Disclaimer

       1.   Online content
             The author offers no guarantee of the accuracy, correctness,
             completeness or quality of the information provided. No liability claims
             may be made against the author in relation to material or immaterial
             damage resulting from the use or non-use of the information provided or
             from the use of erroneous or incomplete information, insofar as there is
             no evidence of intent or gross negligence on the part of the author. All
             offers are without engagement and non-binding. The author expressly
             retains the right to modify, add to or remove parts of web pages or the
             entire web content or to temporarily or permanently cease publication of
             same without notice.
       2.   Links
             With reference to direct or indirect links (hyperlinks) to external
             websites which lie outside the author’s sphere of responsibility,
             liability shall only be considered to exist in the event of the author
             having knowledge of the content and if it is technically possible and
             reasonable for him to prevent the use of such content, should it be
             unlawful. The author hereby expressly declares that no illegal content
             was identified on any linked sites at the time when the link was
             created. The author has no influence whatsoever over the current or
             future design, content or ownership of linked sites. The author
             therefore expressly distances himself from all content on linked sites
             which was modified after the link was created. The same applies to all
             links created within the author’s own web content and to external
             postings in guest books, discussion forums, directories of links and
             mailing lists set up by the author and in all other forms of database in
             which material may be posted by external parties. The provider of the
             site to which a link is provided shall be solely responsible for
             illegal, erroneous or incomplete content and particularly for damage
             resulting from the use or non-use of such information, and not the
             provider of the site which simply provides a link to the published
             material in question.
       3.   Copyright and trademarks
             In all published material, the author strives to respect copyright for
             images, graphics, sound files, video clips and texts, to use images,
             graphics, sound files, video clips and texts which he himself has
             produced or to use graphics, sound files, video clips and texts which
             are in the public domain. All trademarks and logos used on this site,
             which may be protected by third parties, are subject without limitation
             to the provisions of applicable trademark law and the ownership rights
             of the registered owner. The fact that a trademark or logo is used
             should not be taken to mean that it is not protected by the rights of
             third parties. The author of the site retains sole copyright for
             published material which he himself has produced. The reproduction or
             use of such graphics, sound files, video clips and texts in other
             electronic or printed publications is prohibited without the express
             permission of the author.
       4.   Data protection
             Where it is possible on this site to submit personal or business
             information (e-mail addresses, names, postal addresses), the user
             expressly divulges this information on a voluntary basis. Where
             technically feasible and reasonable, users may utilise and pay for all
             services offered without providing such information or by providing
             anonymised information or a pseudonym. The use of contact details
             provided in this section (‘Legal information’) or in similar sources,
             such as postal addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers and e-mail
             addresses, to distribute unsolicited information is prohibited. The
             company expressly reserves the right to take legal action against
             senders of spam e-mails who infringe this ban.</li>
