Liability for Contents

Although the contents of our web pages were prepared with the greatest care, we cannot guarantee the correctness, completeness and topicality of these contents. As a service provider we are responsible, under Sec. 7.1 TMG (German Telemedia Act) for own contents provided on these pages according to the general laws. Under Sec. 8 to 10 TMG, however, we are not obliged to control third-party information transmitted or stored or to search after circumstances indicating an unlawful activity. Any existing obligation to remove or block the use of information as required by the general laws remains unaffected. Any liability in this respect, however, shall not exist until the time when we obtain knowledge of a specific infringement. If we obtain knowledge of infringements we will promptly remove the relevant contents.

Liability for Links

We also provide links to external websites, the contents of which we cannot control. Therefore we also cannot assume any warranty for these third-party contents. The contents of the linked websites are always subject to the responsibility of the relevant provider or operator of the websites. When setting up the links we verified the relevant websites for any infringement. Unlawful contents could not be identified at the time of linking. A permanent control of the contents of the linked websites, however, is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. If we obtain knowledge of infringements we will promptly remove such links.

Any reproduction, derivative work, distribution and any type of utilisation outside the limits of the copyright requires the written consent of the respective author or originator.

Insofar as the contents on these pages have not been compiled by the operator, the copyrights of third parties will be observed. In particular, content and contributions of third parties are designated as such. Nevertheless if you should become aware of a copyright violation we request that you notify us accordingly. Should such legal violations become known to us we shall promptly remove such contents.

Data protection

Our website can generally be used without furnishing personal data. To the extent that personal data (such as name, address or email addresses) is collected on our web pages, this collection is always done, wherever possible, on a voluntary basis. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
