The cookies transmit information about your use, including your IP address, to a Google server in the USA, where that information is stored. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of this website, to compile reports about website activity for the operator of the website, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or insofar as third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will Google associate your IP address with other data that is being stored by Google. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; please be aware, however, that you may not be able to make full use of all of the functions on this website.

Liability for content

The author is in no way liable for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. As a rule, liability claims against the author with reference to damages of a material or immaterial nature, which are caused by the use or non-use of the information provided, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are excluded insofar as there is no demonstrable fault of an intentional or grossly negligent nature on the part of the author. All offers are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of these pages or the entire offer without prior notice, or to cease publication either temporarily or permanently.

Liability for links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (hyperlinks) outside the author's area of responsibility, the author shall only be liable if the author is aware of the content, and it is technically possible or reasonable for the author to prevent the use of said content in the case of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time of linking, no illegal content could be identified on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the pages that are linked. The author therefore expressly distances himself from all content on linked pages that changes once the link has been made. This statement applies to all links and references within the author’s own Internet offer, as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists and in all other forms of databases, for which external write access is possible. The provider of the page, to which reference was made, and not the provider who merely provides links to the publication in question, shall be fully liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content, and in particular for damages that result from the use or non-use of such information.

Copyright

In all publications, the author strives to observe the copyrights for the graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts used, and to use graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts to which it holds the rights, or to use license-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. All brand names and trademarks mentioned within the Internet offer and any brand names and trademarks belonging to third parties are subject to the provisions of the respectively valid trademark law and the rights of possession of the registered owner, without restriction. The mere mention of a brand name or trademark should not lead to the conclusion that these are not protected by the rights of third parties. The author of these pages retains sole copyright for published objects created by the author. The reproduction or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is prohibited without the express consent of the author.

Data protection

Insofar as it is possible to enter personal or business information (email addresses, names, postal addresses) within the Internet offer, the disclosure of this data by the user is expressly voluntary. The use and payment of all offered services is also permitted without specifying such data, or specifying anonymised data or a pseudonym – insofar as this is technically possible and reasonable. The use of contact details such as postal address, phone and fax numbers, as well as email addresses, that are published within the context of the legal notice or comparable information by third parties for the purpose of sending information not expressly requested is prohibited. We reserve the right to take legal action against the senders of so-called spam email for violations of this prohibition.
