1. Disclaimer
Contents of this website
The content of this website has been compiled with the utmost care. However, the provider accepts no liability for the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the content provided. Users access the content at their own risk. Any contributions by third parties that are identified by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the provider.
Website availability
The provider will endeavour to make the service available with as little disruption as possible. However, despite taking every care, downtime cannot be ruled out. The provider reserves the right to amend or discontinue its service at any time.
External links
This website contains links to third-party websites (‘external links’). These websites are the responsibility of their respective operators. When the external links were first established, the provider checked the third-party content for any legal infringements. At that time, no legal infringements were apparent. The provider has no influence whatsoever on the current or future design or content of the linked pages. The inclusion of external links does not imply that the provider endorses the content behind the reference or link. It is not reasonable to expect the provider to monitor these external links on an ongoing basis without specific evidence of legal infringements. However, should any legal infringements come to light, such external links will be removed immediately.
Advertisements
The respective author is responsible for the content of the advertisements, as well as for the content of the website being advertised. The display of the advertisement does not constitute endorsement by the provider.
No contractual relationship
The use of the Provider’s website does not give rise to any contractual relationship between the user and the Provider. Consequently, no contractual or quasi-contractual claims may be made against the Provider. In the event that the use of the website should nevertheless lead to a contractual relationship, the following limitation of liability shall apply purely as a precautionary measure: The provider shall be liable for wilful misconduct and gross negligence, as well as for a breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation). The provider’s liability is limited to compensation for damage typical of the contract and foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded, in respect of damage resulting from a breach of cardinal obligations due to slight negligence on the part of the provider, its legal representatives or its vicarious agents. The Provider shall not be liable for a breach committed with slight negligence of ancillary obligations which are not cardinal obligations. This shall not affect liability for damage falling within the scope of any guarantee or warranty given by the Provider, nor liability for claims under the Product Liability Act, nor liability for damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health.
2. Copyright
The content and works published on this website are protected by copyright. Any use not permitted under German copyright law requires the prior written consent of the respective author or copyright holder. This applies in particular to the reproduction, adaptation, translation, storage, processing or reproduction of content in databases or other electronic media and systems. Content and contributions from third parties are identified as such. The unauthorised reproduction or distribution of individual items of content or entire pages is not permitted and is a criminal offence. Only the making of copies and downloads for personal, private and non-commercial use is permitted. Links to the provider’s website are welcome at any time and do not require the provider’s consent. The display of this website within external frames is only permitted with the provider’s consent.
3. Data protection
The provider expressly points out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) is susceptible to security breaches and cannot be fully protected against access by third parties. The use of the contact details provided in the provider’s legal notice – in particular the telephone and fax numbers and email address – for commercial advertising purposes is expressly not permitted, unless the provider has given its prior written consent or a business relationship already exists. The provider and all persons named on this website hereby object to any commercial use or disclosure of their data.
4. Applicable law
The applicable law shall be exclusively that of the Federal Republic of Germany.
5. Special Terms of Use
Where specific terms and conditions for particular uses of this website differ from the points (1) to (4) set out above, this will be expressly stated in the relevant section. In such cases, the specific terms and conditions of use shall apply on a case-by-case basis.
