Disclaimer - legal notice

1. limitation of liability

The contents of this website are created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the content provided. The use of the contents of the website is at the user's own risk. Contributions identified by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and not always the opinion of the provider. The mere use of the provider's website does not constitute any contractual relationship between the user and the provider.

 

2. external links

This website contains links to third-party websites ("external links"). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. When the external links were first created, the provider checked the third-party content for any legal violations. At that time, no legal violations were apparent. The provider has no influence on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. The inclusion of external links does not imply that the provider adopts the content behind the reference or link as its own. It is not reasonable for the provider to constantly monitor the external links without concrete evidence of legal violations. However, such external links will be deleted immediately if legal violations become known.

 

3. copyrights and ancillary copyrights

The content published on this website is subject to German copyright and ancillary copyright law. Any use not permitted by German copyright and ancillary copyright law requires the prior written consent of the provider or the respective copyright holder. This applies in particular to the copying, editing, translation, storage, processing or reproduction of content in databases or other electronic media and systems. Contents and rights of third parties are marked as such. The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of individual content or complete pages is not permitted and is punishable by law. Only the production of copies and downloads for personal, private and non-commercial use is permitted.

4. data protection

By visiting the website of the provider, information about the access (date, time, page viewed) can be stored. These data do not belong to the personal data, but are anonymized. They are evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes. A transfer to third parties, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, does not take place.

The provider expressly points out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) has security gaps and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties.
