Liability for Content

The contents of these pages were created with the utmost care. However, I cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the content. As a service provider, I am responsible for my own content in accordance with the general laws and pursuant to the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz).

However, I am not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances indicating illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected. Liability is only possible once a concrete legal infringement becomes known. Upon becoming aware of such infringements, I will remove the content immediately.

Liability for Links

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

At the time of linking, the pages were checked for possible legal violations; unlawful content was not recognizable. Permanent monitoring of the linked pages is unreasonable without specific indications of a legal violation. Upon becoming aware of such violations, I will remove the links immediately.

Copyright

I always strive to respect the copyrights of others or to use self-created or license-free works.

All content and works created by me on this website are subject to German copyright law. Third-party contributions are marked as such. Any use outside the limits of copyright law requires your written consent or that of the respective rights holder.
