The author assumes no liability for content being complete, accurate or up to date, nor for the quality of the information provided. The author shall not be held liable for any claims related to damages of a material or non-material nature resulting from the use or non-use of the information provided and/or from the use of incorrect or incomplete information, unless it can be proven that the author acted deliberately or with gross negligence. All website content is non-binding and subject to change. The author reserves the express right to modify, supplement or delete all of or parts of the website or to discontinue the entire publication temporarily or definitively without giving special notice.

References and links

The author is only liable for any unlawful content on external websites that have been directly or indirectly referenced (“hyperlinks”) and are outside the author’s scope of responsibility if the author was aware of the content and it was technically possible and within reason for the author to prevent the use of this content. The author hereby expressly declares that no illegal content could be found on the linked websites when the links were published. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current or future design, content or authorship of the linked websites. For this reason, the author hereby expressly distances himself/herself from any content on any linked websites that was modified after the links were published. This statement applies to all of the links and references on the author’s website as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists set up by the author and any other database types with content to which external parties have writing access. The provider of the linked website is the only party liable for illegal, inaccurate or incomplete content and, in particular, for damages that result from the use or non-use of the information provided in this way, not the party who merely references the publication in question via links.
