Disclaimer – (1) Limitation of liability
Contents of this website: The utmost care has been taken in the production of content for this website. However, the provider accepts no liability for the accuracy, completeness or topicality of the content presented herein. Visitors use the downloadable content at their own discretion and risk. Contributions reflect the opinion of the author where named and not necessarily the views of the website provider. Availability of the website: The provider will take all due care to offer the service on an uninterrupted basis. Nonetheless, the possibility cannot be excluded that the site may from time to time be unavailable. The provider reserves the right to amend or terminate the service at any time. Advertisements: Liability for the content of any advertisements is borne by the relevant author. The same applies to the content of any website advertised here. The inclusion of an advert does not in any way imply acceptance by the provider.

External links
This website contains external links to sites operated by third parties. Liability for these websites lies with the relevant operator. The provider of this website examined the content of these external links when they were first established to ascertain whether they contained any illegal content. At that time, no breaches of the law could be ascertained. The provider has no influence whatsoever over the current and future structure or content of linked websites. The inclusion of links should not be taken to imply that the provider regards the content accessed via that link as his own. The provider cannot reasonably be expected to exercise ongoing scrutiny over external links unless specific indications of breaches of the law are brought to his attention. Upon being alerted to such breaches, however, the provider will immediately take steps to delete the offending external link.

No contractual obligations
Use of this website in no way initiates any sort of contractual relationship between the user and the provider. To this extent, the user has no contractual or quasi-contractual claim upon the provider. Should use of this website nonetheless lead to a contractual relationship, the following limitation of liability shall apply as a purely precautionary measure: The provider is liable for damage caused deliberately or through gross negligence as well as for any substantial breach of cardinal obligation. The provider is liable for damage that arises from ordinary negligence leading to a breach of cardinal obligation by him, his legal representative or his vicarious agent, with the proviso that this liability shall be limited to compensation for damage that could typically have been foreseen when the contract was entered into. The provider is not liable for any breach of non-cardinal obligation caused by ordinary negligence. Liability for damage that falls within the area covered by a guarantee or assurance given by the provider as well as liability for claims based on product warranty legislation and for damage that arises from injury to life or limb is not affected by the above.

Disclaimer - (3) Data protection
When users visit this website, information is collected by our server, i.e. date, time, page views. Such data does not constitute personal data, as it is presented in anonymous form.

A visit to this site may lead to the storage of data on the hard drive of the user. Such data is known as ‘cookies’. These are designed to simplify the browsing process for the user.

The provider expressly draws the attention of the user to the fact that data transfer via the internet (e.g. in the form of an e-mail) is subject to security lapses and that no warranty can be provided against unauthorised access by third parties. The provider expressly requests that the contact details given as part of the provider’s legal notice – in particular the phone/fax numbers and e-mail address – are not used for the sending of unsolicited advertising material, unless the provider has given prior permission in writing or there is already an existing business contact. The provider and all other persons named on this website herewith forbid any commercial use or distribution of their details.
