Disclaimer:

Liability for Contents

The contents of my pages have been created with great care. For the correctness, completeness and actuality of the contents I can not assume any guarantee. As a service provider, I am responsible for my own content on these pages according to the general laws, according to § 7 Abs.1 TMG.

According to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, as a service provider, I am not obligated to supervise transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances which indicate an illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information according to general laws remain unaffected. Liability in this regard, however, is only possible from the time of knowledge of a specific infringement. I will remove this content immediately if I become aware of any such violations.

Liability for Links

My offer contains links to external websites of third parties on whose content I have no influence. Therefore, I cannot assume any liability for these third-party contents. For the content of the linked pages, the respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognizable at the time of linking. However, a permanent control of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete indications of an infringement. If I become aware of any legal infringements, I will immediately remove such links.

The content and works created by the site operator on these pages are subject to German copyright law. The copying, processing, distribution and any kind of exploitation beyond the limits of copyright require the written consent of the respective author or creator.

Downloads and copies of this site are only permitted for private, non-commercial use.

Insofar as the content on this site has not been created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. In particular the content of third parties is identified as such. If you should nevertheless be aware of a copyright infringement, I ask for a corresponding note. If I become aware of any legal infringements, I will immediately remove such content.

The operator of these pages takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. I treat your personal data confidentially and according to the legal data protection regulations as well as this data protection statement.

The use of my website is normally possible without giving personal data. If personal data (eg name, address or e-mail addresses) are collected on my pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

I would point out that the data transmission on the Internet (for example, when communicating via e-mail) may have security gaps. A complete protection of the data before access by third parties is not possible.

This allows Facebook to associate the visit of my pages with your user account.
