Disclaimer
1. Content of Online Offerings
The author reserves the right not to be responsible for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Always provided that the author is not proved to have been willfully or grossly negligent, the author will not accept any claims for damages, of either a material or immaterial nature, which may be caused by the use or otherwise of any of the information provided, or caused by acting upon false and inaccurate information. The author expressly reserves the right to amend, supplement, delete or close down certain pages or the entire site without prior notice.
2. Referrals and links
Concerning direct or indirect references to other websites („hyperlinks“) that are beyond the author’s responsibility, the author’s liability will have effect only if the author has knowledge of the contents and if it is technically feasible and reasonable for the author to prevent their use should these contents be illicit. Hereby the author expressly declares that at the time the link was set up, no illicit contents of the linked site could be discerned. The author has no influence whatsoever over the current or future design or contents of other internet pages which are either directly or indirectly referred to on his site (links). The author therefore expressly disassociates himself herewith from anything contained on any linked pages that have been altered after the link was put up. This equally applies to all links and references made within the author’s own website as well as to any entries which may be made by others in guest books, discussion forums, link indexes, mailing lists organised by the author. This also includes all other forms of data files that allow external writing access. Regarding illicit, inaccurate and incomplete contents and in particular damages that result from the use or otherwise of any of the information provided through sources as described above, only the author of website that is referred to via link, can be held liable. The author who merely refers to the particular publication is not to be held liable.
3. Copyright and Trade Marks
With regard to publications, the author is obliged to uphold the authors’ copyright concerning any graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts which may be used. The author endeavours only to make use of graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts produced by the author himself, or to draw on licence-free graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts. Without restriction all trade marks and brand names mentioned within the online offerings, are subject to the regulations and the rights of the registered proprietor. This also applies if they are registered in the name of a third party. The sole mentioning of trade marks and brands cannot lead to the conclusion that these are not protected by rights of a third party! The copyright for published material from the author himself remains with the author of the website as the sole user. Unless the material is clearly stated to be licence-free or unless more specific licensing conditions are explicitly mentioned, it is prohibited to reproduce or use any graphics, audio recordings, video sequences and texts displayed on the internet pages of the author in other electronic or printed publications without having obtained the prior consent of the author concerned.
4. Privacy Policy
In the event that any parts of the author’s internet site may contain the possibility to enter personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, postal addresses), provision of any such information will be entirely voluntary on the part of the user. The use and payment of all offered services are permitted – if and as far as technically possible and reasonable – without specification of any personal data or under specification of anonymised data or an alias. The use of published contact data from company details such as postal addresses, telephone or fax numbers and email addresses or similar information for marketing purposes is prohibited. The author explicitly reserves himself the right to take legal action against offenders sending unwanted spam messages.
5. Legal validity of this disclaimer
This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet publication which you were referred from. If sections or individual terms of this statement are not legal or correct, the content or validity of the other parts remain uninfluenced by this fact.
