Legal Disclaimer

1. Content of the Site

The authors do not accept any liability or give any guarantee for the validity, accuracy and completeness of the information provided. The authors assume no legal liabilities for damages, material or immaterial in kind, caused by the use or non-use of provided information or the use of erroneous or incomplete information, with the exception of proven intentional or grossly negligent conduct on the side of the authors. All information is subject to change and nonbinding. The authors reserve the right to modify, append, delete parts or the complete online content without prior notice, or to cancel the publication temporarily or permanently.

2. References and Links

In the case of direct and indirect links to third-party websites “Hyperlinks”) that lie outside the responsibility of the authors, any legal liability would only come into force in cases in which the authors have knowledge of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for them to prevent their use in the case of illegal contents. The authors herewith declare expressly that there were no illegal contents recognizable on the sites which were to link at the moment of setting links. The authors have no influence at all on current and future configurations on contents or on the authorship of linked sites. Therefore they explicitly dissociate themselves from all contents of all linked sites that were changed after the setting of links. This realization is valid for all set links and references within the own internet offer as well as for entries of third parties in one of the guest books, panels and mailing lists and all other forms of databases, whose contents are accessible by third parties that are instituted by the authors. The authors of the site are liable themselves for illegal, defective or incomplete contents and in particular for damages that are caused by the use or non-use of such presented information on which were referred, and not the one who merely refers to the particular publication by links.

3. Copyright and Regulation of Trademarks

The authors strive to mind the copyright in all publications of applied graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts, to use graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts created by themselves or to go back to royalty-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. All named and – if necessary – saved brands and trademarks by third parties within the internet offer underlie the determinations of the respected valid rights of trademarks and titles of the particular registered owner. Only on the basis of the mere naming one cannot conclude that brands are not trademarked by the rights of third parties! The copyright for published and created objects by the authors themselves adhere to the authors of the sites. The duplication or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not allowed without explicit consent of the authors.

4. Data Protection

As long as there is any possibility to enter personal or data relating to business within the internet offer (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), the exposure of those data happens by the user on an explicit voluntary basis. The use and payment of all offered services is – as far as technically possible and reasonable – also allowed without specification of such data respectively with specification of anonymized data or with a pseudonym. The use of published contact data by third parties within the scope of the legal notice or comparable data like postal addresses, telephone or fax numbers as well as e-mail addresses for sending of not explicitly requested information is not allowed. Legal measures against senders of so-called spam mails are explicitly reserved if there are infringements of this interdiction.
