1. Content of the website

The Website Operator provides no guarantee as to the up-to-dateness, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. Any liability on the part of the Website Operator related to loss or damage of a material or non-economic nature that has been caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or through the use of inaccurate or incomplete information are excluded in principle, provided there is no evidence of fault on the part of the Website Operator due to wilful action or gross negligence. All offerings are non-binding and without obligation. The Website Operator expressly reserves the right to alter, add to or delete parts of the pages, individual offerings or the entire offering without specific notice or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.

 

2. References and links

In relation to direct or indirect references to other websites ("links") that lie outside the area of responsibility of the Website Operator, liability would arise solely in cases where the Website Operator had knowledge of the content of such sites and it would be technically feasible and reasonable for the Website Operator to prevent the use of the site if its content were unlawful. The Website Operator hereby expressly declares that at the time of inserting the links it was not aware of any unlawful content on linked sites. The Website Operator has no influence whatsoever over the current or future design, content or the authorship of the linked websites. It therefore distances itself expressly from any content of any linked websites that has been altered after the links were inserted. The foregoing applies to all links and references to be found on its own website as well as to contributions made by third parties in lists of businesses, visitors’ books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the Website Operator. The opinions expressed on linked websites may but need not reflect our own opinions, even if such opinions satisfy all laws and regulations and give no grounds for complaint. In respect of unlawful, inaccurate or incomplete content and in particular loss or damage that arises due to the use or non-use of such information, only the providers of the website to which the link relates may be held liable and not those who refer to the website in question by means of links.

 

3. Copyright and trademarks

The Website Operator makes every effort in all its publications to comply with the copyrights relating to the graphics, the graphics, sound recordings, video sequences and texts used, to use graphics, sound recordings, video sequences and texts that it has created itself, or to use graphics, sound recordings, video sequences and texts that do not require a licence. All trademarks and brand names indicated on the website and, where applicable, trademarks and brand names protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the currently valid provisions of trademark law and the ownership rights of their respective registered proprietors. The simple mention of such trademarks does not permit the conclusion to be drawn that they are not protected by the rights of third parties. The copyright relating to items published and created by the Website Operator itself remains the sole property of the Website Operator. Any reproduction or use of such graphics, sound recordings, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the Website Operator.

In the event that the website provides the facility to enter personal or business-related data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), the disclosure of such data by the user is made expressly on a voluntary basis. The use of and payment for any of the services offered is permitted without the requirement to provide such data or by providing anonymised data or by using a pseudonym, provided this is technically possible, permitted by the law and reasonable.
