I. Online contents

The author does not warrant that the information provided is current, accurate and complete, and makes no representation regarding its quality. Save for deliberate misconduct or gross negligence on the author's part, liability claims against the author that are based on material or immaterial damages caused by the use or failure to use the information provided, or by the use of inaccurate or incomplete information, are excluded. All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, amend or delete any part of the pages or the entire offer without special notice, as well as to suspend publication for any length of time.

II. References and links

With respect to direct or indirect references to third-party Internet pages ("links") beyond the author's sphere of responsibility, any liability on the author's part requires that the author both knew of the contents and disposed of the technical means to prevent the use of illegal contents at a reasonable expense. For this purpose, the author hereby declares that linked pages were free of illegal contents when a link was added. The current and future design and contents of linked or referenced pages are beyond the author's influence, which is why the content of any referenced page that was changed after the link was added does not reflect the author's views. This statement specifically applies to all links and references placed within the author's Internet offering as well as to third-party entries found in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. The liability for illegal, inaccurate or incomplete content and, specifically, for damages caused by the use or failure to use any information so provided lies exclusively with the page's author - not with the party merely referencing such contents by way of links.

III. Copyright and trademark law

The author strives to observe the copyrights of any illustration, audio or video file and text used in publications, to use its own illustrations, audio or video files and texts whenever possible and to make use of illustrations, audio or video files and texts found in the public domain. All copyrights and trademarks mentioned as part of the Internet offering, which may be protected by third parties, are subject without limitation to the terms of the applicable trademark code as well as the proprietary rights of their registered holders. It is not to be concluded solely on the basis of a mere mention that trademarks are not protected by means of third-party rights. The copyright for published objects created by the author remains with the author alone, and such illustrations, audio or visual files or texts may not be duplicated or used in other electronic or print publications without the author's express consent.

IV. Privacy

Insofar as the Internet offering provides the opportunity to input personal or business information (email addresses, names and mailing addresses), such user data is strictly provided on a voluntary basis. To the extent technically feasible and reasonable, all services offered may be used and paid for even if (i) no such data is provided, (ii) such data is provided anonymously or (iii) a pseudonym is used.

V. Disclaimer's effectiveness

In the event that any part or phrase of this text does not, does no longer or does not entirely correspond with applicable law, the remaining parts and phrases hereof continue in full force and effect.
