Disclaimer

1. Content of the Online Offering
   The author assumes no liability whatsoever for the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Claims for liability against the author relating to material or non-material damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are generally excluded unless there is proven intentional or grossly negligent fault on the part of the author.

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

1. References and Links
   In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“links”) that lie outside the author’s area of responsibility, liability would only arise if the author had knowledge of the contents and it was technically possible and reasonable to prevent use in the case of unlawful content.

The author hereby expressly declares that, at the time the links were created, the linked pages were free of illegal content. The author has no influence on the current or future design or content of the linked pages. Therefore, the author hereby expressly distances themselves from all content of all linked pages that were changed after the link was set.

This applies to all links and references set within the author’s own online offering 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 damages arising from the use or non-use of such information—rests solely with the provider of the page referenced, not with the person who merely refers to the publication via links.

1. Copyright and Trademark Law
   The author endeavors to observe the copyrights of the graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts created by the author themselves, or to use license-free materials.

All brand names and trademarks mentioned within the online offering and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by third-party rights.

The copyright for published objects created by the author remains solely with the author of the pages. Reproduction or use of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author’s express consent.

1. Legal Validity of This Disclaimer
   This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the online offering from which reference was made to this page. If parts or individual formulations of this text do not, no longer, or not fully comply with the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaffected in their content and validity.
