DISCLAIMER
1. Online content
The author reserves the right not to be responsible for the topicality, correctness, completeness, or
quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author of a material or immaterial
nature caused by the use or non-use of any information provided through the use of incorrect and
incomplete information are excluded, unless the author is intentionally at fault or grossly
negligent.
All offers are non-binding and without obligation. The author expressly reserves the right to
change,
add to or delete sections of the webpages or the entire service offered without prior notice, or to
temporarily/permanently cease publication.
2. References and links
With direct or indirect references to external websites ("hyperlinks") which lie outside the
responsibility of the author, liability would only enter into force for cases in which the author
has
knowledge of the contents and if it were technically possible and reasonable to prevent the use of
illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that, at the time of linking, no illegal
content
was found on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the current and future content or
authorship of the linked sites. The author therefore expressly declines responsibility for the
content
of all linked sites which were changed after the creation of the link. This applies to all links and
references on the website, as well as to external entries in the author's guest books, discussion
forums, link directories, mailing lists, and all other types of databases to which external access
is
possible. The provider of the linked website, not the party that merely established the link is
solely
liable for illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content, and in particular for damages resulting from
the
use or non-use of such information.
3. Copyright and trademark rights
The author endeavours to observe the copyright of all the used images, graphics, audio files, video
sequences, and texts, and to use the author's own images, graphics, audio files, video sequences,
and
texts, or to use licence-free graphics, sound files, video sequences and texts. All brand names and
trademarks mentioned on the website, including those protected by third parties, are subject in full
to
the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered
owners. A mere mention does not imply that trademarks are not protected by third party rights! The
copyright for any published material created by the author remains solely with the author of the
site.
Any duplication or use of such graphics, audio files, video sequences, and texts in other electronic
or
printed publications is not permitted without the express permission of the author.
4. Data protection
If the opportunity arises for visitors to the site to enter personal or business-related data (email
addresses, name, addresses), entering this data on the part of the user is on a voluntary basis. The
use
and payment of all offered services are permitted - if technically possible and reasonable - without
specification of any personal data or under specification of anonymised data or an alias. The use of
contact data published within the framework of this legal notice or comparable information such as
postal addresses, telephone or fax numbers and email addresses by third parties for sending of
unsolicited information is prohibited. Legal action against senders of spam mails in violation of
this
prohibition is expressly reserved. By visiting the operator's website, information relating to the
access (date, time, page accessed) can be stored on the server. This data does not involve personal
data; it is anonymised. This data is used solely for statistical purposes. We hereby give notice
that
data transmitted via the Internet (e.g. via email communication) may be subject to security
breaches.
The complete protection of any data against access by third parties is not possible. The use of the
contact data published as part of the obligation to provide publication details in imprint by third
parties for sending expressly unsolicited advertisement and informational materials is hereby
expressly
excluded. The operators of the sites reserve the right to take express legal steps in the case of
unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as through spam emails. This website uses
Google
Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses what are
known as "cookies", text files which are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website
to
be analysed. As a rule, the cookie-generated data regarding your use of this website will be
forwarded
to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the case of activation of IP anonymisation on
this
website, however, your IP address will be stored by Google in shortened form within member countries
of
the European Union or in other countries that are contracting parties to the agreement in the
European
Economic Area. Only in exceptional instances is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server
in
the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this
website
to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website
operator with other services related to website usage and Internet activity. Google Analytics will
not
link the IP address transferred by your browser with any other data held by Google. You can prevent
the
storage of these cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However,
please
be advised that by doing so you may be unable to use some features of this website. Furthermore, you
can
prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to the usage of the website
(incl.
your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser

website
Google Analytics has been extended with the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" in order to ensure the
anonymous
collection of IP addresses (IP masking).
