1. Content of the online offer
The author accepts no responsibility for the topicality, correctness, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are excluded, unless there is evidence of wilful intent or gross negligence on the part of the author. All offers are non-binding and subject to change. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without prior notice or to discontinue publication temporarily or permanently.

2. References and links
In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“hyperlinks”) that are outside the author’s area of responsibility, liability would only arise in the event that the author was aware of the content and it would have been technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the event of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were created, no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, he hereby expressly distances himself from all content on all linked pages that has been changed since the links were created. This statement applies to all links and references within the author’s own website as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists, and all other forms of databases set up by the author to which external write access is possible. For illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and in particular for damage resulting from the use or non-use of such information, the provider of the page to which reference is made is solely liable, not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

3. Copyright and trademark law
The author endeavors to observe the copyrights of the graphics, sound documents, video sequences, and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, sound documents, video sequences, and texts created by himself, or to make use of license-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences, and texts. All brands and trademarks mentioned on the website 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 copyright for published objects created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Any duplication or use of objects such as graphics, sound files, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author’s express consent.

4. Legal validity of this disclaimer
