Site notice

Links and hyperlinks

No liability is assumed with respect to direct or indirect references to third party websites (links) for which the author is not responsible, except in cases where the author has been aware of the contents and where it could have been reasonably expected from him and technically feasible to prevent their publication, should their contents be illegal. The author hereby expressly declares that the linked pages were checked for possible legal infringements at the time the link was established, and no unlawful content was ascertained at the time. The author has no influence on the current or future design, the content presented or the authorship of the linked websites. For this reason, the author dissociates himself from all contents of any linked sites that have been altered after the link was created. This statement retains its validity for all links and references established within the proprietary internet offering as well as for external entries in guest books or mailing lists furnished by the author. The liability for all illegal, false or incomplete content and in particular for possible damages that may arise from the use or non-use of such presented information shall fall upon the provider of the site to which the reference was made.

Copyright and trademark law

The author shall ensure that the copyrights to the pictures, sounds, video clips and texts are observed in all publications, that pictures, sounds, video clips and texts produced by himself are used or that unlicensed pictures, sounds, video clips and texts are used. If protected trade names or trademarks are used within the Internet offer or, possibly, named by third parties, these are without exception subject to the conditions of the respective valid trademark rights and the ownership rights of the respective registered owner. Solely mentioning their names does not mean that these trademarks are not protected by the rights of third parties! The copyright for elements published and created by the author shall remain with the author of the site. The duplication and use of these pictures, sounds, video scenes and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express written permission of the author.
