1. Content published online
The author accepts no liability for the currency, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author which are based on damages of a material or non-material nature that are caused by the use or non-use of the offered information or through the use of incorrect or incomplete information are excluded provided the author is not demonstrably at fault for damages caused deliberately or through gross negligence.
All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, add to or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without separate announcement or to temporarily or permanently cease the publishing thereof.
2. References and links
With regard to direct or indirect references to external websites (”Hyperlinks”) that are out of the author’s scope of responsibility, an obligation of liability shall only come into effect in the event that the author has knowledge of the content and that it would be technically possible and reasonable for the author to prevent use in the case of illegal content.
The author hereby expressly states that at the time of creating the links, no illegal content on the linked pages was identifiable. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. The author therefore distances himself expressly from all contents of all linked pages that have been changed after the link was created. This statement applies for all links and references placed within the author’s own Internet site as well as for third-party entries made in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for damages that arise from the use or non-use of such types of provided information, only the provider of the page to which reference has been made shall be liable and not the person who merely makes references to the respective published content via links.
