Liability Committee
1. Content of the online offer The author assumes no liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are fundamentally excluded, unless the author can be proven to have acted intentionally or with gross negligence. All offers are non-binding and subject to change. The author expressly reserves the right to change, add to or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without prior notice, or to temporarily or permanently stop publication. 2. References and links As content providers, we are responsible under general law for our “own content” that we make available for use, in accordance with Section 5, Paragraph 1 of the State Treaty on Media Services. Cross-references (“links”) to content provided by other providers must be distinguished from this own content. Through the cross-reference we make "external content" available for use, which is marked in this way: Link. We are only responsible for this external content if we have positive knowledge of it (i.e. also of illegal or criminal content) and it is technically possible and reasonable for us to prevent its use (Section 5, Paragraph 2 of the State Treaty on Media Services). However, "links" are always "live" (dynamic) references. When we first linked to the external content, we checked whether it could give rise to civil or criminal liability. However, we are not obliged to constantly check the content to which we refer in our offer for changes that could give rise to new liability. Only if we determine or are informed by others that a specific offer to which we have provided a link gives rise to civil or criminal liability will the reference to this offer be removed, insofar as this is technically possible and reasonable for us. The technical possibility and reasonableness is not influenced by the fact that even after access from our homepage has been blocked, the illegal or criminal offer can still be accessed from other servers. We use this disclaimer here with the kind permission of the Berlin Data Protection Commissioner, from whose website we have derived it for our purposes and who also makes it available to anyone who would like to use it. 3. Copyright and trademark law The author endeavors to observe the copyrights of the graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, video sequences and texts created by himself or to use license-free graphics, video sequences and texts. All brand names and trademarks mentioned within the Internet offer and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by third-party rights! The copyright for published objects created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Any reproduction or use of such graphics, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author. 4. Legal validity of this disclaimer This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet offer from which this page was referred. If parts or individual formulations of this text do not, no longer or not completely correspond to the applicable legal situation, the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected in their content and validity.
