Internet Conditions
The Internet operates as a decentralised association of networks that stores and transfers data temporarily. It is therefore not currently possible to guarantee the exclusion of manipulation, of unintentional falsification nor guarantee the use of only current data (e.g. old version still in cache) in the communication path between the supplier and the user. We draw your attention to this restriction of the system as follows: you are receiving this data under the conditions of the Internet. No guarantee can therefore be given for the correctness of the information given nor its agreement with the original data.

Liability for Content
The content of our pages was created with great care. However, we cannot assume any liability for the accuracy, completeness and currentness of the content. As service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with general legislation and Section 7 Paragraph 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). In accordance with Sections 8 to 10 of the TMG however, we are not obliged as a service provider to monitor transferred or saved third-party information or to search for circumstances indicating an unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information according to general legislation remain unaffected by this. Any liability in this connection is however only possible from the point of becoming aware of a specific legal violation. As soon as we become aware of corresponding legal violations, we will remove this content immediately.

Contributions from third-party providers
We have collected contributions from third parties on this website. If individual contributions violate the rights of third parties or contain illegal contents for other reasons, the author named in each case is responsible for the legal violation. We do endeavour to monitor contributions regularly but we cannot accept liability for the content in any way.

Liability of links
Our service contains links to external websites of third parties over whose content we have no influence. We therefore cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. The respective service provider or operator is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked at the time of making the link for possible legal violations. No illegal content was identifiable at the time of making the link. It is not reasonable to carry out a permanent control of the content of the linked pages without concrete indications of a legal violation.
