Exclusion of Liability

1. Content of the Website

The author is not assuming any guarantee for the information provided being up-to-date, accurate, complete or of a specific quality. Liability claims against the author related to material or immaterial damage caused by use or non-use of the information provided or by use of erroneous or incomplete information are excluded unless willfulness or gross negligence by the author can be proven. All offers are non-binding and subject to change. The author reserves the right to amend, add to or delete the entire offer without separate notice or to temporarily or permanently cease publication.

2. References and Links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“links”) outside of the author’s domain of responsibility, liability will only apply in cases where the author is aware of the content and it would be technically feasible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the case of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were placed he was unaware of any illegal content on the sites being linked. The author has no influence on the current and future layout, content or authorship of the linked sites. For this reason, he is expressly distancing himself from the content of all linked sites amended after placement of the links. This declaration will apply to all links and references placed on his own website as well as to external entries in guestbooks, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. The provider of the website being referred to and not the provider of the website referring to the publication via links will be exclusively liable for illegal, erroneous or incomplete content, in particular for damage caused by use or non-use of the information presented in this way.
