EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY

1. Content of online offer
The author accepts no liability for the up-to-date nature, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. The author cannot be held liable for any damages of a material or non-material nature caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or the use of inaccurate or incomplete information, unless proof of wilful intent or gross negligence on the part of the author is provided. All offers are subject to change and are non-binding. The author reserves the right to modify, supplement, delete or cease to publish (temporarily or permanently) parts or all of the offer without prior notification.

2. References and links
In the case of any direct or indirect links to external websites outside of the author’s area of responsibility, a liability obligation on the part of the author only arises if the author had knowledge of the content and where it would have been technically feasible and reasonable to prevent the use of any such illegal content. The author hereby confirms that the linked websites did not contain any illegal content at the point when the links were created. The author has no influence over the current or future design or the content of any linked websites. As such, the author is disassociated from any content on linked websites which has been changed after the links were created. This applies to all links and references contained in the author’s own website as well as any third party entries in any guestbooks, discussion forums or mailing lists provided by the author. Any illegal, inaccurate or incomplete content and in particular any damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information are the sole responsibility of the provider of the website to which a link has been created and not of the individual who created the link the publication in question.  

3. Copyright and trademark law
In all publications, the author has made every effort either to observe copyright law relating to any graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts used, to use graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts created by the author or to make use of licence-free graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts. All trademarks and brand names featured in the internet offer and protected by third parties are subject, without restriction, to the terms and conditions of the valid trademark and ownership rights of the relevant registered owner. It should not be assumed that a brand name is not legally protected by a third party just because it is cited on the website. The copyright for any published materials created by the author lies with the website author.  These graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts may not be duplicated or used in any other electronic or printed publication without the express permission of the author.
