Liability for content

As a service provider, we are responsible in accordance with § 7, Para.1 DDG for our own content on this site according to general legal provisions. According to Articles 8 to 10 of the DDG, as a service provider, we are not however obliged to monitor or, under certain circumstances, to investigate externally transmitted or stored information or to look for indications of illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general laws remain unaffected. Any liability in this respect, however, is only possible from such time as we receive knowledge of the specific breach of law. Should any legal violation come to our attention, we will remove such content immediately.

Liability for links

Our website includes links to third-party external websites, over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot accept any responsibility for their content. Individual providers or operators of the linked pages are always responsible for their content. The linked sites were checked for any legal violations at the time they were linked. Illegal content was not apparent at the time the links were created.

Continuous monitoring of the content of linked pages is not, however, reasonable without specific indications of legal violations. Should any legal violation come to our attention, we will remove such links immediately.

Copyright

The contents and work on this website created by the website operator are subject to German copyright law. Copying, editing, distribution and any use of the contents outside the limits of the copyright laws require the written consent of the author or creator. Downloading and copying these pages are only permitted for private, non-commercial use.

Third party copyrights must be taken into account insofar as the content of this page was not created by the operator. In particular, third-party content will be identified as such. Nonetheless, if you become aware of any copyright infringement, we request that you provide us with the corresponding information. Should any legal violation come to our attention, we will remove the offending content immediately.
