1. Limitation of liability

The content of these pages has been created with the greatest possible care and attention. Nonetheless, the provider accepts no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or up-to-dateness of the content provided. Use of the content in these pages is at the user's own risk.

Contributions stating the name of the author reflect the view of the author in question and not always the opinion of the provider. Merely using the provider's pages does not give rise to any form of contractual relationship between the user and the provider.

2. External links

These pages contain links to third-party websites (external links). Such websites are the responsibility of the respective operator. The external content was checked by the provider for any infringements of law at the time the external links were initially created, whereby no infringements of law were apparent at that time.

The provider has no influence over the current or future structure or the content of linked pages. The inclusion of external links does not infer that the provider has adopted the content behind the reference or link as its own. In the absence of specific reference to infringements of the law, permanent control of the external links on the part of the provider cannot reasonably be expected; however, upon gaining knowledge of any legal infringements, the external links in question will be removed immediately.

3. Copyrights and ancillary copyrights

The content published on this website is subject to German copyright and ancillary copyright law. Any utilisation not authorised under German copyright and ancillary copyright law is subject to the prior written approval of the provider or the respective right holder.

This applies particularly in relation to any duplication, editing, translation, storage, processing or rendition of content within databases or other electronic media and systems. In this respect, third-party content and rights are designated as such.

Unauthorised duplication or forwarding of individual content or entire pages is not permitted and is a punishable offence. The creation of copies and downloads is solely permitted for personal, private and non-commercial use.

The presentation of this website in external frames is only permitted with written authorisation.

4. Data protection

Access information (date, time, pages viewed) may be stored as a result of visiting these web pages. This data does not concern personal data, but rather is anonymous and is solely evaluated for statistical purposes. Data is not passed on to third parties, for either commercial or non-commercial purposes.

The provider expressly draws attention to the fact that data transfer via the Internet (e.g. email communication) is open to security gaps and cannot be completely protected against third-party access.

The use of imprint contact data for commercial advertising is expressly rejected, save for where the provider has extended its prior written approval or where a business relationship already exists. The provider and all persons named on this website hereby expressly oppose any commercial use or transmission of their data.

5. Special conditions of use

Insofar as special conditions for individual use of this website derogate from the aforestated paragraphs 1 to 4 above, commensurate reference will be expressly included at the relevant point. In this case, the pertinent conditions of use apply in the respective individual instance.
