Privacy Policy

1. Online Content
The author accepts no responsibility for the currentness, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information supplied. Liability claims against the author based on damages of material or emotional nature, caused by the use or non-use of information presented, or through the use of erroneous or incomplete information, are fundamentally excluded, in so far as the author is not guilty of any demonstrably willful or gross negligence.
All information presented is subject to change and is non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete, or shut down portions of the site without notice, or to close down this publication in its entirety either temporarily or permanently.

2. References and Links
With regards to direct or indirect references to external Internet sites (“links”) which are themselves outside the field of responsibility of the author, liability for illegal content will only then be assumed if the author has knowledge of the content of those sites and it is technically feasible and reasonable for the author to prevent usage of said sites. The author hereby expressly declares that, at the time links were installed on this site, no illegal content was apparent on the targeted sites. The author has absolutely no influence on the current or future design, content or copyright of the linked pages. Consequently, the author expressly distances himself from all content on said linked pages which have been altered since installation of the original link. This declaration applies to all references and links within the author’s own Internet site, as well as entries made by other parties in guestbooks, discussion forums and mailing lists which were created by the author. Sole liability for illegal, erroneous or incomplete content, and particularly for damages which might by caused by use or non-use of any such information supplied, is born by the provider of the target site, and not by the provider who included a link to that particular site.

3. Copyright and Trademarking
The author makes every effort in all publications to respect copyright on all graphics, audio files, video clips and texts, and to make use of self-created graphics, audio files, video clips and texts, or to avail himself of non-licensed graphics, audio files, video clips and texts. All those brand names and trademarks cited in the author’s Internet platform, some of which are, on occasion, protected by third parties, are subject without restriction to applicable copyright laws and the proprietary rights of the registered owners. The conclusion should not be drawn from their mere naming, that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights! Copyrights for those objects published and created by the author himself, remain solely with the author. Duplication or use of such graphics, audio documents, video clips and texts in other electronic or print publications, is not permitted, except with the expressed permission of the author.

4. Legal Force of the Liability Disclaimer
This liability disclaimer is to be regarded as part of those Internet pages from which it was referenced. In so far as portions or isolated formulations of the text do not, no longer or incompletely reflect applicable law, the content and validity of the remaining portions of the document remain unaffected.
