1. Content of the online offer

The author assumes no responsibility for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author, which refer to damages of material or immaterial nature caused by use or disuse of the presented information or through the use of faulty and incomplete information are fundamentally excluded, provided that no demonstrably intentional or grossly negligent fault exists on part of the author.All offers are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to alter, amend, delete or cease publication of parts of pages or the entire offer temporarily or permanently without separate announcement.

2. References and links

In case of direct or indirect references to websites belonging to other parties (‘hyperlinks’) that lie outside the area of responsibility of the author, an obligation of liability would come into effect exclusively in the event that the author has knowledge of the contents and that it would be technically possible and reasonable for the author to prevent usage in the event of illegal contents. The author herewith expressly declares that at the times the links were established, no illegal content was recognizable on the linked sites.

The author has no influence on the current and future design, contents and authorship of any of the linked sites/pages. He therefore expressly distances himself from all content of all linked/referenced pages that have been changed after placing the links. This statement is valid for all links and references within the website as well as for links and references from third parties in guestbooks, discussion forums and mailing lists created by the author. Any illegal, incorrect or incomplete content, and particularly any damage resulting from the use or disuse of such information, is the sole responsibility of the provider of the site to which a link has been made and not the person who merely made the link to the publication in question.
