Disclaimer

1. Online content

The author makes no warranty of any kind that the information provided is up to date, correct, complete or of good quality. The author assumes no liability in respect of tangible or intangible losses arising from the use or failure to use the information provided and/or from the use of incorrect and incomplete information, unless the author can be proven to have acted with wilful intent or gross negligence. All offers are subject to change and are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to amend, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire content without special notice or cease publication temporarily or permanently.

2. References and links

Where direct or indirect references (“links”) are made to other websites which are outside the author’s area of responsibility, the author would only be liable if he were aware of the content of such websites and had the technical means and could be reasonably expected to prevent their use if they include illegal content. The author therefore expressly declares that the linked pages were free of illegal content at the time the links were created. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current or future layout or content of websites to which a link or reference is made. The author therefore expressly distances himself from all content of all linked or referenced pages which have been altered after the links were made. This statement applies to all links and references made within the author’s own website. Liability for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content, and in particular for losses arising out of the use or failure to use the information provided in such a way, lies solely with the provider of the linked or referenced site and not with the party who merely refers to the relevant publication by way of a link.

3. Copyright and trademark law

The author makes every effort in all publications to observe the copyright covering the graphics and texts used, to use graphics and texts he himself has created, or to use public-domain graphics and texts. All trademarks and brand names that are mentioned on the website and may be protected by third party rights are subject without restriction to the terms of the relevant trademark law and the property rights of the registered owner. The mere mention of trade names cannot be construed to mean that they are not protected by any third-party rights. The copyright covering published content created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the site. Duplication or use of any such graphics and texts in any other electronic or printed media is prohibited without the express permission of the author.

4. Data protection

If it is possible on the website to enter personal or business data (email addresses, names, postal addresses), the user provides this information on an expressly voluntary basis. As far as technically feasible and reasonable, all services offered may be used and paid for without disclosure of this information or by using anonymous data or a pseudonym.

5. Facebook-Plugins

Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) provided by the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are identifiable by a Facebook logo (white letter f on blue background or a thumb up icon) or the notice “Facebook Social Plugin”. For a full list of all social Plugins please seehttp://developers.facebook.com/plugins.
When you visit a page of our website that contains a social plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook servers. Facebook directly transfers the plugin content to your browser which embeds the latter into the website, enabling Facebook to receive information about your having accessed the respective page of our website. Thus we have no influence on the data gathered by the plugin and inform you according to our state of knowledge:
The embedded plugins provide Facebook with the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged into Facebook, your visit can be assigned to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking “Like”, or entering a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored by it. Even if you are not logged into Facebook, there is possibility that the plugins transmits your IP-address to Facebook.
For the information on the purpose and scope of data collection and procession by Facebook, as well as your rights in this respect and settings options for protecting your privacy please visit Facebook’s privacy policy:http://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to connect the data concerning your visit to our website with your member data already stored by Facebook, please log off Facebook before entering our website. Further you can block Facebook social Plugins by using add-ons for your browser, like the “Facebook Blocker“.
