Content of the online offer
The author doesn`t take over the warranty for the actuality, propriety, completeness or quality of the provided information. Liability claims against the author, which refer to material or ideally damages, caused by the use or disuse of the presented information, or by using faulty and incomplete information, are basically excluded, as long as the author doesn`t act deliberately or negligently. All offers are non-binding and noncommittal. The author is explicitly allowed to change, complete or delete parts of the pages or the whole offers, or to temporarily and permanently discontinue the release, without announcing the changement.

Reprimands and links
In the case of direct and indirect reprimands on other webpages, that are not in the area of responsibility of the author, a liability obligation would only become effective if the author knew about the content and if it would be technically possible and expected for him, to prevent the usage in the event of illegal contents. With this, the author declares explicitly that the corresponding links were free of illegal content at the time of publication. The author is not responsible for the current and coming design, contents or authorships of the linked and related webpages. Therefore, the author is dissociated from all contents of all linked and related webpages, which were changed after the links had been set. This assessment is valid for all set links and reprimands within the own Internet offer, as well as for guestbooks, discussion forums and mailing lists, which have been set up by the author. If there are any illegal, faulty or incomplete contents and especially damages, caused by using or disusing such information, only the provider of the webpage, and not the author, who refers to links, which are showing these contents, is liable for the resulting costs and damages.

Copyright and Trademark Law
The author is anxious to consider in all publications copyrights of the used graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts, to use his own graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts or to use license-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. All mentioned, and possibly protected by third parties within the Internet offer brand names and trademarks are the provisions of applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention does not draw the conclusion that third party rights do not protect trademarks. The copyright for any material created by the author remains solely by the author. Any duplication or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without an expressed permission of the author.

Data Protection
If the opportunity for the input of personal or business data (email addresses, name, addresses) is given, the input of these data takes place explicitly on a voluntary basis. The utilization and the payment of all offered services is allowed, if technically possible and appropriate, even without indicating data or by using anonymized data or pseudonyms.
