Liability for Content

As a service provider, I am responsible for my own content on these pages according to § 7 Abs.1 TMG. However, according to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, I am not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the moment of knowledge of a specific infringement. Upon becoming aware of such violations, I will remove this content immediately.

Liability for Links

This website contains links to external third-party websites, over whose content I have no influence. Therefore, I cannot assume any liability for these external contents. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content.

The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of law. Upon becoming aware of any legal infringements, I will remove such links immediately.

Copyright

The content and works on these pages created by the site operator are subject to German copyright law. Duplication, processing, distribution, or any form of commercialization of such material beyond the scope of the copyright law shall require the prior written consent of its respective author or creator.

Downloads and copies of this site are only permitted for private, non-commercial use.

Insofar as the content on this site was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. In particular, third-party content is marked as such. Should you become aware of any copyright infringement, please inform me accordingly. Upon becoming aware of any legal infringements, I will remove such content immediately.
