Liability for contents

The contents of our web pages have been prepared with utmost care. However, we cannot assume any liability for the correctness, completeness and actuality of the contents. As the service provider, we are responsible according to §7 Para 1 TMG (German Teleservices Act) for our own contents on these pages according to the general laws. However, according to §§ 8 to 10 TMG we are not liable as service provider to monitor the conveyed or stored external information or to investigate the circumstances that indicate an illegal activity. Commitment for removing or blocking the use of information according to the general laws remains unaffected by this. However, a liability to this effect is possibly only from the time an actual legal violation becomes known. We will remove these contents promptly as soon as the corresponding legal violations become known.

Liability for links
Our offer contains links to external, third-party websites and we have no influence over their content. For this reason, we cannot take up any responsibility for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the pages is responsible for the content of the linked pages. At the time of linking, the linked pages were checked for any possible legal violation. There were no illegal contents detected at the time of linking. A permanent content-related check of the linked pages is, however, not feasible without any concrete indication of a legal violation. We will remove such links promptly as soon as the legal violations become known.

Copyright law

The content and information created on these pages by the page operator is subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, processing, distribution and any kind of utilisation outside of the scope of the copyright law needs the written consent of the respective author. As far the contents on these pages are not prepared by the operator, the third-party copyrights are followed. The third-party contents have been especially marked as such. We request you to inform us, if you still come across a copyright violation. We will remove such contents promptly as soon as the legal violations become known.

Data privacy

It is possible to use our website without entering any personal data. An entry of personal data (for instance, name, address or e-mail addresses) is done on our pages, as far as possible, always on a voluntary basis. The data is not passed on to third-parties without your explicit consent. We would like to point out that the data transfer in the Internet (e.g. while communicating through e-mail) can show security gaps. A perfect protection of data against a third-party access is not possible.

We explicitly object to the use of the contact data published in the imprint for sending unsolicited advertising material and information. The operators of the pages reserve the explicit right to initiate legal steps against the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as through spam mails.
