Privacy and data protection notice

1. Contents of online offering
The author shall not be held liable for the information provided being up-to-date, correct or complete nor for the quality of said provided information. Any and all liability claims against the author shall be excluded if they refer to material or non-material damages, the utilisation or non-utilisation of the information offered or to the utilisation of erroneous or incomplete information, unless intentional negligence or gross negligence can be shown for the author's actions.
All offers are subject to change and not binding. The author expressly reserves the right to modify, supplement or delete parts or all of the offer published on his Internet pages or to temporarily or ultimately terminate its publication.

2. References and links
The author shall be liable for direct or indirect references to other web sites ("hyperlinks") beyond his area of responsibility only if the author knew about the contents of said other web sites and if it would have been technically possible, at reasonable efforts, to prevent the utilisation of illegal contents.
The author hereby expressly declares that, at the time the link or links were established, illegal contents were not conceivable on the linked sites. The author has no influence on the current or future design, contents or authorship of linked or referenced sites. He therefore expressly dissociates himself from all contents of linked/referenced sites modified after the link has been established. This declaration applies to all links and references established on the author's own Internet site as well as to entries made by third parties on visitors' books, discussion forums, link lists or mailing lists set up by the author, and any and all other types of databases allowing external write access to the information contained therein. Illegal, erroneous or incomplete contents and, specifically, damages caused by the utilisation or non-utilisation of information thus offered shall be solely subject to the liability of the person, entity or oganisation offering the linked-in or referenced site but not to the liability of the person, entity or organisation merely referencing the publication concerned.

3. Copyright and trademark law
The author strives to observe the copyright of all images, graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts contained in his publications, to make use of images, graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts of his own authorship, or to make use of public domain graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts.
All brands and trademarks mentioned anywhere on the Internet site and/or being the protected property of third parties are under the unrestricted provisions of the applicable trademark law and the right of ownership of their registered proprietors. Only making reference to a title shall not justify the conclusion that a trademark is not the protected property of a third party!
The author of the site shall retain the sole copyright of objects created and published by the author. Reproduction or utilisation of such graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts by or in other electronic or printed publications shall be prohibited except with the author's express consent.

4. Privacy

Wherever the Internet site provides a possibility of entering personal or business data (email accounts, names, addresses), the user shall expressly disclose such details upon his own accord. Inasmuch as technically possible and reasonable, utilising and paying for any of the services offered shall be permitted without previous disclosure of such data or by entering anonymous data or an alias name. Contact details such as postal addresses, telephone or fax numbers or email accounts published on an imprint page or in the context of similar details must not be made use of by third parties to submit unsolicited information. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action against persons, entities or organisations sending out so-called spam mailings violating this prohibitory provision.

5. Effectiveness of this disclaimer of liability
This disclaimer of liability shall be considered part of the Internet site referencing this present site. If any or all of the wording of the text hereof does not, no longer or not fully comply with the legal situation, this shall not affect the contents and validity of the other parts of this document.
