Data Policies and Disclaimer
1. Subject matter of online content
The author accepts no guarantee whatsoever in respect of the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Any claims for liability against the author, relating to material or non-material damage caused by the use or non-use of the information presented or by the use of erroneous and incomplete information, are, on principle, excluded, unless the author can be proven to have acted intentionally or with gross negligence.
All internet content is subject to confirmation and is non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to amend, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire content, without prior notice or to suspend or terminate the content.
2. Referrals and links
With regard to direct or indirect referrals to external websites (“links”) that are not the responsibility of the author, an exclusion of liability would only take effect in the event that the author is aware of the content and the author is technically able and can reasonably be expected to prevent the use of the link if its contents are illegal.
The author herewith explicitly declares that no illegal content was present on the linked website at the time the link was placed. Furthermore, the author has no influence on the current and future design, contents or authorship of the linked pages. The author therefore explicitly dissociates from all contents on all linked sites that have been modified since the link was placed. This statement applies to all links placed within the author’s own internet presence and to postings to guestbooks, discussion boards and mailing lists set up by the author. The owner of the website to which the link refers is responsible for illegal, erroneous or incomplete content and, in particular, for any damage caused by the use or non-use of such information, not the person who refers to the respective publication by means of a link.
3. Copyright and trademark law
The author endeavours to respect the copyright of any graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts established by the author or to use royalty-free graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts.
Any brand names and trademarks mentioned in content that may be protected by third-party rights are fully subject to trademark law and the title of the respective registered owner. Their mention does not imply that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights.
The author retains the copyright in respect of any published content created by the author. The reproduction or use or such graphics, audio files, video sequences and texts in other electronic or print publications is not permitted without the express agreement of the author.
4. Privacy
Insofar as the internet content provides an opportunity for the entry of personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), this data is explicitly provided by the user on a voluntary basis. The utilisation and payment of the services offered is also permitted without the provision of such data or with the provision of anonymous data or a pseudonym – where technically possible and reasonable.
