1. Content of the online offer

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on this site according to general law, pursuant to § 6 para.1 MDStV (Media Services Agreement) and § 8 para. 1 TDG (Teleservices Act). However, service providers are not obliged to monitor third-party information that you have transferred to us or that is saved by us, or to research circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Commitments to the removal or blocking of use of information according to general law remains unaffected by this. However, liability regarding this is only possible from the time point of awareness of a specific infringement. Where we are made aware of corresponding infringements we shall promptly remove this content.

The author assumes no guarantee for up-to-dateness, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Claims for liability against the author relating to loss of a material or non-material kind incurred via the use or non-use of information displayed, or via the use of incorrect and/or incomplete information is fundamentally excluded, where no intent or grossly negligent culpability can be proven on the part of the author.

All offers are subject to confirmation and non-binding. The author reserves the express right to amend, supplement or delete parts of the site or the entire offer without advance information, or to cease publication either temporarily or conclusively.

2. References and links
In the case of direct or indirect reference to third party internet sites (“links”) that lie beyond the scope of responsibility of the author liability shall exist exclusively in cases where the author is aware of the content and it is technically possible and feasible to prevent use in the case of illegal content.

The linked sites were checked for possible infringements at the time of the link being established. Illegal content was not recognisable at the time of linking. However, without specific indication of an infringement, permanent control of the content of linked sites cannot be reasonably expected. Where we are made aware of corresponding infringements we shall promptly remove such links.

The author therefore expressly declares that, at the time of the establishment of the link, the linked site was free of illegal content. The author has no influence whatsoever on the future design, content or copyright of the sites to which links have been established. The author therefore expressly distances himself from all content of sites to which links have been established that is amended following the establishing of the link. This statement also applies to all links and references within the own internet offer, as well as for third party entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists established by the author. Liability for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and, in particular, for loss incurred from the use or non-use of such information offered remains solely with the provider of the site to which the link is established, not to the provider from whose site links to the respective publication are merely established.
