Legal information

Disclaimer:

Responsibility for contents

As a service provider we are, under Section 7(1) of the German Teleservices Act (TMG), responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with general legislation. However, under Sections 8-10 of the TMG, as the service provider we are not obliged to supervise third party information which has been transferred or stored or to look into circumstances pointing to unlawful activity. This is without prejudice to the obligations under general legislation to remove or block the use of information. Liability in this respect is, however, only possible from the point we become awareness of a specific legal infringement. Upon becoming aware of such legal infringements we shall immediately remove such content.

Responsibility for links

Our site contains links to external, third-party websites. We have no influence over the content of such websites so are therefore unable to accept any liability for the content of these third-party websites. The person responsible for the content of the linked pages is always the provider or operator of those pages. The linked pages are checked for potential legal infringements at the time they are linked. At the time the link was set up, the pages had no apparent illegal content. However, it is not reasonable for the content of the linked pages to be permanently monitored unless there are specific indications of a legal infringement. Upon becoming aware of legal infringements we shall immediately remove such links.

Copyright

The content and works created by the web page operator on these pages are subject to German copyright law. The reproduction, processing, distribution and any form of application outside the restrictions of copyright law shall require the written consent of the relevant author or creator. Downloads and copies of this website are only permitted for personal, non-commercial use. Where the contents of this site have not been put together by the operator, the copyright of third parties shall be respected. In particular, third-party content shall be marked as such. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement we ask that you notify us to that effect. Upon becoming aware of legal infringements we shall immediately remove such content.
