Disclaimer

1. Content of the Online Offer
   The author assumes no liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or immaterial damages caused by the use or non-use of the information presented or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are fundamentally excluded, unless there is proven intentional or grossly negligent fault on the part of the author. The contributions reflect the opinion of the respective author. All offers are non-binding and without obligation. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without separate announcement, or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.

2. Non-binding Nature of Information
   Oral or written information provided outside a business relationship is non-binding. The information provided on this website is of a general nature and non-binding.

3. Communication via Email
   Communication via email may have security vulnerabilities. For example, emails may be intercepted and viewed by skilled internet users while en route to our employees. If we receive an email from you, we assume that we are authorized to reply by email. Otherwise, you must explicitly refer to a different method of communication. Encryption of messages with common encryption standards (e.g., PGP) will only occur upon express request and confirmation.

4. References and Links
   In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“links”) that lie outside the author’s area of responsibility, liability would only arise if the author had knowledge of the content and it would have been technically possible and reasonable to prevent the use of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were set, no illegal content was recognizable on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked/connected pages. Therefore, he expressly distances himself from all contents of all linked/connected pages that were changed after the link was set. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author’s own internet offer as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums, and mailing lists set up by the author. For illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and particularly for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information presented, only the provider of the page referred to is liable, not the one who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

5. Copyright and Trademark Law
   The author strives to observe the copyrights of the graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts created by himself, or to resort to license-free graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts. All brand names and trademarks mentioned within the internet offering 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 mere mention does not imply that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights! The copyright for published objects created by the author remains solely with the author of the pages. Any duplication or use of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences, and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author. Prints, photocopies, and downloads of web pages may only be made for personal, private, and non-commercial use.

6. Legal Validity of this Disclaimer
   This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet offer from which reference was made to this page. If parts or individual formulations of this text do not, no longer, or not completely comply with the applicable legal situation, the content and validity of the remaining parts of the document shall remain unaffected.
