Disclaimer

(1) Limitation of liability

Contents of this Website
The contents of this website are created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider does not accept any warranty for the correctness, completeness and up-to-date (ness) of contents provided. Use of the retrievable content shall take place at the user's own risk. Contributions bearing names reflect the opinion of the respective author and do not always express the opinion of the provider.

Availability of the Website
The provider will endeavour to make the service available for retrieval free from interruptions as far as possible. Despite all care, however, downtimes cannot be ruled out. The provider reserves the right to alter or discontinue its offer at any time.

External Links
This website contains links to third-party websites ("external links"). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. At the first time of such links being established, the provider checked the external content in every case for possible infringements of the law. At that time, no infringements of the law were found. However, the provider has no influence whatsoever on the current and future composition and contents of linked pages. The establishment of external links does not mean that the provider endorses any content to which the reference or link refers. Continuous supervision of such external links without specific evidence of an infringement of the law cannot reasonably be expected from the provider. In the event of any infringements of the law coming to the provider's knowledge, the external links concerned will be deleted without delay.

Advertisements
The contents of advertisements and advertised websites shall be the sole responsibility of their respective authors.

No Contractual Relationship
Use of the website offered by the provider shall not give rise to any contractual relationship between the user and the provider. As a consequence, no contractual or quasi-contractual claims shall result against the provider either. In the event of use of the website leading to a contractual relationship nevertheless, the following limitation of liability shall apply purely as a matter of precaution: the provider shall be liable for wilful misconduct and gross negligence as well as in the event of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) being violated. For damage attributable to a slightly negligent infringement of cardinal obligations by the provider or one of its legal representatives or auxiliary persons, the provider's liability shall be limited to replacement of such damage that was foreseeable upon conclusion of the contract as being typical of this kind of contract. In the event of slightly negligent infringement of secondary obligations not being cardinal obligations, the provider shall not be liable. The liability for damage coming under the scope of protection of a guarantee or promise given by the provider as well as the liability for claims based on the Product Liability Act and damage resulting from injury to life, body or health shall remain unaffected by this limitation of liability clause.

Any commercialisation not admissible under German copyright law shall require the prior written consent of the respective author or creator.

Contents and contributions of third parties shall be marked accordingly. Unauthorised copying or forwarding of individual content or complete pages is not permitted and punishable.

(3) Data Protection
As a result of visits to the website of the provider, information on the access (date, time, viewed page) may be stored on the server. These data do not form part of the personal data, but are anonymised. They will be evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes. The data will not be forwarded to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes. In addition, data may be stored on the computers of website users. These data are referred to as "cookies", serving to simplify access for users. Users have the opportunity to deactivate this function in their respective web browsers at any time. However, this may result in the functions of our website being restricted. The provider expressly points out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. in case of communication by e-mail) may involve security gaps and cannot be totally protected against third-party access. Use of the contact data supplied by the provider – especially telephone/fax numbers and the e-mail address – for commercial advertising purposes is expressly not desired unless the provider has given its prior written consent or a business contact is already in place. The provider and all persons referred to on this website hereby object to any commercial use and transfer of their data.
