Disclaimer

1. Content of the online offer
The author accepts no responsibility for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or non-material damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are excluded, unless the author can be proven to have acted with intent or gross negligence.
All offers are subject to change and non-binding. Parts of the pages or the complete publication including all offers and information might be extended, changed or partly or completely deleted by the author without separate announcement. 

2. References and links
The author is not responsible for any contents linked or referred to from his pages - unless he has full knowledge of illegal contents and would be able to prevent the visitors of his site fromviewing those pages. 
The author hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were created, no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. For this reason, he hereby expressly distances himself from all content of all linked pages that were changed after the link was created. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author's own Internet offer as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums, link directories, mailing lists and all other forms of databases set up by the author to which external write access is possible. Liability for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for damage arising from the use or non-use of such information lies solely with the provider of the site to which reference is made, and not with the party who merely refers to the publication in question via links. 

3. Copyright and trademark law
The author endeavours to observe the copyrights of the images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use images, graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts created by himself or to use licence-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. 
All brand names and trademarks mentioned on the website 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 the rights of third parties! 
The copyright for published objects created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Any duplication or use of objects such as diagrams, sounds or texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's agreement. 

4. Data protection
If the opportunity for the input of personal or business data (email addresses, name, addresses) is given, the input of these data takes place voluntarily. The use and payment of all offered services are permitted - if and so far technically possible and reasonable - without specification of any personal data or under specification of anonymised data or an alias. The use of published postal addresses, telephone or fax numbers and email addresses for marketing purposes is prohibited, offenders sending unwanted spam messages will be punished. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the senders of so-called spam mails in the event of violations of this prohibition.

5. No warning without prior contact
Should any content or the design of individual pages or parts of this online portal violate the rights of third parties or legal provisions or otherwise cause problems under competition law in any form, we request, with reference to Section 8 (4) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), that you send us an appropriate, sufficiently explanatory and prompt message without cost note. We guarantee that the rightly objected passages or parts of these web pages will be removed within a reasonable period of time or comprehensively adapted to the legal requirements without the need for you to involve a lawyer. The involvement of a lawyer to issue a warning notice at the service provider's expense does not correspond to the service provider's real or presumed intention and would thus constitute a violation of Section 13 (5) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG) due to the pursuit of extraneous objectives as the dominant motive for initiating proceedings, in particular an intention to achieve costs as the actual driving force, as well as a violation of the duty to mitigate damages. With regard to the contents in the member and partner accounts provided, we as service providers claim the liability privileges according to § 5 No. 3 TDG and § 11 TDG respectively.

6. Facebook
