permanently without making special announcements and effective for the future.

2. References and Links

When direct or indirect reference ("links") is made to third-party websites that are outside the author's sphere of responsibility, the author can only be held legally liable for the content if the author knew of the content and it would have been technically feasible and reasonable for the author to prevent use in case of unlawful content. The author hereby explicitly declares that no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages at the time the link was established. The author has absolutely no control over the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked or connected pages. For this reason, the author hereby explicitly distances themselves from any content contained in linked or connected pages that are changed after the link is established. This statement applies to all links and references placed within the author's own Internet offerings as well as for third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, and mailing lists set up by the author. The provider of the corresponding page being linked to is solely liable for illegal, erroneous, or incomplete content and particularly for damages arising from the use or failure to use such information and not the person who merely links to the publication.

3. Copyright and Trademark Law

The author makes every effort to respect the copyrights of the graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts; to use graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts created by the author themselves; or to make use of license-free graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts. All trademarks and brands incorporated into the internet offerings that may belong to third parties are subject to the conditions of the respectively applicable trademark law and the property rights of the respective registered owner without limitation. Merely the fact that something is mentioned does not mean that trademarks are not protected by the rights of third parties! The originator of the page retains the sole copyright for published objects created by the author themselves. Such graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts in other electronic or printed publications can only be duplicated or used with the explicit approval of the author.
