1. Website content

The author does not assume any liability whatsoever for the current accuracy, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author based on damage of a material or non-material nature resulting from the use of or failure to use the presented information and / or the use of incorrect and incomplete information are categorically excluded, provided that the author is not guilty of demonstrably willful or gross negligence. All offers are subject to change without notice and are nonbinding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, or delete parts of the pages or the entire content without separate notice and to discontinue publication thereof either temporarily or permanently.

2. References and links

As regards direct or indirect references to external websites ("Links"), which are outside the area of responsibility of the author, liability would only be assumed if the author had knowledge of the contents and if it was technically possible and feasible to prevent their use in case of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that no illegal content was found on the linked pages at the time the links were made. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, contents and authorship of the linked/referenced pages. For this reason, the author expressly dissociates himself from the contents of all linked / referenced pages which were changed after the links were first established. This statement applies to all links and references set up within the author’s own internet presence as well as to external entries in discussion forums and mailing lists created by the author. Only the provider of the page to which reference was made shall be liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and notably for damage resulting from the use of or failure to use such information provided, and not the person who merely refers to the publication in question via links.
